Triple Crown BBQ

Five stars for outstanding BBQ. The sampler was so good that I bought a second to take back home to Pennsylvania to share with friends. The owner was very friendly and it was interesting sitting at the picnic table with the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the background. Will definitely go back when visiting Shenandoah National Park.

Hands down! Simply the BEST BBQ and sides than any place we have ever eaten. And that says a lot.

Stumbled upon this place (after visitingLuray Caverns) due to all of the great Unilocal reviews. The 2 ladies working there were polite and extremely patient. We got the meat platter and the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw which were great portion sizes. The pulled pork was as good as all the other reviews said that it was. While we were waiting on our food, which wasn’t long at all — not even 10min — we tried ALL of the barbecue sauce options they had available.
Plan to return when we are back in the area!

We visited this place after going to Luray Caverns. First off, I’ve eaten plenty of BBQ places, and by far this place has some of the best BBQ you will ever taste. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and covered it with their smoked honey BBQ sauce. You will not find a better pulled pork sandwich on the planet. Then their baked beans! Omg if you do not order their beans just go home. It has slices of apples in it that gives it an awesome sweetness. I wish this place was closer to DC, I would for sure be a regular customer. Don’t hesitate to check this place out. You wont be disappointed. The lady that ordered in front of me drove 2 hours for their pulled pork sandwich. I don’t blame her lol. The cooks are also super friendly.

We got the meat sampler with side of potato salad and cole slaw, 2 of us ate on it with left overs! Awesome flavor, didn’t even need sauce. 25.00! We will be back for sure!

This little hut was a pleasant surprise! We stopped after an afternoon with Virginia Canopy Tours (so fun!) and weren’t starving, so my husband and I split a pulled pork sandwich and a corn muffin.
All of the employees were really pleasant and helpful, even though there was quite a crowd and they were obviously busy.
The sandwich was really good, and we tried all the different sauces, just for fun. It’s hard to pick a favorite though, they were all good.
The corn muffin was SUPER sweet. It was good but be warned that its really almost more of a cupcake in taste and consistency. Obviously still delicious.

Easily the best pulled pork I have ever eaten and I’ve eaten a lot of pulled pork! The pork is perfectly cooked — tender and nicely shredded with the perfect amount of smokey flavor. They have 5 different types of BBQ sauce to choose from. Our favorites were the honey BBQ and the triple crown secret recipe. It’s a huge sandwich but you’ll be able to finish it no problem it’s so good!
Oh and don’t forget the corn muffin! So good!

So after going to the Luray Caverns, I looked on Unilocal for quick bite to eat close by. Triple Crown BBQ was the first place that popped up and had high reviews. It’s is a small restaurant, but don’t let that fool you. The moment I stepped up, the man and woman working there were so nice and hospitable, they both gave me southern hospitality and made me feel at home.
Their menu had a plethora of BBQ choices! All of which looked amazing!
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with slaw on top and home made sweet tea. The moment I took that first bite I was in heaven! Their BBQ is amazing!!! I loved how there were many choices of sauces that you could pair with your BBQ. All the sauces are tasty and were perfect.
If I’m ever back in this area again, I will defiantly come back!

My bf, some friends and I went camping in Shenandoah National Park, and visited Luray Caverns on the way. We wanted a place to grab a good lunch before we headed to our camp site. We got there shortly after they opened so we didn’t have to wait too long in line.
My bf ordered half a rack of ribs between the two of us and we ended up having to get another half rack because it was so tasty and we weren’t quite satisfied. The ribs and sauces with baked beans was so good. The meat just fell off the bone. This is a great place to get really good food if you’re visiting the caverns or Shenandoah Valley. Would definitely return whenever we’re back visiting.

My boyfriend and I stopped here after a day at Luray Caverns. I have to say that not only was the food delicious, but the customer service was the best we experienced on our road trip through Virginia! The woman who owns/​runs the joint was very kind and patient with first-​time, tourist patrons.
She recommended the sliced, cold brisket, and let us try a sample because it’s not your usual brisket fare. It was smokey, buttery, and amazing. We got that and the pulled pork. Both were lip-​smackingly wonderful. We loaded up on potato salad (also yummy) and tried all the sauces that were available. Our styrofoam plates looked clean and unused by the time we were done!
This is definitely one of those spots you hit on a road trip that makes you sad you don’t live in the area. I’ve been craving it since I got back to New York.
Again, do yourself a favor and stop in here. Good prices, clean atmosphere, super kind owner. And it was the only spot we stopped in Virginia where, as two gay men, we didn’t get any weird looks or vibes. Can’t tell you how refreshing that was after a couple of tense meals the day before!

I thought i wrote a review on here already. My husband and I are super fans!!! and every time i’m in the area i crave this place. Unfortunately when i was here this spring i showed up while they were cleaning, getting ready to open the NEXT weekend.
THEN while i was here for a whole week for my wedding, every time i stopped by i was already too late — and of course, what with wedding festivities and prep all weekend I wasn’t able to get away or already had meals The only time I had time was of course during the week day and they were closed.
SO sO SO SAD
But I have eaten here 3 times last year, and each time was amazing. So. There’s that. Maybe one day my husband and i will come through Luray again to relive wedding celebrations and eat here again.
We would have made this our wedding caterer, or at least Welcome dinner catering, but we had a BBQ for our wedding that smoked on site, otherwise these guys are your guys!

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That’s right this place is so good. The BBQ is amazing and the prices are very affordable. What else can you ask when traveling with the family?
Note: The place is located on Hwy 211 near the intersection of General Dr.

In Luray for the caverns? Do yourself a favor and come here for BBQ. Roadside place with tables and shade. It’s going to feel like family because this is a family enterprise. Mom, Dad and the kids, providing friendly service and great food. We had the sampler, so we know that the ribs, chicken, sirloin tips and pulled pork are all excellent. Had the lemon pie too, also great. Bargain prices, big portions, great food, wonderful service. This place is a winner!

This is basically a food truck (you can still see the wheels and place for a license plate) with a BBQ grill at one end, completely unpretentious, grab a fork, food in styrofoam containers, sit at umbrella’d picnic tables. Parked in the lot between Great Southern Mini-​Storage and furniture shop, across the highway from Walmart and Auto-​Zone. Blink and you’ll miss it.
Their meats are deliciously smoked and fork tender. We ordered the sliced tri-​tip sirloin Hard to find but so worth it.

This a permanent food truck type place that is only open Friday — Sunday. We stopped here while in Luray and we each had the ½ pound pulled pork sandwiches. I added coleslaw and potato salad. Then I added corn muffins and a slice of the dessert of the day — chocolate cream pie. The pulled pork was moist and flavorful and delicious. The bun was toasted and tasted great. We loved the coleslaw and also the potato salad. The corn muffins were small and quite tasty. The chocolate cream pie was amazing. They have a variety of BBQ sauces you can add to your pork, beef or chicken.

EXCELLENT BBQ! So good that when we were «done» we went back to order more ribs, and I’m writing this review with fingers still sticky from the sauce!!!

A great place to stop for some awesome bbq! Pulled up and it smelled amazing. We were pleasantly welcomed by the family who runs the business and you could tell they enjoyed what they do.
Great pulled pork sandwich but also try the sampler!

Really enjoyed this bbq after a long afternoon at Luray Caverns. We ordered a half-​rack of ribs and two Carolina-​style barbecue sandwiches. The ribs were amazing and the pork was delicious, but the coleslaw on the sandwiches was lacking.
We will be back for sure.

Being from the South I have had my fair share of ribs with that said i have not tasted any ribs quite like this. The meat felt right off the bone smoked perfectly and covered with their home made sauce. I recommend this place to anybody and everybody in the area.

This roadside spot is open during the warmer months and is always busy. Here you stop by, place your order and grab some sauce and go. It’s a take-​out type place.
Be sure to stop by earlier in the day as some of the more popular fare can be gone by the time you get there. The food is always amazing. Be sure get some sides to complete your meal!
