My friend who goes every weekend because she loves it so much brought me here and I was pleasantly surprised! I got the ribs and sausage with two sides, mac n chees and fried cabbage. I wasn't a huge fan of the mac n cheese being filled with brisket too but I think that's just my personal preference. The fried cabbage was yummy and crunchy without being overly slimy, it was also full of bacon and flavor. I paid 22 for my two meat two sides plate and went home with leftovers. My friend got the SMALL frito pie and look at the size of that in the picture! Definitely worth the trip. This place embodies what people mean when they talk about the amazing bbq places in Texas that are just little hole in the walls off of a highway. Also, I forgot to mention the AMAZING staff. I felt so welcome and they were very attentive and friendly. Loved it!

Right off a busy highway, you can find this little gem. With no expectations at all, my wife wanted to try this place. The brisket is the best meat on the menu, no sauce needed at all. If your brisket is this good, it's a money printer. This brisket can hold itself with the best of them. The cabbage is a new twist to vegetables with BBQ, which turned out to be one of my favorite things of the meal. I'd give this place an 8.3. If you are around LBK, try and make time for this little gem.

I was really surprised. You know that saying don't judge a book by its cover ? Well, let me tell you, I wasn't going to post anything about this place because then the crowds start to show up and it can make or break a small restaurant. But they were so darn good!! So, the burger topped with brisket, my son who is super picky, gave it a 4.5 out 5. I just gave him a side eye... lol. We tried the pulled pork , brisket, and pork ribs . Pulled pork and brisket were delicious. The ribs were super good . But had a bold pepper flavor that I think you will love or not. The same goes with the atmosphere. You will love it or not. The food was so good, just get it to go. Lol. Overall, my family will be back . There are no pictures because it looks like BBQ. BBQ is something that needs to be tasted to know. Next time, I will try the sausages and turkey.. for sure .

Grew up having brisket, beans, and potato salad for lunch on Saturdays. We were in Slaton and decided to try out Pitforks & Smokerings, and, Wow, I'm glad we did. I did 1 meat plate with brisket, beans, brisket mac&cheese, with a homemade tortilla. Top Notch! We'll be back even though we live in Lubbock, it's worth the drive.

Amazing food and service. It's worth the drive from Lubbock. You might want to call ahead to see if they have what you want, as they run out sometimes since they are becoming increasingly popular (and well-deserved). They've got free beer if you're dining outside. Moist brisket, good mac & cheese. There's so much more I could say, but I'll just say that I struggle to find any complaints.

This by far one of the best bbq places I’ve been to. All this time living so close to such great bbq. Can’t wait to go back and try more items. Loved sitting outside watching a thunderstorm roll in it was a perfect atmosphere.

I finally made it out to the Lubbock area and got to meet Isaac and Ashley Arellano, the incredible couple who run Pitforks and Smokerings BBQ in Slaton. Holy cow I was blown away by both their kindness and hospitality as well as their incredible food! I was in heaven with every delicious bite of smoked meat and each side. They really took great care of me - well beyond what I could have dreamed of. I got to try the moist and lean brisket - fabulous bark, great flavor and perfectly-rendered fat - everything you could hope for in brisket. The pork spareribs were immaculate. The brisket burnt ends were absolutely ridiculous! And the icing on the cake was the pile of fajitas! OMG they were otherworldly! The sides that I got to try were equally stunning. I could have eaten the brisket mac-n-cheese all day long. The potato salad was exceptional. And the fried cabbage blew my mind. Everything about the experience was next-level. I sooooo wish that Slaton was a little closer to Houston so I could just pop over and enjoy their incredible food and amazing hospitality all the time. Next time I'm gonna get there on a Friday so I can enjoy their pork steaks, Or maybe Saturday - burger day! If you find yourself anywhere near Lubbock, you have got to go see Isaac and Ashley. They will take fantastic care of you. And tell 'em Dave sent you.

Such great barbecue & sides. Friendly staff and comforting atmosphere. If you’re in Slaton, Tx stop by Pitfork and Smokerings BBQ to savor their amazing barbecue. We had their brisket, sandwich and smoked burger with sides. All were so good!
