Bar B Q Pit restaurant has been a Merced institution for ever! If you're a long-time Mercedian, you'll recall, back in the day, it was known as Cecil's Golden Chicken - not I'm dating myself - but for the last 30 years, it's been known as Bar B Q Pit. Old school, Merced dining, barbecue and more... As with all of reviews that I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.
Photo: Thank you, my friend Dan Weir, for sending me the photo of the breakfast you enoyed on Sunday, November 13, 2022. What could be be better than enjoying a breakfast of menudo, corn tortillas and all of the extras?
Photo: Bar B Q Pit, in it's present form, or it's former self, has been a Merced dining institution for ever! Saturday, June 21, 2014, I'm joining my friend Dan Weir to enjoy breakfast at one of Merced's finest breakfast restaurants.
Photo: The main dining room. No, it ain’t fancy, but it's family-friendly, clean and very comfortable.
Photo: Of course the decor is very "retro" and period cars, and "old school" Coca Cola memorabilia are the rage, which always contributes to the atmosphere.
Photo: Our friendly server, Lisa, who is a personal friend of my buddy Dan Weir, takes our order. Note the bicycle in the center of the photo... what? Doesn't the decor remind you of a Route 66 diner? Whatever the case, I love it!
Photo: Saturday morning breakfast at Bar B Q Pit. My buddy Dan Weir on the left, and "me" on the right enjoy identical breakfasts. Dan recommended the Cajun Chicken Fried Steak, so I followed his reccomendation; check out the next photo to see what it's all about. Thanks to friendly Lisa for taking the photo.
Photo: When you choose a "Cajun Chicken Fried Steak" breakfast, you have many options, such as... Hash browns or home-style potatoes? Or... beans? Bisket, tortillas or toast? ... What type of bread? How do you want your eggs cooked? The varieties are endless and Bar B Q Pit makes it "your way." I trust my friend Dan's breakfast opinion totally, so I followed him, and we ordered the same thing: Cajun Chicken Fried Steak. Oh yeah! Mind you, the "Cajun Chicken Fried Steak" breakfast is not on the menu, as the menu advertises a "Chicken Fried Steak." Since Dan is a regular at the restaurant - he eats breakfast at the restaurant every Sunday before church - he knows everybody, and he knows the protocol. So, upon his suggestion, we both asked for the "Cajun option," which includes Cajun seasoning into their already awesome gravy. So, if you're a lover of chicken fried steak, home style potatoes, with a bit of a kick, this breakfast if for you! I loved it!!! "Cajun Chicken Fried Steak" isn't on the menu, as you have to ask. But, just "Go For lt!" The meat was so tender, as you didn't need a knife to cut it, the gravy was thick, spicy - not hot - and totally delicious. Eggs over easy were cooked perfectly, and the home style potatoes were GREAT, including diced onion and pepper. Truly a great breakfast! When you're in the mood for a great breakfast in Merced, look no further than Bar B Q Pit, as they have all the bases covered. Bar B Q Pit Copyright(c) 2014 eRench Productions, Inc.
