Delicious food, probably one of the best Greek places. Reasonable prices with good size servings. Their fries just hit the right spot, even though you can see them freshly steaming with lots of grease haha if you are feeling like it. Highly recommend the burger with lots of pickles. I loved how they use finely shredded lettuce in their food.

When we asked locals where to eat they pointed us to Charcoal Pit. Apparently Ryan Gosling still goes here and he has good taste! Lots of choice on the menu, the gyros was decent and some of the best fries I have had in town. The place was definitely popular at 1am. Food could have come quicker (took maybe 10 minutes) but the guys behind the bar were friendly enough. Definitely supassed my expectations and would be back.

If it's good enough for Ryan Gosling, it's good enough for me. I ordered the Banquet burger (back bacon and cheese) with fresh cut fries and it was all cooked to perfection - exactly what I needed and had hoped for from a classic side-of-the-road diner. If you are out and about in Burlington and have a hankering for a juicy burger, make sure you check out Charcoal Pit - delicious and satisfying. A+

Charcoal Pit is very good value, but the burgers are very mediocre. The burger bun and toppings are fresh and plentiful, but the burger patty doesn't have much flavour - I definitely could not taste any charcoal. Fries are unsalted, but decent. Atmosphere in the restaurant feels very "greasy spoon" and tired. Fortunately it's kept clean. I probably won't go out of my way to get a burger from here, but I would if it was convenient. Downtown Burlington doesn't have many other options to get a quick burger.

A Burlington classic for many years, if you go down by the lake at all you have to stop in and try it out at least once. Burgers, fries and now lots more on the menu!

Don't be fooled by the look of the facade this place is legit. I tried their chicken soulvaki greek salad and it was delicious. Chicken was soft and salad was fresh I hate it when you get soggy lettuce (not the case at this place). Trying the gyro soulvaki today. Service is also pretty good and attentive. I had ordered and was waiting in the car and the server was kind and thoughtful to come outside in the cold to hand me my order with a big smile. Recommend this place for solid Greek food in Burlington 👌🏽

Terrible quality beef patty. You could taste the grade F meet. For sure they chose the cheapest frozen patty producer to turn a profit. Could not finish my burger. Never coming back. The staff is nice though.

I ordered a Feta Pita tonight through door dash. The pita was supposed to have lettuce, onion, tomatoes, tzatziki and feta. I received the last two ingredients. Literally just a pita with tzatziki and feta. Not to mention the edges were burnt and those areas were rock hard and not edible. I had to throw this out and spend more money to order from somewhere else. Needless to say I will not be ordering again. VERY dissapointed.

So Much Yums!. I was brought here once, about 15 years ago when NRG was in full swing and we needed a post-drinking snack. When NRG closed, I forgot all about this place. I moved to Burlinfton about 4 years ago, and it wasn't until about 3 months ago that I rediscoverd this gem of a restaurant! How fortuitous that I have a friend that lives almost right above The Pit? Fortuitous or dangerous? Hmm...<br/><br/>I usually get the chicken souvlaki on a salad and oh my GAWD is it tasty! The tzatziki is to die for!! I have also had the foot long hot dog with fries and the chicken burger with fries. While not gourmet, as this isn't a gourmet joint, it was all tasty! The fries are sooooo damn good! I have NEVER had a bad experience here. The staff are always friendly!<br/><br/>Who has two thumbs pointed way up?! This gal!!

Landmark in Burlington. Classic. Sure the bugers are frozen. Sure the owners aren't the same as they were when I was a kid. But they kept those fried onions (best burger topping ever!) there and the fries are top notch! Souvlaki is typically well done by a Greek cook. Friendly owner is working 16 hour days to serve you. Open REALLY late - best place to service the late-night bar crowd and there is sometimes a line up around the block at 2:00am. Don't forget to order a Pepperoni Pizza (to which the owner will reply: $75.)

Try the pork souvlaki on a bun. Best in town!

The atmosphere is something to be desired but the burgers and fries are awesome!

Gross restaurant! I would expect somewhere called charcoal pit to have charcoal grilled burgers, however no such luck! Usual rubber like frozen burger patties, like honestly how hard is it for a restaurant to make fresh patties! Throw the grilled rubber pattie into a crusty dry bun and the whole thing was nasty. I did enjoy the hand cut fries though, Swiss chalet could learn a lesson from this place about fresh cut fries.
