We stopped by this little place just of 360 between Aylett and Tappahannock. Stand-alone building at small crossroads on Howerton Road. Seating for 4-6 at most....and the BBQ was DELISH! The baked beans were awesome. Larry the owner was so nice - his main business is catering and this is his sole retail outlet. Very basic but neat, clean, good quality and value. Worth a visit! (Open mostly Thursday - Saturday). read more

Larry's BBQ - Worth getting off US 360 between Aylette and Tappahannock! Good BBQ! - Barbeque Near Me - Dunnsville, Virginia

The best BBQ ribs on the planet are just outside Tappahannock - in a small, lone 1-story cinderblock building in the middle of open farmland. The real deal. Larry's BBQ, 4619 Howerton Rd, Dunnsville, VA 22454. Totally worth the 2 1/2 hour ride thru the countryside to get there from DC. Go now. Your arteries won't be happy, but who cares? The rest of you will. We also should have gone there for burgers instead of the fancy burger joint in Tappahannock, which is like so many of the trendy places in the DC area. Long on high prices and short on good quality meat. Larry makes them with pure beef from the farm. If they're anything like the ribs (and I totally suspect they are) then we'll be in heaven - again. Next time we go to Middle Neck, we're making a beeline for Larry's BBQ and praying it will still be as down home as when we went there this Spring. And, oh yeah - the sides are KILLER. Enjoy!!! read more
