“I don't live in the area but I work at Henrico school... I pass this place all the time and thinking about stopping in. I thought I would ask and see what the response is. I dislike chain restaurants but love to support locally. Let me know why I should stop by and what should I try on the menu? Looking forward to hearing from you soon ???????????????“
“Service here was excellent. We were seating within 5 minutes and our server was amazing. We had no issues with the food, establishment, nor service. We absolutely love the bread here. I had the pork chop and it was nice and tender packed with flavor. My husband had the salmon and loved it.“
“Okay, I’m biased because I love longhorn. It’s always delicious! But our waitress was Laurie (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and she was SO exceptionally nice!!! The sweetest, we really enjoyed her and she made sure she checked on us plenty of times. Make sure y’all keep her forever! She is awesome, seriously.“
“I contacted Deep Run with a last minute request to cater for 130 people. They surpassed my expectations. I cannot thank you all enough. The food was amazing. Potato salad, mac/chz, BBQ, wings… all of it was delicious. And whoever answered the phone was helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I highly recommend. If you need catering or are just looking for some really good food… go! Thanks again Deep Run. Y’all delivered.“
“Probably the best brisket in the city. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Pairs up perfectly with any of the homemade BBQ sauces. Unforbidden Fruit BBQ sauce sweetened with apples is unique and is definitely a prize winning sauce.Burnt Ends were also very good. No sauce needed on those.More of a take out atmosphere, but there is some seating inside and a few tables outside. Worth staying on site to eat your food fresh and hot off the chopping block. Highly recommended when you need to get your BBQ fix.“
“I recently organized a couple of catering orders from The Smoky Mug, and it was an exceptional experience, largely thanks to Dan’s superb accommodations and friendliness. The catering itself exceeded expectations. I highly recommend The Smoky Mug for their top notch BBQ, and kudos to Dan for making our events a resounding success!“
“We live and work in the Brookland Park Neighborhood and love BPK's accessibility, friendly atmosphere, well balanced menu and service. Not only have we dining multiple times, recently I was in a pinch for a cocktail party and found relief. At the very last minute I was able to place a catering order for three signature dishes and they were all crowd favorites! If you live in the neighborhood do yourself a favor and check them out. It's the place to bring your out of town guests and impress them with our neighborhoods offerings!“
“Easily the best BBQ I’ve had in quite some time. The brisket was melt in your mouth and the sauces (I tried all of them) complimented the meat so well. Can’t wait to go back and try the ribs. The table next to us ordered them and said they were top notch. We also had a large group with 6 children under 6 yo and ate in their dining room. Owner and staff took great care of us. We will 1000% be returning. Thank you!“
“The food is good, but they always seem to have a significant line. I've been to plenty of awesome barbecue restaurants in particular, and just restaurants in general that didn't require a significant investment of time to get food.“
“When I had an issue at this location they promptly resolved it and that speaks volumes. Customer service means a lot. I was able to return and have an amazing meal. The staff was fun and energetic and I appreciated that a lot even when the night was slowing down!“
“Feel compelled to write a review as we’re leaving after a quick, huge Friday night meal. Our family loves this place, and my 8 and 10 yo boys are always begging to go to eat their weight in ribs. Such kind, quick service, and huge portions. We’ll be back soon!!“
“First time visiting Big Whiskey. So I didn't get the servers' or owners' names. But we sat at the bar, and our server was knowledgeable about their drink offerings . The food was excellent, and you could smell and taste the smokey flavor in the meats, which is rare these days. I will definitely return.“
“Had a great family dinner at the HotSpot 757. It was a very diffirent and unique way to spend a special night. The restaurant offers two ways to cook your food. One is using a hot plate to boil soup that you add a variety of different meats, vegetables and dumplings. The type of soup I ordered was Chinese Szechuan. Although it tasted awesome it was really hot. I’ve been eating Szechuan for years and never experienced a hot version like this one. You can also cook raw meat to you choosing on the center piece table grill. I ordered the spicy pork and beef and both were delicious. There is also fresh fruit and different sauces located in the center of the restaurant for you to enjoy.“
“Great customer service. The food came out hot and fast. The hush puppies were good. The pulled chicken was bland (not smoked or grilled long enough, maybe idk). The chicken was tender and just needed some flavor. They have a variety of bbq sauces on the table, but they all tasted the same to me. I also tried the corn pudding since that is a side you don't usually see, and it's one of my favorites, but it was like a fluffy custard, not the usual sweet and creamy taste when home made. I substituted that side for fries, and they were a better choice. I will go back to try the wings.“
