Found this place on Yelp... obviously. And.. it was incredible. Pointed out soccer team to this place for a team lunch. Everyone loved it. Thanks to them as well for opening up their back room to fit all the girls. Great staff - very friendly. It's a smaller place. But that doesn't detract at all. Now the food. Insanely good. I had the brisket sandwich and it was full of meat and had onions and Cole slaw. Added on the sweet bbq and it was so good. People raved about the Cuban. The hush puppies were a fan favorite. The peanut butter pie and key lime pie were to die for. The Mac and cheese was excellent, as was the cowboy beans and potato salad. If I lived here it would be one of my favorite places to go. Go on in and hit this place if you are in the area!! read more

Deep Run Roadhouse - Bbq Beef Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ordered an Uber Eats delivery from here & they did not disappoint! Did the small family pack, smoked fried wings, an extra mac & cheese & it was the perfect amount for our family of 2 adults & 3 young kids. -Pulled pork: fantastic, smoky, & so tender. -Southwest slaw: highly recommend this as a side! A slaw with corn, beans & peppers which adds a nice sweetness & heartiness compared to a regular slaw. -Waffle fries: solid & a crowd pleaser with the kids. -Mac & cheese: Nice & creamy. Kids also loved this. -Smoked fried wings with cherry bourbon sauce: juicy & generously sized. Delicious glaze on it. Everything was well packaged. One of the best BBQ joints we have tried & will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

Omg 10/10!! Highly recommended. Not like all the other bbq places we have been and it's been many and not just in VA. They do sell out pretty quickly. Love the fact everything was à la cart. Me and hubby ordered brisket, wings, pork, ribs, Mac n cheese, cowboy beans, greens, sweet cornbread and waffle fries and only spent 55.00 a with 2 drinks and we have left overs. Man no need to second guess if u should go here it is a MOST DEFINITELY MUST GO!!!! read more

Deep Run Roadhouse - Outside - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

TLDR; so good we went two days in a row! The trainwreck bowl gives you everything you need to satisfy your barbecue craving. Vibe - we ordered takeout which was super easy and quick! The restaurant is a good size with plenty of space to sit and eat. Food - we ordered two trainwreck bowls which come with a generous portion of Mac and cheese, beans, cornbread and protein. It's the perfect mix! For meat we ordered one with chicken and one with brisket. The brisket is delicious with an ever so slight kick. If you have a very low spice tolerance, consider the chicken! My ONLY complaint is that the sauce that comes with the bowl is TINY. Next time I'll be sure to request two. read more

Visiting from San Diego and kind of on a BBQ crawl this was our 4th BBQ spot on this trip and was easily our favorite. I ordered a half slab of ribs,2 brisket sammies and their loaded fries with brisket. Everything was exceptional the brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth and the prices were super reasonable for what you get very generous servings. No place within 120 mls comes even close to this in San Diego and there's a place called Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano that somehow got ranked very highly by Teacas monthly that has a line down the street that charges more that doesn't come close to this place. We walked right up to the counter and got our spread within 15 minutes here. read more

BEST BBQ in the Short Pump area - Richmond - area!! Upon walk in, you smell that barbecue smoke. That's the sign of fantastic Q. Great value too!! My go to -- sliced beef brisket. Fatty moist please. Delicious. Smoked for hours. Tender. 14 hours to be exact of smoke. Black pepper. Amazing bark. No sauce. Texas style. You can get lean. But fatty has all of the flavor. BBQ sauces -- Carolina -- vinegar based. Spicy. With a little kick to it. Not sweet at all. Several other sauces to select from. Mild is good too. Lots of free parking. I always get several pounds of the fatty brisket to go. Now I'm hungry!! Will return. Support this small business!! There is other traditional BBQ fare too. read more

Amazing BBQ! Whenever I'm near Richmond, I make sure to stop by and get the brisket tacos.

Some of the most affordable BBQ in Richmond and up there with some of the best! Only $47 for 1/3 lb brisket, 1/3 lb pork, 4 wings, large jalopeno mac n cheese, small fry, and two pieces of cornbread. Out of everything, my favorites were the mac n cheese and cornbread (with the honey butter). Out of the meats, the wings were my favorite but the brisket was a close second. Everything was so good and so well priced, we'll definitely be back. read more

Went for a scheduled wedding tasting and arrived a tad early.. they offered us complimentary beverages which we just were fine with water. However, they had a private little dining area ALL SET UP. With a display and options it was awesome. Then Niki came out just explained the process and let it just be relaxing. THEN, the food!! Oh wow, first off the display was incredible. Most things they gave us an abundance to try. (Don't worry, I'll post pics;)) anyways by the end she just gave us all the numbers and we put the deposit down to reserve our special day. I d so thankful for the staff and wonderful Niki!! Highly recommend, can't wait to see it next September. Free complimentary food everything. We tipped but it wasn't expected. Anyways book fast because they are popular with good reason! Thanks Niki and compliments to the bbq master and chef read more

Top notch BBQ, some of the best I've ever had. Stopped here on way passing through Richmond. The ribs were very tender and had excellent sauce. The brisket had perfect smoke flavor and was served hot. The Mac and cheese and sweet potato sides were incredible. The pecan pie was also delicious. Loved the meal and highly recommend, especially for anyone who loves ribs. read more

YUM. 1st time here and two different customers told me that Deep Run is the BEST place in RVA and even in VA for BBQ! I'd like a 3 meats/2 sides option but a la carte was a helpful tasting experience. I'm already craving more ribs and cornbread. Spare ribs = 5 stars! Fatty brisket = 5 stars! Cornbread = 5 stars! Chicken wings = 4.5 stars (great crisp & sauce)! Pulled chicken = 4.5 stars (great flavor)! The brisket and pulled chicken make for amazing tacos too. Excellent customer service (Davy is so welcoming). Really love this place. Choose their catering for your family, wedding, or company event and you'll have very very happy guests. read more

I had the Catfish sandwich with mac and cheese. My sons had pulled chicken, the brisket sandwich, and also the smoked sausage. Mac and cheese passed my test. It was creamy and cheesy. Needed salt and pepper. It was good for restaurant stove top mac and cheese. The catfish needed to be crispier. It tasted fine in general, but the breading was mushy in the creases. Their tarter sauce was delicious. I wish the sandwich had come with lettuce and tomato. The smoked sausage was just average. The pulled chicken also just average. Nothing special here, unfortunately. Overall I felt like this was yet another overpriced BBQ place with average food in RVA. read more

My husband and I stopped in mid afternoon on a Sunday. It wasn't too crowded with people eating in the restaurant but there was a consistent number of pick up orders as we dined. We were warmly welcomed by two staff members and really enjoyed our interactions with them. We both had pork sandwiches and fries. I would skip the fries next time and go with a different side. The table next to us was raving on the mushrooms. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day. We will definitely stop in again!! read more

We came on a Monday afternoon and there was no line. The staff are very friendly and there's a lot of seating. We ordered 1 lb brisket, 1/3 pound sausage, and sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and cornbread as sides. Food was more than enough for 2 people, we ended taking the rest to go. The brisket could have been more moist, but overall tasted great with the spicy Carolina and mild sauces. The self serve lemonade and iced tea was a nice touch. Solid barbecue spot! read more

This place is the best! Deep Run Roadhouse has become the goto barbeque spot in the area for sure! They can hang with the best of them in terms of quality of food, price, atmosphere and service! Whether you like pork or chicken, they both are excellent! Make sure you get there early enough on holidays and weekends because they will sometimes sell out. You can't fault them because they come fully prepared, it's only due to the amount they sell! I think just about everyone in this area knows about these guys! They have an extensive menu, with some absolutely bangin' deserts too! read more

Everything we had was so good. When I tell you we nearly had one of everything... the bbq, ribs, sausage, and brisket were all fantastic. Mac and cheese was perfect, so creamy and cheesy! I ended up eating the sweet potatoes with my bbq...maybe it's my pregnancy? But it was amazing! The hush puppies and corn bread--wonderful. Service was great and the place was nice and clean. Can't believe we didn't get pics. read more

Let me start off by saying that I'm originally from Boston, so I haven't had much experience with bbq, but this place has the best brisket sandwich I've had in RVA. When I entered I was immediately greeted by a very friendly staff. I decided to try the brisket sandwich, which came highly recommended, but got my cole slaw on the side, along with a side of mac and cheese, and of course, a sweet tea. The tea had unlimited refills, and I actually blended the sweet and unsweetened teas together (I'm still getting used to the sweet tea!). The sandwich was so moist that it didn't even need sauce! I did try a taste of the sweet sauce, which was too sweet for my liking and the mild sauce, which I liked much better. The cole slaw was tasty, and the mac and cheese, although very cheesy, lacked flavor. I added a bit of the mild bbq sauce to it, and it was much better. Overall, I was really happy with my meal and the friendly staff, so I'll definitely be back. read more

Love the bbq and they have good sides. I hate going to a bbq spot with no good sides but no worries Deep Run has you covered. And the sauce is good and doesn't require any doctoring up. I believe they have a vinegar based sauce for those who prefer Carolina style bbq. They offer a variety of meats including smoked wings. Service was great and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Casual dining atmosphere. If you're in the west end give them a try! read more

"Deep Run Roadhouse" can give Texas BBQ a run for its money. It's close to it in every way. After settling in to our hotel, we looked for a place for dinner. This place came strongly recommended by Yelpers, so it was the perfect spot for me. Outside, the parking lot is pretty big, but packed so get there early. The outside promotes the grandeur of what was inside. Inside seemed dated, but that's the look they wanted, an old school in your face bbq! At the counter, we were served by Post Malone, no, but he looked strongly like him. They had fun entertaining us while we made our picks. Even one of the cooks came out and told me he was a Giants fan. This was the first place I visited in the area that took Apple Pay, so that was a plus. We placed our order and they gave us an alarm that would let us know when the food was ready. We sat down at the tall wooden booths and waiting. It was worth the wait because the food came out hot. We sat down and began eating. I must say, Post Malone recommended the mushrooms so I tried them. He said they were for vegetarians that came (hold up! Why would vegetarians come to bbq?). Anyway, the meats, sides and mushrooms were on point! At the end, they said "come again"! Don't say that, I seriously won't leave. read more

I got the pulled chicken sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese and cowboy beans. The chicken was pretty good, moist and seasoned. The bbq sauce was very liquidy but it did have good flavor. The sandwich with two sides was about $14. For that price, it's definitely a good deal compared to any other bbq places. The staff were nice and it was clean inside. I wasn't blown away, but if you are craving bbq on a budget this is place to check out. 6.9/10 read more

Bright, clean with a well decorated typical BBQ vibe restaurant atmosphere. There's around 7 booths within the restaurant so I suspect it might be difficult to dine in over the weekend dinner times. The smoked meats which I tried were very good. The brisket and pulled pork were moist and tasty. If ordered as a sandwich the bun is dense and hardy and will make a nice meal accompanied with a side. Speaking of sides, the four that I sampled were basic and standard, so there's nothing to brag about. It is nice to see that they serve hush puppies since some restaurants don't offer that selection. The service was polite and pleasant. You basically order at the counter and either wait for your name to be called or when busier they will provide a buzzer to alert you when your food is ready. I would rate Deep Run #3 after ZZQ and Mission BBQ. read more

I recently hosted an event at my home and DRR handled the catering. We had a great experience. The food arrived on time. The gentleman who set things up for us was quick and courteous. Most importantly, the food was great! Our guests loved the food. And, the prices were reasonable. We checked with several companies before booking and felt DRR offered the best value. We'll definitely use them again in the future when have a need for catering. read more

We just moved to Richmond area, and yesterday, I had a craving for soul food. We ordered the chopped pork, sausage, ribs and wings. All were flavorful and done right. The lime in Texas caviar gives it a good taste, and I love the roasted sweet potatoes. He is disappointed they don't offer regular fries, but that won't stop us from returning. read more

This was my first time ordering from this establishment, but overall, the food was good. I ordered the beef brisket, pork BBQ ribs, pulled pork, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and hush puppies. Ribs - Had a good taste and flavor but was not juicy. Brisket - Pieces were thick and flavorful, but they were on the drier side. Pulled pork - Well seasoned, tender, and juicy. Sweet potatoes - Great, well seasoned, and sweet. Mac and cheese - Cheesy and good. Hush Puppies - Tender, flavorful, and excellent. I ordered through DoorDash. My experience may have been better if I had eaten at the restaurant read more

I have been here several times for eat in and take out and the food is always delicious. This past visit I had the fried catfish which is perfectly cooked and crunchy with the best tartar sauce I've ever had. Mac and cheese is perfectly cooked, creamy, flavorful, I never come here and not get it. Collard greens are delicious as well. I have had other items as well that are really good. Highly recommend this restaurant. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

This is one of my favorite small businesses in Short Pump, primarily because they offer a quality BBQ, a good value, and happy, supportive staff. I think I have tried just about everything on the menu over the years. It is all amply portioned and delicious. I love that they offer fish, because I sometimes need a fish taco fix when my boys want their brisket fix. We order from DRR about once each month, and we recently used them to cater our son's class reunion, a backyard event for about 60 people. The food, service, set up, and willingness to honor my 10% off coupon was amazing. They make everything turn-key. If you return the chafing dishes, they give you a gift card toward your next meal there. We are Deep Run Roadhouse fans! read more

They don't honor their own posted hours, and could not care less if you just blew half an hour driving to get to their restaurant in driving rain or snow. Doesn't matter how good the food may be if you can't get any, and I've never been treated so rudely by the folks over at Q. I needed meat for a stew, called over, got told they were closing at 2 for snow. Fine, drove across town, got there twenty minutes beforehand, got told they were closed and wouldn't sell me any meat because their kitchen was shut down. Anyone who's ever smoked meat knows that's a lie; you cook it the night before. So they got me to waste an hour driving back and forth in the snow and then wouldn't take thirty seconds to pull some brisket out of the fridge and put it in a cup for me to buy, twenty minutes before the closing time on their door. read more

What a steal! Got a bbq pork sandwich with slaw and a small collard greens for $11. Forger Arby's. DRR got the meats! I couldn't believe how good my pulled pork was. Far from dry, but definitely not wet, it was the perfect texture. Bun held up to the coleslaw and cherry bourbon bbq sauce (omg) that I added. The collard greens were also very good. Almost the best I've had. So close. My husband got a half rack of ribs with more of that magical cherry bourbon bbq sauce. Lastly, a side of Mac and cheese that wasn't bad, but nothing special. Anyway, these guys know what they're doing when it comes to BBQ. It barely took five minutes to get my food. Knocked it out of the park. read more

I ordered take-out so can't speak to service or ambiance, but the employee at the counter was friendly and it had some cool decor from what I could see.

Good portion and fair prices. Will be back to try more dishes! read more

Deep Run Roadhouse - Sliced Brisket Sandwich with Jalapeno Mac & Cheese (and Texas Pete) - Barbeque Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The Food: We got the small Family Pack (1lb. Pork, 1pint Collard greens, 1pint macaroni &cheese, 1pint coleslaw), 4 buns. We also got some hushpuppies. The chopped pork was very good and I enjoy that it comes unsauced. We ate-in and there were several sauces to choose from. There was Carolina, mild, and sweet, as well as a few hot sauces like Tapatio, Choulula, and Texas Pete. Mild was my favorite. Carolina was very vinegary and sweet was very sweet. The collards were some of the best I've had; they were well seasoned and not watery. The mac & cheese was a bit overcooked and grainy but not overly so and they were flavorful; I'd get them again. The coleslaw is not made with pickles (yay!) and had mild seasoning. It was cold and fresh. The buns that come with the family meal are just Martin's potato rolls, not the "toasted, fresh, baked bun" as is described on the menu. When asked to heat them, I was told that they can't. They don't have a microwave. This was the ONLY bad note of our visit. It felt very unfriendly and was poor customer service to not offer a way to heat the bagged buns. I expected freshly made buns so I was already disappointed, and then being told a restaurant has no way to heat a bun seems ridiculous. I wish I could've seen my face when I was told they couldn't do it. It makes me wonder what else they buy in bulk or outsource and aren't making at the "restaurant". The atmosphere: It's less than a dozen booths to eat at with what looked like a large, closed "employees' dining room. I assume they just don't want to clean the whole place and do they had it partitioned off. The area to dine in is right next to the cashier so conversations and orders are all you hear while you eat. It wasn't pleasant and it would have been nice to sit away from the front door and order area. We couldn't have a private conversation. It was clean and plenty of napkins, utensils, etc were available to grab. The service: Ordering was pleasant and efficient. We promptly had a question about an ingredient answered. The only service sticking point was, again, the lack of competency to come up with a way to warm a bun. Overall, we are planning on returning to try the ribs and wings but I will definitely find out if they have warm buns if I get them again. We had enough leftovers to make 2 more small meals later this week at home and everything tasted great the second and third time around. read more
