Dave's BBQ is a great place if you're hungry for BBQ! We tried them for an early Friday dinner and the food and service was great. Dave's is one of those establishments that you order your food at the counter, the jalapeño sausages were my favorite on the 757 sandwich. Their dining area is perfect for a quick bite, they sell merchandise and home made desserts, in fact most of their food is homemade. Only reason for not giving 5 stars was I thought the pulled pork was dry and unseasoned. They have a variety of sauces at the table to try. Dave's is definitely a solid choice if looking for BBQ close to the beach. read more

The ribs were delicious. They didn't easily pull from bone but I prefer it that way. It was dry rub which I also prefer. The pulled pork sandwich was huge and plentiful. The side of coleslaw was very wet and the potato salad is mustard heavy. Love the swag they have to offer. Staff was super friendly read more

First timer at Dave's and I wish I did not wait so long to try it. We had a disappointing trip to Beach Bully with terrible food so throughly we'd try somewhere new. Literally everything was amazing. My husband and I each got a platter so we could try everything. We were so stuffed but so happy when we finished. I can't even make a recommendation on the menu because it was all so good. The meat was tender. My mouth is Katherine just thinking about it. read more

This was a pick up and go order so I can't say much about the location but I can about the service. They were packed and our food was ready in the timeframe told so in my book, that's good service. The food itself needs to be talked about as well. The beans were delicious! The mac and cheese could use some help along with the brisket. It was cut thick and it was also more on the drier side. However, the pulled chicken and ribs saved the day with plenty of flavor and moisture. I'd go back for seconds and thirds. read more

A whole 2 meat platter for only $19?? Fresh smoked meat with some of the best beans in town?? Sign me up! A scrumptious spot hidden in VB, they were out of ribs by the afternoon but their brisket and pulled meat did not disappoint. Highly recommend the green beans and their famous baked beans. This location also had outdoor seating to enjoy your food in the nice sun. Come early to avoid the lines! read more

This is by far the best BBQ in all of Hampton roads! The service is great, the food is top tier perfection and I love the sweet tea! If you're looking for the best BBQ in the 757 this is your spot! They also have great specials like their Buffalo chicken dip egg rolls read more

Just yum!!! Always one of my go places. Recommend to all. Food and service just right. Always a repeat customer. Thank you from 757. read more

They have the most amazing brisket you would ever put in your mouth. Give it a shot right off the oceanfront worth the extra little jot.

I used to visit Dave's BBQ when they were located at their previous location but I recently discovered their new location off of Laskin and definitely had to stop in. As I walked in, I was very impressed with how large the dining area was. It's wonderful to see such a deserving, local business grow from a small location with few seating to a restaurant style building. The staff were very friendly and assisted me with ordering. I decided on a Two Meat Platter and chose the Brisket and Ribs along with Potato Salad and Baked Beans. I was encouraged to try the Banana Pudding so I ordered that as well lol. The food is served as you order so there's no wait and everything was just as great as I remembered. The ribs were "fall off the bone" tender and the brisket was juicy and flavorful. The baked beans have always been my absolute favorite and the potato salad was savory and wonderful. All of the BBQ sauces were at each table so you could help yourself to as much as you want. The banana pudding was pretty good but I would have loved more bananas and cookies. I will forever recommend Dave's BBQ to anyone looking for a BBQ spot with great food and wonderful customer service. I am so happy that this place is still thriving! Definitely stop in and check them out! read more

Wednesday 8/14/2024 I came across this spot with the help of Mr.chimetimes video on tik tok. I had planned on visiting this spot last year but never got the chance to do it so I'm back again and made sure visit. I made a takeout order over the phone and got a 3 meat plate of brisket, ribs, pulled pork with 2 sides: smoked baked beans and cornbread $19.50 and added a jalapeno cheddar link to my plate for an additional $4.50. The ordering process was nice and easy but by the time I had left with my food, I realized I was charged more ($4.50) for adding a sausage link to my plate than I originally should've been charged ($3 based on menu) but it didn't take away from the overall experience. - The Brisket was pretty good: it was nice & tender. I'd give it an 8/10 rating. - The Ribs were pretty good and flavorful. I'd give a 8.3/10 rating. - The Pulled pork was alright but it got a bit better with the addition of the bbq sauce. - The Smoked baked beans were very good: it has seasoning in it and a nice sweet bbq flavor. - The Cornbread was the weakest of all the items I tasted but it wasn't bad, just mid. - The Jalapeno sausage cheddar link was good and as rating a I'd give it around a 7/10. - Both bbq sauces are decent but I liked the sweet bbq sauce more than the spicy bbq sauce. Overall, I want to thank Mr.chimetime for putting me on to this spot and for Dave's bbq for serving great bbq. I would definitely return and recommend if you are in need of some good bbq. read more

Without a doubt - THE BEST BBQ IN THE 757. I've been coming here since before they moved to a larger location. It's the same quality, but now there's more space to sit. The brisket is excellent, and the jalapeño sausage is probably some of the best I've had. Pulled pork is good. The smoked baked beans are legit. Spicy slaw has some heat but is very flavorful. The Meat Staq is my go-to, and often, I have enough to eat another meal out of it. The banana pudding is also great. Don't fret about the cost; it's super tasty, and the portions are like you wouldn't believe. Don't skip Dave's. read more

Dave's is the BEST BBQ in the area. Their platters are AMAZING!!! I have even had my birthday party at Dave's that's how much I love it. The brisket is the most tender and flavorful piece of meat you will ever have. My aunt and uncle came from Michigan and we took them for lunch. Oh to see the look on peoples face when they try it for the first time is great. The ribs are melt in your mouth wonderful and Dave also has different sauce. Even eating something as simple as pulled chicken. You will be amazed how much flavor there is.YUM YUM YUM. My husband and I love the smoked turkey on a croissant. There is so much meat on each sandwich . Big thick delicious sliced smoked turkey and a beautiful light tasty croissant. YUM YUM UM. They have drinks in bottles and containers Then they also have sides and sometimes that changes so check the menu when you go. This is a small place with inside and outside seating but they are worth it. read more

Dave's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

My fiance used to participate in and judge barbecue competitions, so I've learned a thing or two about BBQ over the past few years. I gotta say, Dave's is some of the BEST in this area. The brisket and pulled pork are excellent; super moist and flavorful. I opted for their EZ Slaw (spicy) and it has quite a kick to it, but I enjoy spicy food so I liked it. I chose the smoked baked beans as my second side and they were delicious. Definitely different than your average baked beans, they had more of a peppery taste to them. I wish they had mac and cheese as a side, but you can buy it by the tray if you're doing a catered meal. The restaurant is tucked back a little bit from the main road, so keep an eye out for a white sign that says Dave's BBQ. read more

God I love this place. Food is outstanding. Very pleasant and the owe er is very cool too. Tell him "Rufus" sent you.

Very tasty really liked the baked beans and the brisket. Staff were very friendly and an easy location to find.

Totally worth it! Top choice meats! Will definitely be back we ordered the pull pork, sausage and brisket! Sides were coleslaw and fries

This place is great! Make sure you come hungry! It sits behind the electrical vehicle building. My wife had the pulled pork, SPICY slaw (it packs a punch), and Mac and cheese. All of which were on point. The Mac was rich but delicious! She put the NC Vinegar BBQ sauce on it, SO GOOD! I had the jalapeño sausage sandwich. It's packed full of sliced in half smoked sausage, very very good. Nice Smokey taste! It's a big Sammie though, so reminder to come hungry! You can sit inside or outside on their porch or at the picnic table near the smokers. We'll definitely be back! read more

In my opinion, this place is some of the best bbq I've ever had and I've been chasing this high ever since. Great quality and amount of food for a reasonable price. All the staff is friendly and the dining area is clean. I've taken at least 10+ different people here and they were all really impressed with the food.

Let me start by saying I'm angry with my friend for telling me about this place on the final day of my 2 week stay! I got the two-meat plate(brisket/ribs)with baked beans, green beans, and banana pudding for dessert. We decided to get our order to-go. The aromas in the car made it hard not to pull over and dive in. Everything was delicious! The secret ingredient has to be love. My plate was more than I could finish, so I did what any smart person would do - packed up my leftovers for the plane ride home! I look forward to another visit at the soon-to-come new location. read more

We visited Dave's barbecue on a weekday in the middle of the day and ordered a little over a pound of brisket, pork ribs, and pulled chicken. I can't even tell you, which was the best choice because all of them were tender and very flavorful. The brisket was melt-in-your mouth good - no need for a knife. The pork ribs were especially succulent. The sweet sauce and hot sauce were perfect.. The staff was very helpful in making our selections and reheating instructions. This was our second time visiting Dave's and we found the food deliciously consistent. With all the great barbecue available in Virginia Beach, I have to say that Dave's will be our go to for barbecue. read more

Making sure to come right at opening to get full menu availability... thats how good they are. Many of their menu items were already sold out when we showed up. Their meat was definitely in good taste, the staff was very helpful to guide us to the best food item based on what we expected. We sat down to eat because why allow it to get cold. The staff kept on suggesting different sauces and made sure to continuously ask if they met our expectations. Will be back a bit earlier next time! read more

Ordered a pound of ribs and a pound of pulled chicken for Thanksgiving with baked beans and mac and cheese. The meats were fabulous, so were the beans and the mac was just OK For Christmas I bought the meats again and the pulled chicken (for my husband) was just as fabulous as last time. The ribs, however, were like briquettes, charred past crunchy to rock hard. I knew it when I touched them while removing them from the package but it was Christmas so I just tried to make the best of it and heat them in foil at a very low temp. I was so disappointed! Since this is just my second experience here I will give it another chance, but not without checking the product before I leave. This place is really clean, great service and the spicy sauce is so good. Just wish there was better quality control for the price. read more

Awesome brisket and ribs. I didn't try everything on my visit. Right news to Beach pub on Laskin road in Vb. Service was fast and right at the entrance. Review the menu before you go in or you will hold the line up. Potato salad and baked beans sides were scrumptious. They smoke it all on site. Their blend on bbq sauces have everything from traditional east coast vinegar and pepper to sweet, spicy and versions without vinegar. The smoky flavor permeates their brisket and rib with a classic blackened spiced coat and first bite the flavor hits your tase buds. Aromatic smoky goodness and coated spice add delectable flavor. read more

My husband and his dad love a good meat joint and found this online and quickly came over for lunch one weekday. They raved about the quality of the meat and the size of the portions and I was able to sample a little bit of their leftovers. Fast-forward a few months and they're at it again only this time my husband called to ask if I wanted him to bring me something home to-go. You bet! I ordered the smoked turkey with a side of cornbread, beans and slaw. OMG. This was by far the best smoked turkey of my entire life. It's so good we're going to see if we can get enough for Thanksgiving dinner! The peppery/meaty baked beans were the best I've ever had in my life and I loved the spicy slaw when paired with the beans (I always mix the two). Everything we've tried here has been excellent and I want to go for their huge pulled pork sandwich next smothered in slaw. Here I come! I'm also eyeballing this famous banana pudding. Will report back! read more

If you're a local or just here on vacation. Please go try out Dave's barbecue. Don't waste your time on those other places. This is the spot. We go quite often. My favorite is the burnt ends and baked beans. I also love the smoked turkey. My husband likes the smoked wings, buffalo style, brisketand pulled pork. Just the other day I got there smokehouse brisket chili, to die for. Highly recommend. read more

Dave's BBQ - Smoked chicken wing platter with double loaded, baked beans as a side and another side of a sweet smoked sausage link - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The portions are generous and the 'que is OK... a bit dry but with a nice bark, smoke pink, and smoke infusion. The sides are subpar... spicy slaw that pairs well with nothing, butterbread buns and dreadfully bland Carolina BBQ sauce. Audacious suggestion of a 20% tip for counter service. Seating area similar to a well-lit fast food restaraunt from the 80's. read more

This was my first visit to Dave's. The new location is awesome! I had the brisket platter with 2 sides. I had baked beans and green beans for my sides. They were awesome. The brisket was the best I ever had. Moist and tender! Generous portions too. Their sauces which are on the table are just awesome, not overwhelming but just the right amount of added flavor. I like how you get free refills on the sodas! Very friendly staff, reasonable prices! I want to try the smoked wings next time! This is the best barbecue in Virginia and possibly the best on the East Coast. Keep up the good work and I will definitely be back! read more
