49 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hanover

“Great place! Welcoming and friendly. The seafood pancakes are delicious.“

“We had an amazing dining experience recently when 3 of us decided to eat at a restaurant outside of the hotel where we were staying. I am so glad we chose Longhorn. Otherwise, we would have missed out on experiencing the service that Shaun provided. Even though he serviced several other tables, he still extended the same amount of attention and care to each of us. His level of customer services was more than just “excellent.” It was “superb.” He made us feel like we were valued and he didn’t miss an opportunity to check to see if we had everything we needed and we were enjoying our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. If I were hiring, Shaun would be my first selection and he would be used as that model employee to train others on what is expected of them as a representative of the company and what we want our customers to experience. Shaun, keep up the good work. We will be back soon.“

“My wife and I went there on a whim cause we were bored with the other places we normally go to. We both were pleasantly surprised! Definitely will go back again Tasty food good atmosphere“

“We have enjoyed Mission BBQ over the years and we decided to have Mission cater our wedding. We were surprised with the extent of services they offered! Not only did they provide the BBQ with sides but we also got appetizers (Cocktail Shrimp and Caprese Skewers), cake cutting service, and excellent cleanup of the buffet area. We even got a card from the staff and a phone call thanking us for choosing them and wishing us well. We want to shout-out Kathryn Donn for her exceptional work in helping us with this catering experience. She went above and beyond in preparing for this event with excellent customer service. Thank you Mission for making our day the best! TL:DR Well organized and professional. We would have them cater events again!“

“Imo Famous Dave's has the best barbecue food! We had the All American Feast with brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and all that comes with it. Service was great (thanks Joe). Always a pleasure eating there. Sorry, forget to take pictures.“

“As authentic as it gets for Baltimore pit beef. 5 stars for atmosphere because anything nicer would not fit, 5 stars for service because it's no frills -- fun small talk, real people, but they aren't catering to any snobs either.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“My daughter and I tried The HH BBQ for the first time a few weeks ago. The best tasting food we’ve had in a long time. I had the ribs and they did not disappoint!! The ribs were tender, moist and very flavorful. My daughter had a cheeseburger and she loved it! The price is affordable. We watch every week for the location near us!! Not only is the food delicious but the guys who serve are courteous, polite and always have a smile on their faces. ♥️“

“Food was delicious! Will be coming back! First time coming here and it was so good, you won’t regret it!“

“Server was delightful, efficient and got everything just right. Each in the party had something different and all were happy. I especially like the onion straws appetizer. I think the collards are a bit too spicy. Macaroni & cheese too spicy for kids but was less spicy than the collards. Ribs perfect. Both kinds“

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service“

“Excellent Catering Menu! Great options and portions! Highly Recommended!“

“Highly recommend blue pit! They just did bbq and mac n cheese for an engagement party I helped host and it was absolutely delicious! Cara was beyond helpful and accommodated our needs and was very responsive! It was amazing and we will definitely be using them again!! Thank you!“

“First time visiting here. Halal BBQ is a relatively new concept around here and wanted them ncheck it out. Ordered two Halal Beef Brisket sandwich combos with french fries and a canned soft drink each, a Halal Bacon and Brisket combo sandwich with curly fries and can of coke, Mozzarella cheese sticks combo and a chicken tender serving. Overall the family enjoyed the food, my beef bacon was over cooked and the strips of beef brisket were thin slivers of meat with a barely discernable flavor coated with copious amounts of BBQ sauce. First impression was so-so, for me. Seating was barely adequate with people standing over your head to order. It was night time and rainy sonif they have outdoor seating, it was not part of the equation tonight. I will definitely visit again as I like to support small upcoming businesses and I like the concept of contemporary American food for those who prefer to eat Halal.“

“Tired the food yesterday for the first time it's really good“

“I got the combo and 2nd combo is 1/2 price. a pit beef sandwich with potato salad (which was great- I'm picky about potato salad) and a pit ham with cornbread. both sandwiches were soft & tender. the tiger sauce was perfect. The staff behind the counter were helpful & friendly“

“Close to home! Soothes the islanders homesick soul…..“

“I recently hosted a party at my house to celebrate the end of our card season. Some members of our card league wanted to go to a fancy restaurant, but most were happy with the idea of a house party. I ordered pulled pork, brisket, and smoked turkey from Weiland’s and the food was great. The attendees raved about each selection, and the total cost came to less than $15.00 a person. We could not have gone to a restaurant for that amount. Highly recommend!“

“Great food at a great value. I am an instant fan.“

“Food is great, showed up on time to have everything heated before the guests came, they supply everything you need.“

“A massive thank you to Bare Bones for catering our Homecoming event! They were an absolutely huge help and made the entire food preparation process so incredibly easy for our committee. Everything was organized, delivered perfectly, and most importantly, delicious! Their efficiency and professionalism truly allowed us to focus on the event itself. We highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and delicious catering!“

“Love the food here, always fresh, friendly and clean! I come at least once a week. Bring your friends for lunch or dinner, you won't regret it!“

“I sent my friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The the cooking is appetizing and the stuff is welcoming and cooperative. Every time we go to this place we enjoy a gorgeous evening. I warmly recommend this restaurant.“

“Went to visit my relatives and we decided to go out for lunch. I asked where is a good cheesesteak joint? My cousin took me here. Definitely a go to for the future & much better than any cheesesteak I had in Philly. I got the fish steak to go. I’m not sure what kind of fish it was but I almost bit my finger off just sneaking a taste. Will be reheating to have with my morning grits. There is paid parking just across the street so this is an easy run for me.“

“Great Carolina style pulled pork and delicious sides. Highly recommend!“

“Had the chicken biryani. When I asked for extra spicy, they asked me if I was sure twice. That's when I knew I was at the right spot, and got excited. Bc I wasn't planning to eat here, just happened to walk by. And I walked away happy and satisfied with life.“

From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“We were six “ladies of a certain age”…a little rowdy and undecided. We were having lunch. Jeff, our server, was just the right mix of courtesy, humor, patience and accuracy. The portions were larger than expected. Wonderful dining experience!“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“I’ve loved Super Fried Chicken since I was a kid. It’s been great ever since then. Personally, never had any bad batch of anything I’ve ordered. Since the new Lexington Market, the food hasn’t changed. Happy to see the same owners and workers are there. Always a 5/5 with me!“

“We stopped by for Thai food but noticed an abundance of Korean restaurants in the mall. After a quick Google Maps check, we chose this one—and it did not disappoint! The authenticity was evident, with all the staff being Korean and only a few speaking English.

The food was excellent for the price. We ordered the special combination for two, which was more than enough for three—my husband, teen son, and me. The highlight was the thick pork belly: it looked greasy at first, but once grilled and cut into bite-sized pieces, it was incredible. The fat rendered out, leaving the meat perfectly crispy and chewy.

The two men also shared a seafood pancake, while I was already satisfied with the small dishes—like the steamed egg and soup—that came with the meal.“

“The location is definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of place but the food is really good and well priced. The lady that makes plates knows how to fill a plate so you will be eating for days. I’ve had great service thus far. People really like the yams, Mac and cheese, pork chop, collard greens, cabbage, watermelon, potato salad, and wings.“

“Best Pakistani food in the dmv, highly recommended“
