“Our first visit here will NOT be our last. It was Saturday, and beef ribs were on the menu! It was juicy tender with the right amount of smoke and spices. My wife and I sampled several different sides, the pulled pork, and the brisket sandwich. The owners aim to please and they did! Please support this local, family-owned business. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My husband and I had Mission BBQ Fredericksburg cater our wedding in July 2025. They took such great care of us! First off, the consultation was one of the highlights of our entire time wedding planning since my husband and I are big foodies. It was absolutely amazing - they had us try everything on their Black Tie menu!

They were very communicative and flexible throughout the process. The did a great job decorating their tables and the bar at the venue and they brought more than enough food to the wedding. They even packed a separate to-go bag for my husband and I and that fed us for a few days after the wedding - which was so nice!! They even gave us a thank you card. 🥺

10/10 highly recommend for catering (& for regular dining, too!).“

“A great place to get out and make memories with your family/kids.“

“Food is plentiful and delicious. Servers are really nice and bring the food to you quickly. If I could please make two suggestion: 1. Not sure how other customers feel, the heavy duty napkins are nice but we like the napkin dispenser on the table, that way we have the amount of napkins we need to keep our hands clean eating their nice big bar-b-cue sandwich?; 2. it also would help if you used a duplicate order pads (one copy at the cash register and one for the customer so the server can bring the check to the customer so they can see what they owe ahead of time and also makes the customer aware the servers shift might be ending ..r know the servers can see what they owe before they get to the register, it also would help the customer know the server’s shift is almost over. Unfortunately we missed giving our server her tip two times because B f“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. Drove from Pittsburgh for dinner any was not disappointed!“

“Six of us were at the Northern Neck Beach Music Festival in Colonial Beach on 9/10/2022. All of us had your barbeque sandwich and agreed how tender the port was and it had the best taste with the seasoning used for the cooking and it was delicious with or without the barbeque sauce. Looking forward to eating at you place and hope you will vendor again at the Northern Kneck Beach Festival for 2023. Thank you for being there.“

“I just found out about Dickey’s when I moved to Va, I heard that this location had just opened back up recently and we figured we would try them out. This is the Second or Third time Ferber’s Tire and Auto had used them for our Friday lunch. The food is always on point, the young ladies do a great job of greeting you on the phone, taking your order and serving it up when you arrive. Food is always piping hot and full of juicy flavor. The love how you can choose between the different sauces depending upon your mood. James and his crew do an excellent job and we will sure be coming back for more BBQ. Thanks again for the hospitality and the Great Food!“

“My husband and I went for dinner on 3/31/22 Our server was Vironique. It was the best service we have had in a long time. The food was piping hot which is always an issue with me since I was in the service industry for years. Totally recommend this place!!!“

“Food is awesome and the service staff is very friendly.“

“Crave Hot Dogs and BBQ Food Truck was our food vendor for my dad’s retirement party at Barley Naked this past weekend and we could not recommend them enough! The overall service was excellent, from speed of getting orders out to customers and friendly attitudes of the staff. Food was DELICIOUS. Would absolutely recommend for any event or just to grab a bite to eat. 🤩“

“J Brian’s has great food, knowledgeable and attentive staff, and super awesome specials. Trivia nights on Mondays at 8 and the live concerts are always a blast too. Can’t recommend it enough- Stop by and give it a try!“

“Love the taco truck and love the restaurant inside, everything is so good and folks are sweet to this freakishly tall gringo. Easier to order if you know some Spanish but so tasty it’s worth stumbling through the awkward exchanges with my high school Spanish.“

“Big Moma is the best server! what a great dinner and experience!“
