| Pitt Cue Co was a tiny corner restaurant in [[Locale Soho|Soho]] focusing primarily on ribs and other American bbq-style meat dishes. This location has now closed. The company behind it opened another, larger restaurant at 1 The Avenue, Devonshire Square, EC2M 4YP (near [[Liverpool Street Station]]), but [https://london.eater.com/2019/6/10/18659458/pitt-cue-london-devonshire-square-restaurant-closed this has now closed too]. |

<div class="old_info"> A tiny corner restaurant in [[Locale Soho|Soho]] focusing primarily on ribs, as well as similar American bbq-style meat dishes. This is a permanent site for Pitt Cue Co., who previously had operated a food van on the [[Locale South Bank|South Bank]]. Note that like many recent openings, they do not take reservations, so you're advised to show up early. |
On [[Ewan]]'s first visit shortly after they opened, a small queue had formed at 6pm, and it took about five minutes after opening for the first ten people to be seated. There wasn't even enough space to fit the 15-20 people outside into the upstairs bar, and they were only letting them in incrementally. |

The upstairs bar has one draught tap (entitled 'Whatever', featuring a rotating keg beer; you have to ask what this is, £2/half), but specialises in a short range of cocktails. |

There wasn't even enough space to fit the 15-20 people outside into the upstairs bar while people were seated, so they were only letting in customers incrementally. The upstairs bar has one draught tap (entitled 'Whatever', featuring a rotating keg beer; you have to ask what this is), but specialises in a short range of cocktails. On [[Ewan]]'s most recent visit in March 2012, the draught tap was dispensing Meantime Helles (£2/half). |

On a return visit at the tail end of a Thursday lunchtime (around 2:15pm), there was no queue and only a few people upstairs. [[Ewan]] ordered the pulled pork bun (£6.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/6987049985/ photo]</small>, which was delivered quickly in a bag for takeaway. The soft bun was filled generously with tender pulled pork, as well as other pickled vegetables and a sweet sauce, eaten all too quickly and definitely worth a visit on its own. |

A tiny restaurant in Soho focusing on ribs and other American bbq-style meat dishes. This is a permanent site for the outfit, who previously had operated a food van on the South Bank.
Inside, there's a zinc-topped bar at the ground level, with stool seating around the edge of the room for perhaps 6-8 people. The main restaurant area is downstairs, with covers for around 20, very squashed in together and dimly lit.
On Ewan's first visit shortly after they opened, a small queue had formed at 6pm, and it took about five minutes after opening for the first ten people to be seated. There wasn't even enough space to fit the 15-20 people outside into the upstairs bar, and they were only letting them in incrementally.
The upstairs bar has one draught tap (entitled 'Whatever', featuring a rotating keg beer; you have to ask what this is, £2/half), but specialises in a short range of cocktails.
Downstairs the restaurant is very tightly packed together in a tiny square space. The menu sticks to a few basic dishes photo of the menu in Jan 2012, and specials are listed on a board as well as scrawled on the menu. Food is served on rectangular tin trays, going for a sort of prison-chic theme. Ewan tried the St Louis Ribs (£9) photo which were fantastic, sticky and slightly sweet but with plenty of tender meat falling off the bone. A side of burnt-end mash (£3) was also excellent, creamy mash topped with the burnt ends.
On a return visit at the tail end of a Thursday lunchtime (around 2:15pm), there was no queue and only a few people upstairs. Ewan ordered the pulled pork bun (£6.50), which was delivered quickly in a bag. The soft bun is filled generously with pulled pork, as well as other pickled vegetables and a sweet sauce, and was very enjoyable.
