A+ Top notch barbecue! I have been eating here for years at the least 2x a week, this place is a must try for barbecue enthusiasts. I reccomend everything, all the sandwiches, ribs, and sides. The only downfall is they do not have hush puppies, which is typical for a Carolina bbq meal. I would pay for a fryer if... More

This little hole in the wall is a hidden gem in Ashburn. They not only catered my own graduation party but my mother's 40th birthday as well. Mac and cheese is my favorite and they always have fresh, succulent meat. Definitely make a stop here!

Focus on the ribs and pulled pork, chicken is good too. Family style plastic forks and plates. Don't let it fool you. Loved it

Looks like a little cabin you would see in the middle of the woods, but has decent BBQ inside. A little pricey I think but prob the bed BBQ in Ashburn. The ribs are ok and brisket is decent. I would just get the BBQ pulled pork sandwiches with a side of potato salad and baked beans. Their beans are... More

This place is great! Real authentic NC BBQ! It's certainly nothing fancy, but it hits the spot when you need some good southern cooking!

Location is in the original Ashburn village. The building is next to the WO&D bike trail so it is a great stop when biking in the area. Plainly decorated, so don't expect much atmosphere but the food is great. Where can you get a pulled pork sandwich and two sides for 7.95? They also have ribs. Sometimes they have beef... More

Took the missus her for dinner one night as we heard rave reviews of this place. We both love NC BBQ and this place has it! We both had the BBQ and it was really good, pure NC BBQ. The sides weren't that great (Mac n cheese) was cold and formed into a solid brick on the plate. Had a... More

Great spot, great building, great food, great service. What more could you ask for? Prices are very reasonable and you can't beat the flavor. Beef brisket, when available, is a must try. Staff is wonderful too!

Had lunch there today, and I got the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. The pork was ok, but I made the mistake of puting their BBQ sauce on it, and it was very vinegary, not sweet at all as I'd hoped. The mac and cheese was pretty bland, and didn't have a nice crispy top like I like... More
