Bbq Exchange Review

Awesome food, wait line was a little long, in need of some air conditioning was a little warm inside and more seating bc the place was packed which may explain the warmth inside lol . But excellent food love it. I ordered th Purgatory pulled pork sooo awesome and please try their pickles I got the garlic ones omg soo good.

My whole family loves this place and drives an hour just to get lunch there! Never had a bad meal- we've gotten the brisket, pulled pork, and tofu. Get the potato salad with your platter, you won't regret it! The Hell sandwich we did regret, though haha

Friendly service with a down home atmosphere! Oh yeah, the BBQ lives up to the hype too.

Line is long, they aren't really efficient at getting food out to you. Food itself was just okay.

Stopped here by recommendation of some locals. We don't have places like this in Cleveland. Sorry Michael Symon, but your smoked has nothing on this places pork belly.

The Barbeque Exchange is the BEST barbeque restaurant in the country! People come from far and wide to eat there because the food is so extraordinarily unique and deliscious. If you are in the area you must stop in for the ultimate barbeque experience.

Beyond amazing. The best barbeque without a doubt. Hickory smoked just enough for flavor without saturation. While the sauces are great, the flavor is so perfect they really aren't needed. The sides are just as good as the barbeque. The collards always a treat, never too greasy and cooked to the perfect texture. Other sides such as the strawberry salad are a surprising and delightful blend of flavors with none dominating the others.

The food is always great and the staff is always friendly.

If you haven't been here...it's a reason to visit the town, in and of itself! I'm a fairly healthy eater, but have to splurge here and get the pork belly and mac-and-cheese...each of which is delicious! Excellent hot sauce varieties, and all of the meats and sides I've tried are top notch. Excellent BBQ in a very quaint, cool town!

We tried the pulled pork, beed brisket, pork bellies and ribs. All the food was fantastic!! The unanimous vote for favorite meat was the pork bellies, it tasted like grilled ham and bacon in each bite. Mouth watering. We highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was amazing and the sauces are even more amazing!!! I highly recommend the 'Hog Fire' sauce. The prices per bottle can be a little high at $18. However they are the best Barbecue place I've ever been to.

Chopped brisket was dry, it's ok. Maybe I'll try something different rating could change!

The food was Great,it is not a sit down and order place, cafeteria style order and take your food to a table.the Best Beef Brisket I have ever eaten.

First time here and had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up getting the 4-rib platter with cornbread, potato salad, and mac-n-cheese. Husband got the 3-meat platter - ribs, brisket, and smoked sausage. Everything we got was delicious! The desserts looked so tempting, but we were both so full! We ll have to pick some up during our next visit :)

Prices are high for the portions we got. The meat tasted good, the sides were just not as good as we expected.

Amazing BBQ! It was so good that I ate it before I could even get a chance to take a picture. If I were a pig, I would be honored to be served here.

Great food..atmosphere..sevice..who could ask for more?

Stopped here on the way through.. Loved the chopped brisket. Pulled pork was really good too.. Also try the hog wings!

First time visit, loved the food, great atmosphere, we will go back

My favorite BBQ place in the state. Great food, good drink selection, friendly staff, and easy to find. Always my go-to after a hike in the area.

Great food in a wonderful town. Could use another register for quicker check out. :)

Delicious barbeque! Generous portions, reasonably prices.

Life altering sandwich. "Heaven", a trademark sandwich, left me so satisfied I skipped dinner. My kids loved all the different sauces to try of there pulled pork and fries. Got a couple of nice adult beverages to share with the wife, who was also was well satisfied. Great dining experience . Food was excellent. Environment was cool . Staff was solid. Food was ordered at the register and then you take it to your table so no tipping required. Will be a must anytime I'm in the area.

Some of the best barbeque I've had. Great Mac n cheese, large pieces of sweet corn bread all in all a great place to eat

TAKE OUT ONLY! MUST CALL TO PLACE AN ORDER. I showed up and called from the parking lot. There was a menu board out front. Closes at 8 pm. Fairly good servings of sides and meats. Good flavors and a variety of sauces. BBQ is always a little pricey.

Get the pork belly. Don't bother with the brisket. The desserts are as good as they look.

If you love BBQ, try this. Great atmosphere and food!

Everything is excellent. Never a disappointing experience.

A staple in gordonsville. Great sauces and baked goods. Try a pumpkin muffin!!

Great barbque and reasonable price. They host the annual all you can eat, Porkpaloza.

Great barbecue, charming setting and friendly service.

Great tasting bar b q. Good for a pick up to take home.

Best BBQ restaurant I've ever been too. I compare all new places to this one ;) We loved their food so much that we had them cater for our wedding every time we're in the area we have to eat here. Their ribs are so tender they just fall off the bone and their brisket is delicious and tender. Their corn bread and pumpkin muffins are also super solid every time we go. My new favorite item is the Purgatory sandwich. It's insanely huge and delicious!

Pretty darn good BBQ but a little pricey. Then again good BBQ usually is; so it was worth it!

Love this place the bbq is the best I have ever had

Got ribs and chicken, loved the chicken. Felt it was a little pricey but who isn't these days. Took about 15 minutes to order but on Sunday evening we expect that.

Fantastic place for BBQ. So many different choices of items. Great array of sauces, sides and meats, they also have a Salmon that is good too. They cater, which is great. They do all kinds of events. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Take trip to this place you will not be disappointed.

Not the best BBQ I have ever had. But deffinatly worth going when ever you get the chance. I highly recomend it. Staff is always very helpful and nice.

This is an amazing local barbecue place. There are even vegetarian options.

Great barbecue with wonderful sides! Outdoor picnic tables available.

These folks know what they are doing. Great pork!! Amazing sauces. Just go there. I had ribs and pork wings. So good.

Best ribs around and yes the BBQ is good. If you are looking for HOT order the Hell BBQ sandwich, I love hot but I could not even get passed 1 bite. The Heaven BBQ sandwich is really good tho.

Great BBQ! I had the sausage sandwich and onion rings. They had half dozen different sauces to try.

Gordonsville? Who knew there is great barbeque in Gordonsville?

Food was good and delivered to table fairly quickly. Brisket was very good with good portion size. Fried pickles (Spears) we're very tasty with the dipping sauce. Potato salad was average. Overall very satisfying.

Yes best experince and the best barbeque. Hams are smoky and very good. Compliment turkey for Thaksgiving

I was very unhappy with my BLT. They asked if I wanted my bacon crispy. I said yes. The bacon was not crispy, it was freaking dehydrated. Sharp flavorless bacon, when chewed became sharp shards. Gross flies everywhere. At least 20 flies in the dinning area. I have no idea how many were in the kitchen. Staff didn't even bother swatting them away from my food. I literally had to reach around the counter to shoo the Flies off of my sandwich, while waiting for them to hand it to me. Flies were very comfortable, as if for generations the flies have lived safe and happy in this restaurant. Black stuff in my ice.

Best ribs I've ever had. The sauces were amazing, too.

I can't say enough about their incredible service...that young man doing "car deliveries" on the Fourth of July was amazing...matched only by the ribs. slaw & beans!!! GO!!

Real deal, can be busy at times but worth the wait.

When I think of BBQ places. This is the benchmark. They've got a simple setup and great food.

Definately would recommend this place! Super great! Had the brisket and pulled pork along with the Mac and cheese, baked beans and cole slaw. This place is very popular in the area so we had to wait in a very long line. Also there are tons of people so seating was limited.

Fantastic barbecue with great sides. Love the muffins, cornbread, fries and fried pickles!

Great food, friendly staff. The apple butter bbq sauce was really what set me over the top

Definitely worth the stop and fill up with BBQ! Friendly staff and great selection to satisfy any BBQ taste buds! We had never been before and read the reviews...good stuff!

Always good and had an added bonus of arriving there before the dinner crowd. Expect fellow diners at peak hours and weekends. It all moves fast though. Beer and hard ciders along with sodas and consistently good BBQ. A little expensive but so worth it.

Great BBQ!
Don't let the 2 bad reviews turn you away from here. Great food in a clean shop. Don't go to a BBQ place and order a BLT then write a bogus review about flies being comfortable because you are dumb. Google needs to remove that review, I haven't seen any flies except for when sitting OUTSIDE which is to be expected.

Fried green tomatoes are better than mama's. I drive an hour to get here and it's worth every bit of the travel time. I have never been disappointed here, the only place I will endure a line out the door to eat at.

I have had almost everything on the menu, and have yet to find something that wasn't great. Nothing here is boxed like a corporate place. Everything is fresh and amazing.
