The food was so good I had to come back again a day or two later. I wasn't even willing to share a bite with my family when they asked I told them we'll all have to go back together because it's too good to share. Can't wait for the next visit! By the way: I got there Grilled portobello Mushroom Burger, chicken wings (flats) and their Mac and cheese. Definitely recommend all of the above! read more

While Richmond isn't known as one of the country's great BBQ hubs, Deep Run Roadhouse is capable of knocking out tournament-quality brisket visit after visit. I think a BBQ place is best judged by brisket, since pulled pork is a very forgiving thing to smoke. With brisket, though, you have to trim it right and season it well and smoke it correctly. Plenty of moving parts, and very capable of exposing flaws in a BBQ joint's skillset. On the brisket standard, Deep Run gets a very strong passing grade. They also dress it, and their other meats, in different ways - on nachos and in burritos and tucked into sandwiches. The base ingredient is good and they do nothing to screw it up. Overall, the service is good, the food always impresses, and the place does Richmond proud. read more

We used Deep Run to cater our wedding. They were communicative prior to the day, delivered precisely on time, set everything up beautifully and the food was amazing. Almost every single person there complimented the food. 10/10 would recommend! read more

All of their barbecue is amazing and each side extremely good. My favorite is the brisket and pork. We've used them a number of times for catering, and it's always been well packaged and prepared. Friendly service and even will come set it all up for your event. read more

Brisket was delicious but everything else was meh :/. The mac and cheese and greens lacked flavor. Not sure why this was so highly rated.

My husband and I went here for lunch, He had.. The BBQ bowl with sausage was delicious! Mac and cheese awesome, sausage was flavorful. Cornbread was light, fresh, and very tasty. The beans had a good flavor. This really worked! It was tasty and filling and the portion generous. Yum! I had.. A small order of catfish, which I found disappointing because the cornmeal breading was too thick and hard. Coleslaw was good but nothing special although it was crisp not mushy and fresh tasting. We shared a piece of pecan pie, which was very good. It tasted richer than most, slightly of molasses. We will return and next time I'm having the bowl too! That is a winner at this restaurant! read more

Fantastic food and people. Have had them cater a few events and have always done a great job!

I know, I know; yes I am one of those people that orders fish at a barbecue restaurant. Well... the catfish was so light and flaky. Crunchy crust with moist fish. They even make their own tartar sauce! Great job. read more

Closest true BBQ experience I've had since leaving Texas. The brisket is just fatty enough and the ribs tender beyond compare. My family of four are always satisfied and we'll keep coming back! read more

The food was pretty okay. Only disappointment was that I was not given cutlery to eat with. I had to turn around and drive back to get utensils. I drove pretty far to find this place and I wasn't even offered a drink option to go with my meal. read more

"The best brisket I've ever had!", "The most vegan food I've ever eaten at a wedding!", "I ate a whole plate of the green beans!" were just a few of the comments our wedding guests made to us the night of our wedding. Our guests kept going back to the buffet table for seconds and thirds! All of our wedding guests, vegan and not vegan, left our wedding full and happy. We shockingly still had some left over food after the wedding and our friends and family were calling dibs on who gets what. Our guests were so excited when we told them that they could order food for pick up from DRR any day of the week! Deep Run Roadhouse is not your basic wedding food, schedule your tasting now!!! Thank you Kevin and the DRR catering team for making our wedding food memorable in the best way possible! All the best, Loren and Phil read more

Deep Run Roadhouse catered at the wedding I attended this evening and I was completely blown away by both the food and the service they provided. I usually don't order BBQ chicken because I find it to be rather dry at times but I just finished the best BBQ chicken I've ever had! So delicious and tender! The staff is also phenomenal and worked exceptionally hard this evening. Highly recommend visiting their restaurant and booking them for your next event! read more

I am from South Texas and know my way around BBQ. The brisket and sausage are excellent and the service was good. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, and the food was the best barbecue I've had in Richmond since Famous Dave's.

It isn't the first time I order food from here but I just picked up a to-go order from this place and figured they definitely deserve a good review. So this place has a little bit of everything but I just ordered some ribs and sausage and they were phenomenal. The food was packaged really nicely and they gave me a massive ramekin of extra bbq sauce which was badass. This was also the first time I've ever gone and picked up food myself from there and I like the interior of this place. The receptionist was also really nice and was all smiles. The only thing I got that I really didn't like from here was the slaw. I love coleslaw but I'm pretty picky about it and this place had some nasty dry slaw with giant chunks of cabbage and barely had any slaw base. Other than that though everything was amazing. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're looking for some pretty good bbq. read more

I honestly have no complaints about this place! Every time I go I get the Cherry Bourbon smoked wings and they never disappoint!

Great meal. Rolls were amazing,hot with cinnamon butter. Filet was cooked to perfection and sweet potato was tasty. Server was very attentive. read more

We came across this place by accident. I love a good bbq. They have some great bbq. But unfortunately their dining area is closing down soon and will only be open for to go orders. If you want some good bbq. This is a great place to go. I ordered the pork spare ribs, with fried pork chops and potato salad. I'm wasn't too fond of the potato salad bc it was mixed with sour cream and they use red potatoes. It was just not my thing! But those beans! Loved the beans. They even had pieces of rib meat in them. This is definitely a place worth coming back to visit! read more

Met some friends here on a Friday night for dinner. Seems like the typical BBQ place anymore, and they do have good food. They had a few draft beers available, and a few more in bottle. But if you want wine....they only have a couple of the little individual serve bottles. We opted for the Devil's Backbone and Bold Rock cider. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the cuban with pork. Mine was basically just a "smashed" version of hers....on the same bun. It tasted good, but on the next visit I'll opt for the sandwich. They have a great variety of sides, and we opted for the jalapeno mac n cheese and the potato salad. Both were very good. Definitely would go back here again when in the area. read more

I think it's over priced always ampty. Clean but feels dirty, feels like it's under construction all the time.

Absolutely Amazing Food and Service!! The baked Mac & Cheese is the best I've ever had! The pulled chicken is so delicious! I normally can Not eat meat by itself but that chicken I can. Everyone is super friendly! I first tried their food through catering and was good enough I had to visit their restaurant, unfortunately they didn't sell the mashed potatoes at the restaurant, it was sooooooo good!! But it's worth the hour drive to eat there! Highly recommend trying them and definitely recommend for catering!! read more

Brisket & Mac and cheese were perfect! Staff was friendly and will definitely visit again.

Great food! When we went the dinning room was closed. So we ate out on the picnic tables and the food was awesome.

Ordered the train wreck burrito and the loaded potato Wedges and both were delicious. Generous portions and the first bite was just as good as the last. read more

I discovered DRR soon after COVID-19 began to raise its ugly head. It's just down the road from my mother's apartment, and it became a real treat to stop by after a visit to pick up dinner on the way home. I've eaten in since then and have enjoyed every bite. The 4 rating is because, when eating in, I thought the little plastic containers the sides came in made it a little cafeteria-ish, BUT I've never visited a cafeteria that served brisket like theirs, and little plastic containers certainly aren't going to keep me from going back! read more

BEST BBQ EVER. Brisket absolutely melts in your mouth. I love that they offer multiple flavors of bbq sauce!

Fantastic ribs and mince pork. The Texas Caviar is absolutely amazing. Great service

Wonderful food & fabulously professional staff and service! Love the BBQ and they have many gluten free options!

In the short pump area and was hungry for some bbq and found this place not to far away but definitely off the beaten path. We are welcomed as soon as we open the door with a genuinely happy and smiling face at the cash register asking if we needed any help or more time to look at a menu. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich with coleslaw, onions, pickles and jalapeños on it at the recommendation of the lady behind the counter. Also got potato salad, French fry's, sweet tea, and a slice of key lime pie. And let me tell you WOW it was sooooo good they had 3 sauces on the table, sweet bbq, mild bbq and a Carolina hot and all 3 were tasty. The potato salad was awesome it was fresh made with onions and celery in it, the fries were a nice seasoned waffle fry but the key lime pie...... it was one of the best I've ever had. It was super creamy and had the nice thin gram cracker crust on the bottom and thick on the back. And then the taste ooooh my it was nice and sweet and tart and you could taste the fresh lime. This place is on the return to list when I'm here visiting my family. read more

Great brisket and bbq! Texas caviar and jalapeño mac n cheese are my favorites but everything is delicious!

Stopped in to DRR for lunch. We rang the bell on the counter a few times, but could not get service until we flagged someone down working in the back. Our order was taken by a thin bearded fellow that seemed less than thrilled to be taking our order. The coke machine was out of Diet Coke, which the order taker remedied. Our order came up quickly, but the food (chopped BBQ sandwich and cowboy beans) was average at best and definitely not worth the amount charged. With the number of BBQ restaurants in Richmond, these guys need to step up their game. read more

Excellent food, prompt delivery of catered order. Highly recommend. Driver was courteous and process was smooth.

We came here one Sunday for lunch with my mother-in-law and her sister. My MIL had been raving about how much she loved the food here, and we do like BBQ, so we were hopeful. We arrived on the earlier side, just about noon, and we were the first ones there. The ambience as a result was lacking. Unfortunately the food was unexciting. They forgot some of the side dishes, so we had to ask for those again. The pulled pork and chicken that was ordered was fine. The French fries were good. The Mac and cheese was a total letdown. My husband and I got jalapeño Mac and cheese and were looking forward to something with some zip and flavor, and it had nothing. It was lukewarm, completely under-seasoned and bland, and barely any traces of jalapeños/flavor. We each had to put a pile of salt on it to make it taste of anything, and basically just gave up after a few bites. The next time my MIL requests BBQ, I think we'll steer her elsewhere instead, as this was not enough to entice me back. read more

This is NOW my favorite place to get BBQ. My nephew's family served your BBQ at a graduation party a few weeks ago. The BBQ was great then, but sitting in your restaurant eating it even fresher was AMAZING. If you are in the Richmond area, or willing to drive there, you won't go wrong!! My future son-in-law is just learning about being gluten free and your staff was very helpful, including checking out some labels to see if he could have your link sausage. read more

We came down from Arlington to check out properties and stopped in to grab a quick lunch . I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and potato wedges.Yuuuuuuum! read more

I'm not sure why this place had 4.5 stars? We ordered 1/4 lb of bbq smoked chicken ($14.), potato salad, mac'n'cheese & corn fritters. Potato salad although very cold, had a decent taste and the reason for the 1 star otherwise would have given this place no stars. Everything else had NO flavor, NO spices as per their description on their menu. The pulled chicken looked like it had been regurgitated. I took 1 bite and instantly became ill from not only the taste but the smell. The young lady who took our order was very polite until I advised her of my opinion of the meat. She offered to give us other meat as replacement yet the other opinions were pork and we don't do pork. Originally we came for their staple meat brisket but they didn't have it. She asked if she could do anything? I said yes, a refund. In which she ignored me. We threw out our entire nasty meal. read more

They catered lunch for my job during COVID. My first time eating there food, and it was spot on! The best brisket I've ever had!!

Deep Run Roadhouse is a solid Texas-style BBQ joint that can satisfy your BBQ cravings. I ordered some brisket with Mac and cheese and a side of cornbread. The brisket was perfectly smoked and very tasty. The cornbread wasn't exactly the best in terms of texture, as it was a bit moist and crumbly for my liking. The mac and cheese wasn't spectacular, but did serve as a nice compliment to the BBQ. My main thing though was that it took a surprisingly long amount of time for the food to come out, seeing that I was one of only two or three customers in the restaurant at the time. Would definitely come back again whenever I'm near Richmond! read more

Yummy food and cool staff! We ordered out and my brief interaction with the staff was very positive they were super nice and welcoming. The food was awesome especially the Wings (Excellent BBQ Sauce). Only critique is that the put jalapeños on my wife's dish when we had asked for them not to be put on, but besides that awesome experience overall. read more

Military friendly ! I love this place. Everytime I'm in the area I have to stop by. I love their rope sausage ! I think it's the cherry bourbon sauce, but I love that one. Bought a whole bottle. Didn't let long cause I was putting it on everything. I also love their Mac n cheese and brisket. I loved the view of the other location that's by the college, was a little bummed they closed it down. But hey I love this place regardless of its location ! read more
