The burnt ends were the BEST. All the sauces were great. Best ribs I’ve had in a long time, don’t even need sauce. All the sides were amazing too! Don’t miss the custard cornbread!

I’m not sure, but this could be the most delicious building in Virginia. The only reason I’m not sure is because I did not try the ice cream place on the back side of the building. It was not open!

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with the smoky mac & cheese for lunch. It was all delicious. The pork was moist and the mac & cheese was smoky and creamy. I tried three different sauces with the pork and they were all good. I think my favorite was the angry Texan.

Because I am a genius, I also ordered the burnt ends and beans to go so that I could have them for dinner. Even after being heated up in the microwave, it was all very good

The restaurant itself was cozy and I really enjoyed the music playlist. They played Nine Inch Nails and rage against the machine.

It makes me wish that I traveled through Purcellville more often to stop here. I will have to take my wife for a trip one weekend.

The cow udder styled sauce dispenser was funny and useful

Some of the best bbq I’ve had in Virginia and the Alabama White Chicken is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Burger was very tasty but a tiny bit overcooked. Had some take away burnt ends and ribs and was also 10/10. I’ll definitely be back

Great food! Awesome music and super friendly staff. The hot links the turkey, the ribs, the jalapeno poppers all excellent. Stop in. They have a full bar and you won’t get any better. Smoked meats, baked beans, coleslaw and just a great atmosphere to show up. Hang out. Hang out all day. Get your Billy full, get you a cold drink and listen to some hometown jams. We really enjoyed our stop and we will be back as soon as possible

This place is highly rated so we were excited to try it out. When we arrived, we noticed the full parking lot so obviously this is a well liked restaurant.

After we placed our order, we noticed the wide selection of 5 different bbq sauces. Unfortunately for me, they must have run out of burnt ends before we got there, so instead I got the pulled pork sandwich. By itself, I didn’t find that the pork itself stood out. But with the Carolina sauce, it was mighty tasty. That sauce was a good blend of Carolina spices without being too watery as is sometimes the case. Their spicy sauce angry Texan was also excellent. The baked beans were some of the best I’ve had. My wife had the brisket with corn bread and mac and cheese. The brisket was typical brisket and good. The mac and cheese didn’t stand out though the cheese sauce was fine. The cornbread was a good item but not the consistency of cornbread. It was actually very good but more of hand held corn pudding or an ooey gooey corn cake. Really, you need to try it but don’t be expecting classic cornbread.

I would come back here easily, hopefully to try the burnt ends.

This place is most likely the best bbq in Virginia. If you’re heading here from the DMV, don’t expect Purcellville prices to be lower than home.

Brisket is insanely juicy. Ribs pretty good too. Desserts hit.

AMAZING! Everything.was.Amazing
Friendly staff, fast service, DELICIOUS food, generous portions.
Both the pastrami and pulled chicken were melt in your mouth tender. Beautiful smoke flavor
Great homemade sauces
And the cornbread is on a seperate planet of goodness!!!!!
It would be dangerous if this spot was closer to home!
I’m already drooling/dreaming of our next visit
Other notes:
Order at the counter and then they bring your order to you.
Plenty of seating – indoor and outdoor ( covered patio area)
Huge selection of craft beers, whiskey and bourbon
Clean gender neutral restrooms

What we tried
*Pastrami: Whole beef brisket cured and seasoned with their pastrami rub and smoked all night
*Pulled Chicken: Our chicken is smoked whole over a blend of hickory and cherry.
*Cornbread custard
*Monks beans (with smoked rib tips)
*Vingear slaw

Our party of 7 came here for lunch on a Sunday.
We like the cozy, friendly atmosphere.
The manager or owner came by to welcome and said Hi twice.
At this restaurant, you pick a table, go to order the food, get the drinks yourself, then a server will bring to food to the table.
Everything worked very well.
We ordered various dishes, all were OK, no wow factor. 2 of us came here specifically to have the pastrami but it was dry, not much flavor, quite a disappointment!
You will see a black board with list of dishes but watch out, all sides, including corn bread have their own prices, so the bill will be higher than we expected.
We might be back to try some other dishes

I’ve been coming to Monk’s BBQ for years and finally decided to leave a review — this place truly deserves the recognition. Without a doubt, it’s one of the best BBQ joints in Northern Virginia. The quality is consistently top-tier, and it’s no surprise they’ve been featured on multiple news outlets.

The menu offers a great variety, but I always recommend The Piglet — it’s perfect for 2 to 4 people and gives you a generous sampling of their BBQ staples like brisket, burnt ends, sausage, and more. Every item is meticulously prepared and packed with flavor, making for a fantastic BBQ experience every time.

If you’re in the area and love real BBQ, Monk’s is an absolute must-visit.

15JULY2025 Excellent, friendly, and honest service. Me and my partners first time here and we will be back. The customers and staff are wonderful.

Me and my partner got the 1/2 lb of pulled pork and it was tender and moist. The house sauce is delicious.
