9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lothian

“I had a wonderful experience at Porky’s BBQ. My wife and I were hosting our family for a Memorial weekend gathering and we did not want to cook, so we called Porky's. The ribs were tender and juicy, the pulled pork was flavorful and moist, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They made sure my catering order was right-sized, and hot when it was picked up. The portions were generous and the sauces were delicious. I highly recommend Porky’s BBQ for anyone looking for authentic North Carolina BBQ in Southern Maryland, and beyond!“

“The Pit Beef is THE BESTin the area, unlike others it is moist, not dried out, flavourful, and the portion is more than filling. The fries ROCK. The steak and cheese has no equals! Try The Pit,“

“B.E. Barbecue Everything is exactly the kind of small business that keeps a community alive and fed in all the right ways.

I stumbled across this spot and ended up finding what I can only describe as a true hidden gem. I ordered the chopped pulled pork barbecue sandwich with mac and cheese, and I’m still thinking about it hours later. I’m a native of North Carolina, so I’m no stranger to good barbecue, but this was the best pulled pork I’ve had in decades, and I say that with my full chest. The meat was tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the smoke flavor hit that rare sweet spot between bold and balanced. The mac and cheese was the perfect comfort-food side: rich, creamy, and clearly made with care, not out of a box.

What really stuck with me, though, was the experience. I watched the grill master pull hot, fresh pork ribs straight off the grill, and the aroma that filled the air actually hit me with a wave of nostalgia. For a moment, I was right back at family cookouts in North Carolina — that’s how powerful that smell and flavor combo was. It wasn’t just food; it was memory.

As someone running for Congress, I talk a lot about how vital small businesses are to our local economy. B.E. Barbecue Everything is exactly what I’m talking about; a hardworking local owner, real craft on the grill, and a product that keeps people coming back. After one visit, they’ve earned a customer for life. And if my political career pans out, D.C. (Dennis, the owner) will always have my business.

Don’t just take my word for it — go try it yourself. Support a fantastic small business, treat yourself to some top-tier barbecue, and thank me later.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 5 – flawless.“
