Keith is a talented pit master. Good food at reasonable price point. We have Young’s BBQ listed as a trusted vendor on our Camp Adventureland website. They have catered delicious satisfying meals to our large teambuilding events as well as small office parties. Always on time and no one goes hungry. I stop in wean on that side of town and enjoy the pick of the day. When asked what I would like I just say”impress me, you choose” and I’m always satisfied.

Customer service was good, I ordered the brisket sandwich meal, first the brisket was cold to the touch second there was hardly any bbq sauce on the sandwich however the amount of meat on the sandwich was enough to make two sandwiches but there was no seasoning the meat was bland and cold. This place would be perfect for older people who suffer from high blood pressure absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. The whole experience was not bad, the coleslaw was great the Mac and cheese not so much. Me personally I will not be going back. The cookie pie was good, two chocolate chip cookies with whip cream in the middle made my inner child happy. I really wish I could find a real bbq spot in Delaware. I’m pretty upset because I threw up after eating that sandwich ? but the customer service was top tier ?If you guys wanna grow your business put a touch of love in the brisket. Again the people were excellent the food was 2.1 out of 10 in my opinion. For all the family and friends review you guys should help out by buying the food and stop making reviews that fool all of us. I work two jobs I hope I feel better by the morning. If you are reading this and I have offended you I apologize it is not my intentions to hurt feelings I spent my money on some food and want to give people my honest opinion. Again the staff were excellent but the food could use some help and if the bbq food is not made in house there’s your first problem?

I have been coming here for years. The pulled pork is excellent! There are a variety of great tasting sauces and side dishes to complete your meal. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. You won't come leave hungry. The staff are really nice and the restaurant is clean. I drive 40min just to get one of these tasty meals.

Having visited many bbq places Youngs BBQ has disappointed. Brisket ( like another review said) tasted like crock pot pork shoulder. If you like a smokey taste or seasoning to your bbq meat this place isnt for you. I prefer a cherry smoked flavor to my bbq ( off the coals in Easton is number one). Baked beans tasted strange and had little flavoring. Potato salad was good. Overall I wouldn't return. $40 for three meals which isn't bad! Friendly service!

The food is good here and the sauces are pretty good, though the Carolina gold sauce isn't what I expected. The man who runs the place always seems a little grumpy but maybe it's part of the charm of the place. The woman is nice. If you're craving barbecue you won't be disappointed. ,

Barbecue was excellent but the interior of the venue needed much renovations. If it was classed up somewhat it might even have a bigger

My wife and I stopped in for our first time last night, we'll be back! Our brisket sandwiches we're amazing! They were so tender, no dryness, or fatty pieces, just moist delicious brisket! The sandwich was huge, it came with two homemade sides, drinks and a whoopie pie for under 15 bucks! We can't wait to go back and try the chicken and turkey.

Always delicious, sauces are great. Service is also great. If you order trays of food it's always ready and they usually follow up to make sure it was good.

Very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of bbq selections. Only couple sitting spots but my food was actually brought to me with a smile. I wasn't sure what to choose but they didn't mind telling me about everything with recommendations. Definitely going back.

Took a detour off of Rte 1 north in search of BBQ while passing through Middletown, DE. Tucked away in a small shopping plaza is Young's BBQ... a hidden gem! I ordered the lunch special which included a sandwich w/ choice of meat, 2 sides, a soft drink, and dessert. Owner, Keith, suggested the pulled pork - moist, tender, and AMAZING!!!!. The potato salad and baked beans were delicious too. Generous portions. Keith's BBQ sauce is worthy of bottling and selling in a specialty butcher shop or grocers. My favorite is the "HOT." Young's is definitely worthy of the 3-4 minute jaunt off the highway!

When I was looking at the menu I was worried that my eyes may have been bigger than my stomach but that didn't stop me from ordering the sweet Italian sausage, the pulled pork sandwich and the brisket sandwich. I told the cashier that if I had any room that I'd be back for a side of mac 'n cheese, to which she responded you're not going to have any room." She was right, but that didn't stop me from eating my entire order much to the surprise of Mr. Young (mind you, I'm 6'2, 165 lbs soaking wet). Absolutely delicious and I hope to one day get after that mac and cheese I was eyeing up. I'll be back.
