Best BBQ since I’ve moved to Virginia from Texas. This guy seriously knows his brisket. As good or better than some of the best pit masters in Texas.

I really wanted to like this place since I’ve only ever heard amazing things about them, but the food was honestly not impressive. Half of my brisket sandwich was dry and it was severely lacking in flavor. I also got the banana pudding and the potato salad, which were pretty good, but the potato salad was actually more resembling of mashed potatoes and the banana pudding tasted like it was store bought. The environment was very welcoming though.

Skilled chef. The absolute best chicken wings. Wonderful spare ribs. If you can, get the pastrami, too

So go early if you’re going on the weekend . The pulled pork is delicious. Also, the smoked potato salad and mac n cheese is delicious. The portions are very good for the money . The smoked wings are flavorful too.

Can’t recommend this place enough, they always have something different and it’s always out of this world, and for a reasonable price. Also I’ve had burgers all over the country and the smash burger here is the best I’ve ever had hands down. If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor!

The brisket had a thick layer of fat on it which took up half the portion. The remaining brisket was tough.

The smoked wings, pulled pork, smoked potato salad, banana pudding, and meatloaf sandwich were excellent. We were disappointed because they did not have the mac and cheese, the Philly cheesesteak, or the Biria.

Got a pound of brisket and Mac and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious! We rushed to get here before they closed. We are on our way back to NJ from staying in Bryson city NC to see the smokey mountains. So happy we found this place along the way!

My husband and I ate here today and it was chefs 💋. We live almost an hour a way but will most definitely be back as this is worth it. You can tell the food is made by people who truly have an appreciation and love for food.
Amazing food. Pictured is the brisket platter with collards and mac and cheese, half a pound of spare ribs, a boudin link, 6 smoked wings, and a side of potato salad. Not pictured is the vinegar pie. This place really lives up to the hype. I’m very excited for their brick and mortar location to open up.

Very simply, the absolute best barbecue restaurant in this part of Virginia! I love barbecue and have had it from Maine to Georgia (and I lived in North Carolina) and this is as good as it gets. Absolutely the real deal. Locally sourced, hand made with skill and care, they are pros and never disappoint.

Simply the best food truck ever. Hidden just a few feet off the road, you’ll know you are in the right place once you pull in the parking lot. The smoky flavor hovers over the area and will have your mouth watering as you walk up to order. Beef Brisket, Mac ‘n Cheese and slaw are our top choices. Throw in the pickled cucumbers and onions to tease your pallet and you have a perfect meal.
