- Joe ShlikasMay 11, 2012Great BBQ & even better service. Eat at the bar & talk to Matt. One of the best bartenders in Fairfax county.
Leanne AlyssaJuly 2, 2016Brownie sundae wasn't amazing. The brownie is pretty dry. Good service, friendly staff
Dean HutchinsFebruary 3, 2017Gets crowded. Sometimes takes a while to get service at the take-out station.
James SullivanDecember 21, 2009Some of the best "chain" bbq around IMHO. Family sampler is great for a crowd but swap the cob corn for something else.
Varian ShrumMarch 13, 2013Tasty, but seriously overpriced. $5.50 for a 12 oz Blue Moon + $11 for a salad + tax + tip = $19. Slightly absurd.
