I have used Vaughn's Pit Stop BBQ for 3 large corporate catering events in the past few months and every time we've used them, they've exceeded my expectations! They take great care to make sure the quality and freshness of their food is repeated every time. They traveled to Brookland and Walnut Ridge for two of the events. They stayed at every event from setup to cleanup, helped serve food and even helped us deliver leftovers to local first responders. They have all your typical southern BBQ restaurant menu items and staples but Megan is always willing to think outside the box and prepare items based on the customer's needs. They are just genuinely good people with a genuinely good product! And a great price!! Whether you need them for a large event or are just craving some legit bbq - support them if you have the chance! You won't regret it.

Lovely place, warm southern hospitality feel, great food, the build your own smoked buffalo chicken nachos were a ton of food for the price and there’s a bunch of options of free additional toppings, felt good to see people happy at work, support this new local business unless you just want yet another split decision between McDonald’s & Sonic every 7 miles, I felt like I was in a fast food insane asylum for like 100 miles and was delighted to eat here
