Great beef first time, try and get.I got the rare it was delicious.I would definitely recommend
Classic old school place right near Catonsville, all wood burning stove with some delicious pit beef and pit turkey. I’ve never had pit beef before but this place was stellar and my friends loved it. They give huge portions especially for the fries and gravy. The sandwiches we got were great and you can ask how you want your beef either medium rare, medium, or well done. The sauces on the side such as the horseradish, tiger sauce (the best sauce) and their barbecue sauce are all worth getting as well. Highly recommend this place and just remember to bring CASH!
Pioneer Pit Beef sits behind a liquor store, has barred windows, and shares a parking lot with county and state road-crew trucks. That alone tells you most of what you need to know. You order through a smoky window off a narrow, dim corridor. The place barely feels indoors. Last time I was there, the guy at the register looked genuinely cold. No one’s pretending this is comfortable. The pit beef is excellent. Plain and simple. Fries are solid, portions are big, and it’s cash only. Given how stripped-down the place is, anything less than generous would feel like a ripoff—but they deliver. If you’re putting together a pit beef list, this belongs on it. You can probably find something fancier. You’re going to have a hard time finding something better.
