Amazing food! We stopped by out of curiosity to check out the menu and couldn’t resist trying the jalapeño sausage and mac and cheese—they were absolutely delicious! Not to mention the amazing cornbread. This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to often. Richard and his son Derek were incredibly personable, professional, and friendly.

I’m literally in the middle of eating it right now. Richard was right that the pulled pork sandwich didn’t need barbecue sauce. That being said, the barbecue sauce was icing on the top (I’m a barbecue sauce guy to the core)

If you’re racing through Maryland, Vittles in the Pines is the ultimate BBQ pit stop. Owner Richard Franklin serves up Texas-style barbecue at its finest—his beef brisket, pulled chicken, and smoked jalapeño sausage are unmatched. And the Grandma Baked Beans? Incredibly seasoned, rich, and packed with bold, smoky-sweet flavor—easily the best I’ve had in the state. Every bite is a win! I absolutely will be a regular going forward!

Richard did a wonderful job catering my micro-wedding! Arrived on time to set up food, food was to die for, and overall was a great experience. I would highly recommend Vittles In The Pines to anybody looking for some high quality BBQ for any occasion! My wedding had ~35 people attend and we were well fed. We even got to take home the left overs! Thank you so much again for such a perfect experience!

I am Texan and I know and love brisket. This brisket itself was delicious. That said, the bbq sauce could use some energizing; a little salty and not enough flavor. I’d love to give this place a good rating as I am all for entrepreneurship in the country, however when your brisket sandwich - something any and every backyard and roadside bbq joint should know how to do, and do well - delivers you a full mouthful of pure fat, a big blob, the potential for a high rating goes down the tube. I did like the shredded cabbage on the sandwich. Not something I’ve seen before and it did add texture (crunch) and flavor. Overall, keep it up guys. Just check your chopped beef a little better when you’re putting it between two buns. Get a better bbq sauce. And, maybe next time I’ll try your pulled pork or something. Worth a second try, anyway.

Simply delish! Honestly. Whole heartedly. This BBQ is the best! The smoked pork and chicken are tasty and never disappoint. The cucumber salad is the best too. And for Pimento cheese lovers, the secret Southern Cross sandwich will keep you coming back for more! We were so happy to see Vittles returning this season to Pleasant Valley Farm!!!
Richard is the owner and he is amazing! Great sliders and fries ? check out their food truck at the Stone Silo Brewery

So good! So glad to have them at Stone Silo brewery!

NO BBQ in town is like V.I.P!! Literally the absolute best BBQ in town and dare I say and I will the best in Maryland!!!!! Love it
Salam Dahbour
I love this place! The food is outstanding. I think they’re the BBQ in the Olney area. Excellent BBQ chicken, ribs are fantastic, the armadillo eggs are insanely good, pulled pork is excellent, and I love the cucumber salad. Literally everything I’ve tried is top notch. And the folks who run the stand are really nice too.

Best bbq in MoCo and the best I've had in Maryland. I've enjoyed their entire menu over the past couple years and I give their grub five very deserving stars, but their friendliness, attitude, and service deserves six stars. They kept their burners on for me on my birthday after they had closed, they accommodated to my mom's gluten intolerance, and kept amazing conversation while we waited. They're local to the Laytonsville area so they know the ins and outs of all the local breweries and give amazing recommendations to beers, restaurants, and even other food trucks!These guys are simply the best of the best. Do yourself a favor and follow them on Facebook to keep up with where they're at each weekend. VIP will never disappoint, thank you Richard, Shawn, and Christina!
