Alpha Pitt Smokers

"Being a big “Q” fan (I’m visiting from NC the last few months), I’ve been all over the Hampton Roads area on a quest for great BBQ. I’ve found a number of good ones, but Alpha takes good BBQ and fixins and elevates them to another level. Pork and brisket are juicy, flavorful and just the right about of smoke. The slaw good but made great with a unique touch of citrus. The root beer baked beans a bit sweet, but a really different (but yummy) flavor profile. Do NOT miss the gumbo! Rich, hearty and just enough spice to let you know it’s gumbo - delish. I may have the BBQ sauce on the side next time for the pulled pork and brisket as I’m more about the meat than the sauce but all in all a great meal; about the best Q I’ve had since I’ve been in the area. Oh and the service is fun, friendly and really helpful; thx for the recommendations Salynne!"

"The best place for bbq in the area. I mean one of the best restaurants in the area. Lots of parking. Lots of seating. Staff and owners are super friendly. The chicken thighs are my fav. Citrus coleslaw and potato salad are amazing. Golden bbq is my fav flavor. Love going here."

"This place was delicious! Best pork I've had in Virginia! The beans are root beer beans. They weren't bad, but I didn't really like them. Get the Mac n cheese, it's delicious! The waitress was super sweet and very attentive."

"First time visiting today, definitely won't be the last. I got the cheesiest smash burger, with a side of jalapeño mac & cheese. Everything was delicious! The staff was super friendly as well. Can't wait to try new menu items next time."

"So I wanted to try something new. So I googled some BBQ places that weren't too far away from Va Beach. So I decided on this place Alpha Pitt smoker's BBQ. Upon arrival it seemed really small, but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. It was clean and modern, it had a full bar and a lounge area, and regular tables and chairs. No Booths! Which made me happy. The servers were great and made me feel welcome and recommended that I try the bacon wrapped jalapenos smoked and stuffed with cream cheese. So I got that with the BBQ lumpia and cheese curds. This was just to start of course. The Jalapeno's were ok they were kinda mushy but the flavor was good. The lumpia was lacking flavor as well it was mostly potato and I couldn't really taste the brisket in the lumpia. The sauce that was served with the lumpia was pretty good but really sweet. Now for the main... I got the brisket taco and I could have chosen from different styles but the one that interested me was the citrus style. It had brisket with a citrus sauce with fresh made pico and cheese. But I didn't want the cheese. On my first impression of the dish I was shocked! This taco was huge! I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this behemoth! Upon the first bite I got a sweet and smoky sensation that was delightful. The brisket was very tender and the pico was fresh and bright paired along with the citrus sauce. For my side I got some of the most amazing baked beans I've ever had. They were Root Beer baked beans! I loved these I would go back just for these! Overall I was satisfied with Alpha Pitt smokers. There are things they could improve on but overall it was a good experience."
