I don't think their ribs are all that wonderful. We prefer Houston's. But we do enjoy their pulled pork (pig) sandwich. Give it a try but go in the middle of the day when you don't have to wait. :) Regards, Terry

Seems like time to repeat my recommendation on barbecue places:

Barbecue Country.  Two locations, Herndon and Centreville. Centreville place is in a shopping center SW of the intersection of Rtes. 29 and 28.  Take I-66 to Rte 29 and backtrack eastward on rte 29 to the first shopping ctr on the right.  BBQ Country faces Rte 29. It's a bit tricky to get there from off the street, so I can't describe it too easily, I'm afraid.  But it's not hard to get there once you see where you are going.

I got one thing to say about the RHB: Bland.

Try Levi's NC BBQ on South Capitol, instead.
