Summer is just a few weeks away and one thing we love during the summer is delicious BBQ! We asked roughly 150 Loudoun County residents to help us narrow down the BEST BBQ in our area. And after whittling it down to the Top 5, we then, of course, had to taste for ourselves! We grabbed our buddy Brian from 
This amazing, family owned BBQ joint is worth the drive, no matter where you live! The menu is simple – mouth-watering meats and house made sides. Sauces are also made fresh, from scratch and from local beers, wines, and spirits. They have 16 beers on tap and feature a full bar. Bonus: Bacon on a stick!! Thick, crispy, ham-like bacon… on a stick. Yum.
ResQ BBQ just opened their first location! They’ve taken over the concession stand at Evergreen Sportsplex and the unique outdoor location makes it feel like you’re at a backyard BBQ. Their menu features an assortment of sandwiches, snacks, and a flavorful, juicy brisket.
Tender and tasty BBQ for sure. They have a good selection of meats, salads, sandwiches, chili, and “house made” side items. Do yourself a favor and order the BBQ-Ranch Beans. Those alone are worth the trip! Bonus: 1/2 Price Ribs on Tuesdays from 4-9PM, craft beers and Lost Rhino Root Beer on-tap!
A true BBQ “Joint”! This true North Carolina BBQ meat is hickory smoked, and the pork, beef and chicken are hand-shredded. Ribs fall off the bone and there are a great selection of sauces. The menu is simple and straightforward. All the sides are “house made” and very tasty. Bonus: Amazing corn bread and fresh baked pie!
An interesting twist on the traditional. This new, locally owned and operated spot is where taco meets BBQ. The Pit Master smokes all the meat for about 12 hours, then hand pulls it. Besides being able to build your own taco, the menu features a yummy chili (a family recipe!), salad options, and kids meals. Bonus: There’s a bar! And all meats, sauces, and most ingredients are gluten free!
