The Virginia Barbecue Company

The Virginia Barbecue Company Restaurant Review:

If your family feuds about tomato- versus vinegar-based ’cue, head straight for this quirky little place, set up in a red-roofed century-old wood-frame house, because it’s offered North Carolina style (the latter) and Virginia (the former). The casual setting squeals homespun Americana. Step up to the counter to order one of the sandwiches (two is a better idea, and make those jumbos), for this pork is dotted with fire-blackened crunch and has smoky flavor. Also available: Texas barbecue beef brisket and chicken barbecue. Among side dishes, we suggest the potato salad starring roasted red potatoes tossed with a perky dressing, corn pudding nuggets and sweetish baked beans. Brownies and blondies are swell ways to cap off your meal, so don’t skimp when it comes to dessert. Multiple franchises.
