Reviews of Pioneer Pit Beef
"I'm going to put it out there, it's a hole in the wall and it's not most visually appealing food. But it's pit beef, the food which nourishes the working class. It's not fine dining so keep your expectations low and have them surprisingly exceeded. Having lived in the Howard county area for 30 years, pioneer pit beef has stood the test of time. My mentor took me here when I was on middle school and I remembered thinking this was the best thing ever. Though it used to 8 dollars for a super pit beef platter, inflation has only raised it to 11 dollars in 2024. In contrast to the food industry where consistency is severing lacking, pioneer pit beef thrives at it. The staff and ownership has barely changed through the generations. This has kept cost down and operational steadiness throughout its history. The value one receives from this establishment far exceeds any fast food chain. Food this fresh and fast is unmatched. Treat yourself to the super pit beef platter (medium rare). Tiger sauce and onion are my go to. No gravy on the fries. Get a pickle if you are the sour/savory type. Cash only!"
"Walk into the yellow shed hidden behind the liquor store and you've come to the right place. Lunch crowd was steady and ordering is quick and efficient as you walk through the shed and walk out the other side with food in hand. Service staff was friendly. There are three benches if you care to eat outside the shed, or take it to go. As for the pit beef sandwich I ordered medium rare, it was flavorful, though a little stringy and fatty in some bites. The meat was more medium than medium rare. The onions were flavorful, the horseradish was perfect and not overpowering, and the mayo was good."
"During our visit to Maryland, we were told that trying Pit Beef was a must, and after exploring various Pit Beef places, I found Pioneer Pit Beef to be my personal favorite. This place is a small establishment located behind a convenience store. As soon as you arrive, the enticing aroma of their smoky dishes fills the air. Despite a long line, the service is efficient and moves quickly. I appreciate the speed of service. I had several customizations I wanted for my sandwich, and they got it right. You have the option to specify how you'd like your meat cooked and select from a variety of sauces to add to your sandwich. I enjoy observing the staff as they prepare my sandwich, slicing the meat right in front of me and assembling my order while I wait in line to pay. I ordered a Medium Rare Super Pit Beef Sandwich with tomatoes, cheese, onions, tiger sauce, hot jus, and a side of French fries. For a sandwich of this size and quality, along with crispy, savory fries, all for less than $10, it's easy to understand why the locals highly recommended this spot, and I wholeheartedly agree. They offer a few outdoor tables, but it's worth noting that this is a cash-only carryout spot. You can withdraw money from the adjacent convenience store for your convenience."
"Fantastic pit beef. The medium rare was perfect. The flavor was excellent. The fries with gravy are scrumptious. The only part that's tough is no covering to eat under. If it's sunny, it's hot. Of it's rainy, it's wet. I'll go back on cool and dry days."
