We've seen this food truck many times over the years and finally stopped in for a couple pulled pork sandwiches and sides to bring home for lunch. The folks here are friendly and service is pretty quick. Prices are fair. They have most everything a southern BBQ joint would have, except beef. Once home we cracked into lunch... it all looked and smelled pretty good. But everything except the smoked mac & cheese was way too salty. The smokey flavor of the pork and the beans were good, but the salt level in both was ridiculously high, same with the cole slaw. It's a shame because the flavors were decent if there wasn't so much salt. Sauces were just ok, nothing special there. Not sure what happened with the seasonings, but doubt I'll return. read more

Rib tip sandwich was great. Very tasty. Service was very quick & personable. Could have had a trash can as we sat on our tailgate.

These guys and gals do an amazing job with their food and service! Been getting rids from them for at least 10 years and they take pride in all the serve and do!! 10 STARS read more

Every time my husband and I - we are never disappointed. They are professional, courteous and food taste good. Our favorite is the rib tip sandwich however try what they have on the menu. You won't be disappointed read more

I'm a fan of TNTz's ribs! Make sure you have your eyes peeled, as this BBQ stand is set up right off a small little service road before an intersection. There was even an Amazon guy who pulled over to the emergency lane to get himself a meal! The menu offers ribs, chicken, pulled pork, hot dogs, and turkey legs. Sides consist of baked beans, collard greens, coleslaw, and potato salad. The hubs and I decided to go for their 1/2 rack of ribs and a pulled pork sandwich, with the 4 sides to try them all. The pulled pork was just okay, and the 'Carolina' sauce that they had, I was just not a fan - it was a vinegary/mustardy/thicker sauce, but didn't really taste like the typical - I believe it was TNT's own rendition. I did like their sweet BBQ, as it was thick in consistency! The ribs, on the other hand, were so good! I could see why some noted that it was dry - it was definitely on the dry end, and not just the edges; I was just a fan of the spice rub that they used, as it made the ribs more flavorful than any other ribs I've had in a while! Just note that the ribs are also a little 'thinner' and 'flatter' than the usual ribs. We weren't a fan of the sides - the baked beans were too sweet and had an off taste to them; the greens were a bit potent, and we just weren't fans of the flavor. The coleslaw was creamy and was sweet, and the potato salad was vinegary and more on the sweeter end; the latter 2 were better than the others. There was definitely a line at this place, and it seemed like it's a favorite with the locals. People were eating by their cars and enjoying the nice air before hitting the road again. Definitely would come back for the ribs! +tasty ribs! +avoid the pulled pork and the sides +located right before the main intersection +opened only on weekends read more

This BBQ joint is only open on weekends. I've seen the food truck and smokers stationed next to Route 17 multiple times while running weekend errands, but on a quarantine-life Sunday I finally caved on the way back from a grocery run. Prices are not cheap, but I decided to get a pound of pulled pork ($16) to go. Once I got home I made some pulled pork sandwiches using the sweet BBQ sauce they provided (the other option was Carolina style sauce). The meat was DELICIOUS! It was juicy and smoky. Absolutely perfect and worth the money. If you're looking to feed an army (aka family), I think the per-pound offerings are a better deal. Take the meat home and fix it into sandwiches or a platter. The coleslaw was also very good and had a tinge if sweetness. A small container is $3.50. Overall, I loved their BBQ. There's plenty of parking and I'll certainly be back! read more

TNT'Z SMOKED BBQ - Pulled pork, coleslaw, sweet BBQ sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Stopped at the LidL and saw a that it was black owned and operated so we decided to try it. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and one of every side available. The only edible sidewalk were the smoked Mac N cheese & potatoes salad. The smoked baked beans, collard greens & pulled pork tasted like the salt box top broke while they were adding it. We could only take a tiny taste of each and had to throw it away it was so much salt. I really hope that this was a mistake, but that would mean only one dish would be extremely salty & not most of them. I think the prices are reasonable for this day and age where everything is high af. Again, I would love to see this business succeed so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CUT DOWN OM THE SALT AND TASTE THE FOOD BEFORE SERVING IT. read more

A lot of people recommend this BBQ so we finally tried. We ordered 2 half BBQ chicken (they were HUGE!) and potato salad & baked beans for the side. The amount of the side is big enough for 2 people. We also had 2 extra BBQ sauce but we didn't need to buy the extra because the sauce they give you free is enough. We thought the side wasn't that good (the potato salad was just okay, but the baked bean was too salty for us), but the BBQ chicken was VERY DELICIOUS!!!!! They know what they are doing. We definitely go back for BBQ chicken (but not the side). read more

Delicious. We look forward to it every year and my husband has to roll the windows down when we drive past and let the smoke waft through the truck. Very generous portions. read more

Well time for bed. This is my last review for tonight but I had to comment. Have been looking for real good BBQ since 1982. My Great Uncle who I affectionately called Big Daddy was a Master Grillsman and he taught his Male children and grandchildren and Son in laws exactly how it is done. So for me that means my options are limited so I'm willing to take my favorite ride to Fredericksburg to satisfy my itch. Either I gotta get on a plane and go to Los Angeles. read more

First time trying this place after driving by it daily.. I ordered a full rack of Ribs 28$ and a Turkey leg total came out to around 38 after taxes.. I have been smoking meat for over 25 year and for the price I was expecting more, the Turkey leg had good flavor but was dry. Same with ribs, flavor was nice but meat was extremely tough. When I bit down on ribs I don't expect to hear a crunching sound, which is exactly what I heard in multiple bites.. I like my ribs to be tender and pull away from the bone every so slightly, they don't have to be fall off the bone but shouldn't have same texture as a well done steak.. Based on reviews it's possible that maybe I had gotten a rack of ribs that were done well before I arrived and sat around for a while and dried out. It would be extremely difficult justifying going back. The young lady at the register was very nice. Both sauces were good as well! read more

When they say those roadside barbecue trailers are the best barbecue restaurants, they're talking about this place. Not only is their pulled pork sandwich the most delicious I've had in the nova area in a long time, it's reasonably priced as well! To top it all off the very first time I ate here, a young girl was selling lemonade for .50 a cup, and it was the best 3 cups of lemonade I'd ever had. If there's lemonade next time, I'd give it 6 stars. read more

I had forgotten that we went to an event and they were there with a few other Trucks. Oh my mmm- so good, juicy meat with a range of sauce styles to choose from. read more

Best BBQ in VA, no doubt about it! TNT'z Smoked BBQ is a food truck on rt 17. They have the smoker right next to the truck and the smell is incredible. Trust me when I say, you have to try it out. This is more of a pick up your food and eat in your car/home type of place. They don't have tables for you to eat at but who cares, I sure don't. The ribs are THAT good that I don't mind taking it to go. I've been to other BBQ food trucks before and I'm telling you, nothing compares to the ribs they have here. The ribs have a lot of meat on them and are always cooked perfectly. They have other options like chicken and pulled pork but I always stick with the full rack of ribs. The price point is also great for the amount of food you get. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is our Sunday lunch choice ! Everything from their food to their customer service is so great! Thankful to have them! I love their pulled pork & collards. My husband loves the ribs! read more

5 stars is earned and deserved. Out of towner from South Carolina who can't say anything wrong about this BBQ. The pork is smoked and tender and juicy!!!!!! The collards are amazing and being from South Carolina I like my mustard base BBQ sauce!! This place!!!! Is amazing!!!! I'd be someone who'd invest in this place just to keep a good place going!!! We live in Virginia Beach came north to Markham,Va and wanted some BBQ. We looked on here and found Shane's Rib Shack & McCoy's BBQ. Started reading reviews and didn't feel those who come from out of town thought those deserved it's 5 star reviews. This place!!!! Absolutely amazing. Came by it when we were heading to 95 back to VA Beach. Once we drove by it with Windows down we immediately made a U-turn. This place deserves it's 5 stars!! We got ribs, pull pork sandwich, collards, and baked beans everything we bought was 5 stars and 3 diamonds worth of greatness!! You'd be honestly doing something wrong if you didn't stop here before anywhere else for BBQ. read more

WOW!! My husband and I were on the way back from vacation, we had just stopped for food when we passed this place. The smell at the stop light made us turn right around. I am so glad we did!!! Everything was better than the next. We ordered Carolina sauce with our ribs but they do not need it! They are perfect. Their greens are the best I have ever had and the potato salad and cole slaw is incredible. MAKE THE STOP!! read more

WOW! All the way home I kept saying "I hope these ribs taste as good as they smell." They exceeded my expectations. I bought a slab, beans and greens for sides. The ribs were cooked well, tender and flavorful. The sides were delicious! Yum yum! read more

Absolutely the best BBQ in town; in fact, Top 5 All-Time, and I've lived in the Carolina's, Kansas City, and Texas. We've enjoyed TNT'Z BBQ for the last 8 years and look forward to opening day every spring. Check it out, promise you won't be disappointed. Thanks again! read more

I am from Alexandria and we picked up a rack of ribs and a pound of pork. It smelled great; however, it was overcooked and dried out. Wound up throwing it away. Hopefully we just got a bad batch. read more

The best part of the lunch was the greens. Ribs were a little dry on some and moist on the others. Pulled pork was as good as expected. Baked Beans didn't have much grill taste to them. Overall not bad. read more

I have mixed opinions about this place. On the plus side, the BBQ sandwiches that two friends and I got had very generous helpings of meat. The people in the truck were friendly and efficient. That part was great. The problems were mainly with the BBQ itself. It was the saltiest stuff that I've ever had--barely able to eat it--and my friends felt the same. It was also a very "wet" BBQ--not moist, but wet, as in soggy. The lower bun was soon mush. I'm not sure how they prepared the pork, but I have a very strong hunch that it is pre-cooked by simmering in brine to speed up the process, then put on a smoker to finish by giving it some smoked flavor ... but I could be wrong. That's just what it seemed like. It didn't taste like true pit-cooked pig, and I've eaten BBQ at many of the better known places east of the Mississippi. Also, the "Carolina BBQ sauce" that was given to us was nothing at all like either an eastern NC or western NC sauce. It was more of a Vidalia-honey sauce. It was good for what it was (suspect it was commercial), but not what we were expecting. I may have just picked a bad day when someone over-salted the meat, but I have no reason to go back there again. read more

I am from South Carolina and I grew up with good BBQ. This truck happens to park right outside of my neighborhood and anytime you walk outside you smell it. I couldn't take smelling it any longer so we gave it a try. It was amazing. The barbecue was not dry and their sauces are great!! I can't wait for this place to reopen! read more

Husband and I stopped on a whim coming back from vacation. This place needs to be featured on the Food Network or something. Phenomenally good food! read more

I was referred to them by a Facebook friend. I ordered a breast medium w/a cup of pickles and ranch. The crust was extra crispy and thick plus extremely too salty. I asked for medium heat because I love really hot chicken but it tasted like a mild or plain. I couldn't taste the heat at all. What I did like was I called 10minutes before they closed and my order was still taken and I was able to pick it up. I do appreciate that gesture because I'm pregnant and crave hot foods and had my mind set on hot chicken. If I do go back I just will have to order hot and recommend light seasoning or just simply try something else. read more

Best bbq around! The meat is super tender and the beans are amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a new place to eat. read more

Stopped for lunch on the way home from OBX. Good service and quick. Didn't know a pulled pork could be that delicious. BestBBQ I've ever had. Greens are spectacular, potato salad as well. The pork was just unbelievable, can't stress that enough. read more

Love the food, hate the "argument" over sauces. Give me the darn sauce! The sauces are so delicious and the food is always $50.00 or more for 2 people, ease up on the sauce stingyness. It's expensive but I'll pay for the Pork and ribs because it's worth it! 4 stars because the food is great, it would be 5 if Adults took the orders and sauces weren't like gold. The sides are definitely the best off of 17 for sure, and I think it's pretty much the only good bbq on 17! Need cornbread. read more

Not to pleased. No flavor, burned meat, pulled pork was terribly seasoned. Customer service was dry as well.

A marvelous sight and smell for a weary traveler trying to figure out what to grab for lunch on way to Richmond from Winchester. Turned around to check this place out and so glad I did. Pulled Pork sandwich, a rib sandwich, and a water with 2 mustard base sauces. $14. Didn't mind a bit, it was that good. The bbq was moist and smoky. The ribs perfect for snacking while driving and dipping with their cut up size. Can't wait to drive by again! read more

The absolute best bar-b-que on route 17. The staff is remarkable! Great customer service

Best place for BBQ ever!! Get so excited when I see them set up off Warrenton Rd. Great owners and amazing food! Worth every $ you spend.

We were in Fredericksburg for a football game. We passed this food truck going to the game. It smelled so good we had to stop on are way out. We stopped and got pulled pork bbq sandwiches and a rib sandwich. It was all delicious. Now I wish I would have got a full slab of ribs for Sunday dinner. Too bad I'm 3 hours away. Might have to make that drive. Lol read more

Great BBQ I love the ribs I've been going there for a couple of years never been disappointed.
