The atmosphere here is OK, but it is difficult to beat their carryout service when it comes to BBQ sandwiches. This is the best place for pulled pork BBQ in the Laurel-Burtonsville area. read more

I really enjoy the food here and when I dine in, the service is extremely attentive. good variety of food and bbq sauces. never have had anything I didn't like. read more

Great prices, huge portions, and strong drinks. The staff is hit or miss, but the food is pretty damn good.

One of my favorite barbque restaurants. Try to eat there when I'm in the area. Pulled pork platter, potato salad and salad. Great!

Staff was very friendly, the food was great, we had the pulled pork and would order it again after exploring the menu more. Kid friendly, my daughter loved her sandwich as well. We will be back. read more

Memphis native here, and my husband and I are both picky when it comes to BBQ. This place actually does BBQ sandwiches *almost* like home (I think it's just the BBQ sauce itself which is a bit different). Will definitely be back, if only to tide us over until we can get "real" Memphis BBQ again! Also, service is super quick! read more

This is part of a chain, but it doesn't have a "chain" feel at all. For one thing, it's located in Laurel's gentrified "Main Street" neighborhood in a nice brick office complex that was made to look like a block of big old brick houses, bordering on a residential area. Most of the other chains in and around Laurel are your standard neon-topped boxes on the main Route 1 mall drag. Inside, the ambience is like you're eating in a family-run BBQ bar. For another thing, this particular location of Red Hot and Blue doesn't even seem to be featured on the "locator" website for the chain, although every local knows right where it is. I can't speak to all the discussions of ribs on here because I always get either the pulled pork sandwich or pulled pork platter, and sometimes an extra side of baked beans. RH&B's baked beans are the awesomest beans I can get unless I bake 'em myself, and after a hard day at work, who wants to dick around mixing up a can of beans and then waiting an hour for them to properly cook? (And don't go telling me I should be hopping out of bed at 6 am to load up the pressure cooker with 'em either.) As for the pulled pork, it's always been moist for me and though its flavor is pretty mild on its own, that's OK with me as I like to slather it with bbq sauce and I've also been to enough pork-sammie places to know that "it haz a flavor" doesn't always means it has the flavor you want to taste (such as too smokey or too vinegary...yuck). The bread and hush puppies are also decent and really, what more could you want? RH&B also gets big points for its carryout service, which fills orders pretty dern fast (I saw them get four orders done inside of 15 minutes tonight), We've eaten in the restaurant a couple times and that's fine if you have the time to spend, but usually I like to take food home. RH&B carryout is one of the best alternatives to icky fast food in the area. Just be careful with the brown paper bags they use. They may be environmentally friendly, but sauce and meat juice tends to break on through to the other side, so don't set them on your lap or on your upholstery in the car. read more

Not bad for BBQ, but nothing to write home about. Nice to stop off of the highway between D.C. and Baltimore - but I wouldn't make a special trip of it. read more

Its hot as hell outside and I we were hungry after leaving Zanzibar and my girl friend asked what we should eat and of course the first spot to come to mind is Red Hot & Blue. The bbq is on point in my opinion and I rate that high as well as the catfish and the hoochie coochie burger. We both got the lynchburg lemonade that I suggested and she was messed up. Ribs were sweet and melt off the bone perfect. Now I had to write this before my it is fully took over. Keep up the good work ya'll and I will be celebrating my bday there in 2 weeks. read more

To say that this is the best BBQ I've ever had is probably not strong enough. I have been to the national BBQ competition in DC a few times and have tried a lot of pretty good BBQ. This is the shizzle ma jizzle, hands down. Soft tender meat that fall off the bone with a nice crusted outer shell and just the right amount of soft tendon. This is then wrapped in their awesome BBQ sauce that has a great balance between honey, mustard, salt, and a few other ingredients, I'm sure. The other Red Hot & Blue places do not taste like this. Too bad we can't get this in Los Angeles. read more

WE LOVE This place! Everything on the menu is very well priced and always very delicious! Its a nice change from the $$ restaurants in Montgomery County.....they do catering and its always a huge hit. The catfish fingers are amazing! read more

I used Red Hot & Blue to cater my Family Reunion. I arranged everything through the corporate catering office (George Westberry). From contact last year, I found everyone to be extremely professional and helpful. RH&B came in with the best prices and assistance in planning the appropriate amount. Laurel delivered and setup and the gentleman was pleasant and again, very professional and most importantly - on time. My experience was great! Thanks RH&B staff! read more

Good food and good service. Laurel location is in need of internal renovation. I've frequently used the takeout service and preparation usually takes 20 minutes or less. read more

Great service!! Food is delicious and fast. Love the potato salad. Tony the bartender and Brian the manager provide consistent great customer service. read more

I had a Bahama Mama and felt the effects of the rum. I enjoyed the pulled chicken and hubby enjoyed his half chicken. This is definitely a do over. My only down side was after we finished our meal we were sort of forgotten. read more

Take Out Guy's is a total douche. Rudest person I've even spoken to on the phone. I have eaten here for over 15 years. The restaurant, and the one in Annapolis, are excellent. The food is superb. But this guy has to go. He represents RH&B, fire him before you loose customers and $$. read more

This is definitely my favorite BBQ restaurant in the area, and I'm a big BBQ fan. I like the fact that they don't have to cover everything in sauce to make it taste good. You can really tell the quality of the food. I usually go for the pulled pork, but everything is good including the burgers. You really can't go wrong. I would definitely give it a try. read more

This is my favorite Red Hot and Blue location. It has consistently had good food and service for years. I suggest the pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, and banana pudding (in any order). read more

I stop at Red Hot and Blue every time I travel south from NYC... it's a quick stop of 95. It has the best pulled pork around the staff is always friendly and efficient ... it has a true hometown feel for the price you cant beat the BBQ. Highly recommend it to anyone looking excellent BBQ. Also I have yet to find their homemade potato salad. read more

Great service, good portion of food, had leftovers, recommend better than famous daves! Floor needed to be swept and the fly that kept bothering us was annoying other than that family was satisfied. read more

We've been coming here for awhile, usually a bunch of us on Friday night, it's convenient and the food is OK. The last few times we've been there we get the same waiter no matter where we sit and tonight there was 28 of us and as usual the same waiter tried to wait on all of us without any help even though 8 of us were on the other side of the room. Needless to say it didn't work so I left, no waiter is that good and the place wasn't even half full so I don't know why this guy was trying to be Superman, there were other waiters around. Not trying to spend two hours to eat because the waiter either thinks he's that good, he's not, or he's trying to hog the tips, there are way too many other choices in that part of town. read more

Their dry rub ribs is excellent, so are the trimmings - cole slaw, potato salad, bbq beans, seasoned French fries. Whenever guests are in town, we always bring them to this place. We order a big onion loaf to share as appetizer. We all enjoy our meal. Ambience is cool too. read more

The Leesburg, VA Red Hot & Blue is fabulous. The food is delicious - the potato salad has a yummy bacony taste, and the BBQ is very good. Not so at the Laurel location. My husband and I visited this Red Hot & Blue Sunday at noon. Maybe this should have clued us in, but we were the only people there. On a Sunday. At lunchtime. We proceeded to order pulled pork. It just didn't have any flavor, apart from the BBQ sauce. Honestly, I can get a way better pulled pork sandwich at Harris Teeter for $2.95. The potato salad, which I relished at the Leesburg location, was just OK. No bacony taste to swoon over. What a disappointment! I won't be visiting this RH&B location again. read more

Good ribs. Had the Memphis dry rub. Friendly staff, price was okay for the quality of the meal. Will be a rerun customer.

this is our go to quick ,dependable family dinner place. love the pork bbq, but has good salads too. teenagers like the ribs. 7$ lunches are a great deal read more

Family favorite! Everyone loves the potato salad- even have to stop and pick up carry out for meals at home. They have great salads with bbq chicken, pork and beef as well. read more

Excellent and friendly service and very reasonably priced. The children's menu offered a large selection of very good food. We enjoyed the ribs and all of the choices of seasonings for them. We weren't rushed even though they were quite busy with a lot of people waiting for tables. My family really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it. read more

Maybe our expectations were too high, because we have always had great meals at Red Hot and Blue, but it has been a few years since we had eaten there. We drove 40 miles just to eat dinner. Three of us had ribs ( 2 sweet ribs and 1 dry rub). The ribs were tough and dried out and not very tasty. Mac and cheese looked like it was 2 days old and the french fries were crispified. The 4th member of our group had the brisket and chicken combination. None of us ate half of our orders. We also asked for the sourdough breadsticks. Evidently they do not offer these anymore, because we got 4 loaves of white bread. The only edible item was the onion ring appetizer. read more

Wes was our attentive waiter. Hush puppies and jalapeno bites for appetizer. Really liked the puppies and bites were ok. Hoochie Coochie burger was real good and pulled pork platter was all meat. Beans and coleslaw also ok. Love the hot sauces, but need to ask for the Sufferin Sweet Sauce. Would definitely return. Btw...staff worked very well with the back kitchen staff. read more

What can i say? Red, Hot and Blue delivers every time I visit. High quality BBQ, nice atmosphere and a family feel. I love the pulled chicken platter and the fries are spectacualr. I bring a lot of my business colleages to eat here for a nice casual meal and every one of them has enjoyed it. read more

If you are from the south or midwest and know real BBQ don't stop. It's awful. As to the feel of driving down Main St USA - this Main Street is deserted and ugly. read more

I just moved to Laurel about a year ago and I have fell completly in love withthis place. I always get the pulled pork platter with tons of bbq sauce. I love the way they cook their fries and I always get a side of ranch to dip them in. The staff at the carry out is nice. Although sometimes you have to go to the bar to get your order and the bartender is not so friendly. Other than that the place is great and the food is extremely delicious. read more

I have been coming here for years, and it's a great spot. Sitting right at the top of main street, it's only blocks away from home. Their barbecue is always fresh, and the new buns they have been using for their sandwiches lately are great. Red hot and blue keeps getting better and better. Their seafood and southern standards are good, but they have some really good healthy options too. If your in Laurel and want a great dining experience, go to Red Hot and Blue. read more

Just left Red hot and blue. I heard a lot about it. Could have saved my money. The Five meat treat was the worst bar-b-Q I heard had. No taste at all, and it was cold. There was barely and bar-b-q sauce on the food. Will not be going back. read more

I went in with a friend on a busy Friday night and ordered chicken strips. Sad to say, that they were served under cooked. Not so undercooked as to be completely raw, but undercooked enough that I spent two hours after leaving the restaurant evacuating my bowels. My friend did the same. When I attempted to speak to the manager, Bob, about the level of doneness of my wings, he stated that since I ate them all, I wasn't entitled to a free meal. I can understand this and I did make the choice to eat them even though they were slightly undercooked, but I was just hoping to let him know that the kitchen was putting out food that shouldn't be served to customers. I wasn't looking for a free meal. Overall, the food is actually fairly decent, as long as it's cooked all the way. Also, if you do decide to eat here, please tip your servers. They are being paid less than minimum wage and the tips are supposed to bring the hourly wage above minimum wage. If a server does a good job, he/she deserves at least a standard tip, which is approaching 20% in the US. Don't be cheap because you don't feel like tipping, Getting stiffed on a $300 table is ludicrous. read more

Although it was a BBQ restaurant, there was no BBQ/Char/smoke on the meat at all. We ordered pulled chicken, brisket (which tasted like roast beef with BBQ Sauce), and chicken (which was simply baked). This was the worst BBQ experience of my life. Good thing the waitress was attentive and the drinks were good or this place would've only received one star. read more

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. This is my favorite barbeque restaurant anywhere. It's my happy place. From the nachos, chili, and hush puppies to the pulled meats, ribs, smoked sausage, and perfect potato salad, to the banana pudding for dessert. My biggest problem is choosing what I want because choosing one thing means not getting something else. If you just want to love your food, go here. read more

Always a great meal: fast, hot, cheerfully served and very tasty! I know they have many good items on the menu but I always get the pulled pork. We come here so often the waitstaff all know us. Love it here. read more

Red Hot & Blue - Love it here! - Barbeque Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

Didn't really care for the BBQ the onion stack was really dry didn't care for it. The people were very friendly

We have been celebrating special family events here for years and love the fantastic food and service. With four children and seven grandchildren we have quite a few birthdays to celebrate. My wife and I went the other night on a date. Wet ribs for two is our usual and everything was great. We even have enough leftover ribs to take home for another meal. The wait staff is excellent and we now know many of them by name, including the owners. You won't be disappointed if you make Red Hot and Blue a regular night out. read more
