HOF44 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm going this Saturday afternoon. Supposed to be damn good beat Bobby Flay on TV. Any Richmond regulars wanna weigh in??? Is it as good as they say?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins0721 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yeah, it's pretty damn good. I usually get the chopped sammich with a side of sweet potato fries. I have been known to wolf down a few ribs now & then, too. Which location are you going to? Just an fyi...the original restaurant on Boulevard will be walking distance to the Skins preseason practice facility. Are you doing some early season scouting?

Rocky21 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hey HOF44. Yeah it's good but overpriced IMHO. I think Extra Billy's in Richmond is better but there was no TV show about it. Don't let me get you down. You'll like it. Pulled pork sammy or ribs you can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins0721 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Agreed that it's pricey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooHog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Buz & Ned's is good. If you're in town for long enough to eat two BBQ meals, you should also try Ronnie's Ribs Wings & Things. It's basically a little trailer at the corner of 25th & Main, but it's amazing. My personal favorite in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants were dirty and the Q was sub par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm a regular. It's fantastic. It is pricey. I drive down there at least once every four or five weeks from Fredericksburg. You can not go wrong with a rack or a sandwhich. It's just good all the way around. If I may recommend, get a half-rack of pork, half-rack of beef, cornbread, baked beans, and lemonade. It doesn't get any better than that. You also may want to keep going down Boulevard and walk it off for a bit at Maymount Park... because it's an ass whooping of a meal but it's fantastic. Hope you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I went to a place called Black Sheep, or something like that down there. Subs named after U.S.S ship. It was delish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve09ru Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I have eaten there once and enjoyed it - another great place is Dickey's BBQ - like Buzz & Ned's though, a little pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB452 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Go to the one on the Blvd near the Diamond. My brother lives in Richmond and says that one is better than the one on West Broad. BTW, I was using their sauce on some of the ribs I had at the ES tailgate in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's up there on Boulevard not too far from the Diamond and the Greyhound station. I used to go there in college every now and then. It's great. But it gets crowded as all hell on certain days. I like the pulled pork BBQ sandwiches best. That's probably my #1 comfort food of all time, but I actually don't really like ribs as much as I should. I was actually present when they filmed the episode where they beat Bobby Flay. They filmed it on the campus of University of Richmond when I was a sophomore or a junior in front of the chapel. I didn't get on TV but I was in the crowd and ate some of the food. IIRC, Bobby Flay didn't have a smoker and didn't smoke his meat, as such, it wasn't true barbecue. I don't see how he expected to get around that.

Ronnie's is no longer at the corner of 25th and Main, they're now inside Vision nightclub in the Bottom ( i know) during the day. Still worth a try IMO.

Forehead Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Besides making me hungry, this thread begs the question. When did Richmond suddenly become a barbeque hotbed? Did they have some huge influx of residents move in from KC or the Carolinas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I appreciate this thread. I been looking for awesome BBQ places to try. ---------- Post added February-15th-2013 at 08:21 AM ---------- Besides making me hungry, this thread begs the question. When did Richmond suddenly become a barbeque hotbed? Did they have some huge influx of residents move in from KC or the Carolinas? Well Cook Out brought NC BBQ to the area(Richmond was the first city it expanded to from NC) and people loved it. Lines were wrapped around Laburnum. Honestly I think Richmond just loves its BBQ.

As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, Bill's Barbecue 1st opened in 1930 & sold NC style bbq until it closed last year. I thought Cookout was known more for it's milkshakes & hamburgers then its bbq... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Cookout was known more for it's milkshakes & hamburgers then its bbq... I should have been specific. Cook Out was a strictly NC place until it expanded. Yes, they are known for milkshakes but they are quite popular for their BBQ. It wasn't so much the NC style as the fact that they brought a piece of NC to Richmond. All my OBX friends were celebrating when they got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HooHog Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Holy ****. This is a crucial piece of info. Thanks. Haha, yeah. I'd still give it a try. They're open 11:30-7 and it's not bad down there during the day. I don't think Vision was even open during those hours before Ronnie's moved in. They made the move because the owner of the lot the trailer was on wouldn't renew their lease (Kind of like The Tavern in CVille - RIP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
