HISTORY

Our first recognition came from the legendary barbecue critic, Paul Harless, from the Lexington Collection, known as Pit Stops Along the Barbecue Highway. He wrote, “It’s durn near impossible to find decent barbecue in the state of Virginia, until now.” He described it as “a wood burning beacon of hope” and described our barbecue as a “whole hog version of pulled pork that is moist, tender and smoked to near perfection.”

Our history includes being the top ranked barbecue in Donovan Kelley’s heralded documentation, The Quest for the Holy Grill. Additionally, The Washington Post Magazine wrote “Walk in and the place looks like the real thing.” It looks like it, because it is the real thing. Ultimately, the Washington Post referred to Absolute BBQ’s pit master as “one of the Deep South’s barbecue kings.”

The king is back to reclaim his crown. Absolutely.
