They slow smoked with hickory wood in a pit. But its gone now, BBQ World in Burke. A real surprising place, many years back I knew a Greek who owned Pigs BBQ in Rockville. He told me how hard it was to get permits ect for a real hickory BBQ pit. Well BBQ World had just that,he burned hickory wood really slow , he slow smoked ribs, chickens, all day and turkeys at holidays.
The famed Dixie Pig on Rt 1 had a Ok BBQ, and it was by looks a real BBQ place. Long gone today. I never tried Roy Jeffersons BBQ but I heard it was good also and its gone too. As well as the place in Manassas by Yorkshire.
Willards is good they cook in some type of bbq oven, Red Hot and Blue have some kind of oven that injects a smoke flavor from what I have heard.Their potato salad is great and often copied, their BBQ is good.
The Smoke Shack in Maryland Oxen Hill is good also, people line up at the time the ribs are done. Johnny Boys in La Plata Md had good BBQ years back, Then they started making rubber ribs and after a few more trys I gave up on them.
Allmans in Fredericksburg has good BBQ and super cole slaw with the old time boiled dressing
>.....Please someone tell me where the best BBQ can be found in Fairfax County and I will try it.
In your back yard on a Weber BBQ like the Fat Man does it , and about 6 hours time
Otherwise forget Fairfax, Try the Smoke Shack in Maryland. You will have to see what time the ribs will be ready, Try about 3pm Theres a Harley Davidson shop down the street to eyeball bikes to pass some time. It's on Livingston Road off Indian Head Highway just over the WW bridge, A liquor store Sunnybrook is on the corner of Livingston and Indian Head.
The Fat Man AKA Ye Ole Woodson Man but some of you could tell that by my famous flat thumb as in the Best Cheesesteaks of Fairfax Co thread LOL!
