This is, hands-down, the best BBQ in the area. We were let down when they moved from the Publix shopping center, so found a couple other places, and were going exclusively to one place for a while, until the food and service there went downhill, for some reason. We decided to give Pitmaster's another try, and are glad we did!... More

We stumbled on this place in search of good authentic bbq. So sick of Sonny's and Woody's. This is the first time I've had spare ribs that were as tasty and tender like baby back ribs. St Louis style ribs...try them. We've never left hungry. The bloody Mary's are fantastic and have a nice kick to them.

Went there for a late lunch so there weren't many people. There is very little atmosphere and the place out front is rather small (although there is a large back room and outdoor seating). I had the cowboy soup which very much resembled beef stew- tasty and filling. I also had the salad bar which had the normal lettuce, tomato,... More

I have tried several barbecue places, but none compare to the quality of Pitmasters. They serve large portions and the sauces, oh you gotta try them. I had the pulled pork sandwich with a glass of sweet tea.....YUMMY YUMMY. You can sit outback under a covered patio when it gets cooler and enjoy the quietness.

Just horrible food and absolutely no atmosphere. Need I say more. The owner is rude and a bully. The staff tries hard but they don't have much to work with.

We started with an excellent soup of the day (shrimp corn chowder) and an exceptional Pitmaster (brunswick) stew. We had the BBQ salad and the Hillbilly sandwich, both of which featured a large helping of an excellent pulled pork. The pork was shredded into large strips of dry roast pork not the sloppy joe style found in cheaper establishments and... More

Ate at the Pitmaster Barbeque Restaurant on Highway 17, just outside of DeLand FL. It has a DeLand mailing address, however, it is close to DeLeon Springs. The restaurant was busy, but not noisy. One can eat outside under a canopy or inside. The waitres was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant was clean as a whistle and served great... More

BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!!!!! The service was great, the food was amazing. We had ribs, fries, baked beans, texas toast, the spicy sausage, and even ordered dinner to bring home. That brisket for dinner couldn't have been better! I'd make the drive from Ocala to Deland the next time I'm in the mood for BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!!

After months and months of driving past saying we need to try that BBQ joint, my wife and I recently did. We ordered the combo for four since we've never ate their before we wanted to try a bit of everything. Unless you have to eat your BBQ dripping wet with sauce I would say stay far, far away. the...
