I've been on a BBQ kick this month. So I always notice the gas station with the big pig on the side of the building. So I stopped to see what they had at Malbon Bros. You order in the back of the gas station at the window. They also had some premade items like pulled pork, pulled chicken, coleslaw, potato salad and other items in the fridge for take-n-go. They serve sandwiches, platters, and sides. I got the pulled pork which didn't look appealing at first in the fridge, but the lady let me try it and it tasted good. I got Mac n cheese, greens, and potato salad with hush puppies. The hush puppies were good, they're kind of smaller than what I thought they'd be though after seeing pics on past reviews. I wish I'd ordered extra because I did like them!! The pulled pork was tasty with the sauce I got on the side, with a slight vinegar taste. The greens and macaroni were ok, but the greens had huge stalks in them and the leaves were pretty big. I'd prefer them cut smaller, but they weren't bad. Chewing the thick part of the stalk was a little weird. But with hot sauce it worked out. I like that the macaroni was cheesy, it was slightly bland but I liked it anyway. The potato salad was decent, it would have been better if the potatoes were cooked longer, a few potatoes were hard/raw. Even with my complaints, it was still pretty decent food that satisfied my craving. The prices were reasonable. They also sell breakfast and have a few desserts. They have indoor and outdoor seating if you want to dine there. I took the ticket to the front to pay. The guy at the register just wasn't welcoming. He didn't say hi or address me, he stuck his hand out for the receipt and took my money. Kinda short. But other than that I'd go back. Check them out!!! read more

Fantastic! First time I've ever had your BBQ. Love the sauce, great spices and we have enough BBQ left over for a sandwich tomorrow. Quick delivery. Thank you. We will definitely order again. read more

One of my favorite places in Virginia Beach. There is a lot of things going on so I'll check off a couple. 1. Breakfast. My favorite meal. They do it right. If you know how great has station biscuits with sausage egg and cheese can be....then you know. And these are on point. If you want to settle in to a tasty platter of sausage gravy, yep yep. 2. The BBQ is quite good. The style reminds me of deep South, with less vinegar and sweetness. Be a hero and get a couple pounds of pulled pork and take it home. 3. Need gas or to wash your car. Got that covered. It's great to have a place like this in the city and locals should definitely appreciate this place. read more

I've never been in this place before, always talked about stopping to see what's going on inside. Well it's a gas station, car wash and has a bbq restaurant also. It's clean inside regular set up of a gas station has some tables for dining in as well as seating outside. The service was good everybody was nice I'm not sure of the ladies name but she was nice, nice enough to let my sister have a little taste of an item before she purchased it. She had the pulled pork macaroni and cheese with greens. Now her plate looked good but the greens were just a bit different for me they leave the stem and didn't really cut them up well. Now the only thing that I wanted was the hush puppies and my goodness hot and fresh they were so good. I'd come back just for the puppies y'all. read more

The location is located inside a gas station. But they close at 7pm. Not 11pm. Seemed like a good spot and they do offer pre-packaged options to go. But I was going for something fresh. read more

We love supporting local, family-owned businesses, and Malbon Brothers BBQ is one we truly want to see thrive. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and when they're on point, the food is really good. That said, our last few visits have been a little inconsistent. The brisket was extremely saucy -- to the point that it felt more like soup with beef in it rather than sliced brisket. We also didn't receive our onion rings (which are an up-charge), which was disappointing. The hush puppies and corn dog nuggets were unfortunately overdone and borderline burnt. We'll definitely be back because we've had great experiences before and love what they bring to the local food scene. Just hoping for a little more consistency moving forward! read more

Very friendly atmosphere. Kitchen is in the back portion of the store. Food tasted great! Will definitely return . read more

Unfortunately, they are going down! I've been there a few times and today was my last! BBQ pork is just okay and went to use their failing carwash! Went to wash my car and half of their options on the self car wash were not working. If you have to have a car wash it should be working. If not close it permanently. The attendant doesn't care at all and was blowing all of the trash on the ground toward the bushes in the back of their property! Malbon sucks! read more

1st time here, we got the BBQ/Brisket platter, pigwhich, and kids chicken nuggets. Everything was delicious! Different BBQ sauces, Mac n cheese, coleslaw, and hush puppies. Kids loved the thick fries. Perfect easy dinner after a fun day outdoors. We will be coming back! read more

Malbon Bros - Food was too good to take a pic first. Update: Macncheese is gone! - Barbeque Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Came in to save the day! $10 all you can eat pulled pork, coleslaw, Mac & Cheese, baked beans AND a roll.... I personally favor creamy mac and cheese over baked, so their white cheddar mac and cheese was a hit! My 7 year old had SEVERAL plates. The coleslaw was homemade and had great flavor. Pulled pork was wonderful! (I think my teenage son had 3-4 plates) I saw the all you can eat thing on Facebook, and we tried it out after a failed event earlier in the day that left everyone tired, starving, and pretty cranky, they did not disappoint! Will definitely be back read more

Malbon Bros has the best barbecue sandwich. It is so unique and so different than any other BBQ I have ever tried. They have 3 different size sandwiches to meet the size of your appetite. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is a very nice place for some good barbecue I have been up here working for about 3 months all of the staff is amazing the manager Jenn is very down to earth and does her job very well she has a signature grilled cheese sandwich if you're ever in there ask her to make you one you will not regret it read more

Great BBQ! Served hush puppies with butter! Yum!. Fast service, hot food . Sitting area in a convenience store.

Love malbons for all my one stop shop needs. I've never actually had their bbq, but I hear it's amazing. I come here for gas and beer so I can't speak to anything else. The employees are always so friendly, no matter what time of day I come in. It's on the other side of town from me now, but whenever I'm back over there I make sure to go. Next time I'll try their bbq. read more

Lipstick on a pig BBQ literally sucks. Google Carolina BBQ and learn how to make it. Car wash. Automatic rips parts off. Way to pricey. Self wash lanes are filthy. Always something not working then have to switch spaces which is wasting your own money and time. Dirt and trash is always on the ground which means it sprays up on your vehicle. Vacuums aren't powerful. Or not working. Starting to look like personal junkyard with boats and campers. Oh yeah. No more 20 off a Gallon with a car wash why? Because their cheap crappy car wash is less expensive to THEM then 20 cents of a gallon. Last time I'm going there. read more

Racist. Bigot. Don't eat there. Horrible people with assault weapons. Playing tin solider for trump. https://www.threads.com/@malbonback40

Ribs I got were so dry and our drinks were wrong. I was also unimpressed with the owner, the way that he spoke to his staff had me thinking that he's not a great guy read more

Love going to Malbon's for a variety of reasons. Convenience is the main theme for every service whether it's a quick gas-n-go or stopping in for a quick cup of coffee or taking a break on a busy day to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or maybe an anytime snack. Food is hot and fresh, BBQ is superb and their beef brisket is fantastic! Car wash is functional and my understanding is this area will soon be updated. Lotto tickets are popular here with several big winners. This is a true Virginia Beach owned and operated business with deep ties to our community - local police + city workers are regulars so you know the food is good! read more

20 dollar car was took all of 30 seconds and was a absolute waste of money the quality of their products have decreased consistentlly.

I ordered the beef brisket platter in the barbecue. Spareribs platter comes with two sides and a drink. No drinks came with it. No condiments of anything came with it. The bag was wide open. They came in three Styrofoam boxes that weren't even taped shut. Very disappointed. read more

They have a very nice staff. i eat here most days and the food never gets old and they it fresh and hot very fast. i wouldn't recommend any other restaurant. Its amazing and great people. read more

I never thought I would be rating a gas station but Malbon's is always great. #1 They have happy hour for gas where it is a little cheaper. My husband and I meet up there to fill both vehicles at happy hour. With a fill up you get deals with food and car wash #2 They have a wonderful car wash area. You can get a discount by filling up with gas. Lots of options from self service. That you can wash it yourself, vacuum it yourself, and dry it yourself. To auto car wash. Even with that there are many options. #3 They have a mini restaurant inside. We eat here all the time and you can get it to go. Food is consistently good. We really like the BAR B Q sandwich. Oh and I can't forget this. If you don't want to cook. They have an area that you can buy containers of their BAR B Q. There has been many times I have not felt like cooking and this is always a family favorite at our house. We have even taken it to a cook out before. I would give Malbon's a 5 star just for the food alone. I like the BAR B Q. After all these year they have been consistently good. read more

Pretty good bbq and sides. Pre sauced bbq was little stringy pulled bbq. Not minced. Sauce Bbq sauce I tried Tillis Carolina style. It was a little too spicy for me. And more vinegar than mustard. Some Carolina style is more mustardy than vinegary. Sides macaroni salad and coleslaw I thought were good but not special. Same thing for the hush puppies. Overall good value and decent size portion for the money. Bbq if not presauced I'd like better and less stringy. read more

I been going here for breakfast now for 2 months since I started working at the new Amazon construction on Dam neck Rd. Me and my co workers have one of the best breakfast and we haven't had any complain over the service or food. The pricing and quality of the food is perfect. So do recommend this place for breakfast , lunch, and dinner. Two read more

The breakfast and lunch counter are an overlooked treasure. Place your order to go on Toast, and pick up within minutes. Food is delicious.

It was ok. It's cheap. I had gotten a brisket platter with green beans and mac n cheese for the sides. The brisket was not discernible. and seemed like pulled pork instead. The green beans were salty and the mac n cheese plain. The sauce provided was heavy handed with the vinegar and worked in small doses. I liked the hush puppies. Those were hot and made fresh. And butter makes everything better. Except for the rest of that meal. It wasn't inedible so I can't knock it much more but it certainly needs work to be honest. I wouldn't stop in again. read more

Fuel up, wash your car and get your BBQ grub on all in the same location. Is this heaven? Located directly across the street from Green Flash Brewery which is very convenient considering they do not serve food. The parking lot has always had plenty of pull up spaces in front. Some mo or debris had been viewed on occasion, even by the door. The small bbq joint is in the corner of the store and has set down counter and a few booths. The menu board is quite explanatory, huge and even offers a huge breakfast menu which seems to be a secret. The cleanliness at the counter has been suspect a few times, the tables and floor clean. The service has always been prompt and friendly on every occasion. The system works like this. You order at the counter for here, or to go. Take the receipt and pay at the cash register by the door. The clerk will provide a paid receipt for your food pick up. My last order. BBQ Brisket Platter, french fries, baked beans & hush puppies. Those hush puppies are life-changing I tell ya. A 20 oz fountain drink is included. A steal for 9.49 that's huge and scrumptious! This restaurant may be in a gas station, but forget the location and be prepared to enjoy some delicious bbq. Malbon also will cater your event. A 3.5, rounding up and will be back soon. read more

Best bbq around! A little pricy for gas station bqq.But hands-down the best barbecue in the Virginia Beach

You can't beat their breakfast prices and the food is delicious. Those collard greens are magic. I absolutely cannot stand crunchy, bitter collards and these are silky smooth and delicious! Seasoned to perfection! read more

We went to Malbon for the first time last week and we were impressed by the local barbecue,the cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff. I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had the pulled chicken platter. The brisket was tender and tasty. The sides: hush puppies, baked beans and fries were all first rate. We live close by and will definitely be back! read more

Best barbecue in the area. The Malbons are a multi-generational family, know for their pig farms and barbecue. They've been in business in Virginia Beach since I was a child. They are known for their good barbecue. Their gas station/diner is super tiny, old school, and has a good size menu of southern comfort foods. One of the few places where you can get a Taylor's Pork Roll sandwich. They're not fancy but it's the next best thing to home cookin'! You can't miss this spot...just look for the giant pig! read more

I'm usually ready to try something new and as I'm exhausting breakfast spots in Virginia Beach (at least in the part of town where I'm staying and working), I had this place show up in a search. Sure, it's not just a BBQ place but it's a BBQ PLACE IN A GAS STATION! How can anyone possibly say no to that? So I popped in, took a seat at the counter, looked over the menu, and ordered the BBQ omelet. Yes, a scoop of pulled pork is grilled to eating temperature and then rolled into a three egg omelet and served up fresh. I've never had one of these before, but it was excellent and I could totally do this again. A lot of food, very inexpensive. And no waiting for coffee refills. It's a gas station/convenience store so you get your own coffee anytime you like. After I'd finished my delicious and very filling meal of omelet, hash browns and white toast, I left a few bucks for the cook, topped off my coffee and was on my way. Ambiance leaves a little to be desired but can you really expect fine dining from a counter in a convenience store? No. read more

So it's been a while since I've posted a review considering We have not really been eating out. So if my wife's Birthday we decided to give Malbon Brothers a try. We called the order and I paid when I got there, but cooks had no idea about my order, but I heard them talking and said this was another order they had no idea that was being picked up. However they did not let that phase them. It took about 15 mins to get my order ready. Thier service was fantastic once the order was ready they brought it to my car and loaded on the car for me. We ordered one of their party packages. We got 2.5 lbs Pork BBQ, 2.5 lbs Chicken BBQ, 2.5 lbs Beef Brisket, 2 lbs Coleslaw, 2 lbs Baked Beans, 2 lbs Mac & Cheese (and we ordered an extra lb because my family loves Mac & Cheese) , 2 Dozen Rolls, & 2 Bottle Billy's Pig Pickin Sauce. Overall the taste was great. For me personally I like my pork a little more "Stringy" with some actual chucks of pork left in the pulled pork not quite so cooked down. The chicken and beef had great flavor and texture more to my liking. I especially liked the saucue. I grew up out in the midwest so I am pretty picky on what BBQ I will eat. We will eat there again I just won't have the pork. So definitely give them a try. read more

From start to finish, my interactions with everyone was FIRST rate!! I placed a catering order for 50 people and everything was delicious. We had some restrictions due to allergies, and the staff at Malbon Bros went above and beyond to make sure the food items were safe for my guests. We were down in Virgina Beach for a Wrestling tournament, and two days before pick up, I requested to have my order split into two pick up times due to the wrestling schedule. The food was ready at both pick up times, and hot and delicious. I had ordered two party packs and there was more than enough food for the meal as well as leftovers for lunch the next day. We will definitely be using Malbon Bros during our future trips to Virgina Beach. The favorites for our guys was the brisket and the mac n cheese. read more

Got a Groupon at this place for "Family BBQ Meal" and Carwash. The family bbq meal was priced at $24.99 and the drive thru Carwash was priced at $22.00. Food - the portion of food that was given, wasn't even worth $15 if that. I saw tons of reviews saying this place has the best bbq, I'm sorry but I highly disagree. The pulled pork was WAY too sweet, I mean how much sugar do you put in your sauce? The cole slaw was runny and flavorless, the baked beans were decent but that was the highlight of the meal, which is sad in itself. Carwash - in no way, shape or form is this a $22 wash. Drive thru and my car is STILL dirty?!?? Jeezus Christ how in gods name are you still in business. Service - much like all the service you get in Virginia, mediocre if that. I waited 15 minutes to even be acknowledged. Glad I paid for this discounted through Groupon, because I would not pay for this otherwise. I wouldn't even buy another Groupon from this place, utter disappointment. read more
