    St. Louis style ribs with onion rings, Mac n' cheese and a fountain drink at $35
    Jeff E.

    When District BBQ first opened I heard great things about it but never made it to the restaurant, and bet the years that chatter died down and I stopped hearing about it all together. I happened to be over in the area and needed to grab lunch so I thought now would be a good time. I drove over expecting to see a lunch rush but that was not the case and it was empty except for 1 table of about 5 people that were eating and talking. The restaurant is nice plenty of lighting, seating, and pictures of BBQ with award banners all over and that great smell of wood burning so could it be all that bad and maybe I missed the lunch rush? So I head to the counter and see menu above and it's a limited menu and feels like it's geared towards more of a large family/ catering clientele. As I am looking it over I hear a voice from somewhere behind the counter yell that they will be there in a minute. So after a minute or so a tall employee appears and asks, "do I know what I want"? No welcome or hello and I proceed to to ask a few questions about the menu and he seems irritated but my questions so I wrap it up quickly and order a half rack of St. Louis Ribs (6 bone), onion rings, Mac n' cheese, and a drink for $35. I paid and grabbed my cup and he said he will call me when it's ready. About 10 minutes later he yells out my number and I go grab my meal. The meal look great but I felt it might be a bit expensive for the portions but I dug right in. The ribs were dry, lightly seasoned, and not very meaty and I mean like they were cut thin to use the meat elsewhere. The sauces helped give the ribs some flavor. The onion were what you would expect and the Mac n' cheese had good flavor but was nothing special. All in all between the employee with the dry, I don't want to be here personality, the quality of the food, and the cost to portion ratio I won't return to District BBQ anytime soon. There are better chain BBQ restaurants around that don't cost as much and have better portions and better menu items.

    Bbq! I went here for the burnt ends, so many people recommended them! Very tender and burnt but moist and fatty. I got the meat with a side of fries. Portion size not huge but the flavor was excellent and just right amount. They had about 7 or 8 sauce choices, I tried most of them with the fries or ends, but they didn't really need any additional flavoring. The fries were already spiced with a salty powered and the meat was too juicy to need sauce. I ate inside, food was a few minutes to wait for as they made a fresh batch of fries. You go to a counter to order and later they call your number to go and pick up when ready. Can sit inside or outside table, pretty well spaced out. The only negative was that inside the restaurant was surprisingly smoky, air not filtering properly from the meat smokers. Even with the vaulted ceiling, the smoke was getting down to person level. Okay for a short visit but may irritate people that are sensitive to smoke. Tasty, would visit again!

    I visited District KC BBQ the first week they were open. There was a long ass line to get up to the counter to order. The dining area was packed. I ordered 'cue to go: Brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, a sausage link, green beans, and Mac n' cheese. Plus some small soufflé cups with spicy sauces. Everything was pretty good! I will be back! #DistrictKCBBQ

    An excuse for a Brisket sandwich

    New to VA, love BBQ so I figured I'd give this place a try. It definitely looks cool on the inside. Although the guy working was very friendly to the customer in-front of me, he was pretty dry with me. Didn't say hello/thank you and just handed me my bag at the end. While making my food, I saw them bring out a bag where my brisket was in. They then put in some sort of stirring thing than gave me my brisket sandwich. The buns on my sandwich were warm, but the brisket was COLD. Not room temperature, but COLD. Even if it was warm, I noticed that it was way too salty. I've never had this issue with any kind of brisket before. I couldn't eat half of it before realizing this couldn't be right and decided to get something else. If you're in VA, and want BBQ, I highly recommend The Bone BBQ in Manassas. Minus their pulled pork (wasn't a big fan) their BBQ was some of the best I've had in my life. And if you go there; their Mac and cheese is a MUST try. And a friendly staff, unlike this place. And don't be fooled by the menu prices on the pics posted here or their website.

    Two meat dinner--burnt ends and pulled chicken $12 rip-off!

    Was visiting family in Bristow VA and decided to bring food. Popped into to District KC BBQ and ordered (2) "Two meat dinner plates". Never checked the bag. The portions were so small and I was so embarrassed, ended up taking my family member out to a late lunch instead. Have had free samples at Costco that were larger than District's portions. Definitely a lesson learned! Don't waist your time with this place. Look for Mission instead!

    Tried this place last week. The ribs were pretty good as well as the baked beans, but the macaroni and cheese was horrible.

    I've been a customer here for over 2 years and have LOVED not only the experiences I have when…read moreshopping here, but also their selection, customer service and knowledge of smoking, BBQ'ing and seasonings!! I even came here to buy my XL BGE over a year ago! But, one thing we definitely do is have a pantry stocked with DP seasonings! I seriously don't know of any other brand of seasoning that is better (across the board of flavors) than DizzyPig! Recently, we attended their DizzyFest, the 2nd one we've ever attended and it was AWESOME! If you get a chance to go - GO!!!! But seriously, if you're seeking amazing BBQ'ing/Smoking help or knowledge and all the equipment needed to smoke meats (or veggies) properly, this is the place!

    I happened to stumble on the physical location of Dizzy Pig purely by accident - I saw the name on…read moreGoogle Maps as I was perusing the area for directions to another business! Stopped in after I was done conducting my business in the neighborhood - was not sure if I was going to find a place selling BBQ meats or what. What I did find was a place selling The Green Egg, grilling tools and accessories, wood chips, and all sorts of rubs, spices, and sauces. I'm a sucker for grilling and so found a few kitchen/grilling tools I decided I must have - a new grill spatula, a pair of grill tongs, a Jalapeño corer, and a fruit coring tool. Check Dizzy Pig out if you are in the area - although it has a Manassas address, I think it's closer to Gainesville, VA...
