Our Dark Culinary Tale
Our Story
Where Smoke Meets Shadow.
Born in the heart of Baltimore, Pit and Pendulum BBQ was forged from a love of low-and-slow cooking, local culture, and a touch of the macabre. Inspired by the city’s dark literary legend Edgar Allan Poe, we built a food truck experience that doesn’t just serve BBQ — it tells a story.
We’re not about gimmicks — we’re about grit, craft, and character. Every brisket we smoke, every rib we glaze, and every side we serve is layered with time, technique, and tradition. Our meats are cooked over real hardwood, our sides are made from scratch, and our flavors are bold enough to haunt your taste buds long after the last bite.
We built this truck to stand out, not blend in. Whether you’re hitting the streets of Fells Point for a festival, booking us for your wedding, or catching us outside a brewery, you’ll find more than just food — you’ll find a mood, a memory, and a little bit of mystery.
Welcome to Pit and Pendulum BBQ — where every plate has a dark side, and every meal is a tale worth telling.
