Dba Barbecue (n Highland Ave Ne)

Waitress was a little inpatient we had just got to table and was already asked what we wanted to drink. It was our first time like let us sit and look at menu's first. Two adults and four kids that takes time to decide what the kids want then ourselves. The food was great I'll be back soon. The kids didn't care for the lemonade it was too sour needed more water and sugar to balance it out. The sweet tea wasn't strong it seemed like it was too much water basically watered down. The waitress did switch kids drinks so that was a plus. I see they have bingo and trivia night that's great.

This place is not easily noticeable from the street. Drive slow when you get close. There is a private parking lot beside the establishment with limited parking shared by other businesses. This venue is pretty spacious on the inside and they seem to have a special every day of the week. I sat at the bar to watch NFL games. The staff is pretty friendly. I like that this place was not over crowded. I ordered the Big Burger with sweet potato tots. The Big Burger is a beef patty topped with pepper jack cheese and brisket. There is also some jalapenos in there. The sweet potato tots do not come with any sauce but the BBQ sauce will help. I would have given this place 5 stars but the BBQ weirded me out. They have a good variety of sauce but all the sauce are watery. I assume that the sauces are vinegar based. Couldn't you have one sauce that is not vinegar based.

Great barbeque spot in Virginia Highlands! Smoked chicken had delicious smoke flavor, and every side we tried was top-shelf. We'll be back for sure!

Really nice food selection. Sauces are great. Portions are slightly small but overall positive experience with service and location.

Food and drinks are pricy but service is excellent and atmosphere is great for a barbecue joint
