Formerly Martins, the Virginia BBQ, made across the board improvements to the space and food. The BBQ is heavenly as are the sides. The Owner is creative with his offerings and mixes up a vast array of delicious BBQ sauces. The side dishes are fabulous too. My favorite is the brisket sandwich. Not to be missed!

Got a double burger, which both patties together didn’t really add up to one good burger the macaroni and cheese tasted like it came out of a can the potato salad way too much mustard and one thing for sure. I’m not a picky eater, but the food was nothing like the photo Won’t be going back.

Food is tasty. I would go back again.
I was disgusted watching the owner handle the raw meat with his bare hands. I sat there for 15 minutes and he went from food to food, plate to plate, utensils to cookware with no gloves, no handwashing and no sense of hygiene.

Small portions, overcooked, greasy fat smothered brisket, cold cornbread wrapped in cellophane and a right out of the bag slice of room temperature Texas toast. Just what nobody wants to pay $46 for.

Horrible. Dry BBQ sand. Didn't come with ANY sauce. NO slaw on it. Mac n Cheese was BAD. Cornbread was a BRICK. My first time here- I will not return. Can't believe they are serving this.

This place is SERIOUS!!! The food is expertly made and you can really tell they know what they're doing. I had the Italian Beef and potato salad—both excellent. I tasted my friend's Baked beans and Mac n' Cheese and they were also great. Good prices, too.
When it comes to good bbq there are many factors related to both mastery of technique and artistic ability to make unique flavors as well. VA bbq co is the most technically perfect bbq I have ever had. Everything they do exemplifies perfection of technique and at their worst day they are better than most. They don't rely on electric smokers which make it so even a whiskey laden napper can make good brisket. However the difference between good and exceptional (besides 7 letters) takes immense talent. To stand out in an industry laden with good bbq requires being simply fantastic. Every person I have referred has agreed. The bbq sauce is wonderful and made in house as all sauce should be, however their bbq absolutely requires no sauce. Come here and expect just a little boost of magic in a dark world.

Kind of pricey. Burger was underwhelming - bun was soggy, tomato was stringy and lettuce was wilted. Side of onion rings is $4 which is crazy for 5 onion rings. My husband’s lone star was good but had a lot of fat on it. Potato salad was bland - needed more mayo and salt.

Excellent food. I thought the servings would be smaller than they ended up, silly me. I ordered a side of fries with my brisket sandwich. The sandwich was excellent. Feies were good, but I couldn't finish them because I filled up on sandwich.

The bratwurst and homemade sauerkraut was awesome! Friendly and fun. Only complaint was that the baked beans could use another hour. A little crunchy.

My family wanted to check out this very nice place to eat an early dinner. My parents both ordered the pulled BBQ pork sandwich and I orders the smoker wings and the only thing I have to say was that I wished the wings were a little less dry, but over all it was an amazing place to get BBQ!

Really disappointing experience. The food wasn’t great, the restaurant wasn’t clean, service is nonexistent, and it is way overpriced. Save your money.
