About Pitmaster
Pitmaster is a barbecue restaurant in Manchester, built around smoking meat and feeding its guests. The brisket loaded fries come topped with either pulled brisket or rib, so diners choose which smoked meat goes on top. Brisket burgers and smoked ribs sit alongside them for those who want their barbecue in a bun or on the bone. The kitchen works from the smoker, and the menu stays focused on grilled and smoked cooking. A bottomless drink option is available for guests who want refills through the meal.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the loaded fries, especially the brisket version with pulled brisket or rib, with one calling it the best they've had. Close behind are the brisket burgers, described as juicy, tender and soft with impeccable sauces, and the brisket itself, which one family said practically melted in their mouths. The nachos with melted cheese and jalapeños also get praise, and one reviewer liked the bottomless drink option. Service draws mostly friendly comments about a welcoming team and an owner who cared, though a few found tables left uncleaned and staff unprofessional, and one suggested takeaway over eating in. Some noted a quiet dining room and smaller than expected chips. The sharpest complaint came from a diner who ordered rib on bone loaded fries and a brisket burger, had the order forgotten, then received shredded rib in the fries and was told the rib had been removed, leaving food with no flavour. Another family skipped the smoked ribs after hearing of a long wait and ate brisket instead.

“Food was excellent 👌🏾 service was fine 🙂 place was quiet 🤫 but that could be day/time dependant hence the average rating. Would recommend if you're hungry. 200g at a minimum is needed!”

“Honestly such a lovely experience! I went on results day and they were giving out free food which was honestly so nice. The food was really good and everything tasted fresh. The manager, who is also the owner, was genuinely so nice, welcoming and friendly. You could tell he really cared about making everyone feel comfortable and happy. Such a lovely place and I’d definitely go again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Absolutely amazing food and a fantastic experience! Pitmaster is definitely worth a visit. Everything we ordered was packed with flavour and looked incredible. The brisket burgers were juicy and loaded with delicious toppings, the loaded fries were absolutely unreal, and the nachos with all that melted cheese and jalapeños were the perfect treat. You can really tell there’s care and passion behind the food. The portions were generous, everything was fresh, and every bite was full of flavour. Honestly, one of those places where you leave already thinking about when you can come back! 😍 Highly recommended — 5 stars from me! 🔥🍔🍟”
