I love the Log Cabin Barbecue! I love the warm and inviting decor of the dining room and the music that they play. I have been eating here for the past 20 years. The service has always been impeccable! The food always comes out fast , hot and delicious! It is always consistently good. My favorite is the North Carolina pulled pork bbq sandwich with their yummy potato salad that is savory rather than sweet. I have had their brisket and many of their sides. It's all very good. Unfortunately, I did not come here for several years because of all the family drama. The original Log cabin was supposedly sold to family relatives. I ate at the Log Cabin food truck one day in Harrisonburg and the woman bad mouthed the new family owners of the Log Cabin in Elkton. She said terrible things about the food, etc. I am so glad I decided to try it again. The food is just how I remember it! Delicious!! This is a local favorite spot that does a tremendous amount of business in ToGo orders. Try it, you won't be disappointed! read more

This is a nice little family sit down barbecue spot at the bottom of massanutten. Super chill, nothing fancy, don't come expecting five star barbecue. Staff was amazing. Fried pickles were 10/10 yums super crunchy not soggy at all. Would def some back here because of the quick service. read more

A significant portion of my family (9 of us) had an early dinner at the Log Cabin Barbecue. We arrived shortly after 4:00 on a Saturday. Even with our group size we were promptly seated. Overall the restaurant is quite inviting even if it isn't much to look at from the outside. Our waitress was fantastic. Friendly and attentive! I had the BBQ Beef with fries and hush puppies. I enjoyed my meal, I just wish there was more meat. Everyone in our group devoured their meals. I had one of the ribs my wife ordered and there was a lot of meat on the bone/very tasty. I would definitely recommend the Log Cabin Barbecue. A+ service, and tasty food. Definitely a must visit in the Shenandoah Region. read more

We grabbed food while visiting a local resort from out of town. The family meal was a great value for the price. My family shared the North Carolina BBQ, mac and cheese, potato salad, and green beans. The hushpuppies were fried to perfection. Their potato salad was different than others, but DELICIOUS! The star of the show was the fried pickles. Will definitely be stopping back in the next time in town. read more

We were a group of 7 people, and one of us ordered the pulled chicken BBQ, which he did not like at all because of the taste. We politely asked to replace it with chicken fingers, and the staff agreed. However, at checkout, we were charged for both dishes. Considering that we spent almost $200 as a group, this was very disappointing and felt unfair. Good customer service would have handled this situation differently. Because of this experience, we would never comeback to this place. read more

they have open seating, I liked whatever we prefer. tables already have menus, napkins and condiments. our waitress was attentive and prompt. food came out quick, the meat was flavorful and juicy, the mac and cheese was good and gooey, hush puppies had a good outside crust and soft inside. my roll was a little dry but they gave me plenty of good soft butter. the bbq sauces they had on the table were a really good addition to the food, tangy and non spicy. food quality and portions were good for the price. dinning area and restrooms were clean and well stocked read more

I'll start by saying the service and atmosphere itself was amazing. The food though.... Good god.... "Smoked sausage" was literally just a hotdog wiener (0/10). Mac and cheese was definitely Stouffers (3/10). Ribs were claimed to have "dry rub" and sauce... they did not have dry rub, zero flavor and super dry (1/10). Dinner roll was a definitely a burger bun from a bag heated up (0/10). All 3 individual hush puppies tasted good solely because they were deep fried (5/10) (probably from CookOut). BBQ was mediocre but okay I guess (4/10). Genuinely have zero recommendations. It's like they went to Food Lion, got everything on the menu, threw it all into an oven and served it. Sweet mother of god I cannot get over how bad the food was. I hate to sound condescending but my goal here is to save yall, also hopefully they can change up their food quality. Otherwise server was tipped $20, because she was amazing. Overall it was a "it is what is it" type of experience read more

Worst BBQ I've ever had. I'm pretty sure the "sausage" is just a jumbo hot dog. Ribs are gross, and the fires are wet and soggy. Would not recommend it read more

The food is very good! Here on vacation. All 3 of us enjoyed our dinners. We had the original pulled pork bbq. Mac and cheese and baked beans. Yummy! Filling. Service was good. Don't let the place turn you away. It does seem like a dive but the food is good! Worth a try. Prices were reasonable also. read more

This is a great little place! Nice and cozy place to get delicious barbecue. We tried the rib, smoked sausage, and original pulled pork and all of it was great. The baked beans were delicious as well. We had the best server, she seemed genuinely interested in serving us and making our visit pleasurable. read more

if I could rate this place a 10 I would. Food was absolutely amazing!!! yummy Service was amazing too!! will definitely come back when we visit the area read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. Me and my husband had the worst experience. We walked in and there were 2 tables open but they were dirty so we waiting for one to be cleaned and the server told us were to sit. So we went to our table and waited and waited and waited. After about 15 minutes someone came to our table she went ahead and took our drink and food order at the same time. After that we waited some more, after she took our order we waited another 15 - 20 minutes to receive our drinks. We both ordered tea and when they were dropped off they had absolutely no ice in them so we were drinking warm tea. Every time she passed our table she didn't even acknowledge us. After waiting a total of about an hour we finally got our food and of course our appetizer came out with our entrees and all we ordered for an appetizer was a basket of fries so for them to take that long is absolutely ridiculous. We were so upset we asked for Togo boxes, when my husband went to pay she asked how everything was and he told her it took to long, she had the audacity to say they were busy. A small restaurant that holds maybe 10 tables can't be that busy especially when the food is precooked. As someone who has been in the service industry for 12 years and is still currently working in a restaurant that was absurd no accountability or anything. Disgusting and disappointing read more

Consistently good. Keeps us coming back. This is our 4th time vacationing in the area, and our 4th time the family demanded we eat here. And you know what? The plasticware & disposable plates makes you feel more at ease in this Covid crazy time we are living in. Just dang good BBQ here. And awesome icecream. Eat, enjoy, go. Great for takeout too. read more

I'm not sure what happened, but the beloved Log Cabin BBQ is now called the 1835 Smokehouse-- at least temporarily it sounds like. But not to freight, we can confirm that it's just as good! The inside is clean and looks newly updated. The menu has everything from appetizers, to salads, to the main event, barbecue! Our table started with the fried pickles and smokehouse pork fries. Our server let us know ahead of time that their fried pickles are a little peculiar-- instead of chips or spears, they're more like actual fries. But sooo good! The cheese fries were also a huge hit. We all got sandwiches of some sort-- either the South Carolina or North Carolina. The SC came with a mustard-based sauce which had some tang to it. We also received extra on the side. The sides we got like the potato salad and hushpuppies were good, though we didn't care much for the coleslaw. Might be personal preference! All in all, a trip to Massanutten is not complete without a trip down the hill to the best barbecue place in the area!! Definitely worth a try! read more

Two of us enjoyed the tomato-based BBQ sandwich and one of us found the mustard-based BBQ to be very good (although in sharing a bit, not everyone liked the latter). The sandwich rolls got a bit soggy so two of us just ate the pulled pork inside. Very friendly service. The name of this establishment seems now to be The 1835 Smokehouse. read more

You know it isn't authentic bbq when you can't smell smoke anywhere. Although the staff were nice, they were just kids with good manners. Bbq pork and beef seemed pre made along with the add on sides. Don't let the name fool you, it isn't real bbq. Texans and those with higher standards beware. read more

Greeting my fellow Yelper's! So ended up coming to this restaurant with members of my church and it turned out to be pretty good. The only hiccup some of us ran into was when our waiter brought us something entirely different from what we had originally ordered and did. It tell us. Therefore, I highly encourage everyone to advise the young waiters at this place to let their guest know ahead of time, what's available to eat and what's not? That way there is no confusion when ordering. Especially on the sampler platter. I was under the impression that it was supposed to serve 3 meats when in reality, it was only a total of two. Other than that the ribs and beef brisket was nicely smothered in a smoke finish. As I like to say, "Not too shabby." ‍ read more

We got both types of BBQ, the North Carolina pork BBQ sandwich with Mac and cheese and the original pork BBQ sandwich with fries and a side of half (6) hush puppies. The prices were very reasonable, the service was good and the food was delicious. The NC BBQ reminded us more of Smithfield BBQ but was still good. The original BBQ kinda tasted like the sloppy joe flavors but was also good. The hush puppies were the best. Even thought about getting some to go. Both sides (Mac and cheese & fries) were pretty standard, nothing to call home about. read more

This place was recommended by a local. Decided to give it a try since the person raved about it. It's a very small little quaint place. The food exceeded my expectations. I liked every single thing we ordered. The corn muffins were sweet and freshly baked, the baked beans were great and the ribs were fall off the bone! The Mac and cheese was creamy and tasty too. The pulled pork and beef were flavorful and had the perfect amount of sauce. The service was good and the bathrooms were newly renovated and clean. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who likes good bbq! read more

This place was absolutely amazing! We stopped here after our visit to Shenandoah National Park/Luray Caverns. It was some of our favorite food on our trip! All of the servers were so friendly and helpful, and our food came out SO fast. It was all delicious. I had the Pork BBQ with a side of hush puppies and mac and cheese. It was all so good. The mac and cheese was so creamy and flavorful, the hush puppies were done perfectly (crispy on the outside, soft on the inside), and lastly the pork BBQ rivaled the bbq I had when I was in Texas. You will not regret checking this gem out! read more

After a decent road trip and an extended check in process and experience my family and I were absolutely famished when we stopped into log cabin barbecue. The smell emanating from the kitchen was absolutely enticing! I don't too often eat red meat, So my taste buds were ready for a novelty barbecue experience. I can say that the sauce was savory and delicious. I wasn't very fond of the potato salad and switched it out for french fries. The ribs were tender although they could have been seasoned better for my taste. They were out of fried pickles but that's pretty understandable seeing as how COVID has brought inventory challenges for a lot of establishments. All in all I was a little underwhelmed but the place isn't bad. read more

For COVID, there is outdoor seating and distances indoor seating. The service was good and the food even better. My BBQ pulled pork nachos were delicious. read more

I went here for lunch today and was VERY DISAPPOINTED. We ordered the combo platter which consisted on Ribs, St. Louis Style and Chicken Breast. Well, the Ribs had no flavor and the chicken looked like it was a frozen chicken breast, like you get in the dorm at college. One would assume that a barbecue chicken breast would be a Breast with bones cooked on a grill; this chicken looked like it was microwaved and had no taste. This was the worst imitation of Barbecue that I have ever seen. To make matters worse, no manager came over to ask what was wrong when we took 2bites and asked for the check after commenting that we thought the chicken was going to be "real chicken breast" cooked on a charcoal grill. Highlight, the server was polite. I made my donation to the Virginia economy because I left the log cabin hungry and dissatisfied. Not a place I would recommend for a meal. read more

BEST BBQ IN VIRGINIA! It's very hard to find pulled beef (brisket), but they have it and gosh do they do it well! It's perfectly seasoned and tender. They also have amazing baked beans. I've tried a lot of bbq in VA and NC, but Log Cabin is truly the best! Very reasonable prices and delicious food. Definitely worth the drive!! read more

The best deal in the Massanutten area. The barbecue sandwiches and platters are delicious and the prices are as inexpensive as you will find. And you never have to wait long for the food to get to your table. Or do carry out and take it home with you. Friendly and polite service. Why wouldn't you eat here? read more

I was incredibly disappointed with just about everything about this establishment. I was hoping to get a taste of the local barbecuing scene, however was sorely let down. To begin, upon walking in we were not greeted, but instead the servers squabbled in front of us over who would have to take our table. As a server myself, this was appalling and extremely upsetting. My group of four, found our way over to a table and it took 10 minutes for our drink orders to be taken. We ordered two appetizer to start with, both of which were decent- with the fried pickles being the most satisfying thing I ate during the whole experience. The entrees were presented and my table was quiet. The BBQ nachos were something that could have been found ball game. The 20 dollar sampler platter was insultingly small. With all of meat being dry and semi-flavorless unless doused with BBQ sauce. Me and my spouse ordered the pork platter and it was about a cup of meat, a roll(obviously store bought), about 3 oz. of Mac and Cheese in a paper shot glass. And lastly, I was most excited for the apple sauce. Coming from the Carolinas, BBQ places generally serve warm in house made apple sauce. However, I was presented with a shot glass worth of mots apple sauce. As a fairly stoic fellow, this made me want to start crying. It was legitimately the only thing I was looking forward too. The food was generally flavorless, the meat was dry especially the ribs, which were poorly cut. And the side were lack luster. Not even in a funny way the shining star of this meal was a shot glass worth of potato salad. The bill came out to 60$, and it was nearly insulting to be presented with it. Of course it was paid in full and nothing was said to the servers other than "the food was alright, thanks". Truthfully, I felt as though my money would have been better spent at McDonald's. I usually do not leave reviews but I found the service, and food to be disturbing enough that it should be shared. atmosphere was alright. read more

Closest thing to real Eastern Carolina barbecue in Virginia! Delicious vinegar based sauce. Hush puppies and potato salad are pretty darn good too. Their South Carolina style barbecue is also a treat (mustard based sauce) if you don't care for tomato type sauces. read more

Came down to have dinner with our niece who is attending JMU. Decided to venture out from the usual suspects in Downtown Harrisonburg. We were craving barbecue and decided on Log Cabin. I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to BBQ joints, but when we arrived and got out of the car, I took that first breath in, and yet no evidence of any type of animal being smoked in any capacity, my opinion started to decline right there. Walked in and was kinda confused, do we order and take a seat, or what? Finally asked and they sat us in a booth. Looked at the menu and turned it over thinking there'd be more, nope that was it. I guess that should make it easier right? Now, the one shining quality this place has going for it is the service. Friendly, attentive, all around good natured. So the food: Appetizer- Fried Pickles Actually NOT BAD. They get the batter right to where it's not too much and tastes funky with too much batter. It had a good crisp and crunch to it. Just be forewarned to let them sit and cook before eating them, because it's like you're biting into a fried stick of lava. Meals: North Carolina Pulled Pork (w Mac n Cheese and Potato Salad) It was just weird. I get the vinegar aspect of NC sauce, but the pork just wasn't what you would normally expect from pulled pork. The sides were mediocre too. I actually addled bbq sauce to kick up the flavor. Full Rack of Ribs- Yeah, I don't know, dry rubbed, but so much wrong with the overall. They could've been trimmed better. Left of the rib tips, and just lots of extra left to have to pick through while eating them. And the roll that came with it, pass on that too. Corn Muffins- These were surprisingly good. Presentation- The styrofoam plates and plastic utensils, I get it, easy clean up, but I can only imagine the amount of trash and waste this place must go through in a week. I was struggling to see where some of these reviews claim that the actual BBQ is "Awesome" or "the best they've ever had." Seriously?!? How low are your standards and expectations? All in all. The 2 out of 5 goes for the Great Service, and 2 non -bbq food options tried. You should just drive up to Harrisonburg. It's just 13 miles further up. Your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Great lunch special of a pulled pork sandwich. Nice server and very clean and attractive dining area.

Great barbecue. If you like vinegar get the Louisiana BBQ but if you like sweet barbecue get the original sauce. My husband and I loved it. The pork and baked bean nachos were fantastic also! Polite and clean atmosphere. We will be back.. read more

Sorry but don't bother. Warm not hot, tasted old, like made the day before bbq. Came recommended but I have to say, DON'T. BBQ is not as easy to do right as some think. read more

BBQ is good Carolina style. Sloppy on the takeout though. Spent $60 on 4 entrees and got 1 tiny sauce (maybe 2 tablespoons worth of sauce). Meats were not sauced at all (which is fine, even preferred, but then you need sauce on the side). Just isn't bbq without sauce. So wasted $60 read more

Name has been changed but it is still just a mediocre barbecue place. Service was ok and they had a pretty good crowd. Food was ok but I wouldn't go back again. read more

Best Carolina style BBQ around! We also love the sides! Get the Carolina plate on a Kaiser with slaw and pick two sides...delicious!

Tasty, cheap, filling. Surprisingly, the best thing on the menu was their chicken tenders! Large and homemade, crispy and moist. Their ice cream is also legit. Good value, nice service, and no wait to be seated. Sat our party of 8 without a problem. A really great option for those staying in Massanutten resort! Nothing fancy (all disposable cutlery and plates). read more

When we went they were short staffed but we couldn't even eat our food it wasn't good at all. The bbq was too vinegary the hush puppies were burnt and the coleslaw was watery. Don't waste your time! read more

Wow. They weren't open when we came here Sunday. Food is good as they reopened tonight.
