Great local bbq place. Offers your standard bbq options. Portions are a good size. Meats are always well cooked with a lot of bbq flavor and very dry.

Amazing bbq, smoked to perfection 👌 **New Updat** Today 10/31/2025 Hands down the best pastrami sandwich on earth! 🥪🔥 Tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor in every bite. You can taste the love and craft in every layer of meat and bread. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out!

I ordered 2 platters, brisket, and pork Mac n cheese, collard greens and baked beans. The food was not seasoned well at all and the brisket and the pork was dry as can be! No BBQ sauce came with our order at all. The collard greens was not seasoned. The food was definitely not worth the price! The only thing that was good was the baked beans! Very disappointed!

I just picked up and order for a beef brisket sandwich and it was literally 2 very thin slices of brisket. I have had brisket sandwich before and I know it’s never been like this. Shrinkflation has officially hit this place starting to cheat their customers.
I would not recommend this place anymore you are better off going to other bbq places in the area.
Great bbq. Chicken is so tender and juicy. Brisket is very tasty. They have pastrami too but only on the weekends. This is must eat bbq place

Just went and had Hammerdown bbq.... and to be honest a needed a hammer to get it down. Aside from the banana pudding it wasn't good at all. I don't leave reviews ever but I felt i needed to warn society.... but don't take my word for it.... just try the green beans. Great customer service if that's what i was paying for.... you've been warned.

Best smoked chicken sandwich in Virginia. Come here every year after Oatlands Plantation Cross Country Invitational. If I didn’t live far from here I would eat here at least once per week.

I was afraid this business would be forced to close or relocate because of the new traffic circle, but fortunately they only lost a small portion of their parking lot. Had lunch here today and it was as good as always. Two meat platter with two sides and it filled me up.
Great food at a good price good staff
