Outdoor seating with an order and pay window under a covered porch. This place is cash only! The food was good and took less than a minute to get my food after ordering. Peanut butter pie had no peanut butter flavor. There was too much whipped cream. The chocolate/peanut butter brownie was great. read more

Frontier is my husband and I's favorite place to get BBQ in the area. They primarily focus on their catering business, but when they are open for limited times we always try to go. My husband's favorite is the regular pit beef with their original BBQ sauce, and mine is the spicy beef with spicy BBQ sauce. We've also had their fresh cut fries, baked beans, coleslaw, and coconut pie. They have a wonderful shaded sitting area as well with picnic tables, pavilions, and a fire pit. The cashier at the window was incredibly kind and friendly as well. Keep a look out on their Facebook page for the next time they're open! read more

This BBQ stand is awesome, and the food is the best in Gettysburg. I live in the area and wait all year for them to be open. The gravy and BBQ is so good that you will love it. I really wish they were open more. read more

I visited Frontier on the recommendation of my barber, who said it was the only good bbq in the area. I now realize that while he is a good barber, he has no idea what good bbq is. That is, if what I had was representative of Frontier's normal offering. Maybe it isn't, and I was there on a freaky, off day where everything went bad. But what I had was so bad that I won't go back and give them another shot. My wife and I came by on the first day of their season. An hour drive. A half hour wait. That's all okay - good bbq demands such things. But I suspect going on the first day might have been a mistake for other reasons, such as, they may have been training a new pit man, I have no idea. We also came by only an hour after opening, to avoid "end of the day" dry bbq. We really wanted to give the place every chance to put on a good show. It didn't work. Everything ranged from mediocre (the limp and greasy french fries and soupy baked beans) to bone dry but flavorful (the pit beef, which was made edible by mayo, salt, and pepper) to inedible (the ribs). Those ribs... wow. The worst ribs I can ever recall having. Really... unimaginably dry. Smothered in a one-dimensional sweet sauce that lacks any contrast or umami. The ribs were not only poor in execution, but you could tell they were poor in concept. Let's get one thing straight, though- there was a 30 minute line to get this stuff, so a lot of people either really like it or are going to be in for a rude surprise. I suspect they like it, and thus, you might too. I am just telling you what it was so you can decide for yourself if you fancy bone dry baby back ribs smothered in a boring sauce. If you do, God bless you and go for it! read more

This is up there with the best BBQ I've had. The meat is smoky, moist and flavorful. The prices are very fair and it is a fun atmosphere to enjoy your food. Picnic tables, benches, a camp fire. All well maintained and welcoming. I got the sandwich which is a combo of pork and brisket. I liked them both so it'll be a tough call to decide which meat to get next time...but I may have to go with the brisket. Then again, people on here are raving about the chicken and the ribs. It won't be an easy call. The Buffalo chips are awesome. A little spicy for kids, but I loved them. Mac N cheese was solid. Sauces were good. If you want a sit-down dinner experience go to Chubbys. I've been to both. I liked Chubbys also but it is expensive and Frontier has better BBQ. ;) read more

Best ribs ever. This place is great year around. The summer menu they have Apple jack ribs which will fall off the bone and in the winter they have the best turkey you will ever eat. Their pull pork is great and they have a vinegar spray for those of us who like a Carolina taste. Ham is really good and their side are good. I would recommend the buffalo chips over the fries, the beans are good and my kids love their fried pickles and Mac n cheese. Best bar b q in several states. Seating is outside on picnic benches but they have some of them under cover. If you check their calendar they have a live blue grass or just a good fun band. read more

We were visiting our relatives that live close by there. And they took us there. I love the place, so nice and beautiful. And pack.They also selling plants and gardens items. The food was ok. The price was a little bit on the higher side. For the sandwiches only, their price range around $7 to $10. And for the meal around $15 and up. The meal comes with fries, coleslaw, baked beans and drink (free refill). If you're already up there and hungry, this place is a hook up. read more

If you want to catch the. Virus, this is the place. No masks on the employees. patrons no masks. There are signs requesting six feet distancing between customers, but nothing about masks. Great food, but very dangerous. If you are wearing a mask they look at you like you are from Mars. read more

Frontier BBQ has delicious slow cooked BBQ. Bring cash (they don't accept credit cards) but expect awesome food! They are open weekends but not sure about the winter season. Check their Facebook page to see if they are open before going. (The team often serves private parties and other catered events.) Frontier BBQ has always been a real treat! Can't wait to go again! read more

Great food and atmosphere, but unusual & inconsistent hours, in my opinion. Frontier has the best BBQ around!

Mmmmmm the smell of smoked meat!!!! We've stopped here a few times over the years for yummy BBQ sandwiches when they were operating out of a small trailer, but we were amazed to see the new upgrades!! The addition of an enclosed outdoor seating area, walk up window (which looks into a full operating kitchen), and the cozy fire-pit are impressive. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, a side of baked beans, an order of fried pickles, and sweet tea. It's was good southern slap-your-momma BBQ!! We were very pleased. The pork had a nice tangy vinegar taste, the beans were saucy and very flavorful with small chunks of smoked pork, the pickles had a dill batter on them, and the tea was not overpowering sweet. We will definitely be back...and we're recommending Frontier to everyone!!!! (Note: They are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday...and close at 5pm) YUM :D read more

Frontier Bar B Q is making the classics and making them well. My husband and I came here on a sunny Sunday for lunch. We ordered two pork sandwiches, fried pickles, coleslaw, onion rings, and sweet tea. The pork is smokey, tangy, and piled high. The sides were all good, but the pickles were pretty spectacular. This is a lovely place to eat some down-home delicious food and enjoy a little sunshine. If you're a lover of smoked meats, you'll love Frontier Bar B Q!! read more

If you like great food and huge portions, this is the place to go. I've never had anything I didn't like. Favorites are the bullhead, bbq beans, nanner puddin to name a few. Only complaint. Bring back back the fried pickle spears. read more

Fabulous outdoor fun and food! Great setting with benches and picnic tables or bar seating up on the porch. They always have a fire burning and the seating is shaded, so perfect for any summer day. Ordering is fast but remember cash only. Smoked ribs are fall of the bones delicious. Classic juicy Bar B Q! Yummo. Vinegar slaw and sweet moist cornbread are the perfect sides. Fries are hot and crispy with a spray of vinegar and a dash of sea salt, mmmmm. Make sure you get a slice of the chocolate cake, their peanut butter frosting is no joke and the perfect finish to a great meal. Don't pass this place up, it's that good! read more

The barbecue is fantastic the people are friendly but their hours and days open or a little crazy

Still excellent, years later! Remember it's CASH ONLY! You don't want to wait in line and discover this at the window! And yes, you might have to wait in line because the secret is out on this place! I can't wait for COVID to pass to enjoy their awesome outdoor area - I miss it and it's pretty unique. read more

Rock stars, except for the one time he deliberately look at me, to see if I was a regular (which I am, but not one of his buddies) and he gave me one of my rib meals that was over cooked. Been told if your not a local, born/raised in the area you suck hind tit most places locally... that OK with me, my money is just as green elsewhere read more

Great. Best BBQ I have had since leaving Tennessee. The BBQ beans were great. I was positively surprised. The meats were tasty and not fatty. Very well put together. I ordered the feast and was very happy with the place. Quick service. Go get it. read more

The BBQ is very good. It is a great location with only outdoor seating. They are not open consistently so you should check before going.

For people who find Frontier's hours "confusing," here's a summary. Open 11-5 on Fridays-Sundays. Pretty simple if you ask me. These guys are also very present on Facebook, so just check their page if you're ever unsure about anything. The barbeque is absolutely wonderful, and I gladly drive the 15 minutes down route 16 to get some. Everybody needs to try the brisket and the buffalo chips. The buffalo chips are similar in taste and texture to Arby's curly fries, and they come with ranch for dipping. As with many PA establishments, Frontier is BYOB. In addition, they only accept cash, so come prepared! The food is down-home country goodness, and if you're lucky, you might catch some live blue grass and a bonfire going on. I love this place! read more

Good food, nice costumer service and family ambient. The price are just right. Looking to come back again. read more

This place is country and not only are they not ashamed of their roots, the owners and staff celebrate the slower, kinder life. Frontier Barbecue is a local stop that serves meats that have been smoked low and slow. They have a great selection of side from their red-potato salad and signature beans, to the tasty mac-and-cheese made onsite. Their spicy beef is a local favorite. The beef has an appropriate smoked flavor and their sauce is tangy with a touch of heat. (my nose didn't run). Their eating accommodation are outdoors where you'll be entertained by a selection of classic country music. Watch to wood carver at work while you eat and then take a walk through his creations when you finish eating. read more

It's that time again to run up to Fairfield PA for some 'que. I guess during the busy summer time, Frontier doesn't serve their ribs to my disappointment. After brief paralysis, I switched gears and ordered the beef brisket sandwich, double beans, slaw, and sweet tea. Ribs? What ribs. The pit beef sandwich is out of this world. Frontier serves a chopped beef sandwich that has a strong smokey flavor. The meat was tender with no fat was present, that just melts in your mouth. I've got to say, I think these are the best beans I've ever had. Again, these beans had this maple thing going with hunks of sausage. I dare say that the beans were the best part of the meal. The slaw was alright but could have used more bite and seasoning. The sweet tea, very refreshing as I remember. Like last time, they had live music on this sunny 85 degree degree day! read more

This place is in the perfect spot to fuel up after some local adventure - whether that's some snowboarding at Liberty or hiking on the AT, or some climbing in Michaux. I'd never been here before, but I drove by it on the way out to the AT. So about halfway thru my 21 mile day hike, images of the place started haunting me, and I was lusting after some BBQ ... Finally finished with the hike, I raced down the highway, pulled into the lot, waited my turn in line ... only to discover "cash only." C'mon. Cash??? I have kids. I never have cash!? Somehow, by the grace of God, there was actually enough in my wallet for a sandwich. But not enough to try any of the other goodies I would have piled on, like beans, slaw, ribs, etc. After 21 miles, I earned the whole deal. About all I had the cash for was the entry level pulled pork sandwich. It was definitely tasty. But I can't go five stars if they can't take cards .... read more

This place has possibly the best ribs I have ever tasted in my life, and I have eaten ribs in Memphis, Arkansas, Alabama, and Mississippi, where they make true southern BBQ. They are called Apple Jack Ribs, I got them the first time I went, and HAVE to order them every time I go. I travel up here very seldom on the weekends and Fridays, but when I do Frontier BBQ is always our go to place for lunch. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they have a nice outdoor setup going with pretty hilarious signage going on, don't expect to be able to eat inside, so carry-out if it's crappy outside. They only take cash, but if you don't have any they have a bank with an ATM across the street, just have to dodge a car or two to get there, but it's soooo worth it. read more

Frontier Bar B Q - Customer Appreciation Day-live music, free coffee, green beans & taters. - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Pennsylvania

We decided to stop here on a whim while out driving. We were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was relaxing. We didn't know that it was cash only but we had enough to cover what we ordered. Good thing there is a bank across the street just in case. Since it was Sunday I ordered the half chicken (for $7) to split between myself and my four year old son. It was absolutely delicious and ended up splitting it 3 ways and had enough to bring home too. Hubs ordered the hillbillie sundae. It was it had all the things he liked. I tried it and was a fan. Can't wait to come back and try out some of the other items! read more

I used to live here for a couple years. The reason why this business only opens certain days of the week is because the family who owns and runs it have second weekday jobs (I used to know them well). So for those who came on here Yelp to bitch about their hours... Get off your high horse. This is a self employed family business. In Fairfield/Waynesboro, you will stumble across many family businesses that have odd hours. It's just the way things are there... deal with it, city slickers. /end of rant These people make the most amazing BBQ. Their half chicken is made and sold on Sundays... Sundays is the best time to go. If you can't make it that time, get their sandwiches. Their hot BBQ sauce is amazing. Sometmes they will have Bluegrass music lay. This is one of the food establishments I missed after moving to North Carolina. read more

My husband and I like to come here on the weekends when they are open (odd hours/days). The bbq is delicious and (dare I say it) moist. You can get a combo that comes with really good fries, and the Mac n cheese is delicious. The pricing isn't bad either. There isn't any indoor seating but the outside seating works just fine and we love the fire pit. They are cash only, but definitely worth it. read more

Frontier Bar B Q - Spicy beef - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Pennsylvania

Well. This place has some (over rated) high ratings but having traveled over the US eating bbq I'd rate this place a 1 or 2. I'm giving them a 3 because they are the only place around. I'm not holding them to be Franklin BBQ or Charlie Vergos in Memphis standard but this place is below average for average BBQ places. I ordered $26 worth of food and had 5-6 different things and they were all bland and no taste. Who doesn't smoke ribs in the winter but this place? Professional smokers don't close things down for winter. They are armatures. No awards or accolades. No passion, energy, or gumption. Heck, I saw a smoker out back on a trailer. How about using it? If you are from here, enjoy your mediocre BBQ. If you are passing though just drive and eat in DC or Baltimore. read more

Frontier Bar B Q - God and guns. What else can we say? - Barbeque Near Me - Fairfield, Pennsylvania

I have driven by this place for years and felt tormented by the sign announcing barbecue--it was never open in the winter. Frontier is down the road from Ski Liberty. I always said, "I'll get-up there in summer and try it" but never did. Now, they are open weekends in winter and I have stopped twice: I'm glad I did. Very good sandwiches. I have had the Spicy Beef and the Pork. Both were solid winners. The winter menu is limited so there are no ribs or brisket. The sandwiches are big and at $6 a good value. The buns are basic but good. Skip the fries--nothing special. It is an outdoor roadside place, with picnic tables. Very good staff. Cash only. Very much worth a stop. read more

The ribs here are terrific! They are so tender they melt in your mouth. Juicy, too! I'm not a fan of the sides, but, hey, when the ribs are this good, I'm still going with 5 stars. read more

Mediocre barbecue wrapped in a mediocre bun. They put too much emphasis on ambiance and branding, and not enough on food. When I asked about the brisket, they said that wasn't actually a menu offering, but just a random sign saying brisket that's part of the decor. Uh, OK. They said they only do brisket for catering since "it takes so long." I got the pork sandwich, which was tender but didn't really have an interesting flavor profile, though I will grant that the meat was tender, and my bf got the Italian sausage, which was nothing special, and the bun was atrocious. Fries were fine, beans were fine. Service was perfectly pleasant and fast, but I walked away feeling like this place did not have a dedication to the craft of barbecue, or maybe they just haven't tasted good barbecue before. I feel bad giving a negative review to an independently-owned business, but the food was like notably meh. read more

This the second time we have tried this establishment. We got the smoked chicken feast special. You get a lot of food for 17 dollars, and that makes for the value. I will start with the sides. The fries are hand cut, but we're undercooked, greasy, floppy and could have been much better. The baked beans were OK, and were the best side dish of what we had. The coleslaw was really fine cut and had a strange taste to it. It was like it was ground and really milky. Coleslaw is a tell to a BBQ joint. Bad coleslaw is a sign of how good a BBQ place is going to be. If you can not make it buy it. The fountain drinks did not taste right either, like they were watered down. Finally to the main course the smoked chicken. It looked very good and smelled good. The rub has a floral taste to it, and the smoke taste was just right. The breast was pretty dry, but I did find a couple of bloody spots on the wing joints. The skin was not rubbery and was edible. The staff was really nice, courteous and very helpful.. We may try this place again and go with another menu item.. read more

Visited Frontier for a wedding and the venue was stunning. I truly enjoyed the property. Plenty of seating and I'm pretty sure they treat the area with mosquito repellent because I didn't get bitten once. The food is OK. I liked the brisket and the mac. I'm not a big fan of their sauces or the cole slaw. The cole slaw was chopped too fine for my liking. I'd stop by again if I'm in the area, but I'm sure that may be a rarity. read more
