Where Smoke Meets Soul, and the Flavor Doesn’t Quit
If you’re cruising through Rockville with a craving that only real-deal barbecue can satisfy, pull over and let Mackie’s Barbecue take the wheel. This family-owned gem is slinging Texas-style ‘cue with Maryland heart, and trust me, it’s the kind of takeout that makes you feel like you just sat down at Grandma’s Sunday table.
Let’s talk meat: for around $70 (tips, tax, and all), you get a full rack of ribs and half a pound of brisket that could feed three hungry folks for two days. That’s not just a good deal, it’s a flavor investment. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone tender with a smoky bark that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds. The brisket? Sliced thick, juicy, and kissed with just the right amount of smoke. It tastes like it’s been marinating in anticipation of your arrival.
And the sides? Oh, baby. Sweet, creamy mac & cheese, potato salad with a tangy kick, and cornbread that’s got that golden crust and soft center, each bite is a love letter to comfort food. You’re not just eating, you’re indulging.
No frills, no fuss, just takeout that feels homemade, like someone’s been tending the smoker all day just for you. Mackie’s doesn’t do dine-in, but who needs a seat when the flavor stands tall?
So if you’re looking for BBQ that brings the heat, the heart, and the hospitality, Mackie’s Barbecue is your go-to pit stop. Highly recommend. This is the kind of place that makes you want to grab a napkin, roll up your sleeves, and dive in.
Keep it smoky, keep it saucy, Mackie’s is the real deal. ️

No no no… if you are hoping for Texas BBQ (or even good/solid bbq) this is not the place. Their brisket is grey (with no smoke band) – and sits in a liquid. Ribs are dry and no flavor to the meat. Wings are ok – but again, not much smoke… I don’t think they even have a proper smoker.
Sides are good but are you really there for sides? I really hoped this was going to a diamond in the rough or other hidden great place… but sadly, it is not.
Brisket: 1/5. Really poor. Grey and not properly prepared.
Ribs: 1/5 Dry. Bones don’t pull out easily (as they should with proper bbq) and meat is not seasoned (only outside).
Chicken (smokehouse): 3/5 Decent but no real distinct hickory flavor.
Pulled pork: 3.5/5 Best of the bbq options but not really smoked. Tastes the same as if you put into a slow cook oven. At least it was not dry.
Baked beans: 5/5 Hard to mess up on beans. These are SWEET though, but I like beans sweet so personal preference.
Coleslaw: 5/5 Tasted exactly as it should.
Cornbread: 2/5. Dry. Not enough corn flavor. I saw boxes of Ducan Hines mix… If they indeed used a mix, I would have actually expected it to be better.

The ribs and brisket were okay but needed more salt/flavor. The brisket had a nice smoky flavor but wasn’t as tender as I like when I get brisket. The Mac and cheese was really cheesy. Not bad, but nothing spectacular though. The chicken salad was really enjoyable and my kids loved the cornbread!

Very disappointing. Website makes it sound like an old family spot that has downsized to this one location. Instead, this is clearly food that is being churned out somewhere and reheated here. The cornbread doesn’t have much flavor and the meats just have a lot of sauce poured over them. I hate to be so negative, but it was very pricey and really a disappointment.

I’m not typically one to post critical reviews based on taste…taste is an opinion and I don’t think mine is particularly worthy of reading.
What makes this easy is that Mackie’s appears to no longer trim their brisket, and that’s just bad customer service, taste aside.
As others have said, it’s been grey all three times I’ve ordered. But today, they left the fat cap on, giving me about 40% meat by volume.
I am absolutely awful at trimming a brisket and I’ve never left even 25% of the fat they did today. That was a business decision they made to pass waste along to the customer at the price of food, no thanks guys.

Take out store front, with perfectly hickory smoked meat and a variety of sides. Order in advance for easy-to-use packaging. Make sure you are a regular patron and support this special business.

Just Okay.. Ribs were super tender, but there was ZERO smoke flavor!! Nada! None! Taste like oven barbecue. I had to swim through all of the fat to get to the meat, (photo). No amount of sauce can replace genuine smoke flavor. I’m from Houston – I was hoping this hit home. It did not! I can for the smoke! If you’re okay with an oven-like taste and really good sauce, give them a shot.

We had a small wedding in our backyard in May 2018 and catered from Mackie’s. The food is fantastic! They have a location in Gaithersburg – which I think is mainly their catering facility. Their main location is in Frederick.
We ordered: crab balls, jalapeno poppers, pulled chicken, beef brisket, cole slaw, Texas caviar, corn bread, and the Mac & cheese. They were able to accommodate us and make a vegetarian dish that was not on their menu.
They also provided dinner rolls, wire racks (had to return), and the warmers.
Mr. Makki was very professional and kind and was easy to contact via phone or email.
We definitely recommend them for small or large parties or just to go and eat there. Unfortunately, we don’t have many pictures of the food – but several guests commented on how good the food was and their lemonade was the best i’ve ever tasted!

Located in a business complex straight down Ziggy Lane, Mackies offers up no-nonsense, full-bore delicious BBQ. The ribs have been cooked to perfection both times we have ordered them, and the chicken wings were somewhat dry, but had a delicious, but not overpowering, smoke flavor. The BBQ sauce has some heat and some sweet, without one dominating the other. Quite good.
The less I say about the green beans, the better. However, the Missus (bless ‘er) tells me that they are done in a traditional Maryland-style, so there you have it.
The Kid loved the cornbread- which is saying something because we make plenty of fresh cornbread around our house and we we know the difference between good cornbread and so-so.
The staff were pleasant and had our orders ready to go by the time we arrived.
Shall continue to order from Mackies…

This is more than five star food; this is five star treatment as well! Cameron, the owner’s son, went out of his way to graciously answer all of my questions and cooked all of the food I purchased immediately before I had scheduled to pick it up. Who does that!? 🙂
The food was truly exceptional. The ribs were done to perfection. I am obsessed with the smokehouse wings (pic shows sauce on side), and the slaw, mac, and cornbread were phenomenal. Hands down the best spot for bona-fide Barbecue!
