This was July of 2024 out west of Ashburn. I took a pic because I was hungry before I ate it and even hungrier after. I drank water because they wanted $5 for a fountain drink.

    Normally I don’t comment in these price posts, but this one is super bad. Extremely terrible. What the fuck.

    IIRC, for $32, I recently got a sampler platter that had pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and brisket. It had enough pork for a fat sandwich, the ribs were half a rack, the chicken was a whole quarter and it was huge chicken, as well as 2 of the biggest slices of brisket I’ve ever seen. Plus 2 sides and corn bread. Then I come here and see pictures like this all the time or bills that are pushing $100 and it kinda blows my mind. It’s sad what some of these places try to pass off.

    Wtf. That’s what we call a scam.

    This has to be a joke right? The greens look decent no opinion on the cornbread but that brisket is fucked. There’s not any of it there and the fat isn’t rendered properly it’s like it’s stalled and they took it off. This is the only reason I’m glad I live in Texas good brisket

    Stop supporting the gimmick BBQ places. I don’t care how good, im not buying.

    So the drink was presumably $20 worth of drink.

    There is no GD way this is real. $25 for that?!

    Where was this? We need to know to avoid it.

    Without my glasses, I thought that was a gun

    Who orders one slice of brisket?

    Corn bread and greens look nice at least. But that brisket is hella skimpy, burnt ends don’t look awful but the whole meal doesn’t look worth the price.

    You could hit up a Rudy’s for $30 and get a half pound of moist brisket and a quarter pound of turkey with a banana pudding! They don’t usually carry corn bread though and that makes me sad. Spicy BBQ, a little meat and cornbread mixed together fucking slaps. Rudy’s might be a “boring bbq chain” but they are consistent.

    That’s just bad. This is not a viable business

    Why is this not under “mildly infuriating”

  16. WallowWispen

    If a fight broke out over this I would not be surprised

    Some skinny dude with a ponytail just robbed you.

    Is that an old ass sauce link halfed? And 1 PC of brisket? That’s a 9.99 lunch special !!! Wtf

  19. MattManSD

    Did they at least kiss you and tell you you looked pretty first?

    WTAF? I wouldn’t pay $10 for that. Do that in Central Texas and it would be trouble. That brisket needs help. They use a lot of cherry up there. Makes the meat too dark. Cooked next to folks from there at the Grand Royal years ago. Not a fan of VA Q.

    I’m also from this area. Idk where you went but it looks like monks. My go to bbq spot (for when I’m not doing it myself at my house) is Monk’s BBQ. They have a bbq platter for 2 and also a full platter for 4 either way it’s about 30 per person but well worth it. Plus they do have nice weekly specials

    I would 100% ask for my money back
