I really wanted to like this place after hearing good things, but our experience was rough from start to finish.
I placed an Uber Eats order for a spicy chicken sandwich, a 1/2 rack of ribs, and chicken wings. The app said the order would be ready at 6:58 PM. I walked in exactly at that time and the app even showed it was ready… but it definitely wasn’t.
When I walked in, the guy behind the bar yelled over to me that pickup was “down the hallway.” I went back,...read full review

Vision BBQ & Catering offers a distinctive barbecue experience focused on savory flavors rather than sweetness. Their dishes highlight a tangy, vinegary taste, with meats like brisket and chicken smoked on-site to stay juicy and flavorful. The brisket is highly praised, falling off the fork with a juicy, tasty flavor. Guests can enjoy sandwiches piled high with pulled pork, complemented by homemade pickles and in-house sauces. The steak and cheese is described as superb, and the wings are considered some of the best ever. Sides such as coleslaw, mac n' cheese, and baked beans are made with smoked meat and do not overpower with sweetness. Their cornbread stands out, thanks to eggs that add extra moisture. The restaurant also offers pimento cheese and sandwich combos, adding variety to the menu. Visitors note quick service, friendly staff, and portions that satisfy, often enough for leftovers. The outside area sometimes features live music, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Many customers mention the food being hot, delicious, and filling. The gluten-free bun has been praised as tasting almost too good to be true. One customer shared a story of a delivery mishap where the staff went above and beyond by replacing the stolen food and refusing to accept payment, showing the caring and honest nature of the team. With its fresh, flavorful food, friendly service, and reasonable prices, it remains a must-visit spot for barbecue lovers. Recent reviews highlight wonderful take-out options, especially the brisket burnt ends, ribs, and baked beans, though some customers wish for larger portions of sides for the price. The breaded catfish is perfectly cooked—soft inside with a crispy coating—and the baby back ribs are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Despite some slow service, the overall experience continues to impress, confirming Vision BBQ as one of the best barbecue spots in Charlottesville.
