Super disappointed, the food is definitely not the same caliber of the Alexandria, VA restaurant. It was way overpriced, small portions and "meals w/ sides" didn't include a drink! While the staff working the counter were fantastic they were not able to juggle in person and carry out orders quickly. It was clean, people were friendly but I'd spend my money at Mission BBQ and have a much better quality of food.

Overall, I was disappointed. I got a half rack of baby back ribs and a side of baked beans. The price was high but the portion was generous. The ribs were unexpectedly very salty which could not be overcome with the watery "hog sauce". Speaking of watery, the beans were just that as well as being flavorless with bits of pork fat that made them almost inedible. This place did not come close to meeting the hype.

1/15/24Level I... Politeness/Greetings:"Mellow greetings and salutations."There was only one person who did this. His personality at the time I met him reminded me of Ed from Good Burger. I wonder if he was acting like Ed on purpose?Nevertheless, the other two people looked like management. They were gloomy. The happy go lucky cashier took down my order for The Mac&Cheese. BBQ wasn't on my mind and neither anything else except macaroni and cheese.Level II: Food/SanitationUpon looking at the macaroni and cheese, I started getting a bad feeling. The Mac&Cheese looked like it had been sitting around for to long. This bad feeling only doubled when I saw one of the managers eating food right over the cutting board where food is prepared.While it might not be a malicious act, I do feel there is a better place to eat your food. Eating on the cutting board area is morally unacceptable.I decided to get something to drink just incase the macaroni wasn't good. I am glad I did, because the macaroni and cheese wasn't good. The Mac&Cheese was extremely bland and down right atrocious. I didn't make it past one bite. I hope the raccoons can enjoy this food, because I couldn't.The orange soda worked its magic and got rid presence of the macaroni and cheese in my mouth.I saw the soda machine still wasn't fixed with standard plastic labels for the drink names. Just white paper with hard to read names on the paper. A black sharpie marker would be advised.The bathrooms are segregated by gender. Personally this is a bad waste of space. Both bathrooms should be labeled as unisex so anyone can use them.The bathroom for men looked the same as the last time I saw it. Not overly dirty, but Gunnery Sergeant Hartman wouldn't approve of the setup either.Just before leaving, three people came in and looked around. I don't know if they bought anything, but I know they saw one of the manager eating his food right on the cutting board as I had.The looks on they're face said..."That Don't Impress Me Much..."Level III: Overall ThoughtsPersonally, I don't see this business lasting very long unless things change for the better. Seeing this store on a daily basis, I see few people going inside here. If this place does succeed, great.In the meantime, I won't be ordering macaroni and cheese again. Maybe the next customer will have a better experience than I did in this restaurant.If you want to buy Myron books, spices and maybe grilling tools, they are located near the bathrooms.The store hasn't changed much since the previous store was a BBQ place. New equipment, and a new wall was put up. Pictures or something else should be on the walks for decorations.Overall the restaurant to me is screaming "Help Me." I hope "The Help" comes.Parking: The best parking is by Harris Teeters.

Ordered takeout, at first we thought portions were too small. Taste wise the meat was juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was delicious and creamy & the loaded baked potato salad was decent. Overall I was satisfied, just wished you’d get a bit more for the price.
The ribs were good. Service not so much. Took forever for three guys to find BBQ sauce and put my food in a bag. When I was handed my order, I told the guy to "Have a good night". His response was "I will". Needs some training on how to talk to a customer.

2/17/2024New Location - 2670 Avenir Place, Vienna, VA 22180. Visited Myron Mixon BBQ Friday, this week around 3PM. Was surprised to find the restaurant empty of customers, except us and 4 employees. As a big fan of BBQ I had great expectations. Upon arrival I was disappointed with the dinning area being a bit of a mess. Some tables had sauce bottles that were very low on product and in different locations on the tables. Some tables had no sauce bottles. It had a very disorganized appearance. The layout of the dinning area was very unappealing and boring. I was greeted by a young gentleman, unenthusiasticly. I explained it was 1st visit and needed to view the menu. No assistance, suggestions, recommendations or questions raised, nor was any welcome or information provided.Order was placed: 1 three meat platter with a side and 1 brisket sandwich with a side and 2 sodas. This came to a total of $52 and change which seems outrageous! 2 workers assisted (stood around the prep person talking) in getting the product arranged on a metal tray with a paper liner. The two trays were prepared quickly and called by name for pick-up. Again, we were the only customers and were sitting directly in front of the counter. Interestingly, we ordered the 3 meat platter and were given a 2 meat platter. When notified of the mistake, two of the workers, including the order taker needed to re-verify the order that was just taken from their only customers. They stated it was a 3 meat platter and corrected the platter... lacking any apology or accountability. The coleslaw was very good and appeared fresh made. The 3 meat platter was very sterile and unappealing. It reminded me of a school cafeteria lunch tray. Just 3 different blobs of meat laid on a metal tray with a cup of coleslaw sitting there. The 3 meats (chicken, pork & sausage) were well cooked and had good flavor. The presentation was very, very weak and disappointing. The brisket sandwich was tasty and had a great smoke ring, but was dry. I was very surprised that no option of moist or lean was available. Of course, we had to get sauce bottles from an adjacent table since our were so low. The others were not much better. The cashier did politely offer us two partially filled sauce bottles near the end of our meal, since he noticed ours were near empty, but that was too late. The soda was a cup for filling at a self serve station that was satisfactory. Overall... a very unsatisfying visit, with a very disappointing service level (generally missing). The food quality was mediocre at best. The aesthetics and appeal were non-existent. The price to value was extremely out of balance. Way too highly priced for the experience. Myron Mixon's BBQ is an outright "avoid". Famous Dave's is much, much better and Mission BBQ is the stand alone best in the area!!Parking: Free parking is essentially non-existent. parking without pay can be obtained by cheating. You could inappropriately park in the Harris Teeter garage parking.

Wife and I were excited to try this new BBQ spot. We were extremely disappointed.She had the six hog sauce wings and fries. The wings tasted fine. They were hot (temperature not spiciness). The fries were on the cold-side of lukewarm. She got sick on the way home, so I'm deducting points from the wings.I ordered the pulled chicken & brisket, with collard greens and peach BBQ beans. The only thing actually hot was the beans. The greens were on the hot-side of lukewarm. The meat was on the chilly-side of room temperature. The pulled chicken was too salty. The brisket was juicy and flavorful. The greens tasted vinegary. The beans were delicious. I'd never had beans with peaches, but I will definitely seek it out in the future.We ended up paying about $60 for our food. At that price point, our expectations were much higher. If we'd only paid around $30, we would probably have been more forgiving. Considering how hard it's been to find good tomato-based BBQ in NOVA, we left really disappointed.Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention that a bunch of tables (including ours) didn’t have sauce bottles available. I had to swipe some from another table. Seems like a basic thing to ensure before opening the doors. That's why atmosphere lost points.

Had the chicken wings with hog sauce, and they were some of the best wings we’ve had in the area! Also tried the pulled pork, baked beans, and cornbread which were also great! Would recommend to people looking for good BBQ in the Dunn Loring area.
