From the Pit, With Pride
SmokeHouse Pit Beef is Middle River's home for authentic Maryland pit beef — sliced thin, piled high, made to order every time.
SmokeHouse Pit Beef | Our Story
Part of Middle River
We're on Eastern Boulevard in Middle River — a waterfront neighborhood where our regulars are boaters, families, and folks we know by order. This place belongs to the community.
Maryland's Own BBQ Tradition
Pit beef is Baltimore's own tradition — not Texas brisket, not Carolina pulled pork. We cook it over the pit, slice it thin off the roast, and stack it high on a Kaiser roll or brioche, just the way you want it.
Your Way, Off the Pit
Rare, medium, or well done — you call it, we cut it fresh. Every sandwich starts with meat that's been on the pit until it's exactly right, then sliced to order so nothing's ever sitting around getting cold.
Sergeant Nick's Burger
Named for a real person — an eight-ounce patty loaded with pit beef, coleslaw, cheddar, and secret sauce on a brioche roll. Built like a monument, made with love.
Mama's Recipes, Still Going
Mama's potato salad, honey-baked cornbread, homemade coleslaw and chili — these sides are half the reason people keep coming back.
