I recently moved to the neighborhood and decided to try out Rani’s barbecue pit. It’s clear that Rani takes pride in her food and has been a dedicated member of the community for over 24 years. She makes everything from scratch, including the samosas and empanadas. The veggie burger with spinach, lentils, and rice was a standout, and the turkey chili and meatloaf were also delicious. Rani and her team put a lot of effort and care into their food, and it shows in the unique flavors and spices used in their dishes. It’s worth a trip from anywhere to try out Rani’s barbecue pit! And don’t forget about the ribs and chicken in the corn bread.

Best in the city…. far better than any of the fancy schmancy BBQ joints. I’d confidently take any of my food connoisseur friends here to marvel over the marbled meat! No wonder this unassuming spot has outlasted most other establishments. Rani has been in business 24 years- she is the best in the business!!

The place was cozy, the waitress was friendly and help us deciding what to try. I had the ribs and chicken which it was delicious and tender. Wifey had bbq pulled pork not a wow factor for her. It look like too much BBQ sauce. I believe the sides should be a little more for the price they charging. Mac n cheese was real small. Garlic mash needed a little kick to it. Overall I might give it another shot.

In town for a gig called over to a neighborhood that had multiple eateries. This was the one I picked and I’m so glad I did. Food was pre-prepped but finished on the grill. I had the chicken and ribs platter the ribs come off the bone every time I try to take a bite. The ladies customer service was amazing. Even after we finished eating and sat outside she kept checking on us to make sure we were good and even one of the guys that she noticed that did not eat there she offered to get him some things off the menu you as well

Very quiet, and not crowded at all, even for a Friday night. The staff is attentive, and very concerned on how you enjoy your food. They really want you to come back. The Mozzarella Sticks are a good choice for appetizer. The Catfish is a very good choice for entree. The Ribs I was told are very popular there. The BBQ sauce comes in a warm bottle, and left for you to pour it on yourself. It definately taste better with the sauce. The Collard Greens were very undercooked, almost raw. The Sweet Potatoes were not that sweet. The Mash Potatoes with gravy was pretty decent. Not the best BBQ I have had, but the place is okay.
