Willard's Real Pit BBQ

A favorite for 22 years! Smoked meat loaf...Mr Willards Turkey you name it! Best mashed potatoes ANYWHERE.

I personally didn't eat here. My husband, who is a Willard, was in the area for work and I stumbled upon this gem of a place for him. He loved the food so much I can't recall how many times I door dashed from them for him. Thank yall so much for cooking for my husband so many nights. He loved it!!!

Outstanding BBQ and Service Every Time!

Willard’s BBQ never disappoints! The service is always fast and friendly, making it a smooth and enjoyable experience from the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely delicious — rich, smoky flavors and everything cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are generous, especially for the price, which makes it a fantastic value. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, Willard’s consistently delivers top-notch BBQ. Highly recommend!

I have been a consistent visitor to this restaurant since 2011 and think this is one of the top BBQ joints in NOVA. The cashier, Joselyn was friendly, helpful and a nice smile. I typically order their 2 item combo with burnt ends and sausage. I also love their ribs too and ordered 1/3 slab (4 bones) because they're falling off the bone and tasty. Their gold sauce and hot Xxx sauces are muy caliente and are a must but not a big fan of bathing my que with sauces.

I also make the trip from Tysons and have visited their Reston location but think the Chantilly location is superior because of the staff, ambiance and location. Bonus: I have also eaten at their sister location in Newton, MA called Blue Ribbon BBQ.

Great bbq spot. Quick service

Wonderful

I gave it another try.
Still underwhelmed but it's not bad. A few more options would be good, offer more sauces, etc..

Delicious!

Willards is a five star joint all around. The classics here are the cornbread, the sweet tea/lemonade, and of course the ribs. They always are generous and give you more than expected. Again, FIVE STARS!

Ordered $160 dollars worth of food on Saturday all the meat was awful! This was my first time there! Will never return

We did a take out for bulk sliced brisket. When we opened it at home, it was mostly sliced of fat pieces and a lot of oil in the container. I am very disappointed as I usually get this for my kid.

Sooo good brisket sandwich

Good food but what is up with the grumpy staff? Every-time I visit I get an attitude from the person taking the order. It is like they do not want to be there. Menu board is a confusing mess and they have no patience with their customers. The BBQ is worth the visit though...
