Freakin BBQ 1164 Wilkinson Road, Richmond, VA 23227

"Potato salad macaroni and cheese is amazing. Smoked chicken wings and ribs are extremely good. I would highly recommend this to anyone"

"The food was spectacular!. The half chicken was succulent and superbly seasoned. Beans = 10. Coleslaw = 10. Mac & cheese = 10! The catfish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. We were just passing through and picked this place on a whim. Glad we did! 4 adults / 3 children and those kids ate all their food! Don't sleep on this place Richmond!"

"Glad I took the drive up from the city to try here. In addition to the standard brisket and ribs, what I really suggest coming for is what the other BBQ places in Richmond don’t make, the smoked wings (they have a lot of dry rub on them) and the lamb chops (awesome). The North Carolina style pulled pork was fine, but adding the vinegar based BBQ sauce made it exponentially better. If you’re driving on Rt 95, this is well worth the very quick detour."

"I stopped in Ashland due to ridiculous traffic on 95. Since traffic wasn't moving I looked up BBQ places. The closest BBQ restaurant didn't have a good review in 3 years and Freakin BBQ has stellar reviews. Easy choice. I met the staff, they were friendly and suggested the 3 meat platter. I picked Brisket, Wings and Ribs. I got Collard Greens and Mac and Cheese as my sides. I got 3 Ribs, a slice of Brisket and 2 smoked wings. They also gave me dipping sauce. The Ribs were delicious and pulled right off the bone. The Brisket very good. I loved it. I tried the smoked wings. It was at that time I remembered that I don't like smoked poultry. It's no reflection the restaurant It's a reflection on my lack of memory. That's why I started writing my experiences in restaurants because I forget which foods I don't like. The Mac and Cheese was like my mom makes and was great. The Collards were some of the best I ever had anywhere. I had almost consumed the entire meal and realized I never dipped anything in the sauce. DAAAAAANNNG! The sauce levels up the meat. I highly recommend this BBQ restaurant. Next time I'm trying the pulled pork and I'm getting the Collards again."

"Stopped in on my birthday for some Freakin BBQ. I had the two meat dinner. The food came out very quickly. The pulled pork was good. Moist, tender, flavorful. The brisket wasn't bad. Tender, with a smokey flavor. I enjoyed the mac & cheese and the collards, which had a vinegary/sweet flavor, as well as a little bit of heat. Looking forward to trying out the fish dinner. Be aware: they added an 18% service charge in addition to sales tax. Not sure if this is just for credit card orders, but they also give you the option to add a tip before they total your order, so take this into consideration. My $20 meal cost me $25. If you are buying multiple dinners, it could be much more."
