Life without good BBQ is no life at all. At River Road BBQ we keep it simple, we keep it good. We cook our barbecue slowly, with real smoke and fire. Our meat is perfectly flavorful on its own, without all of the fuss. Imported all the way from... More

Nothing fancy, but serves a decent sandwich. I opted for the brisket and got enough meat in my pack to make two. The meat was smoky, tender and flavorful. Next time I'm going to try the pulled pork and chicken
My husband and I were driving down River Road, not looking for food, really. We happened upon, this little place, that looked inviting. It was. The smell, from the smoker, immediately sucked you in! Next, the staff were beyond courteous. The menu, wasn't readily available to look at, as it was taped at the order counter. The associate stated the reason, is so that way, you have to talk to them. We chose to eat in, and take out, as we didn't know what to have. Chicken tacos, for eat in, and a rack of ribs to go. The chicken tacos, were not your regular "taco." Very large, tender chicken, that had been smoked, seasoned with a tangy sauce, drizzled with a white sauce, all under shredded cabbage, and pickled purple onions. Absolutely, not what we were expecting! The ribs, we haven't engulfe
This is the real deal. I was happy when I pulled up and saw a monster offset smoker out front, and the food, and service, did not disappoint. I will definitely be back as a repeat customer. They used cherry wood. The potato salad was probably one of the best I have ever had at a barbecue restaurant. The brisket was so juicy you didn't need barbecue sauce. This looks like it was an old gas station, and it's a barbecue pit. It's legit. And they take credit cards.
My wife and I stopped by this evening and purchased a family pack that is advertised as feeding four people. We paid extra for the split option (pork and brisket), which totaled over $50. After opening the contents (as shown in the photo), it is easy to see that this is barely enough food for two people. My wife and I used to enjoy coming here and frequently recommended this place to friends. Unfortunately, based on this experience, you have not only lost us as customers but have also lost potential new customers as well. Very disappointing…
Ridiculously overpriced. This portion was $14. The small side of barbecue sauce is very watered down and not very savory. The brisket itself is okay but a little chewy. Definitely the worst barbecue I've had in a long time.
