Virginia Barbeque

I don’t consider this to be real BBQ. Find a real Texas BBQ place and order the brisket! Then you can say you have had real BBQ.

Had this for catering. Bland, tasteless to say the least. The meat is so dry there isn’t enough BBQ sauce in the world to save it. The potato salad was under cooked in the middle and the hushpuppys must have been leftovers from the day before. Save your money.

Today we had lunch in Valley Mall while waiting for our car to be serviced at Sears. We choose VA BBQ over the other «mall food» because of our past good experience while in their former location near HCC. While the menu has changed, the pork is still top notch. As far as sides go, the potato wedges missed the mark both in appearance and flavor-​wedges were dark an not very tasty other than the seasoned salt on top, but the sweet potato fries were good (for $ 1.00 more).
We miss the old location.

I had the Georgia BBQ combo with sweet tea, slaw, and cornbread side. It was pretty decent for fast food. The Georgia was pretty sweet, as expected, but I think the slaw would compliment one of the more vinegar based or salty BBQ options since it’s sweet as well. The cornbread wasn’t the best, tasted a lot like jiffy, but with an odd texture… it was baked then covered in Saran Wrap for storing so the condensation made it soggy. The sweet tea was spot on! Best sweet tea I’ve had since living in the south. I’d definitely order them again, but would consider another side. The staff was also very pleasant and attentive, the processed my order quickly and with a smile.

When you order from a mall food court you know you are getting fast food. But even fast food should be good.
This is not the case for chicken barbecue. I ordered the barbecue sampler platter: North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee BBQ. The side dish was baked beans.
First the good news. The baked beans were excellent. Not too sweet and very flavorful. The iced tea was also very good.
BUT the BBQ portions were tiny. I expected to be overwhelmed with food and I was underwhelmed.
The Virginia barbecue was reasonably tasty but the other 2 wee very bland and stringy.
Too bad because I love BBQ.

I am picky about my BBQ but tried this as they had a vinegar based sauce and it is healthier than other options in the mall. I have only gotten the BBQ baked potato (tasty and cheap — only 5 bucks) and find it to be good. The restaurant front is clean and haven’t had any complaints with the service. Pretty darn good for a mall food court!

Very good Barbecue
I had the Pulled pork Sandwich it was very good… took one bite with out the «hot» sauce just to say that I tried it with out the sauce and its very good Barbecue. The Red potato salad was a little dry for my tastes but very good.
I will be back.

Hey Virginia Barbeque at the Mall which is way better than the other fast food choices. I’m not sure why I hold it at 3 stars but it’s just missing a little edge.
Friendly service, menu on the wall is pretty tough to read because it seems to be tiny print. The walk up itself is clean, nicely lit and very well presented. There was a flat screen just next to the register but my husband and I were a little curious about its purpose, it wasn’t on and didn’t seem to have one.
Sandwich combos are a little pricier than your standard fast food but the quality of the sandwiches out weigh fast food and therefor make it worh the little bit extra. Darn tasty with several choices of sauce so you can make it as gooey as you want it.
Have to say the fries are great, made as ordered so you have a moment to wait but you get perfect fries. Side choices include:
French Fries
Roasted Red Potato Salad
Southern slaw
Baked Beans
Corn Bread Muffins
The corn muffin was yummo although literally a single bite size! It was like a teaser!
