    Pork Spare Ribs - Half Rack
    Jemily H.

    I must say- this was hands down the best pulled pork I've ever had. I usually never order it out of fear of it being dry or flavorless but this was moist, delicious, full of flavor and as a god mix of meat and fat to make each bite delectable. My fiance loved the ribs, the top of the ribs was seasoned so well and maintained a great consistency and texture. I loved the potato salad, chopped into smaller pieces than I'm used to but I finished it all. The Mac...... idk. It was too Smokey and saucy for my taste. I prefer Mac with gooey cheese and a gos cheese pull versus saucy. The spicy squirrel was awesome and the vinegar!

    Halal beefy bacon cheeseburger - absolutely phenomenal!!!

    My friend and I went here on a Wednesday evening, and the food was absolutely amazing!! The service was wonderful!! We could not believe how juicy and flavorful everything was!! The restaurant was also so very nice and clean!! We will definitely be coming back to this place because the food is just excellent and will try other items on the menu for sure!!

    Wow!! Great bbq with a nice option of sauces including sweet and savory, spicy, and a clear vinegar. Nice offering of draft beers..some local. Service counter was quick and with a smile!

    Great food and experience

    Good food. Tastes perfect. Short drive from Fairfax. Good smells here. Nice little BBQ joint

    Out in aldie, Virginia, we're limited with restaurants and unfortunately hammerdown doesn't particularly deliver in flavor. I found that everything was missing a certain pizzazz that would make the flavor profile memorable. Sausage: it was good but it could use more grilling as it just felt under grilled. The snap also wasn't hitting the mark Brisket: probably the best out of everything. Fall apart good Macaroni and cheese: the absolute worst Mac n cheese I've ever had in my life. Noodles were overcooked and if you look at the picture, it's most definitely missing a key ingredient... Cheese. The cheese was very diluted and watery. The taste was bland and almost flavorless with just a tiny touch of cheese and stretch Potato salad: so heavy on the mayo. I had to add some of my own country Dijon mustard seed to get it to really hit the spot. While everything was okay, it's just not worth the drive when there are much better options out in chantilly.

    We went here with a good friend and really enjoyed it. The food was well made with good flavor and a reasonable price. I had a half rack of ribs. They were perfectly cooked and not too fatty. This was our first time here, but not the last!!

    Excellent! So glad we finally got a chance to try HammerDown BBQ. Indoor seating is available, it does get packed in here quick. Employees are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Ordered takeout and everything was ready in no time. It was neatly wrapped and ready to go. Their Original BBQ Sauce is delicious and goes well with everything! Tried the Sliced Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Ribs, Baked Beans, and Potato Salad. It was all a hit! The meats are seasoned well and have a lovely consistency. We were completely blown away by how flavorful their chicken was. It almost tastes like Peruvian Chicken! The Baked Beans were tender and filled with flavor. Our little ones are big fans! I am so glad this place is in our neck of the woods and can't wait for our next visit.

    Really good barbeque

    1st timer, always driving by it. Greeted nicely by a young lady who answered all my questions. Was getting something for carry out for family. Got pulled pork, sausage, sides of beans, potato salad, and cole slaw. Loved it all. The sausage is especially good, great flavor. Will definitely be back soon

    Summer road trip to Loudon to explore something new place and something different to taste. Thats what we got. We ordered BBQ platter with Brisket, Ribs, baked beans and Cole Slaw And Grilled Chicken Sandwich For sweet tooth : Banana Pudding and iced tea Spicy BBQ sauce was just right spicy. Music on outdoor deck was good. Hot summer day , tree shadow, breeze and great food. Totally worth to drive all the way from Fairfax

    The meat & cornbread was delicious! On a nice day, outdoor seating is great but warning to limited seating inside.

The workers are extremely professional, and I would pick this establishment over common ones nearby. Now for the highlight... I can't stress this enough if you want an Açaí bowl or fried Oreos, you absolutely have to check this place out. The fresh Açaí Bowls are top tier. They are so amazing. I've literally eaten them every business day for a month straight when I worked down the street. But you have to order it there instead of in advance because it will be açaí soup . All jokes aside, check it out and come back to this review and thank me lol.

    I recently visited this Filling Co. Gas & Grub location for breakfast. It's a relatively new…read morelocation - it's a convenience store/Exxon gas station - with a hot food counter in the back - very similar to what you would find at a Sheetz. You place your order on a digital kiosk, then take the print out up to the register to pay for your meal. Food is made to order, I ordered a breakfast bowl with eggs, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, spinach, jalapeños (pickled), bacon, sausage, chorizo, and two kinds of cheese, plus an order of tater tots, and a Bacon, egg, and cheese on a Croissant - with extra bacon and cheese. Food came up in less than 10 minutes. I was starving, so I ate in the car. I added some black pepper and hot sauce to the breakfast bowl. Breakfast bowl was very tasty. The only thing I would ding them on is the potatoes in the bowl - needed to be crispier. The tots were hot and crispy, and the breakfast sammich was hot and tasty. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good. #FillingCoGasAndGrub

When we arrived, the restaurant was really clean and the staff was nice enough. Unfortunately, everything on the menu was either sold out or we had to wait at least an hour for the food to be prepared. With the limited selection remaining, we got a fried chicken sandwich, wings, and waffle fries. We came right around lunch time so I would have expected most of the prep to be done for lunch service. The fried chicken sandwich was pretty average. It would have been elevated with more sauces and toppings. The chicken wings were just sad. It was tossed in some sauce and just thrown on a plate to be served. They were also a little dry from being burnt. The waffle fries were the best thing we had. They were fried and seasoned very well. Hoping this was a one off experience so I'd be open to trying again sometime soon.

I am not someone who leaves reviews easily--especially negative ones. I always try to support good businesses, and if I have a bad experience, I usually just don't return instead of writing a review. However, what I observed during this visit made me feel it was important to speak up. One staff member was eating while touching the payment/ordering screen. Another employee was coughing repeatedly without wearing a face mask. I noticed these two issues first and was actually trying to mention them to the cashier. Unfortunately, the staff member who took my order went to the restroom, then returned and sat behind the cash register. While sitting there, he put his fingers in his nose multiple times. I noticed this while I was eating, and it made me stop my meal. We made brief eye contact, but the behavior continued, which ultimately led me to leave this review. In addition, the tables were sticky and did not seem properly cleaned. The floor was also not clean and had small pieces of trash. I also noticed boxes of drinks, such as water and soda, placed directly on the floor, which did not look sanitary. I'm sharing this as constructive feedback, not to harm the business. Cleanliness and hygiene are extremely important in a restaurant, and addressing these issues would greatly improve the customer experience and confidence in dining here.
