History

Chaps Pit Beef was established in 1987 by Gus and Bob. Chaps was a 12x15 shack with no electricity and/or phone. We simply had beef, ham, and sausage served with joy and the hope of seeing delight and enjoyment from the faces of our customers. In the beginning, Chaps struggled, but we soon had electricity and a phone. Donna joined our team, and 22 years later we are still here. Over the years, Chaps has grown, as well as, our menu serving hot dogs, mexican ham, fish platters and much, much more. Chaps has also been seen in The City Paper and has been voted “Baltimore’s Best” from 1991–2005.

Chaps Pit Beef has been in business for 24 years, and we are celebrating our success this fall.
