31 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Richmond

“DRR catered our wedding on 6/8/24. They were punctual, professional, and knew what they were doing! I had a stress free day with them at my wedding! The bartender was also incredibly personable! She had even took time to visit my wedding website so she knew what to expect. I was shocked (in a positive way!) it truly shows just how dedicated they are to their customers. From the taste testing to the day of, we couldn’t have asked for better people to work with! We also received lots of compliments on how well the food tasted!! Their sweet potatoes are to die for, but seriously, all of their food is delicious!! Stop here for your BBQ wedding menu!!“

“Best beef brisket I’ve ever eaten in my life. I wish they had different side options. Didn’t like a single one. If they don’t want to make fries, then offer bags of chips. Not everyone likes spicy sides. That was my only disappointment. But man … that brisket was the BEST!“

“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!“

“Excellent stop for our lunch. Brisket was incredible. Creamy max & cheese was delicious. Will definitely stop again!“

“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!“

“The new country breakfast menu is amazing!!!! The “totchos” were my perfect meal come to life! 12/10 recommend!!!“

“what a great restaurant, and very friendly staff. after driving for 12 hours, my son and I walked in at 8:45 (9pm closing). we ordered ribs, one with fries, one with mac n cheese. the food and service was excellent, definitely recommend this restaurant. would love to come back to try other items on the menu, some were understandably sold out when we came in.“

“10/10 recommend the Frontier!“

“Knowledgable staff, amazing food and atmosphere!“

“Rack of ribs was very tender, very juicy. I totally recommend. I tried the Birmie’s bbq sauce on the ribs. You can literally taste every ingredient in the sauce, it was pretty perfect. They also have Carolina vinegar, spicy bbq, bama white and habanero hot sauces. They also offer single sandwiches, single burritos, sandwich and burrito meals, platter meals, appetizers and sides. Their prices are fair and competitive. I was lucky enough to win their first Facebook contest but all opinions are my own. I definitely plan on trying more of their menu items. They were such nice people to talk to and I was glad for the opportunity, plus they cater!“

“Went here yesterday while in Richmond and I ended up with the Big Boner. 😂 Honestly there was a 40 minute wait but it was prime dinner time. Definitely worth the wait and our waiter was super great. Food was phenomenal.“

“Food was delicious! Nice sized portions. Service was fast and friendly! Will definitely be back!“

“I’ve been 5 times to Hot Pot 757 Midlothian and it never disappoints. Most recently celebrated my husband’s birthday! The staff was so very attentive, plenty of food to choose from and upon ordering food would arrive table side in moments of ordering. And if you let them know it’s a birthday, the robot will sing to the birthday person!“

“Absolutely fantastic food so good it should be illegal. Victoria our server recommended all the best things and didn't steer us wrong 100% amazing service and a very down to earth cool lady just a real doll. I will absolutely be back we took food to go we were so impressed. I hope Bobby Flay cried when he lost.“

“Walked at Chesterfield Towne Center today due to the rain. What a great mall and Honolulu BBQ, oh my, was amazing! Had the steamed veggies with bourbon chicken, delicious! And more than enough food, with a drink, under $9!

Kid-friendliness: Lots of young parents and small kiddos in the mall and food court.“

“I would like to say that my experience at Hawks BBQ At South Side plaza was amazing. I was greeted with the most beautiful smile by Mrs. Queen. The food was on point and the vibe was soothing with the great old school music that played. I ordered a pig feet dinner with potato salad and collared greens and everything was great,“

“Great food, friendly staff. Can't beat them“

“Best brisket and ribs I have had since moving to Richmond. Tender and juicy, and I even enjoyed the sauce. And I like that you can taste the smoke, not just smell it (it's a Chicago thing). I loved the Texas caviar. And the cornbread...OMG.❤ My go-to for BBQ here now, and it's less than 5 minutes from my house. Definitely recommend.“

“Listen, my people. I was born and raised in The Bronx. Having said that, I had the best Hush Puppy, I mean THE BEST, since my mama's. Now I can tell you the fish was delicious and my slaw was perfect. But that slice of fresh strawberry cake.....
Heaven.
I highly recommend you try visiting!“

“Yes, please try the Brisket parfait. It's one of a kind!“

“The Catfish melts in your mouth. The Pork Chops are tender and juicy smothered in gravy & onions. Friendly workers,great service,great food. My wife and I travel from Pa to S.C we stop here every trip and have yet to be disappointed.“

“My shrimp bowl at red hibachi was delicious! One of the best seasoned/tasting bowls I’ve had! Love the variety of sauces offered, especially the spicy mustard. The staff was very friendly and had great recommendations on what to order. Great spot for a quick, healthy, delicious lunch. Will return!“

“We drove all the way from Newport News Virginia to come here It was amazing food was great The staff was friendly music was perfect Great environment“

“Staff and food experience is amazing.“

“The food at Hot Pot 757 was enjoyable, only I didn't like the fact that when you order the different items you'd like, you can't necessarily get more or less of something. Just serving sizes. Also, the hot pot burners seem to be a little too close to the table edge making it a possible hazard especially with younger children. The service was okay but as it was my first time there, the process wasn't explained at all. My party was left trying to figure out what we do next. Plenty of parking and the large booths are a plus for larger parties.“

“Pretty good BBQ but not Texas level BBQ. Collard Greens though were DELICIOUS!!“

“It’s always so delicious!“

“This is my “go-to” spot for a great meal and good service. The servers are always attentive, and the food well-prepared and served at the correct temperature: warm but not so hot as to burn one’s mouth. Pictured below is the pork chop entree I recently enjoyed. I heartily recommend Texas Roadhouse. Go ahead and order anything on the menu — whatever your choice, you can’t go wrong. #roadhouserules“

“My partner and I came out tonight around 10:45 for comfort food from the drive thru, and when I tell you we both got the best trays we've ever had you best believe it. Guy running the window said my pleasure and it made us giggle some too“

“ordered the steak and cheese to go,and it was a pretty good sandwich.My only observation is that they need to update the prices on the online menu.My actual price was about 30% more!“
