    Pulled pork sandwich
    Nakita C.

    Great customer service, they let us know they had almost sold out for the day but had a pound of pork left, all we needed for our pork sandwich we wanted! Boy that thing was so worth it, a good bang for your buck too, if we lived closer I would for sure come back.

    Don't let the exterior disuade you, the food here was amazing! Giant tender pulled pork sandwich smoked to perfection! It's a converted garage, inside is clean and service is quick and efficient , menu is limited but that's a goof thing they do one thing well and they know it, BBQ pure and simple

    Let's start off by stating the obvious. Bean's barbecue is in a garage. And the garage is door is open for business all year long. They even have a little sign up front at the register "Open Through Winter." I definitely think it's a point of pride. And hey, I'd be prideful if I was cooking outdoor barbecue from a smoker all winter long. That does take some dedication. You go up to the garage and there is a large black smoker sitting out front, that is even more so blackened by the amount of soot and ash caked on the outside, with a sign on the garage above a Pig with his behind on fire. If you didn't think you were in rural Virginia, you know now. But this place is simple, and there is something to be said for simplicity of perfectly barbecued pulled pork. The sauces are pretty delicious too. The mustard bbq sauce is unapologetically mustardy, but also well balanced. The original sauce is more tangy than sweet, but compliments the smokiness of the pork quite well. Let's talk about some ups and downs of this visit. And I'll go back and forth so they balance themselves out. - When we went, there were no other options than pulled pork. They were out of ribs at the time, and Brisket is only served on Thursdays. + The pulled pork was absolutely delicious. And the amount of pulled pork you get on a sandwich for 5 bucks is almost insane. It questions the margins of this business. - They only have 3 sides and one of those sides is packaged potato chips. Coleslaw, baked beans, and chips. + The beans were very good. They have pulled pork in them, I'm 90 percent sure. I'm not the biggest fan of vinegary slaw, but if you are, this is a solid rendition. - There are lots of flies... as you're basically eating outside + You're eating outside + The cashier was very friendly + The food is VERY quick to come out + Everything is super cheap + The place is generally pretty clean for being a garage + There is parking across the street and on the street + The buns are delicious and appropriately large + Yes, I'm talking about the bread Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    We had some pulled pork sandwiches and baked beans from here which were really good. They had a smoker out in front of the store which was cool. I would definitely recommend trying the pulled pork sandwiches here in you stop by Edinburg.

    Amazing, moist, pulled pork sandwich. True 'cue certified (real wood smoke only from wood or coals).

    Cash only!!! Rustic garage bbq joint. Sells out of ribs and brisket early every day. We were only able to order pulled pork sandwiches; now I know why they sell out, it was legit. Good smokiness on the pork, no sauce required, but they do have a few to choose from. Seating is limited to two tables. Most patrons carry out. Will come back again!

    Pulled pork sandwich with a side and coke, I think I love the coleslaw as much as the bbq!

    10/10 best bbq around! Huge portion, affordable price. I grab food from here anytime I pass through, I'm 1.5 hours away so I don't get to have it as often as I'd like.

    Bean's gets barbecue right. The pulled pork sandwich is hard to beat and the beans are fantastic.

    Food is always excellent! There's nothing on the menu that I wouldn't recommend, but the ribs are my favorite.

    It's a cool place for a pit stop!…read more Their fried oysters hit the spot but I'd skip the brisket next time. I saw someone chowing down on some ribs & fried chicken and I got jealous. Surprisingly, their habanero hot sauce was fantastic! I didn't see if they sell that stuff by the bottle but I'm sure they would hook you up with some. I got the impression that not many people show interest in it sooo, get on it! Their Cookies & Cream pie is meh but their blueberry pie, warmed up with a little whip cream hits the spot.

    The smell while driving by made us double back. From there we had very high hopes... we spoke to…read moreanother customer who suggested the pulled pork. We spoke to clerk who suggested the family sampler $49.99 It came with 3 meats - we chose Pork, Chicken and Brisket, hush puppies, 3 sides - we chose Mac n cheese, greens, French fries Here is where our review comes: keep in mind we are foodies and I'm from Smithfield NC Brisket- 2/10 very thin, it gets cold immediately, you can taste the smoke but need the sauce to eat it. It didn't hold favor. Bbq sauce is very watery. Not sure why. Pork- 1/10 we did not like it at all. It was different. Ground. Vinegar overpowers everything. I almost feel it could've been better but we just couldn't eat it. Chicken- 6/10 as a family we ate it. Would picture it in a taco being great. Again vinegar overpowers. Mac and Cheese- 3/10 too milky not enough cheese.... And a true sample. Maybe 2oz. For the price it wasn't worth it. Greens- 8/10 again too much vinegar but I'm a country girl we eat the greens Hush puppies 10/10 French fries 10/10 So all in all we would not stop here again. However the staff was friendly, the decor was cute and if it works for you, go for it! Honestly I'm disappointed that we didn't like it as much as we wanted to. But I promised to always be honest in my reviews. It's a pass if you are a foodie.

The brisket was smoked nicely I'd prefer it to been a little more seasoned but it was made up with the bbq sauce. Staff and service were really good and the interior had a nice vibe to it.

My southern roots have to say no to the collards. Sorry! It's nice that they have 2 slaws and a variety of pickles to choose from and the hush puppies were perfect. They offer a variety of sauces and I preferred the Carolina sauce with a bit of Virginia sweet. That said, the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. At around $90 for three people, it felt expensive for a very casual, counter-service setting. They have a quick order cafeteria style service with most sides and meats right there to serve from the ordering counter. They offer a variety of pre-portioned desserts, cold alcoholic beverages, and meats and sides in larger portions to go We chose to sit outside, but the noise level was a major drawback--constant truck traffic and a very loud motorcycle shop next door made it hard to relax or enjoy the meal. These are things that the exchange cannot control, so if noise is an issue for you, sit inside and you will have a different experience. Overall, decent food, but between the cost and the noise, it wasn't the experience we were hoping for.
