SWEET FIRE DONNA'S REVIEWS
Came from out of town. The place was clean and very cute. You can sit in or outside. They have a sit-in bar. Got the fried pickles and a chopped pork sandwich and an extra pulled port sandwich. I'd recommend the chopped as it amhad more flavor. The customer service was great. The only thing I wish they would have done is make the sides more viewable, as the sandwiches don't all have sides. My sandwich was a little lonely. Sometimes when you're not familiar with the menue it can be over whelping. Totally recommend.
I love this place! Food is fantastic every time. I recommend the combo platters - its a perfect amount of food to share between two people. The mac and cheese is fiery and flavorful, the cornbread is always warm, and I love the potato salad. And of course, the meat is great - I always go for pulled pork and chicken. The chicken is well-seasoned and tender and the pork tastes like it just fell off the bone. The restaurant is a bit small and can feel cramped. But that's worth it for the food and the price.
It was my first time tasting brisket and WOW. Cornbread was delicious and the Whalen sandwich I highly recommend. Thank you for the experience.

Smoking Kow BBQ is located in Alexandria, VA. Established in 2015 as a BBQ Taco Food truck, They have since expanded into two trucks and two brick-and-mortar locations. The restaurant has a Rustic-modern nook for wood-smoked meats & varied sauces with counter service & picnic tables.

SMOKING KOW BBQ REVIEWS
Came here during our recent Virginia trip and was delighted to discover this place for a late lunch! We ordered a two meat platter with two sides. We ordered an extra side of sweet potato mash. The meats were flavorful and both sweet potatoes and coleslaw tasted freshly made. The cornbread and piece of toast were unfortunately dry but everything else was good! Even the array of sauces they have on the side.
What a great experience. If you enjoy BBQ, add this spot to your list. Went with the Mac & Burnt Ends with a side of Sweet Potato Mash(must try). Great flavor, you can tell the owners truly care about delivering high-quality food. Will return again.
Just discovered this gem right near my house and wow it was phenomenal we are in a food coma. Great service they gave us two sides to try for free and their homemade barbecue sauces are just as good as their meat! Highly highly recommend will be back for many more meals. Parking: Small amount of spots in front.

FAMOUS DAVE'S BAR-B-QUE REVIEWS
Haven't been here in years. I remember having the bread pudding for desert and it was delicious. Dropped off my child for a holloween treat nearby and needed to eat something quick and good.. went to the right place! Got a platter of beef brisket, chicken, ribs for two people and you get a lot of good food for the money. Staff were always smiling and nice - look like they were having fun at work which is a great sign. Will definitely come back again.
I believe his name is Marcus, he was amazing! Service was phenomenal! Thank you for a great experience! Food was amazing. Although my drink came out after my food, his service recovery was on point! Thanks Marcus! I hope that’s his name so he can get credit.
Great waitress, accurate order taking, fresh hot food, delicious rum punch cocktail, snd we love Brisket!! Too full for dessert. We started eating again before I remembered to take a picture.
