I came here for dinner a few weeks ago, and got the barbeque beef brisket. Regarding the brisket, I love how the juices were kept in, which complemented well with the smokiness. The meat was really tender, but had some parts that were a bit undercooked. I wish they could do something about the bitter aftertaste though as I tasted a bit of charcoal in my mouth.This place is good, but I wouldn't say it was worth the price, and there's definitely better barbeque places.

Service was friendly and fast. Food delishness! 1/2 rack was meaty, tender, and charred just right. Pork belly, well, ya just can't go wrong. Sandwich was loaded.

Such a high review score for this place is beyond me -it should be illegal to call it a BBQ joint. The brisket was sliced as thin as roast beef and tossed in a bowl, then mixed with BBQ Sauce and even then they still managed to make it chewy. Same with pork ribs, like chewing on rubber… both had absolutely no rub or crust. The Mac and cheese was disgusting. The onion rings were ok.Being from Dallas, I was excited to try what BBQ was like around here but I’m honestly disappointed and sad that people would give such a high score to a place that is not even close to what a cheap, below average Texas bbq joint can do.The cashier said they would take the order to my table only to hear a guy yell my order for me to pick it up.So shockingly bad that I took my time to write this review... Send your cooks for a month to Texas to see if it gets marginally decent.Cant believe I paid $40 for thatI’m very sorry to the owners but it was the most depressing BBQ I ever had. Maybe stick to something like pulled pork or whatever but don’t sell ribs or brisket. Wow

Overall, the food was okay. I ordered a hot dog, Texas corn pudding, Brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and the broccoli salad. Nothing stood out.

Pretty good barbecue for NoVA, and the price feels balanced though I wouldn't recommend the ribs. My pulled pork sandwich was tasty, and I enjoyed the bbq sauce. The fries were great too. We ordered to-go and it came out in less than 5 minutes.

Favorite restaurant in nova. You guys crushed it with this place. Beef ribs + different platters + quality sides. Would love more beef options and random specials of new things to try. Overall though stands as the best place in town. Here often.

Acrid smoke flavor ruined every dish we had. I love smoked bbq but it shouldn't taste like I'm licking a sooty fireplace. The chopped pork was salvageable but the lamb sandwich and beef rib were barely edible. Good sides and great interior atmosphere.
