Delta Blues BBQ - Abingdon

11/5 4:30 pm . Disappointing. brisket plate was ordered. The meat was cold and dried out, cold fries and baked beans were barely warm. My husband and I have never had an issue with the price of a meal if the quality matches it. This meal didn't.

Above average bbq but not top tier. Portions could be better. Most would really like it.

Great local BBQ place and very reasonably priced. I have had better BBQ but this was good and there are so many sides options that it makes it difficult to choose. The nachos were good and the fried okra was great!

Delta Blues BBQ – Abingdon, VA
⭐️⭐️ (2 out of 5 stars)

We stopped in for an early dinner and ordered the brisket tray and burnt ends. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. The brisket was dry and lacked flavor, and the burnt ends—while covered in sauce—were just as tough and unappealing. After eating, both my wife and I felt nauseous, which was especially concerning since we’ve eaten here before and it was fine in the past. Not sure what went wrong this time, but the quality and overall experience were definitely not up to expectations.

We had high hopes for this place after reading previous reviews. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. The sides were ok, but the meat portions were very skimpy. Very small piece of brisket that was half fat. Never again!

Called earlier to order a pork party platter and two pounds of brisket. I asked if I should place order then or call later. Was told to call at 6 pm, we called at 5:15 both locations and were told they couldn’t take the order. This was for someone’s birthday and now it’s very upsetting it couldn’t be fulfilled.

The fries were hot, the meat was room temperature. Everything had good flavoring. I will go back.

Food was great but small portions. I had the brisket tacos which came with sour cream and pico. This dish would be even better with a small portion of pickled slaw as a topping also. My husband had pulled pork barbecue sandwich which would have passed for a kids sandwich. Overall our experience was good. Will go back again.

Part One: Generally, Love Delta Blues. Think tonight was just an off night for them. Ordered two Memphis burgers one with chip fries, the other regular fries with Cajun seasoning. Ended up with regular fries on both platters. Not a big deal and both sets of fries tasted great! Still, I went back up to the counter and ordered chip fries for no other reason than I just really wanted them. Cashier offered to fix my order, but since I was munching on both orders of fries already, I didn't care to pay for what I wanted.
Part 2: Food tasted Great...but I will say the bun on one of the burgers, at least the entire outer rim or edge of the bun, was as hard as a brick and totally inedible. Had to break off most of the bun. Not the end of the world, but still. The other burger bun was stiff, but not a brick. I was hungry and it got eaten, so I forfeit being picky on that one. When I finally got my chip fries, roughly 1/2 were broken down little pieces of overcooked leftover flakes of chips that I didn't even bother with. A waste of money and a letdown.
Part 3: Had a to go order. 10 chicken wings and fries. Took it to a family member. She bit into the first piece of chicken and never went back for a second bite. Chicken can have dried blood or a vein at times, no big deal. But there was a substantial amount of red on the meat, much more than would be considered normal. Looked like the outside was flash baked but inside not done well enough. She tore apart 3 more wings and they looked the same. She ended up eating the fries for dinner (which were good) but wouldn't touch the wings.
Again, Love Delta Blues and the atmosphere, staff and generally the food. This experience was abnormal. We will try them again at some point down the road. However, this visit was sadly a disappointment.
