I am writing this post primarily to tell you what an asset Aubrey is to the CBQ. I had a gift card to use at the resort. She was having trouble getting it to process. She went the extra mile to get it to go thru. She asked for assistance from her peers, but know one seemed to be familiar with the process. She was finally able to get help from Ty, who is a hotel manager there. Ty, came over to the CBQ, and was able to process it. Thank you Ty. I give Aubrey a 10 star rating, for the way she conducted herself with the issue. She is very pleasant, great attitude, and a problem solver. Thank you, Aubrey!

The reason for the 2 Star rating on the food, was my friend and I ordered the baby back ribs, which were very dry and not much taste to them. Would not order them again. Very disappointing to those of us who live here and frequent the restaurants in the beach. Would not recommend to others to eat there.

rack of ribs dry, over cooked and tasteless. Very clean place. Bartender nice but needs a uniform. Drinks served in a plastic cup????? I am a local resident. Not impressed.

The chip beef gravy for breakfast was amazing. It was the real deal, chip beef.. The waitress was very sweet and helpful..

Very dry brisket, very strange smoke flavored kielbasa almost like liquid smoke poured on it. Mac and cheese-good. Bland greens. There were dirty tables and window sills have so much dust buildup, yet workers just standing around. Not recommended.

The woman at the desk was nice but the tables were dirty and I got the deviled eggs with pit beef and it was all cold. Wasn't pleasant tasting. Other than that, it was okay. My boyfriend got the brisket and it was cold and he said tough as well. Please make things better for everyone and espthe locals. This is not a good look for Chesapeake beach.

I ordered a pork bbq sandwich with fries and added on an extra side of Mac n cheese… They charged me 5.00 extra for the tiniest little cup ever!!! I myself work in a restaurant- and it was truly embarrassing to me!!! I woulda doubled that!!! I know y’all are poor from them renovates but damn!! Never again for me! And I’ve tried 1936- and their food and service aren’t great either!!! Sorry but not sorry! Terrible is just terrible!!

The food was merely adequate, the staff in attentive and the tables dirty. They aspire to be a good barbecue restaurant but fail in the most basic areas. I had the Pit Mix, which consisted of a choice of two meats but they limit your choices to brisket, kielbasa, or chicken. I got brisket and kielbasa. The brisket was served well done and the kielbasa was overcooked which caused the outer skin to be difficult to cut with the flimsy plastic utensils. For sides they have limited options - collard greens, baked beans, coleslaw, Mac & cheese, all in small 3/4 cup servings. It was expensive. For my wife and me, it was $51.

Beware if you order something from the kiosk, if they don't have it, you cannot get a refund but they will substitute it for something else.

I had the pleasure of being served by Marybeth the bartender who was absolutely incredible. She not only tended to one of our preferences, but she exceeded an elevated all the drinks we got one of the most notable moments was the Keylime crush she made for our wedding party. I think it was easily a fan favorite when we come back again, we will be sure to ask for Marybeth. Thank you for a wonderful weekend

I am a local, and have gone here a few times. I ordered a drink and the bartender picked the lemons/limes out with this fingers, and did not wash his hands the whole time I was there. I'm not a germaphobe, but tongs are a good idea.

I wish I could rate this higher, amazing location, great views, such amazing potential. But the food was just bad. I got served cold food twice in a row. The fries I was served were uncooked, filled with oil and cold in the center(the fryer was either not turned on or needs repair in my opinion), brisket was cold, I asked for a replacement and the replacement was not much better. I was told they were slammed - the restaurant was empty (3 tables with 2 people each). The servers were very nice, I hope it was just an off weekend.
