13 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Alexandria

“The food is always great quality and top notch in flavor! The staff is friendly and helpful while the restaurant is clean and inviting. If you’re looking for a good BBQ meal, I would highly recommend giving Mission BBQ a try! They also have an amazing catering menu that is perfect for any event or gathering.“

“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.“

“Went for lunch and of course anything Ralph has a part of is great. Very reasonable prices, lots to choose from and great service. Go and see for yourself!“

“The employees were very helpful and courteous; Yoseph, two thumbs up! Thanks for your help and your professional manners! I'll definitely be back!“

“This place is cozy, lots of TV screens if you’re into sports ( or the Chive channel like my kid). Wings are delicious, brisket cheesesteak is a sin of gluttony and I love every bite. Mac and Brussels sprouts rock. They have a hot sauce selection behind the bar for the adventurous, and they’re supportive if you make a mistake 🤣 ( kid has a higher tolerance than I do!).“

“Amazing atmosphere - service needs a little work. I think this place is heavily understaffed so we did have to wait a decent amount of time for food/drinks and our bill. Two other things that would help improve my rating would be to include dietary restrictions on the menu (especially Gluten Free) and to be able to split checks properly. There was six of us and we asked to split our check between the three couples but the waiter straight up shut us down (didn’t even try). With these improvements, this place would definitely deserve a 5 star rating.“

“The food lived up to expectations. Chili dogs were crazy delectable and the banana pudding was awesome. Can't wait to try more of the menu. This little quaint spot feels like I was growing up in the seventies.I know I'm 51 now lol. Definitely get a Sundae it's to die for!“

“My favorite BBQ in Arlington and Alexandria.“

“I had the brisket, ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. The brisket practically melts and was so delicious. The ribs were great too. Tried several of the sauces. I like the mustard & the origins sauce best. Meal was big enough to ask for a doggie bag to finish it later on.“

“Husband and I both got 2 meat platter because we wanted leftovers. It’s enough food for 3 meals easy. Everything was delicious!! My favorites were the brisket, cucumber salad and cornbread. Donna’s got it going on cause her food is full of flavor!!“

“Little shop that does amazing rice bowls. Food was hot and delicious when it came out, will definitely be back. There’s not many offerings for Korean food in a fast-casual setting in this area, its nice to be able to get some Korean takeout without having to commit to a dine-in meal.“

“Super fun place. I hope they keep the pop ups going.“

“Gene was an awesome job! Food was great. I can't wait to bring my family back.“
