30 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Richmond

“Every time we are in Richmond, my husband ensures that we stop by to grab a meal. EACH AND EVERY TIME!!!!! Great food and I absolutely LOVE the desserts.“

“Best pulled pork, ribs and wings I’ve ever had! Cornbread (bits of corn in it) with their honey butter and wow! Amazing! Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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 food was really good and service was good even though there was only 1 working and the cook. Will definitely eat there again if back up in that area.“

“I do not like using the words “cheap eats” for Birmie’s. It makes their wonderful food sound inferior! Their food is always delicious! Reasonably Priced!“

“Had Nachos there this evening. Really generous portion size (probably better for 2 people). The brisket (which they smoke in house) was very smokey & tasty, they don't skimp on the brisket either. I enjoyed the mole & the really fresh cilantro & greens on top. Friendly waitstaff, and the Bear is cool. :) Highly recommend.“

“Food was absolutely fantastic!!“

“Knowledgable staff, amazing food and atmosphere!“

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

“Opal was an amazing server. she made our time there so nice! Our food was great and the service was the best!“

“I was treated to lunch yesterday at Honolulu Barbeque. I ordered the bourbon chicken and green beans. Wow, so delicious and the price was right!! The chicken was flavorful and they used fresh green beans not canned. The service was great too! They let you sample a protein before you make a choice. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“We love this place! Not as busy today, so Ron was right there to great us as soon as we sat down. We love the feel of the restaurant. And the gigantic ceiling fan is crazy! Seat yourself and enjoy the tray of food that is about to come your way. Be warned though, great food at a moderate price. I definitely don't mind spending my money on a good quality meal. Well done Buz and Ned's!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I really like this place and think it has so much potential. But I have to say the inconsistency in the food is starting to show, and it really comes down to who’s cooking on any given day. Sometimes the fried rice is perfect, and other times it’s mushy. Sometimes the chicken is perfectly seasoned, other times it’s really bland. When it’s good, it’s truly amazing and it’s one of the best hibachi to-go spots in Richmond. But these last couple of times, it’s been a letdown.

I’m leaving this review because I really want to see the place succeed and step it up a notch with more consistent training for the cooks. It’s got the potential to be a standout spot if the quality becomes more reliable. Right now, if they keep pushing out inconsistent dishes, they risk just blending into the background like any other place. I’m rooting for them to get it right!“

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

“What a great place to go eat. The small Diner setup with the booth and old school tables and chairs are great. The Retro pictures on the walls are fun to look at. The tv in the corner playing football was a plus. Everyone is very nice and genuine when you go into order or call in.“

“The restaurant has a big menu and the atmosphere is very pleasant. I've had several meals here and enjoyed all of them.“

“Staff and food experience is amazing.“

“First time today! Loved It. Definitely to return!“

“stopped here tonight with my 4 year old on a long road trip and I can't say thank you enough. Great people, great food, great place! highly recommended if you love GWAR or crispy fries 🍟 👁“

“I've eaten at the Hot Pot 757 on south side, where the service was much better. There, the server would explain everything to you beforehand -- important if you are bringing guests who haven't dined here before. At the Broad Street location, I asked the server to explain how the meal works, and all he said was that it's all you can eat. Not helpful to new customers like our friends. Also, a different employee kept interrupting us to change the BBQ burner, even when it was still cooking food. We asked her to come back to change the burner, but she did not understand English. This happened 5 times. Fortunately, however, the food was excellent.“

“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!“
