A DE Classic has really gone down through the years. My family came after church for a quick bite to eat. We needed to travel back to PA so gave the pit a chance (since I am a DE native.) Our server was sweet and food was ok (not what it used to be.) The entire restaurant is filthy. From windows, to walls, bathroom, corner to corner is filthy. Kirkwood Highway location needs a thorough cleaning, extensive wipe and upgrade!!!! Missing the mark in the age of COVID badly! As a DE native visiting home, will not return*
If you like standing around not being waited on served or acknowledged as being in the building, THIS is the dump you should visit. Lots of employees none of them waiting on customers.
I enjoyed the food here but I’m not ordering from them anymore. They have consistently mess up the last half dozen times I’ve ordered take out. Leaving items out, ignoring special requests or modifications and the staff couldn’t care less when I called to let them know. After this many chances if just have to imagine it is never going to improve.
Great burgers, fries are okay. 99% of my take out orders have been seemlessThe indoor dining is cool, they have old fashion jukeboxes at eat table.
This place is one of my favorites! Definitely a Delaware classic. I consider myself a connoisseur of food as I travel quite often for my “Gas, Grub, and Ghosts” v-log. These burgers are awesome! I’d recommend the Kennett Square burger if you like mushrooms. We’re only a few miles from the mushroom capital of the world! I also like their ice cream. They have a bunch of local favorites named after Delaware high schools. This is a good place for the whole family. Kids love it! They also have a few games and coin machines so bring some quarters. Great atmosphere as well here at the Charcoal Pit.
Ehh it's not as good as the one on 202. Tables was sticky food was not bad buy nothing special. Milk shakes were just ehh. I more than likely won't be back.
Not the Charcoal Pit from your childhood. This place has gone downhill, terrible food, staff and atmosphere.
A young man was touching himself in a booth nearby but the beer battered fish was wonderful
Food was okay but service is good and prices are average.
Great place for quiet socializing, friendly staff, good food selection
