We ate there on 6/12/2026. I had the two meat platter, brisket and pastrami. The brisket was very tender but also very bland. The Carolina sauce is delicious. It goes well with the brisket. The pastrami is fantastic. We'll seasoned, very tender. They make the best pastrami in Northern Virginia. The Mac and Cheese was creamy, tender. It needed a little salt but still very tasty. The collard greens weren't anything special, the were a little bitter. The coleslaw was better last time we were there. It needed some salt and some vinegar. My wife had a loaded baked potato. She loved it. The potato was perfectly cooked. I would go back, just for the pastrami. read more

We stopped at ResQ BBQ for an afternoon appetizer run and enjoyed our time there. The restaurant was pretty slow at that point with one other couple at a table and few gents at the bar so the service was attentive to us as we walked in. Just a couple appetizers for us and we opted for the BBQ chicken quesadilla and the pulled pork nachos. Both were very good and your could tell the BBQ skills were quite good as the meat was very fresh and flavorful. The table had a few different sauces available which was perfect to mix things up and try the various options. The food did take forever to come out especially given the restaurant was not crowded at all. Not sure if regular service would have been quicker but if the place was packed and service was that slow it would be a pretty slow go getting your food. Loved the vibes in the place with a couple games on the television and complete with fire department badges from across the country on the wall. There was a strong first responder theme throughout that certainly gave you a lot to take in while in the restaurant. Would certainly check this place out again if back in the area. read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat after shopping at leesburg outlets. He loves bbq so I found this place and saw that it had great reviews. We ordered cheese fries and they were okay but pretty basic cheese fries. However, right when they came out we were swarmed with a bunch of gnats that wouldn't leave us alone. We ordered a meat platter and the appearance of the food was not appetizing at all. We couldn't even finish our food because our appetite went away from the gnats flying all over our food and landing on it. I spent the whole time killing them and swatting them away. The only good thing we experienced was our server who was super friendly. The restaurant itself was pretty empty and quiet and we should've taken that as a sign. read more

Solidly mediocre BBQ, especially for Loudoun County. My wife and I ordered 2 of the two meat platters; one w/ ribs and sausage, the other with pork and turkey. Sides were Mac & Cheese, Collards, baked beans, and green beans. It was bleh at best, and forgettable at worst. My sausage, aside from being room temperature when it arrived, tasted more like grocery store sausage than quality BBQ sausage. The ribs were ok, not terrible but not amazing. The pork needed more salt. The best meat was by far the turkey. As for the sides; the Mac & Cheese was on the bland side, the collards needed twice as much salt and/or bacon fat than they had, not to mention that they were warm not hot upon arrival, and the beans were mediocre. On the plus side, the place is lively and welcoming and our server was prompt, cheerful, and attentive, but there is def better BBQ to be found in the area. read more

This place was so yummy! And so quiet on a Sunday lunch! I got the bbq brisket salad and mmmm so good! We also had some chili dogs and nachos at the table. Our server was so nice. Would definitely return! read more

They are the best BBQ in Leesburg. The Brisket and sides are always good The high corn bread muffins are so freakin good!

Our go-to spot for BBQ in NOVA! We have eaten in and also had food catered for birthday parties. The food is SO good - chicken thighs are the best I've ever had. Service is excellent - and it's all around a fabulous spot for all of your BBQ needs!!! 10/10 highly recommend read more

Unnecessarily awkward menu that had to be explained. Draft beer list had bizarre "second" beer options which made little sense. Server struggled to explain that "if the advertised beer is out, then the (second) listed beer took its place." Three or four beers were out, so, you could consider the "second" beer in small print. Made no sense. Then there's the menu. There is a fireman tie-in to the restaurant. The menu is segmented into "one alarm," "two alarm," "three alarm," "four alarm" sections. 90% of the American population would naturally think this is a reference to spiciness but here, the server described the "alarms" as different "vibes." Again, makes zero sense. It took a while to see the menu was just a random assortment of food with no real cohesion or theme. Then there's the table sauces. I was actually pissed about this one. There are 6 or so sauces available to add to your entree. The "hot" sauce is advertised as their hottest. Should be a "4 alarm," right? It was medium at best (I am not a huge spice fan, but I like to sample hot stuff from time to time). The hot sauce was legit insulting. It is American medium. Just a waste of time and a complete disappointment. The family joked that Gordon Ramsay would totally berate and scold the owners of this trainwreck. There is no reason or logic behind the confusing menu. The food was fine, but I left knowing that I would not be coming back. Why waste my time with this silly menu?! read more

This place is SO LAME! I knew there was about to be some B.S. when the tray handed to me was so light!! $28 for 3 small ribs, a small piece of sausage cut into several pieces, greens and (if you can call this mac and cheese). It lacked ANY KIND OF FLAVOR! I started to refuse this order when tjis light tray was handed to me.....but I decided not to judge them based on that, thinking.....maybe the quality of the food was worth $28. NOT!!!!! Avoid this place. No wonder they were EMPTY! See the pictures... read more

The beef rib was excellent although expensive and they don't have them all the time. Coleslaw had a weird flavor, too much vinegar. Mac and cheese was very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, the experience was good. We'll have to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

love it. ate there all the time in TN. Former military and proud to eat at this place.

Went in for lunch. First time going here. Great first impression. Very welcoming host. Good selection of items on the menu. Service was on point. Bbq was good with great value for the price. Will be back. read more

I had a hankering for holiday BBQ ribs, so ordered delivery using Uber Eats, and was very pleased with the speed of prep and delivery, and the quality of the food. The ribs were moist with a good dry rub. I chose the sweet and mustard sauces which added flavor without overpowering. They offered gluten-free items including an enormous corn muffin and banana pudding dessert. Both were tasty traditional versions. For sides I had potato salad and Cole slaw. As with the muffin and pudding they were tasty classics. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing bbq, gluten friendly, kid/family friendly. Never too busy. Try the mule- very refreshing. Parking is great- location is nice. They even do catering! read more

Good place for BBQ meat lovers! They've got an expansive menu but I wanted to try their wings (smoked, then flash fried) and it was one of the best. The outside had that nice crisp'n crunchy layer and the meat was full of flavor. Next I tried their chili which is a must-try when you visit. They include every BBQ meat they smoke in this slightly, spicy chili (May set off one or two fire alarms). read more

This was by far one of the worst Doordash orders I have ever had. The potato salad was gross and had no eggs or scallions in it. The beans were not well seasoned the chicken and flank steak were both tough and dry. The mac and cheese was both nasty and bone dry. The sauces were the only thing that tasted like it was made with any regard. The bun was the only edible thing in my order. read more

This was our second time here. Brisket was good but the other meats were just ok. I liked the brisket on the Cobb salad Sides were not very good ( disliked mac and cheese) Location is ok but ambience is nothing special For the price, I would not recommend this place as there were up charges everywhere. ( 3 meals, all 3 waters, and soft pretzel appetizer: Total $100) read more

The BBQd meat wasn't exceptional but it was tasty. The portions were too small for the price and if they were to drop their prices by 30% I'd feel would be fair for the portions. Some of the sauces were exceptional and some of the best I've ever had. The restaurant itself was very clean with friendly takeout service, however, they use very thick, non-reusable styrofoam for their takeout orders. I appreciate that they have a great military discount. Pineapple sauce 10/5 amazing Apple sauce 5/5 Brisket 4/5 Turkey 3/5 Coleslaw 1/5 Mac cheese 1/5 Cornbread 2/5 read more

Always a good meal! Portions are large! My favs are the wings, baked potato with pulled pork, and their amazing Green Beans! Definitely order green beans for the table! read more

Went to hear local musician play and discovered new (to us) barbecue place with a true 'family' feel. Gluten free options, a myriad of different sauces and a wide menu including all the expected ribs, pork, chicken, etc. Ribs were cooked perfectly to fall-off-the-bone tenderness without being over cooked. Good variety on the beer/beverage list too. Service was team style so everyone from the owner to young trainees stopped by our table. In fact, the service really stood out. I never saw anyone not in motion. If they weren't serving, they were cleaning. We were sure that the hostess was a family member, as she literally cleaned floors, adjusted tables that were out of place, etc. A real sense of pride in the workplace. Room is noisy, but the noise was joyous and not overwhelming at the tables. read more

Full disclosure; I picked up the food to-go. I called in ahead and the gentleman was prompt and thorough over the phone. When I got there I gave the guy at the register my named then paid and my food was ready to go right away on a busy Saturday night. The appearance of the place was good. It felt cramped inside but that might have been because there wasn't an open seat in the whole place at 5:30 on a Saturday night. Bar was completely full and all of the tables from what I could see. I ordered the pulled pork platter with Mac and cheese with tots and I also ordered the brisket platter with Mac and cheese with green beans. The meats surprised me. The pulled pork was tender and slightly seasoned which was a change from what I've had in the past. The brisket was extremely tender and cooked well but it was basically shaved - super thin. The sides were nothing crazy in my opinion. Tots are tots. The green beans were cooked a little short for my liking but seasoned very well. The Mac and cheese had a real homemade feel to it - tasted good enough to eat but I couldn't taste the bacon. Major plus...they didn't skimp on the amount of food or serving sizes. The platters are $15+ and they put a ton of food in the containers. My wife and I both couldn't finish our meals...bonus lunch for tomorrow! From what I understand this was like a food truck for years and now a full up restaurant. I wish them the best of luck and I think I'll be giving them at least one more visit in the future to try some other things from their menu. read more

Very good food, excellent service. Spotless restroom. I went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was almost empty. If that matters.

Dropped in for a late dinner (9pm) on a Sunday night and was pleasantly greeted by the staff. The dining room was very clean, and would like to come by for a beer some other time. The staff member at the take out window was super helpful and shared a few good picks which we got and were happy with our choices. - Pulled pork sandwich (choose one side) w/ Mac and cheese - Brisket platter (comes with two sides) w/ potato salad and green beans All of the food came out fast, with plenty to pick from for two people. I'm all about the sauces, and was glad to see such variety - IPA, sweet/fire, Carolina and spicy. We live close by, so we will definitely be back another time to try the other items on the menu (loaded brisket tots sound amazing). read more

ResQ BBQ Catering - Pulled Pork Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, brisket 1 Meat Platter, Smoked Mac And Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

This was some of the best BBQ my extended family ever had! I ordered a bunch of things to cater a christening. Unfortunately, I provided ReQ with the wrong date, so when I showed up to get it there was no order ready. My fault totally! However, the crew did not miss a beat and asked if I could give them 15 minutes or so; they'd be able to complete it as their kitchen was turning things out all day. And so they did: brisket, pulled pork, chicken thighs, and sausage plus side ready to go. I ordered enough for 14, and it fed nearly double the portions. Brisket was my fave, and although I never liked Mac & Cheese, theirs was fabulous! As I waited, I noticed the ambiance inside was perfect, with lots of roomy seating and a large bar area. read more

I'll start by saying I'm a born and raised Kansas Citian, so I'm an admitted BBQ snob. I can usually find several good things to say about any BBQ spot anywhere in the country. However, all I can really say about ResQ is that I enjoyed one of the six sauces provided and one side was decent. My son and I shared a two meat platter with ribs and turkey. The ribs were mostly fat. The turkey was so dry it literally crumbled. We got the smoked Mac and cheese with bacon for one side. It had no smoked flavor and there was zero bacon to be found. It was basically mushy macaroni noodles with some kind of bland cheese. Literally NO flavor. My son loves Caesar salad so that was our second side. It was a large portion and very fresh. It was probably the best part of our meal, which is disappointing at a BBQ restaurant... The service was meh. Our server was kind but never came to check on us after our food was delivered and everyone's drinks had run dry halfway through their meal. Next time I'm in town, we will definitely try a different spot. read more

Thank you for all the gluten free options. The Mac and cheese tastes like regular Mac and cheese. The Kookie Brownie Sundae is Devine.

So Fresh, So Good.... 3 letters... YUM! This is not just a catering restaurant that can save your BBQ this is an every single night treat if you just want delicious BBQ. My go to is the loaded BBQ baked potato. My son fell in love with the bacon wrapped meatballs and now I steal two from him every time he orders them. My son LOVES the BBQ bowl as well. When you're not sure what appetizer you need to compliment anything you order... get the Candied Bacon! Amazing staff, amazing management. Just a delicious place to get an affordable fresh BBQ meal! read more

great time, fun place, the brisket was amazing! Collards and slaw where my favorite sides.

The food is so good and taste like on of the best bbq places I've had the service was very qui and efficient and the vibe was amazing they had anything u wanted to watch read more

Disgusting overheated food and horrible management. I've had bad bbq but this one takes the crown.

Excellent BBQ place. Can only speak to the brisket and the pastrami, and both were outstanding. Both were fork tender, as they should be. The brisket had a great depth of flavor, and the pastrami was meltingly sublime. There are eight different sauces to choose from. I stayed with the lower half of the hot scale; the IPA Infused and Smoked Apple are unique and worth trying. Owner operated, and it shows! read more

I've definitely had better BBQ food. The sides here are ok and so is the meat. I wouldn't say it's BBQ. The service was outstanding. You can take family, friends, etc here. It's very calm. I honestly would not come back here. read more

I called to inquire about which meat was the most tender...the lady poorly informed me. I ordered her recommendation and it was extremely disappointing. The chicken and brisket were too tough, with zero tenderness. The only plus for this experience is their atmosphere. Definitely not the food. The cornbread and greens were the only plus side of this meal. read more

+The beef rib had a nice smoke ring to it, which wasn't too overpowering. +The mac 'n' cheese was pretty good. -Some parts of the rib were quite dry and tough. -The collard greens did not really have much flavor to it. Overall, I would return to grab another beef rib or two, to-go. Check this barbecue food truck out! read more

This review is based on several visits. Overall this is a solid barbecue place. I absolutely enjoy the loaded nachos and I think it's a bargain for what you get. I really like the assortment of sauces which spans the gamut from sweet to hot and spicy. They have a great selection of alcohol and the service has always been good. My only complaint is the up charge for brisket. Seriously, you're a barbecue restaurant! read more

I'm giving my recent trip to their new storefront a 2 because that's the lowest I go when reviewing takeout food. Also, I've eaten ResQ BBQ in the past at the soccer field complex several times and from their smoker trailer at various places in Loudoun and never had any bad food those times. The new storefront just opened a week ago so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and chalk this one up to working the kinks out. Still, it was a big bummer to be so excited for them to be open and then get the quality of food we did. We will try them again in a few weeks and hope things improve. What we got: -beef brisket sandwich -bbq quesadilla w/ chicken -loaded bbq baked potato w/ pulled pork -smoked wings My wife's first bite of the brisket sandwich was a big fail as it was just a glob of fat that she then spat out in a napkin. She took the bun top off and spent a good 5 minutes picking out the meat from the fat. Some fat is fine and expected to get that good flavor, but I sure do wish I'd taken a photo of the pile of fat she had. She barely ended up with enough meat to make a sandwich but she said the brisket was as tasty as always. The sandwich comes with coleslaw + 1 side. She said their coleslaw was bland and just like eating a pile of wet cabbage this time. Ouch. Her other side was her favorite, mac & cheese, and she said it was as amazing as always. I had the loaded bbq baked potato with pulled pork and had no complaints. The pork was tasty and moist. Great flavor. I also had the smoked wings. I discovered smoked wings at Roots 657 and they have become my new favorite over traditional wings so I was excited to see them on the menu at ResQ. They advertise these as jumbo wings and oh yeah they are! If only they hadn't been like eating shoe leather. Nothing like the moist, juicy wings at Roots. I ended up picking at them and tossing the rest. *sobs* They came with the usual celery sticks and also some carrot sticks. Both looked as if they'd been prepped for days (white dried out look to the carrots and brown ends on the celery). The bbq chicken quesadilla is my kid's favorite thing but the one we ordered on this night was terrible. I gave it a try when he said he wasn't going to eat it, and no wonder. Again, the chicken was dry, hard, and leathery. There was zero flavor the meat was so dried out. We thought he was playing with his food but he was just trying to chew the chicken, it was that bad. Also, it hardly had any chicken in it. The chicken was concentrated in the middle and probably made up of 2-3 TBS tops. There was also no guac like was supposed to be included but we chalked that up to the avocado shortage. If this was my first time eating food from ResQ, it would be my last. Thankfully I know what they're capable of and they food they've served in the past. I look forward to trying them again in a few weeks and hopefully getting better food. I sure do hope they shake out these opening jitters and kinks! read more
