We stopped here after a hike and figured this place would be amazing when we saw it was a tiny spot on the side of the road. And we were right! This definitely wasn't a chain restaurant! We got the pulled pork sandwich in a combo and were amazed with the portion. This was one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I had ever had! And the cornbread cupcake things included were incredible. The staff were very friendly and I was impressed with how they handled the amount of people ordering from this little building. The outdoor seating was nice and there were quite a few tables. Overall this is an easy 5/5 stars! read more

I really wanted to like this place based off all the other reviews. We got Ribs and the Tri Tip Sandwich. If you're looking for ribs that are fall off the bone tender, these are not it. Sauce was good. I wish they offered a dry rub so you could enjoy one of the other sauces more. The Sirloin sandwich was a complete miss for me. A lot of meat on the bun. Tried to take a bite and several times bit into meat too tough to even bite through. Ended up eating the meat piece by piece instead. I asked for Carolina sauce to go with it, the sauce I got was like straight vinegar? I'm not sure if there was some sort of mixup there. The cornbread and coleslaw were very good! read more

Food: 5/5 If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would. This was better than the BBQ in Austin Texas I waited an hour for, and this only took 5-10 minutes per order. We got the smoky sampler, side of potato salad, 2 corn muffins, and 2 additional sauces (crown sauce and hot & spicy). A must-try is the ribs, I haven't licked a bone clean that quick in a while. Crown sauce is a sweet sauce while the spicy sauce is perfect for when you want an extra kick, but not an aggressive kick. Sides were great, and my potato salad expectations are higher than ever after that meal. Corn muffins have a little sugar sprinkled on top. Service: 5/5 the only issue is that this place is not open 7 days a week, just Fri-Sun. Server was kind and the other employees that walked by the table asked how we were doing multiple times. Ambiance: this is a food truck with outdoor seating, which is about 8 picnic tables all with umbrellas. read more

Triple Crown BBQ - Smoky sampler, 2 extra sauces orders (4 cups), side of potato salad and 2 corn muffins - Barbeque Near Me - Luray, Virginia

3.5 stars. Perfect pit stop after hiking at Shenandoah. I was so hungry I forgot to snap a photo. They have great hospitality, the owner was chatting it up with everyone. I was a little let down by the food given the high ratings. There are a few stands out, such as the corn bread and the chicken. They know how to do chicken - it was juicy and well seasoned. This was the star of the show. The pulled pork sandwich is phenomenal as well. I thought the ribs and sausage were standard but the beans, coleslaw and potato salad were not good. I got the crown sauce and hot bbq sauce - I would skip the hot one next time. It's super vinegary and has no bbq taste. Go with the crown sauce forsure! Sweet tea is delicious and a nice way to wash down the meal. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Triple Crown bbq in Luray. The food was excellent, but the ribs truly stole the show. I've traveled extensively and lived in several countries, and these are by far the best ribs I've ever had--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. Every bite was memorable! The service was warm making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you're in Luray. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food is great! It smells so good and the service is very nice, and nice people. We were very full. read more

Stopped in around 1pm for lunch on a Saturday. There was a line of about 15 people when we arrived but it was moving at a steady pace. I waited about 10 minutes in line to order and another 10 minutes for our food to be ready. Triple crown BBQ definitely lives up to its glowing reviews! For $15 I got the 1/2 chicken combo meal that fed me for two days. The chicken was a big portion & delicious. The baked beans tasted like Smokey apple cider which I loved. And the potato salad was standard. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich combo for $18 which includes 2 sides and a drink, he was very satisfied with his meal. Although it was only 1pm they were already sold out of their corn muffins, I'll have to come back to try them! Seating is all outside, with limited parking on the premises. They do a great job at wiping down dirty tables quickly and emptying the trash bins. Everyone working was very nice and this location is dog friendly! Definitely stop by if you're in the area and hungry for some good BBQ! read more

Amazing everything. Sauces were great, ribs were fantastic, whole staff was incredibly nice.

Barbecue isn't meant to be consumed in fancy restaurants, it's a parking lot food. This place delivers on the ambiance - and more importantly the barbecue. Great selection, sausages, chicken, ribs, brisket, pulled, turkey plus good sides. And the people are nice. Whether you're just visiting the sights or hungry after a day on the river this place delivers. read more

Very delicious. I had a tri-tip sandwich, which is served cold. I greatly appreciated that on a hot day. They also have 5 or 6 different BBQ sauces you can choose from. And the prices here are good, especially having driven in from Washington DC (which is stupid expensive). Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture because I was busy eating my delicious sandwich. I suspect most people who visit the caves and uses Yelp will end up here. read more

Great food for a great price! Highly recommend the banana cream pie if it is available that day.

Found this place during me and my boyfriends visit to Shenandoah. This place was realllllyyyy good. As out of towners, we weren't sure what to expect and couldn't decide what to order, so we ordered the sampler. Unfortunately, they were out of the chicken and so we had to substitute for sausage. Personally, we weren't big fans of the sausage, could have been cooked a little longer. It didn't really have that smokey taste we were hoping for.The ribs, pulled pork, and tri-tip were top-tier. The sides we chose were really good too. They were out of the baked beans too, sadly. Overall, yes it's a food truck, but a very good one. The service was quick and the employees were very kind. If I ever visit Shenandoah again I would come back for more. read more

Triple Crown BBQ - Smoke chicken and Sandwiches Tri Tip Sirloin - Barbeque Near Me - Luray, Virginia

Great stop after Luray Caverns! We tried their pulled pork and chilled tri-tip sirloin. I thought having the tri-tip sirloin chilled would be off putting but to my surprise it was fine and delicious. The meats were all tender and flavorful and their homemade sauces were delicious. It's hard to make a mustard BBQ sauce and they nailed the recipe. Their baked beans were one of the best I've had. It was unique in that they had chunks of apple in there. The corn bread was just okay. I highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area! read more

This is a really nice pit stop before visiting Luray Caverns! It is only 4 minutes down the road. When we pulled up, the owner (I'm pretty sure that's him) waved to us and said hello. He was super friendly and you could tell that he enjoys what he does. I am not sure if it was family owned and operated but this little BBQ spot is wonderful and feels like it is! It's always a good feeling to support small businesses. There is an area to sit outside with tables equipped with umbrellas to keep you cool in the summer. FYI-- there are no restrooms on site but just a stone's throw away is the subway attached to the gas station and they let you use the bathroom in there (I'm sure they are used to it with this BBQ place right next door). When we went on a Sunday around 12:30pm, it was not busy-- only us and a few other people. We ordered the sampler for 24.00 and the pulled pork sandwich for 10.00. I am not really a BBQ lover but I found this place for the rest of my family. The sandwich was really good-- the bun was so soft. My mom really enjoyed their corn muffins. We even took some BBQ to go! read more

We were out here to see the Luray Caverns. We did the long guided tour and by the end we were STARVIN! I recommended we find some roadside bbq as it's something you just can't get up in DC/NY/PHI. This happened to(thank god) be the place that came up first. When we got there the first thing I realized was the service was perfect. Walked us through the menu and what they recommended really well and told us to wait by the tables. The food came quick, hot, and tasty. I recommend any bbq lovers get the chicken, the black pepper glaze that it comes with was to die for. The sides were packed with flavor just like they came from your grand mom's kitchen. Most importantly the beans were full of bacon grease and brown sugar/maple syrup. The view from the road of the neighboring hills was fantastic, great ambiance. I can't recommend triple crown enough, the manager cam by and asked how everything was to everyone that had ordered which was a really nice touch. If you read this you gotta come here. read more

Sweet tea is great, ales beans are ok, corn bread is awesome butter would make it even better, sauce is trash but that all sauce in Virginia, ribs are trash, sauces are excellent! Chicken was surprisingly good, pork is ok steak is amazing especially with their hot sauce read more

The best barbecue pork sandwich I've ever had potato salad just as good. I rate it a 10 stars.

Yeah, this is the place to stop if you love bbq. Its a stationary food truck with umbrella covered outdoor seating. Our family got 1/2 rack of ribs, sausage, tri-tip sandwich, corn muffins, potato salad, coleslaw. After trying all the items, id happily get them all again. The tri-tip had a nice smoke ring, the outside had a very peppery edge. It was a cold sandwich but full of flavor. The sausage came in a bun, my son really liked it. My 1/2 rack of ribs came smothered in wet bbq sauce. They have a lot of bbq sauces to choose from for people that want sweeter or spicier or vinegar based sauces. This place was great, id gladly come back. read more

Delicious barbecue right out of a truck. The perfect stop after a hike or just driving through town. We absolutely loved everything and will be back! read more

This is a must go bbq place if you come to visit Lurray Caverns or hike in the valley. The hours limited and there are always lines for a reason. The bbq is GOOD! I've tried a variety in the area and it is definitely the best. There aren't any bathrooms and if you come in the summer it's going to be hot. However, the sweet ice tea isn't very sweet and very refreshing. My fiance and I have come both our times visiting Shenandoah and it's been the best food spots in both our visits. read more

The food was delicious and the owner was very friendly! If I ever return to this area again, I'll definitely stop by again.

Decided to stop here to grab a quick lunch while in town to resupply food for our camping trip in Shenandoah National Park. This place is so good that it's worth a trip out of the park just for lunch! I was not too hungry so I opted for a pull pork sandwich. Little did I know that this sandwich would be the size of my head! It was juicy, flavorful, and was the right ratio of pulled meat/burnt end pieces. I also had a side of their signature sauce...sweet, spicy, vinegary goodness! If I am ever in the area again, I would definitely come back! read more

Way overpriced. Limited menu, even for a food truck. Waited forever, and then the server who is also the owner was rude.

This was the best bbq I have ever had. The ribs had amazing flavor and fell off the bone. I normally don't like chicken, but the smoke chicken was incredible. We plan on coming back every time we goto the Shenandoah. read more

All the food was good! My favorites were the ribs, coleslaw and baked beans! Definitely a place to grab some good BBQ!

We'd been camping for 3 days so any food someone else prepared was going to be perfect. We found Triple Crown and decided to give it a try...we weren't disappointed. We both ordered the pulled pork and 2 sides, with a side order of corn muffins. The pork sandwich was heavy with filling with the Crown Sauce to top it off. The sides: beans, slaw, and potato salad were all really good. The beans were a bit sweet for me, I prefer more smokiness in the flavor. The corn muffins were lite and fluffy with a touch of sweetness. Highly recommend! read more

This is one of those spots...no thrills, but you see a long line waiting for whatever is being dished out, and you just know that the food is going to be fire. Just look at the faces of everyone else in line with you, and you'll immediately see the quality of food that Triple Crown has been delivering to the community. I know I've mentioned the line twice now, but with that said, it moves pretty quickly and they have a QR code to scan a menu or you can view it as you're waiting at the order counter. They have a nice selection of barbecue meats: from pulled pork, to smoked chicken, to ribs to tri-tip. They have their own selection of sauces as well which they help pair for you. I found it really hard to make up my mind on what to order but I heard the grill master mention something to the guy in front of me about needing to get the tri-tip sandwich so that's the route I went; along with trying their sausage. Everything that I had was delicious. Even their sides hold their own ground. For the town of Luray this is definitely a stand out spot whether you're a local or a visitor, you have to cross this off the list. There is outdoor seating, so if you couldn't wait to eat it until you got home, you shouldn't have a problem. BEWARE - they only sell what they have, and what they have can go quick, so try to get there on the earlier side if you can. read more

Family run, hidden gem BBQ. We came here after visiting the Luray Caverns, about a three minute drive down the road, and it was incredible! They take credit cards and cash. The family that runs the station is very sweet and the bbq food is the best I've ever had! Ribs fell right off the bone. Smokey meat sampler, side of potato salad, Cole slaw, and sauces. The meat fell right off the ribs and the pulled pork is to die for. I am not a bi fan of potato salad but their homemade p.s. was incredibly delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be going back if we ever visit Shenandoah valley again! read more
