One of the best barbarque in the area! Excellent food and preparation from meat to side dishes! Greens and mac are out of this world! Very reasonable price for catering!

Definitely smoked long and slow. But really short on any spices, even salt. Great if you add sauce but he forgot to-go containers the day I stopped.

Tried their brisket sandwhich today at the Ashburn Farm festival. The slaw was better than the bbq. Bbq was dry and bland.

Awesome food! Brisket especially!! People are fun and who cares if there's a line! Waited in the rain to eat Uncle Fred's BBQ

Kind of disappointed. I was expecting some true original home cooked BBQ but Uncle Fred is never where he said he is going to be at the time that he's going to be there so I have no way to judge one way or the other. I hope he does well but I won't waste my time anymore

Really cool people and really delicious food. We were so glad we stopped by. Always drove past them and rolled our windows down to smell the BBQ. Their collard greens….wow probably the best ones I’ve had

Great people. Happened upon a man and his family selling barbecue and sides on a beautiful summer day. I really like the flavor of the smoked meat and the flavor of the barbecue sauce. I didn't like the pulled pork as much as I liked the ribs. Both were better with the barbecue sauce. Mac and cheese was both delicious and cheesy. The collards were flavorful but my serving was not tender. I would definitely visit again.

This place is not good. I have had it several times, fortunately only had to buy it once. Tasted like lighter fluid when it was cooked enough, couple times was still raw. Don't get there before 1pm, not even 1 minute.

I’ve been plenty of times to Uncle Fred’s in the last few years and have never posted. I can’t imagine why I haven’t. The food is always great! Good portions abundant. Service super. Please try if you haven’t. You will not be disappointed!
Absolutely incredible bbq, i stopped on a whim and i am so glad i did. The meat is tender, the sauce choices are all top notch, the prices are fair and the amount you get in each portion is insane! I haven't had bbq this good in northern va EVER! Higjly recommended

Uncle Fred's was in my neighborhood last night and I'm so glad they were. Their food was amazing! I had the ribs, collard greens and baked beans, all excellent!

The bbq was amazing! They agreed to come serve food at a neighborhood fundraising event and everyone raved about the food. We especially love the ribs, chicken and collard greens. You should go check them out!

Omg it was so yummy! We had the brisket and the ribs and they were perfect. When we called to make sure they were open they were so helpful in helping us find their location. They also set aside some brisket for me since they run out quick. Super sweet people.

This is the second time I've tried Uncle Fred's... and likely the last. Positives first, the pulled pork was ok. That's it. The rice was bland. Potato salad without paprika?!? IYKYK. But those baked beans, wth?!? No where in barbecue or black cuisine is this considered "baked beans". She should have said "now ma'am, our beans are a little different". Maybe call them stewed beans or NoVA baked beans. Because I for damn sure would have taken a chance on another side over this amalgamation of beans. For real, chunky veggies, kidney beans?!?! There wasn't even bbq sauce. Where they do that at? This is unforgivable. Best of luck.
