18 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Germantown

“Rada waited on the four of us with the most FANTASTIC SERVICE I have ever experienced in quite a while. He was super friendly and proactive on all fronts. We will be back here for our bbq“

“Oh my sweet baby Moses if you've been missing out on this chicken and ribs you are gonna cry yourself to sleep the night after you come in and try it here!!Maybe it's the authentic Amish hats adding flavor, but probably a brine, because the fried chicken is on an entirely different level than anything corporate.And the rib meal comes with a mess of ribs and fantastic sides, everything below was about $20 - insane flavor and value.“

“after hearing people speak about how great k pots were and seeing videos all over my daughter wanted to try it. the other day I saw that hazlet NJ on RT 35 was open so for lunch today i took my son who is 5, my daughter 9, and myself. it was a HUGE WASTE OF 75 DOLLARS. so you have to pick either from the korean BBQ or the hot pot. so my son and I wanted BBQ my daughter wanted both...the server told me if she wanted the soup we ALL had to have the soup which is an extra 5 dollar charge PER PERSON. if it was ONE big bowl of ramen to share id understand but they brought 3 individual bowls like ordering soup from somewhere else, so they basically force everyone at the table to add it if only 1 person wants it so that went to waste. shortly after starting to eat her meal my daughters stomach started bothering her weird... but anyway the food was already cooked so i asked the server if i could have a box to take the food home that we ordered and made, to eat home because my daughter didnt feel well. we didnt over order at all there was 3 of us we ordered a plate of garlic chicken, a plate of garlic shrimp, 1 plate of pork belly which is literally 2 slicices, and 1 plate of beef and a few veggies. if you have been here you know the plates are SMALL. so she said she couldnt give us a box but would have to charge us 13.99 a lb for the food to go...so my question is, WHAT DID I SPEND 75 DOLLARS ON? I didnt order more and cook it to try and take home just my first original order. also the food was bland no sauces or seasoning for the bbq they don't explain anything to you very well so if you've never done it you have no idea how long to cook the vegetables and everything else like potatoes and corn! they would take forever to cook. so they were hard and raw still after almost 35 minutes. this place is a ripoff and kind of a scam. when you go to dinner does EVERYONE HAVE TO ORDER SOUP AND BE CHARGED? NO so the manager came over and being my daughter wasnt feeling well he " only charged me 5 dollars" for food items already paid for. I dont recommend it especially if you have kids. and dont want to be forced to pay for things you don't want, oh and the Ramen we were forced to pay for that my daughter just wanted we weren't allowed to take that home either! its mind boggling. I understand at a buffet people fill plates and dont eat and then want to take mounds of food home but this was literally less than a pint of food for 75 dollars and that's their " lunch" price. I give the place a few months before they close. 0 out of 20 stars!“

“My girlfriend and I come to this longhorn all the time at least once or twice a month. We order the exact same meal every time. So that's how we could tell something was wrong with my gfs steak. The experience is usually great. We visited on 10/17/24 we both ordered ribeye 12oz med-well but my gfs steak looked and tasted way different than mine. Mine was cooked very well and hers had the well done look and was very rubbery. She sent it back to get it re cook and Sydney(I guess she was a manager or something) brought it back out and gave her a med done steak when we asked for med-well Sydney proceeded to say that's just how we do our med-well steaks hinting to us that's how they do all their med-well ribeye steaks even though that's not true since my steak came out perfectly. Her tone was unwelcoming and we did not appreciate that. She tried to make it seem like my gf didn't know what she was talking about. We both took a bit of offense to that because we are normal customers here and our waiter adrien could attest to that. Our waiter Adrien was very professional and did a great job with the experience.“

“Although my favorite is the Bowls; everything is fresh, healthy and delightful! The food is scrumptious and the restaurant is always, clean and the entire team is welcoming and professional. I frequent the Germantown location several times a week and am impressed everytime. The staff feel like family. The management at this store screams SUPERB Leadership!!!!!!!“

“Finally we have a good Pakistani restaurant in Maryland, that we don’t have drive an hour to get to! I have nothing but rave reviews for Zaiqa BBQ. my family and friends love going there. the food is fresh and delicious. The establishment is new, service is friendly. bathrooms are clean (which is a rare find in desi restaurants sometimes). Some of our favorites are the Butt Karahi, Shinwari chicken karhai, beef Chapli kebabs, chicken Tikka and goat karahi. Last week I catered food from them for a party at my home. It was a hit! Their beef haleem is of professional level. People always find the time to write a review when they are unhappy. I spent the time today to write a positive review because I feel this restaurant deserves it! keep it up, and we will keep coming back!“

“A great experience, the food was delicious and you get a lot of it! Will definitely go again!“

“We stopped in for lunch after my Daughter's Gymnastics Competition this morning! The staff were Awesome! She was still in her gear and medals from the Competition and everyone was saying congratulations to her! This absolutely made my 9 year olds day even more special, when they brought her a tray with desert and congratulations on your great day written on the paper! I am glad we stopped in on the way home to Virginia! Thank you all! oh the deserts were great!“

“Excellent bbq and sandwiches everything is excellent always will come back here“

“One of my top 3 pork sandwiches ever. Great quick staff and good portions. Will be back soon.“

“I was blown away by the quality of Mackie's food. Not only was it incredibly flavorful, but it was also presented beautifully. The staff was attentive and professional, and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. If you're looking for a catering company that can handle any size event, I highly recommend Mackie's.“

“Great service at great prices“

“Firepit is amazing! No doubt this is the best bbq I ever had in my life. 🔥🔥“

“Went to the olney location for the first time for my dad’s birthday yesterday. This place is awesome. The ribs are some of the best I’ve ever had. Ton of meat and it falls right off the bone. We had 3 racks between 4 adults and 3 kids and I’m eating leftovers tonight again. I give it a 5 out of 5 . Go here and eat!!!“

“oh my goodness. Everything, the freshest seafood I've seen in just about ever, delicious broths, huge portions, great presentation. My first hot pot experience and I will be back, a lot of times. Met the owner, and he was wonderful too. I highly suggest supporting this tasty, and fresh establishment“

“I love this place for the vibe and the fact that it stays open until 2:00 a.m. is a huge bonus. Sometimes I’m just so hungry late at night and there’s nowhere else open. Weekends are especially fun when other diners get into the karaoke. It creates such a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

On my first visit, our server was named Vicky (or Vicki) she was super sweet, very attentive, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Overall, just a great server!

The food was decent, and I’ll definitely be coming back, mostly for the awesome late-night energy and fun vibe.“

“Good food, love the salad, and good service!“
