Just okay. Rib tips were chewy. They were smoky but needed a tad more seasoning. Smoked Chicken was flavored well but dried out. The only side worth it were their greens. Good Pot Licka' but could tell these were left over, as they were extremely cooked down. Potato Salad too watery and not enough seasoning. Mac & Cheese VERY peppery and congealed. Cheese seemed to be Velveeta based vs Roux or Shredded. They were sold out of the Brisket so...get there early. BEST Sauce: Carolina Gold!!! Spicy Sweet follows. Service is top notch! Friendly, personable and as swift as possible. read more

Lunch order did not look anything like the pictures. Sauce was loaded upside down and poured over everything in the bag. Fish was dry and hard. Ended up throwing the whole thing away. Never again.. read more

Pulled pork sandwich was too wet, the roll got overly soggy and I gave up on it. Selection of sauces is good, should fit most tastes. Fries were overcooked. No cornbread available. Cole slaw just ok. read more

Food was fantastic. every time I come here it's feels like home. everything there tastes amazing and was perfectly cooked. the chicken cooked with the tenderness and care a mother has for her child. The brisket is like a first love's kiss, the portions leave you full. i have never felt anything but love from the staff there. The first time I went there was magic. walking in to wonderful music and a smokey smelling room set the scene immediately and completes the restaurant like a mosaic. All in all Uncle D's is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants. read more

Incredible food, service was top shelf. The ribs are the best I have had in southern maryland, better than any big box store. I shall be a repeat customer. read more

Food and service was the best in the county! I got the rib tips with coleslaw and fries. Best ribs that I have ever had!

We are from out of town and had a disappointing lunch at Uncle D's. The meat is favorable but man was it dry. The rib tips are sideways cuts off the rib ends but the meat was too dry to separate meat from bone easily. That was the main part of the meal. The people were very friendly and sides were decent. read more

I do not often go the BBQ places out in town because most the time it's not real BBQ. This place thou...ridiculous!!! Smoke chicken to die for! Ribs that make you wanna slap somebody. Huge sides! Customer service was on point and was proud to support this minority and veteran owned business. Whenever I'm in town I will always stop back here! Gotta end this review and take a nap! read more

Hosting foody friends for dinner on a summer Saturday evening, we wanted to be sure to impress after having eaten glorious meals at their home in the past. We ordered the "Family Meal" (for four) to take out and bring home that included grilled sausage, ribs, and pulled pork. The meal comes with two sides. Oh what a great call! The meal was smoky delicious! The pull pork was especially moist and amazing, but the whole meal was enjoyed by all. I didn't think it could taste any better until I ate the leftovers the next day. You'll love the smell of the place when you walk it, but expect to smell the lingering woody smoke on your clothes after the visit. That's ok though because that's how you can pull off having grilled it yourself! We walked in, placed our order and were told it would be ready for pick up in 30 minutes! That's crazy impressive on a walk-in notice Saturday afternoon order! The employees were friendly, positive and helpful! They display enthusiasm, passion and pride for their business! We'll be back again! High-5 Uncle D! I'll have to ask if there is really an Uncle D behind the name of the business! read more

Great service, Quality Food Looking for a great BBQ SPOT this should definitely and surely be the place you stop at!! read more

Fish Dinner Not a fan, not close. The fish is dry and overcooked. Tastes like it was cooked in old grease. I tried to make it palatable by adding hot sauce. I guess it's my fault for going to a BBQ place and ordering fish. Lesson learned. read more

Uncle D's Grill - Fish Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

Here's a great find of you are the kind of foodie who is on the lookout for your local diners and dives that know their niche and do their food type well. Uncle D's is a true southern style BBQ with tender juicy bbq seasoned with perfect spice and crusted with the perfect crisp. Homemade bbq sauces -- the smoky one is my favorite -- and the classic southern coleslaw. Perfectly cooked fries to top it off. Nice proprietor in this truly small guy operation. Dine in is a bit of dive... but not dirty or uncomfortable. I hung out for an hour enjoying the food, the AC, and the rhythm and blues music. read more

Uncle D's Grill - Sampler - Barbeque Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

Found this place through Facebook! Everything we had was excellent!!! The ribs were my favorite, just how I like them! Tender and flavorful but not falling off the bone. The rub was great and I love that the sauce is served on the side. I'm a dry rib fan but do like a bit of sauce here and there. Almost every menu item comes with two sides. We tried them all! Coleslaw was good not to sweet and just the right texture. Potato salad was sweet but had a vinegar zip. Baked beans were good, but man those fries omg! Loved that they topped them with the ribs or rib tips. The flavor just seeped into the fries, they were super good! Will definitely be back! read more

As reviewed before...great food, large portions, and you will not be disappointed! Check out Uncle D's. Get your smoke on....

Got the 301 combo with 3 bones, 2 wings, and 2 sausage link and a Diet Coke. Comes with fries, cole slaw, and a l poop on my couple slices of bread. Enjoy! read more

Always finger licking good. 301 Combo is a must order. Add the extra ribs cause you will need them.

Very helpful staff and good food. Hot link was juicy, wings were good (cooked twice, smoked first then fried), and ribs have a good rib. Aunt Rose bbq sauce had a great flavor. All meals come with two sides. Beans were decent, cole slaw needs a little seasoning. Would go back for more wings and to try the pulled pork sandwich. read more

Uncle D's Grill - 301 Combo and Small Rib tips - Barbeque Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

I wish I was thinking about this review before I ate all of my food. Some say a picture is worth a 1000 words, or seeing is believing. I called in and ordered the rib tips and it comes with two sides, the rib tips and fries were great. The portion for what you pay is below market pricing. The customer service was great, all condiments in the bag and ready to go, no extended waiting period. I told them I would be there in 10 minutes and they knew my order would be ready. I had the smoke wings before and the were good too. I hope this review helps other see they are other eating options in the Square Lexington Park, MD read more

I love finding BBQ joints especially when a large BBQ chain is down the street. Uncle D's is a winner for ribs! I tried the rib tips and hot links. The homemade sweet & smoky BBQ sauce made this memorable and I plan to return to just drink the BBQ sauce. Thank you to Ira the pitmaster. read more

I was in town for the day and decided to stop by to check it out this place. Just small restaurant but very clean, I was impressed with the excellent reception and great customer service from the staff. Something that Big joints are really missing out these days. The food: let me tell you... Just 5 stars all the way. Don't pass out the opportunity to go check it out. read more

Uncle D's Grill - 1/2 slab 6 bones with fries and beans - Barbeque Near Me - Lexington Park, Maryland

This place is very nasty and the owner is extremely unpleasant. I witnessed the owner drop chicken into the ground and then proceed to serve it to me. when I confronted him about this he became very defensive and yelled at me and refused to issue you me a refund. I did not eat the food and I will certainly never return read more

Tried to give this guy a chance, but the food was horrible (ribs) undone. And a half eaten rib bone was in my order. I guess I got this treatment because I once returned some chicken. Not ever again. read more

Going to start this review off by saying I wouldn't only say that my food experience wasn't enjoyable, but also the customer service. I went to Uncle D's Grill today with my mother for the first time pretty excited after reading all the reviews. I had high hopes that we were going to be receiving great food; especially for the price it was listed at. $50 for just 2 of us (including 15% tip), the guy was nice taking our order and all seemed well so I didn't mind adding an extra tip. We were told 10 minutes wait time, which is no biggie at all. We sat down, the restarting had a faint foul odor but nothing too bad. 20 minutes pass and still no food, but this wasn't an issue since we came as soon as they opened so hopefully everything was fresh! We got our food after around 25 minutes, and a couple things already seemed off. The potato salad was very watery, and after taking a bite it tasted like it was made with canned potatoes. They had a pretty nasty and foamy texture when biting into them, and it tasted way too sweet. The greens were alright, but they felt almost too soft and dissolved in your mouth in the not so good way. Getting to the main part of the dish, the fish, was absolutely HORRIBLE. It had a foul smell, borderline between too fishy and straight up rotten. It was a little tough, and when breaking it apart it was also dry. It didn't even take 2 bites to know this fish was rotten and not up to any restaurant quality, let alone the expensive price I paid for it. It stunk very bad, and tasted even worse. I'm writing this review nearly 2 hours after and still have the nasty sour aftertaste of the fish still left in my mouth. We brought this up to the guy who took our order, he even admitted that we got the last fish off of an old batch! Didn't offer half refund, or anything. Just admitted he was wrong and apologized. Why serve something you know isn't up to par, especially when we spent over $20 a person and gave tip. This is terrible customer service; I have gotten better at McDonalds. I will never ever return to this place, nor will I ever recommend this to anyone. Take yourself 10 minutes up the road to Mission BBQ and get some good barbecue and fish! It is mediocre at best, and we for sure didn't even get that. Absolutely shameful. read more

The young lady who took my order was very sweet. My father and I ordered the 301 combo ( ribs, chicken, 2 sides) the chicken wasn't prepared so we had extra ribs. They were VERY dry like they'd been over cooked, barely got any meat off the bone it was just crumbles. So disappointing because the reviews I've read don't match my experience read more

The food was amazing, not sure if the guy who took my order was the owner or not but super friendly. My first trip ordered the rib tips and fries, everything was seasoned perfectly! I love the fact that they don't put the sauce on the ribs so you can actually taste the meat. The meat was amazing with it without the sauce, by the way the sauce is also spot on. For the price you are provided plenty of food, the small rib tip can feed you for at least two days ( it did in my case). My family will definitely be coming to back, this is our new favorite rib joint. read more

Stopped in for lunch and it was amazing. I got the small rib tips combo with coleslaw and baked beans and it was more food then I could eat. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and coleslaw and said it was amazing. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be a return customer. read more

Wasn't great. We got ribs they were okay the side however were horrible not fresh seems like frozen packs that were warmed up and served. Not really a place I have to go back to. Also turn some heat on in the place. read more

Great service and really good barbecue. Definitely recommend y'all to check them out.

I normally will not leave a review for any establishment. But I was so impressed with Uncle D's Grill today! I have finally found a real BBQ restaurant around here. The first thing that hit me when I walked in was the smell of hardwood smoke! I knew I was in for a treat!. I called in my order for a "301 Combo". My BBQ was hot and ready when I arrived. The Ribs, Chicken and Link were absolutely delicious and authentic. The smoke ring and bark on the ribs were some of the best I have ever enjoyed! The sides were amazing as well. I had the Baked Beans and Potato Salad. I can't wait to have lunch there tomorrow! read more

The Chicago style ribs were juicy and with just the right amount of smokiness. Both sauces added to the experience. I'm looking forward to trying their other offerings! read more
