35 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Falls Church

“Muy excelente lugar nos encanta venir y compartir con la familia su atención es más que excelente servicio completamente recomendado“

“We’ve eaten at The Falls for both date nights and family outings and were extremely impressed every time. I was excited to hear they also do catering! We called The Falls, spoke to Kelly and she was super helpful, communicative and helped with everything from how much food would be appropriate for our size event and how many staff would be recommended. We had our annual Santa party with 190 people and everyone was super impressed with the food quality, the attentive staff and how friendly and courteous they were. They left my house cleaner than before the party and even boxed up some left overs for us to enjoy. They’re a true blessing and made our party one we’ll remember for years! Thank You- to Kelly and Mark and the entire Falls crew!“

“The service was great and the food was even better!! Great place to go with family or friends! Love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend for all! The service you get there is exceptional!!“

“Used to be one my favorite places for Korean bbq, and was high on my list of places to recommend to others, but with each visit I have noticed the portion size getting smaller. I feel like the price to meat ratio now is becoming a bit unfair (at least for me). Hence, 4 stars.“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both a casual meal and a special occasion.

The menu features a wide variety of expertly cooked steaks, each seasoned to perfection. The Ribeye is particularly noteworthy, boasting incredible marbling and flavor. The sides, like mashed potato and crispy Brussels sprouts, complement the main dishes beautifully.

Service is another standout aspect; the staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that every need is met promptly. The drink selection, including a robust wine list, adds to the overall experience

LongHorn Steakhouse truly delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent Wings! Drove in from Ashburn. 5 Stars!“

“Delicious and lovely atmosphere.“

“Enjoyed my meal tonight. Friendly and superb service from David!“

“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.“

“The employees were very helpful and courteous; Yoseph, two thumbs up! Thanks for your help and your professional manners! I'll definitely be back!“

“Went for lunch and of course anything Ralph has a part of is great. Very reasonable prices, lots to choose from and great service. Go and see for yourself!“

“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“I came to Arlington for a business trip from Atlanta. I've been to the Ballston Food Court several times since I visit frequently. First time at Hal & Als and I ordered the brisket sandwich. the cashier who I assume is the owner was telling me about who he learned to make ribs from down in Atlanta. he was so hospitable too. he asked me to let him know what I thought. I completely forgot. everything was great. halal BBQ is a little different but it blew me away. I'll def revisit when I'm in Arlington again.“

“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.“

“Great food and beer. Awesome service“

“My favorite BBQ in Arlington and Alexandria.“

“Karen was an awesome server and the food was delicious. A+!“

“Little gem around. It was recommended by a friend... he said it is the best burger place around. The burgers are great, but the atmosphere, vibe, staff and menu are outstanding. 100% family friendly place (including budget!). We want to come back to try the BBQ plates!“

“Sloppy Mama’s catered an event for me and everyone talked about how delicious the food was. Several guests said they will be visiting the restaurant soon!“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“We are from Buffalo NY down here on vacation. The host was absolutely amazing we sat at a high top by the bar and he came over and offered to move us to a bigger table so we had more room!! The bartender was our server and he was so attentive and on top of everything. They had a large school party that had about 50 people in it and they did not let that slow them down at all. At the end of that party we ended up speaking with one of the owners and he was so nice! We ended up finding out the host had family from where we are from and that was awesome! The food was amazing, portions were huge! Moral of the story the whole staff was amazing the food came out with perfect timing even with the huge party. Pricing, food, friendliness all worth it here they were amazing“

“Really good and different! Had the short-rib pastrami and it was fantastic!! Great taste, perfect texture, and the mustard sauce was the perfect compliment. Their house pickled veggies added a really nice touch. The deviled eggs are not to be missed! Smoky, but not overbearingly so. The wife had the pastrami spiced portobello and was very impressed. Guys in the truck were super nice and very patient. They were out front of Baby Cat brewery in Kensington the day we went by. Will be keeping track of where they're going to be - will definitely return!!“

“Amazing atmosphere - service needs a little work. I think this place is heavily understaffed so we did have to wait a decent amount of time for food/drinks and our bill. Two other things that would help improve my rating would be to include dietary restrictions on the menu (especially Gluten Free) and to be able to split checks properly. There was six of us and we asked to split our check between the three couples but the waiter straight up shut us down (didn’t even try). With these improvements, this place would definitely deserve a 5 star rating.“

“the ribs had that fresh out the smoke test.this was the first time I have had their food👍👍👍. My friends were impressed too.“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“Ordered the BBQ chicken with burnt ends and cheddar biscuits over DD. I got an incredible amount of food for my money (especially for a BBQ joint in DC), and everything was absolutely incredible!! Breads and meats so flavorful and perfect. So so pleased! Over 5/5 stars!“

“Wow 🤩 We had a great lunch in this magnificent restaurant. Thanks to the staff, very helpful and nice“

“I had the brisket, ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. The brisket practically melts and was so delicious. The ribs were great too. Tried several of the sauces. I like the mustard & the origins sauce best. Meal was big enough to ask for a doggie bag to finish it later on.“

“Husband and I both got 2 meat platter because we wanted leftovers. It’s enough food for 3 meals easy. Everything was delicious!! My favorites were the brisket, cucumber salad and cornbread. Donna’s got it going on cause her food is full of flavor!!“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“We dined on a Saturday, which was very busy, as the space is not too large. The main lesson learned is the Diamond level is not worth it, though the food is all quite good. Even if you go with a larger group/ long table, you still only have one grill. This makes it very challenging to cook and feed efficiently, especially with the seafood that takes longer to cook in conjunction with the times seating of 90 minutes. Again, the food was very good across the board, from apps to the me at quality to sides, to dessert. However, we were in a panicked rush the entire meal trying to cook our food. Didn't catch our server's name but she was very pleasant and nice, inefficient in bringing our food and checking in on us. Would come again but for a lower tier.
Plenty of street parking around the restaurant.“

“Outstanding dinning experience! We’ve been to and have had Korean BBQ, but NOTHING compares to this! The quality of food, knowledgeable staff, creative cocktails and atmosphere are what make this restaurant well worth the visit. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING! I’ve never enjoyed a restaurant more that Gyu-shige! AAA+ We will be back!“

“I recently visited Makchang Dodok K-BBQ, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They made us feel right at home, walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions for first-timers. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests.

The service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Our server kept checking in to make sure everything was cooked to our liking and that our drinks and side dishes were always full. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team at a busy restaurant, and they truly stood out.

As for the food—delicious! The meats were fresh and flavorful, and the signature makchang (beef or pork intestine) was perfectly prepared with that satisfying char. If you’re a fan of authentic Korean BBQ, this place delivers both in taste and atmosphere.

Highly recommend for a casual night out, a group dinner, or anyone looking to try something new with excellent service to match. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Got the chicken and rib combo . the chicken was super tender and moist, and the ribs were meaty and tender as well . It was very good and the gentlemen that I picked up the food from , was very nice and friendly. and the place looked beautiful on the inside . I must go and have a sit down. thanks for a great meal !“

“We stopped for lunch yesterday after leaving the zoo. The aroma when we opened the door hooked us from the start. Our waiter, Courtland, was amazing and took excellent care of us. His recommendations were spot on. The food came out hot, fast and delicious. I have no idea when I’ll be back in DC again, but I know where I’ll want to eat when I am.“
