Meh it's underwhelming... ordered bbq sandwiches as take away and the bbq was dry and the burns were scorched earth burnt... my husband has gone in and had the brisket tacos and said he liked them but we probably won't ever order from here again

Great find. The food was fantastic! They had seasonal asparagus, which I had to try,good choice. Ice tea was good,not too sweet,bitter or watered down as I'm finding at a lot of placed. I ordered Birria Tacos,3 braised brisket tacos, cheese and corn tortillas, consomme, salsas. Very tasty. Also tried Pork Belly for my first time as well,good stuff.Definitely will return.

Very unwelcoming hostess on Saturday afternoon. A big group stopped by and the hostess was upset we didn't call ahead. We were willing to split up at tables and there were plenty available. She was very irritated by us being there. Luckily the food and drinks were great, and our servers were VERY accommodating. Just wish the hostess could have been more welcoming and hospitable.

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Their smoked meats are on point and the sides are all freshly made. Locally sourced food. The beer selection is ever changing with a great variety.

Small but mighty with a killer menu of BBQ. And even BBQd Jackfruit! Ribs, pulled pork, sausage, brisket. It's a non descript tidy ex-service station. There IS outdoor seating but not windy/rainy today overlooking Happy Run (creek). Draft beers and cider. The sides are very good and smokey-tasty. I had jackfruit tacos. Sides of beans and slaw were super. My companion had the tater tot crater (pork belly, brisket, polish sausage, beer cheese, cheddar cheese, bbq sauce, queso fresca, green onion) and polished that off. We got a half pound each of brisket and pork belly to go for "dessert" back home. Service was good and local families were in having a good time. It's not big and fancy but airy and very clean. A must do in Front Royal.

Pavemint is absolutely delicious and in a really cute, unique spot, plus a pretty creative menu. We are actually DC locals but try to stop here every time we take a road trip to Virginia. We enjoy the outdoor seating. Of course their BBQ is great but also their amazing polenta fries as well as the Brussels sprouts that I believe were available seasonally? Please bring them back!

Our go to place when we visit Front Royal. Great food, beers, and environment.

Worst Rueben I've ever had. Nothing but chewy fat and hard meat. It came with no sides without mention of that during ordering. Cornbread was hard, dry and cold. Service was ok but not great. Beer was good.

The brisket was amazing!!!! We loved it. The beers were okay but the food was awesome. The mac n cheese, coleslaw, fries and pickles sides were good. The pulled pork was okay but the sauce that came with it amazing.
