We thought we were in for some good BBQ as we smelled the goodness driving by the truck on Route 1. So we turned and stopped to order brisket, rib tips, and greens. We double checked the bag to ensure we received everything we paid for and headed home. To our disappointment the rib tips were dry and required to be doused in sauce. The brisket was even worse as it was tough and dry and the greens were completely flavorless. That was $38 (we tipped $5 bc we were so excited) wasted. Maybe it was a bad day but we will not be stopping at this truck again. On the flip side, we did receive good customer service while ordering and paying. read more

If you're Muslim or Asian DON'T GO HERE. I don't review very often but I've been meaning to review this place. This happened a while ago but I still remember it well because it was so shocking. Me and my dad had seen this place a couple times while passing it on our way home and wanted to check it out. We got in line behind someone and after that person gave their order and went to sit down we waited for the lady to ask us what we wanted. She made eye contact with me and said nothing. My dad was giving me the signal not to say anything and wait because she looked a little busy. Then she went outside the truck and chit chatted with someone else. When she came back I tried saying excuse me 3 times before she even acknowledged us. I can remember smiling and not getting a single smile back and I understand they have a really tough job and they don't have to do the customer service dance but I expect at least some respect and kindness. We gave our order and sat. WE WAITED 30+ MINUTES. And people who ordered after us (who got their orders in at the speed of lightening compared to us) got their food before us. The wait was so long we debated asking them what was wrong but my dad didn't want to bother them more. The other people getting served were met with warm welcomes, smiles, "how've you been?"s, and got the menu described to them. When we finally got our food my dad desperately wanted to just go home and eat because he was so disappointed that they were discriminating against us like this. We got home and the turkey leg was burnt to a crisp and hardly edible. The corn was skinnier than my pinky. We ended up just throwing it all away. Worst place ever. Incredibly racist and I hope nobody else has been treated like this but I wouldn't be surprised if they were. My father and I are Pakistani and visibly Muslim. read more

I first had Dyvine BBQ at Octoberfest @ Ft Belvoir. It smelled so good i had to try it (even though i had just had my tonsils and and wasnt even eating solid food) It did not disappoint. Because of that experience, i decided to have then cater an event. While a portion of my order was incorrect, the food was still amazing and everyone loved it! I will 100% be having him cater again!! read more

When I tell you looks can be deceiving, believe it! In this case the food looked unappealing but it was good asf!! The greens were well seasoned, the Mac had enough cheese and the ribs were cooked but still tender. It was reasonably price and quite delicious. Well done Dyvine, well done!! read more

Their barbecue chicken is excellent! They were at my office building through Fooda.com for lunch. I bought pulled barbecue chicken with baked beans and coleslaw, everything was delicious. read more

Brought some ribs and jerk chicken home from the Arlington County Fair last night for family dinner and wow, it was some of the best I ever had -- really didn't expect that from a temporary set up, but these folks know their BBQ. I've had North Carolina and Texas before but I guess they'll have to take a bow to Virginia now. It wasn't just the food either, but the quick and efficient service. There was a long line at the stand but it kept moving -- always stayed long, but always moved along thanks to the smoothly functioning team. I guess word spread... :) read more

Always the crowd favorite due to their delicious pulled pork, ribs, chicken and sides! We love their Bbq sundaes - Mac n cheese is the best !!!! Always a pleasure as they give back to the community in a huge way and make each customer feel specIal! Wish I could give more than 5 stars !!! read more

I decided to order from here because I pass the truck all the time but never have time to stop and support. Uber was offering a donation to the business for Black History month so I decided to support. All in all- the food is VERY tasteful. I'm a bit discouraged about ever ordering the Mac n cheese again because it's not 'Black people' Mac n cheese: baked w/ cream and eggs and an additional layer of cheese on top to create a crisp brown finish- not to say they weren't good but it's not at the top of my list. The collards were amazing (as expected) I would love if they had a 'w/ meat' option but I understand their decision not to add meat. I ordered the mango lemonade- I was not disappointed and the rib tips were fire. I'd definitely order from here again. Support Black business and the Mayor D. Woods! read more

Delicious! Initially as we drove by it smelled so wonderful we HAD TO turn around and check out the amazing smell. Delicious! Good sized servings! The pulled pork sandwich and the rib tips were scrumptious. The Mac and cheese- fabulous. The people who took our order were endearing and nice to talk to. What an amazing find on a dreary day. read more

We ordered a ton of food from Dyvine and the name does it justice! Ribs. Pulled Pork. Mac n Cheese. Collards. Baked Beans. Really appreciated the combination of sweet and savory flavors. Plus the housemade bbq sauce is not one to be played with. Whew! My personal favorite was the pulled pork. Pops got a brisket sandwich that we weren't too crazy about, but hey 5 out of 6 is still worth a trip to Triangle. read more

Amazing barbeque with generous portions. Ribs, rib tips, pulled pork, chopped chicken and all the favourites. Mac & cheese, cornbread and great sides. My family loves the family means. Definitely, stop in and see them. You'll be happy you did. read more

Derrick is awesome!!! He offered ribs, pulled pork, chopped chicken and chicken to die for!!! The Mac n cheese was off the hook and the other sides were amazing as well. If you need someone to cater your event, you need to give my man Derrick a call! read more

Wow! The food was very delicious, I literally liked the devoured the rings and inhaled the mac n cheese. I got the 3 bone platter with two sides, excellent price. Not sure if they have a store front, since we're in Manassas for July 4th celebration. The staff were very hospitable. Derrick was on the grill doing his thing! read more

A great little secret. Really good pulled pork. Nice and juicy. Never any long lines. Open Thursday - Sunday. Give it a try.

Awesome BBQ! I had the pulled pork last time and it was amazing. Each time I've gotten lunch from these guys it has been a real treat. The ribs and the chopped chicken were also outstanding. read more

The mac is really bad. I had high hopes coming in, because I've heard good things about them. My sandwich was so dry, with absolutely no sauce at all. Disappointing, especially for the price. read more

I believe in supporting all small businesses but I have to be honest and true. The food was Bland Bland and over smoked. Mac n cheese more like noodles and black pepper. Also, what's very disturbing was to see one of the worker outside behind the truck pulling out slabs of ribs from the manufacturer box and straight into the smoker it goes. hmmm no rise no seasoning? I think it's best I stop here with my review. read more

Catered rehearsal Dinner for 50. They went above and beyond during prep and through ordering process. Food stayed warm for entire duration. Collard greens were amazing!!! You have to get the pulled pork best I've ever had, and I'm from the Midwest we roast a lot of pork. You won't be disappointed. Thankyou Christa read more

Mannnnn! Every time I say I'm not going to eat in my car, and the BBQ never makes it home. My BBQ Man never disappoints. Thank you Chef Derrick, I'll see you next week! read more

Just moved to the area and stopped here on the advice of the Amtrak worker who served me. Ok so my husband and I placed our orders at the window and had to repeat it 3x (where's your notepad). After paying and checking before we pulled off both of us had the wrong sides. Perhaps a little more attention could've been paid to getting our food order correct than informing us about the owner's political status (the mayor of Dumfries). Anyway our orders were corrected. They told us they couldn't take the wrong food back for sanitary reasons. I get that. As the line proceeded to back up a few of us customers were taken aback as the cashier could barely work for talking on the phone...really??? As we walked back to our cars we saw commercial size cans of collard greens in a trash heap. From the taste of things the potato salad is also commercially made. I ordered the smoked turkey leg and my husband ordered the combo plate with a chicken leg quarter and brisket. The brisket was dried out, the turkey was tough and the chicken lacked any seasoning besides a heavy smoke taste. If this is the best bbq the area has to offer then I'm shaking my head. I won't be back any time soon. read more

I have tried this place twice and was disappointed both times. I normally get ribs when I get BBQ and both times I got meat that was hard and over cooked, like beef jerky. I personally wouldn't recommend. read more

We were their last customers of the day and the food was still pretty good! I'd like to try them again when they're at their best and we're not rolling through. They were very accommodating which was terrific read more

This weekend I made my first visit to the 4th Annual Bands, Brews, and BBQ festival in old town Manassas. Dyvine BBQ was one of four BBQ vendors there, and the second of the two that I tried. The weather wasn't providing much cooperation for festival-goers and vendors alike, and perhaps that's why Dyvine may not have been on their A+ game. There were some high points and low points to the platter I tried, and overall I'd give them a solid 3.5 stars. Dyvine's BBQ shades more to the Soul Food part of the BBQ spectrum, and that shows in their selection. Items like rib tips and chicken wings share the smoker and menu with standards like pulled pork and brisket. Collard greens and mac and cheese are among the options for sides. For $10, I got a platter of rib tips, with a side of corn and mac and cheese. Portions were generous all around - you definitely get more for your dollar at Dyvine BBQ. The rib tips were pretty good. They were not sauced, and I didn't see a sauce available for them (probably missed it) but they were very tasty with the dry rub and smoke flavors. A little sauce would have been nice to combat some of the drier pieces, but I was still happy. The smoked corn on the cob was fantastic. The mac and cheese was the low point for me. There were a couple of problems. First, they make their homemade mac and cheese like my mom makes it, using real cheese and baking it in the oven. The problem is that the mac and cheese tends to get a bit gloppy as the day goes on, and the cheese flavor is subdued. A really good homemade mac and cheese has to be made from some type of cheese sauce. Overall, this whole meal for $10 would have been an easy 4 stars for me, except there was one more issue with the mac and cheese ... there were a couple of hairs in my serving. I didn't complain and I don't get all that worked up over these things. I've worked in food processing, I know things happen. But I have a hard time giving 4 stars for hair in my food - especially when just slightly more-careful planning and serving (Hair nets!) will prevent it. Dyvine BBQ has a few things to work on, but there is a solid foundation for a great BBQ truck / stand here. I'd definitely try them again if I saw them at another event. read more

Great southern food! My family has frequent Dyvine BBQ a few times. The rib tips are amazing! Cornbread is dope! Collard greens are delicious and vegetarian friendly. The potato salad is a great side along w the bake beans. read more

They came to a pop-up at my employer's today. I was disappointed by the food. I had pulled pork, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. The pulled pork was a little salty and nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was kind of cold and stale. Even more disappointing was the price. Entree plus 2 sides was $15, and it was just a normal-sized pull-pork sandwich and two small-ish scoops of sides. I've had much better food, including much better bbq, for less $$ in DC. The value just wasn't there. read more

Bummer to write this review as we heard so much food hype of this place. We placed online order and the people had no clue of our order. The ribs were tender once you got through all of the crusted bark from over cooking. We ordered burnt ends, and when I say burnt... they were really burnt to the point where it was hard as chips (we ended up throwing the burnt ends away) because it was like eating char. As for the collard greens, they tasted just like the glory canned greens. I'm convinced they don't make this themselves, if anything it's canned and they add some additional flavors. As for mac and cheese, it's similar to kfc mac and cheese. I expected mac and cheese like soul food spots make. But overall, won't be coming back here. I think it's fair 3 stars for this place. read more

Bomb bbq. Meat is always tender and the sauce is even. Hits the spot everytime. Great customer service too!

I've had his bbq before... since he's been over by Wawa on Route 1... I've been ordering the burnt ends and they have been good. The portion size has been enough to satisfy along with the kaiser style roll that comes with it. It goes well with the sweet style bbq sauce they offer. The last time I was there it was late in the day.. almost closing and they still served gladly with a smile. The owner was pleasant and he appreciated the community support. read more

I drove by the food truck randomly over the weekend and decided to stop and get some ribs. I'm glad I did! I got the six bone half rack and some collards and was very satisfied. Definitely going back soon. Also a fairly safe choice while this pandemic is going on social-distancing-wise. The nice woman who handed me my food wore gloves. read more

Alright, I drove by this bbq truck when in the area one day and did a little research before deciding to stop by officially. Believe they are only open Thursday-Saturday. Stopped by around 1 pm on a Friday and the truck was there and the food smelled pleasant. Checked out the menu and from the reviews here I wanted to try the chopped chicken sandwich. There was only one young lady working taking the orders while "chef" was working in the back. Took a minute before the young lady called me up to place my order. I asked first for the chopped chicken. Immediately said they were out! I'm like ok wth. So asked for the pulled pork along with mac n cheese and collards for the sides. Was wondering if they had pulled pork too initially but she said yes. Chef comes to the side and says "I think we may have chicken". So I wait and no update and he heads to the back. Young lady makes my plate and puts what appears to be pulled pork in last. I asked what happened to the chicken and is this the pulled pork then? She states it's the pork. So have no idea what happened to them checking for chicken which I found odd since it was early. Regardless, the pork looked suspect but everything else looked fine. Came home and must say the sides were good. Particularly the collards (probably best I've had). Mac was just ok. Now the issue was the pork. Now I'm not sure how long that pork been out but it surely wasn't made the day of. Huge chunks of "pork" that had texture like leather. I'm like seriously? If I were closer I would have driven back but I was tired at that point. I had to pull the edible portions of "the pulled pork" to actually eat it. Topped it with the bbq sauce which was sweet and excellent actually. What was left was pretty decent but the majority of it was pretty bad. How can you charge 15 bucks and offer food that resembles the texture of leather and inedible fat? Not cool at all and I'm all about supporting local business. Customer service could be better as well. They have potential and would have enjoyed the chicken probably. Better quality and oversight needs to be taken. Too bad since the collards were pretty good. Not sure if I'll return. Update: After reaching out offering an apology, the owner obliged by his offer and I received the proper item which was indeed delicious. Even gave me a sample of the chopped chicken which was good. Will indeed be a repeat customer from now on. read more

We love this place! Come get your barbecue here! It's the best we've had. The chopped chicken, pulled pork, and ribs are excellent. Equally as delicious are the baked beans, collard greens and potato salad. read more

Got 1 slab of ribs and a pound of rib tips. I couldn't have been happier. I literally did a dance when I ate the first bite because the ribs were so tender and exceptionally meaty. The seasoning was also on point. Seriously, it's some of the best I've ever tasted. You don't even need sauce. read more

I ordered 3 delicious fall off the bone pork ribs with mac and cheese and coleslaw. The manager of this delicacy was very courteous and attentive he provided me a sample of the chopped chicken which was so rich with smokey juicy flavor covered with a blanket of sweet and tangy sauce, I would definitely recommend. The mac and cheese unfortunately fell short in flavor but it obtained a smokiness from the ribs that made it very unique. To go with the meal we had a mango lemonade which was so fresh and perfectly blended. Now if they would add brisket and more sides this would be my new to go spot! read more

Chief Derrick this was almost as good as mine just need to give you a few more secrets...Thanks for lunch... but really the lunch was amazing read more

Chef Derrick just fed 350 crazy, hungry high school football players and their friends and families for an End-of-Season Awards Banquet. This is the second year for Chef Derrick to cater for us! Plenty of food to go around (we had a buffet) and everyone left with full bellies and happy faces. Chef Derrick was extremely prompt and courteous and kept the food coming! He brought his smokers directly to our banquet location, which kept the food piping hot. The food was EXTRAORDINARY (and I've eaten a lot of barbeque in my life). The macaroni and cheese? To die for! Our menu included smoked chicken legs, ribs, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and coleslaw. Everything was finger-licking phenomenal!!! If you are looking for a crazy-good barbeque caterer who feeds you well, look no further! Host a memorable party and get Chef Derrick to do all of the work with his famous food. You'll look like a rockstar!!! read more
