We went back! We ordered takeout from Canaan Valley BBQ, and it was outstanding! We had the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, and everything was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The baked beans and cornbread were excellent, too, and the brownie was a nice treat to finish the meal. It's clear this family-owned business takes pride in the quality of its food. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and will definitely be back the next time we're in Canaan Valley. Highly recommended! read more

Not welcoming at all. Food way overpriced and the menu is set up very strange. Expected a tip when you order at the counter, get your own drinks, to go boxes - everything. Just an odd business setup all around. read more

Ordered for a huge party and everyone was extremely impressed and loved it! I'm this was a phone order and the lady on the phone was great and helpful. It's a super casual spot great for take out or dine in. read more

Nice location and restaurant. Staff was pleasant and helpful. I wasn't crazy about the sauce but that's ok the food was cooked right and decent size portions. Thought the price was pretty high. read more

Gramma's green beans and the thickest baby back ribs I ever had. Meat pink, tender. That's hog done right! read more

Canaan Valley BBQ - Green beans and a half rack - Barbeque Near Me - Davis, West Virginia

This would've been a much higher rated review if just a few changes were made! The pulled pork sandwiches were huge and the meat was good, but both condiments we tried were inedible ... the Barbecue sauce at the table tasted like half brown sugar and half ketchup, way too sweet! The Carolina sauce tasted like half mustard and half mayonnaise... I'm from North Carolina and I've never tasted anything like that there! Coleslaw, baked beans, and service were average. If we go back we will just get the pulled pork to go and buy some barbecue sauce at the grocery store, which is what we ended up doing with the other half of our sandwiches we took home. read more

Delicious! Got into town late and didn't have many options, so expectations were low...boy, were we pleasantly surprised. We called ahead and 15 minutes later picked up pulled pork, ribs, baked beans, potato salad, and cornbread. Great flavor all around and the baked beans were a surprise standout. Atmosphere when we went in to pick up was warm and friendly and the place was sparkling clean - this is a local gem and we look forward to coming back! read more

First BBQ place I've been to where you don't get scammed for the price of the servings. Pretty good brisket!

my first yelp review. def don't come here and order anything except the fries and MAYBE pulled pork. We asked if coleslaw had a lot of mayo, girl said no, vinegar. Then it was actually more mayo than anything else. Cornbread = dry, the ribs needed a chainsaw to cut, mac and cheese was mush. Really wanted to like this place on our short weekend trip but I would not recommend. Attached a before/after of our ribs. Wouldn't be surprised if I threw up tonight from my 4 bites of ribs I did take lmaooo read more

This location used to be The Deerfield Restaurant and Pub. It was bought by a local guy, Matt Haverty, who grew up in the Canaan area; now a BBQ place. Son and I skiing at Timberline walked into the place a bit after 8pm. Only one family was inside eating and a young lady was cleaning and I asked if they were closed. She said getting ready to as they tend to close a little earlier in the winter due to slower business but she said we could order. We considered leaving but happy we stayed. I'm pretty picky on BBQ, but the brisket was amazing as were the smoked wings. They were very crispy. And the potato salad had quartered potatoes with eggs and was fantastic. The pork bbq was also delicious. We ordered at the bar and took a seat. Self serve fountain drinks and tea as well as grab your own utensils. This place did not disappoint. We may come back again while here for the next few days. I want to try the ribs. And the half chicken as that was sold out. read more

We waited for 30'minutes for Macaroninthat was pre cooked to be put into a container. We did stop in during the summer so probably short staffed, but ended up going down the road and had a great experience elsewhere. read more

Visited this place on Sunday for dinner around 5pm. They were out of almost all the sides, only fries left. Staff were a little inattentive but the food made up for it. Even though we couldn't try the classic sides like Mac and cheese and cornbread, we enjoyed the pork. It was very juicy and the bbq sauce was good. read more

Canaan Valley BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Davis, West Virginia

This place is a little hidden BBQ spot in West Virginia that I highly recommend. I've been here a few times now and it is amazing food and great prices for what you get. Each side is around $4-8 dollars but they are huge. Especially the fries which could feed about 2 people. I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Mac and Cheese and Fries. It was absolutely delicious. The servers and workers are all super nice and easygoing on top of everything. I encourage everyone to go try this spot if you are in the area or going to West Virginia on vacation! -Jacob Moore read more

Canaan Valley BBQ - Pulled Pork Sandwich, Mac and Cheese, Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Davis, West Virginia

We stopped into Canaan Valley BBQ for dinner in the middle of a winter storm that preempted our drive to the restaurant we had originally planned to patronize. Only a few other customers were in the restaurant. The staff was so friendly and helpful, bringing my daughter a sample of the mac and cheese when she could not decide on her side. The portions are HUGE, so we ended up with way more food than we could eat and left with two bags of leftovers, including a giant brownie that the kitchen staff brought out on the house, delighting my children. The dining room was spacious and clean, and the brisket was a crowd pleaser. The fries were crispy and delicious! We would definitely come back if we ever return to the Canaan Valley. read more

Decent place, but don't to go in with high expectations. Ribs are tough and hard to cut with a knife. Pulled pork was terrible but the brisket was pretty good. Wings were also good. Sides were all average to below-average (don't get the baked beans). Service was good and staff friendly. read more

A group of us had ordered large takeout from here for dinner on a Saturday. We ordered pork, chicken wings, brisket, mac and cheese, and French fries. The good: the smoked meats are the star of the show. They were juicy, flavorful, and made a great meal. The meh: the sides were a bit lack luster. Mac and was cheese just ok, the French fries were soft and would not order again, and the "spicy" bbq sauce just tasted like it had lots of pepper in it. There are definitely some good findings here and would recommend any of their smoked meats. read more

We stopped by for dinner last night. We tried the Pulled Pork sandwiches (which had a softball sized mound of meat), 1/2 rack of ribs, and six of their smoked, crispy wings with buffalo sauce and blue cheese and several sides: coleslaw, fries, baked beans, Mac and cheese. the side portions are also huge. We need to take about 1/4-1/2 the meal home. It all tasted very good. As tough as it is to make a go of a restaurant in Canaan/Davis/Thomas (given the wide off season/on season swings), it makes me happy that Canaan BBQ is around. The staff are all friendly, you order at the bar and they bring your food out to your table when it is ready. we also had several bar drinks, their Autumn drink which was rum based, a Beam and Ginger ale and a Gin and Tonic. All were quickly made and made well. The restaurant is rustic but nicely decorated and we enjoyed the atmosphere of watching several young families with kids with wide eyes as their huge portions hit the table. We'll definitely be back. Want to try the brisket and other dishes next time. read more

We went here with two families after night snow tubing. The place was busy, but the service was excellent. Pulled pork and bbq chicken was dry good, as was the Mac cheese on the side. Highly recommend. read more

Pretty good food and they were good about my food allergy! Not the most amazing BBQ I've ever had, but probably the best in the area. Staff was relatively friendly but could've been a bit more organized. Overall, I recommend eating here! read more

Food is A+. Chicken moist and tender. Brisket is thick sliced and oh so good! Only thing I'd suggest as an improvement is to have a more varied selection of sauces. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely eat here again. Heads up - bring cash. We fortunately did which is unusual for us. The credit card machine was down the night we dined here. read more

The food was absolutely incredible - but what really stood out was the amazing service. We happened to be here on a crazy packed weekend and the restaurant was very busy, so naturally we had to wait longer than anticipated. The owner went out of his way, knowing that we were apart of the group that had to wait, to come and check on us and the food and gave us a glass of wine on the house. It was above and beyond service, with amazing food to match. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone!! :) read more

We were visiting WV and saw the reviews of this place and thought why not. We ordered the half chicken and brisket sandwich, as well as Mac and cheese. To be honest the Mac and cheese was not that great, the sauce had a gel texture that wasn't very pleasant. The brisket was delicious as was the chicken. Not a very extensive menu, so not a great place for anyone with dietary restrictions. Portions were large, which was great. Masks required inside, takeout was easy (we just ordered in person and waited). All in all, for the restaurants in the area, I would recommend! read more

How on a holiday weekend can you run out of food??? Not just green beans and coleslaw but EVERYTHING including all the meats. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised because Canaan Valley BBQ has run out of items on other normal weekends. This is Labor Day weekend a qqq asap a aa they have run out of basic items from their menu. read more

Bartender was doing shot me customers while others waited for service. He was a mess. Food was cold. Cornbread was too hard to eat server took it back and said she would bring more but the horseplay in the kitchen was more important. Seemed like an employee m party instead of a restaurant read more

Super cute, newer looking restaurant on a side street "in town". Floors, bathrooms, bar were very clean. Limited menu but the pork was delicious and the green beans were yummy! Tasty local beers to boot! The serving of pork was huge!! I had leftovers for lunch the next day! read more

I'm a little picky when it comes to brisket's seasoning, taste, and texture, but this absolutely blew me away. It was phenomenal 10/10. Tried a dozen of the smoked chicken wings as well and also perfect. The blue cheese dressing has actual thick blue creek crumbles, which compliments the smoke flavor in the wings. We got our food to go and didn't take any photos, but this place is legit and literally some of the best BBQ I've had - ever! Damn good food and even reasonably priced in my opinion. Please go here! read more

Staff was great. Food was excellent. The only thing that needed help was the corn bread. I wouldn't recommend but everything else was so good! read more

Stopped in while in town on a weekend last month based on reviews here. They have a small menu and were out of nearly everything and it wasn't even dinner time yet. It's walk up with no table service but we were pressured to tip simply for ordering food. There is a large cup out with tips written on it for those paying with cash and for those paying by card, the check out screen defaults to a 20% or 22% tip. As I paid, the girl said, "can you answer this question" pointing at the tip screen then staring as we clicked to pressure us. This is an issue and entitlement of late that is becoming too frequent for me not to call it out. We were disappointed with the food and only ate half it before giving up and throwing it out. The coleslaw was heavily caked in mayonnaise and the meat wasn't good at all. My husband who bbqs pretty well said it was a rookie level error with the wood. Maybe it was an off day but I do not recommend this place. read more

The brisket and pulled pork are average at best. Whatever rub they use on the pork is very bland. The wings are nothing special, very little smoke flavor on them. I've had better frozen store bought cornbread. This normally would earn a 3 star review. The one star is due to the HORRIFIC customer service! We picked up a VERY large order for a friends wedding and were expected to supply our own foil pans! We were told the order would be ready at 5:00, evidently there was a miscommunication and they thought it was 5:30, it happens. At 5:30 they started packing the order, at this point we told them to hurry up since we were missing the wedding. Finally at 5:55 it was packed up and loaded. There was a very heated exchange of words including the acting manager telling us " I'm sure it's a very classy wedding" and insulted me by calling me a woman's name, no doubt because I was wearing a full kilt. I can't believe that a manager would disparage both my Celtic heritage and gender in today's world! Standing at the top of the steps waving and saying bye bye. Many people at the gathering are/were food service professionals, myself being an executive chef, couldn't believe the experience. I know choices may be limited in the area but I would recommend finding a establishment that doesn't charge a premium price for average food and that appreciates their customers a little more. I would never treat or allow any of my staff to treat a guest in such a way. read more

We stopped by after a long day at Timberline and ordered the full rack of ribs, cornbread, salad coleslaw, and the Mac and cheese. The cornbread servings were a lot bigger than we thought they would be! The cornbread was crumbly, which is how we like it, and went amazingly well with the coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The salad ingredients were fresh and was such a good blend. The ribs were delicious! We come from NoVA so there are a bunch of BBQ options in the area, but these could easily beat them all. The staff were all very sweet and welcoming, and the food came out in about 10-15 minutes. Can't wait to come back here again next time! read more

Small portions for a bbq place. Need more/varied sauces at the tables. I assume the sauce that is there is house sauce, but it didn't work as Carolina or Texas or Memphis so I was confused. Half chicken was dry. Staff is super super nice which made it a 4 star experience for us. I will take so so food and great service over great food and lousy service any day. In a town with limited choices, this place is a god send. read more

After a day skiing this is a quick place to get highlander quality food with nice service. Our family enjoyed chicken, pulled pork and nice southern sides. The cornbread is tasty and not overly sweet which is how we liked it. No collards read more

Food was so great! The pulled pork sandwich and macaroni was my favorite. Seems like it may be slightly under staffed but the service was still very friendly. Would definitely recommend to those staying in Canaan. read more

We got the meats...from CVBBQ. And we really enjoyed them. Baby back ribs were very tender and almost don't need sauce but they've got a tangy-sweet one. Chicken wings with buffalo sauce were also top-notch. Sauces come on the side, at least for take-out. This place takes pride in their smoker and meatcraft and it comes through in the flavors. Big dining room with bar, though we took out as we were staying nearby. Free refills on soda but it's a small cup for $3 - maybe don't get one if to go order. The baked beans were excellent (potato salad in pic isn't from there). Corn bread...not so much. Can't wait to try some other sides and meats when we will go back! read more
