Best pit beef in the area. It’s great. Only issue is the line forms by the dumpster. They should fix this! Definitely carry out.

This place is 100% the best pit beef within a 45 min radius. Anyone who rates their food below 5 stars is a straight liar looking for attention and has NO TASTE in food.. This place is CASH ONLY but there is an ATM in the liquor store next door. They also have one on site I believe. If you are thinking about trying this place DO IT, it’ll change your life!… Yes this is a true honest review. I don’t know a single person who works there by name. I would share a picture but I scared my sandwich down before I could take a breath.

This is the definition of a hole in the wall place. Their pit beef, turkey and ham are awesome. The employees are friendly. I grew up getting pit beef here and continue going often. They are CASH ONLY. Prices are cheap.

I'm going to put it out there, it's a hole in the wall and it's not most visually appealing food. But it's pit beef, the food which nourishes the working class. It's not fine dining so keep your expectations low and have them surprisingly exceeded. Having lived in the Howard county area for 30 years, pioneer pit beef has stood the test of time. My mentor took me here when I was on middle school and I remembered thinking this was the best thing ever. Though it used to 8 dollars for a super pit beef platter, inflation has only raised it to 11 dollars in 2024. In contrast to the food industry where consistently is severing lacking, pioneer pit beef on the other hand thrives in consistency. The staff has barely changed through the generations with the same ownership. This has kept cost down and operational steadiness throughout its history. The value one receives from this establishment far exceeds any fast food chain. Food this fresh and fast is unmatched.Treat yourself to the super pit beef platter (medium rare). Tiger sauce and onion are my go to. No gravy on the fries. Get a pickle if you are the sour/savory type.Cash only!

I go here every time I’m in town—about 3 times per year. Piled high sandwiches with perfect flavor. Quaint and just about perfect for Baltimore pit beef.

Walk into the yellow shed hidden behind the liquor store and you've come to the right place. Lunch crowd was steady and ordering is quick and efficient as you walk through the shed and walk out the other side with food in hand. Service staff was friendly. There are three benches if you care to eat outside the shed, or take it to go. As for the pit beef sandwich I ordered medium rare, it was flavorful, though a little stringy and fatty in some bites. The meat was more medium than medium rare. The onions were flavorful, the horseradish was perfect and not overpowering, and the mayo was good.

The absolute best Pit Beef in Maryland, but they need to add a little more love to their french fries. I think they need to cook them a little bit longer, though.

Roaches! Place is really looking run down anymore. Today was it, roach walking on the wall inside, can't eat here any longer. They really need to clean the filth.
