Reviews for Smoking Kow BBQ in Alexandria, VA
I wouldn't call myself a regular, but I come back time and time again to Smoking Kow because they're the BEST BBQ place in the... area. My go-to is their fatty brisket sandwich, which I LOVE. It's deliciously tender, excellently seasoned, and pairs wellwith their Carolina BBQ sauce which you can grab from their sauce bar. Did I mention the sauce bar?? They've got a variety ofBBQ sauces to choose from. I lean towards the vinegary sauces, so I'm glad that they have them available. Not many placesdo. Will definitely stop by again with my roommates whenever we need to satisfy our BBQ craving. Read more
Went the other day with my husband and we both loved the food. The portions are big enough and the meat wasn?t dry at all!! I... ordered the pulled chicken sandwich and he ordered the two meats platter (chicken and brisket) Read more
Glorious! Had the ribs and holy fuuuuq, was I blindsided by how good they were! A real proper hole in the wall, don't overlook... this gem!Bonus points, most of the menu is gluten free;) Read more
I tried Smoking Kow for the first time yesterday (5/11/2022), and I must say that I was pleased! I had the family of 4 platter... which included the baby back ribs, brisket, collard greens, baked beans, and the creamy garlic & jalapeño mac & cheese. Everything was tasty! My only complaint (if any, and I?m not deducting any stars) was that the portions were almost not enoughto feed 3 adults, but we made it work! Read more
I ordered the ribs platter . I got the following sides ; Mac n Cheese , BBQ baked beans , Texas Caviar and cornbread. The food... was good ! I actually had enough leftover for dinner. I was not a fan of their sauces , the only decent one was the Carolinagolden . Since I decided to dine in I was able to overhear the cashier call customers and let them know that they were sold outof certain items and some customer choose to cancel their order. So If you do order online , you should call in to make sureyour choices are available. Read more
Been ordering from this place for a long time until recently, great product. However, the quality has plummented to the point it... is gross. Ordered one pound of lean brisket and got three quarters of a pound of fat. Two consecutive weeks in a row. Owners areAWAL. Run by a bunch of teenagers that have no concept of quality control. Avoid this place at all cost. Read more
Beyond satisfied!! My mac and meat with sausage was accidentally left out of my order. I called in and spoke to Steven and he... instantly went into action to remedy the situation. I had to drive back about 15 minutes but it was totally worth it. Big shoutout to Steven!! Their sauces rock!! And their pulled pork is an out of this world experience!! The ribs are smokey and spicy!The cornbread was sweet and moist! Very very good!! At the moment their air conditioning is on the fritz and it gets pretty hotin there. It's a pretty small place with 3 picnic sized tables and a bench outside. More room would be awesome because the foodis good and the staff is pretty cool too. They also support the military and military families by offering a 10% discount. Read more
Ordered delivery of the Feast for Four, moist brisket and pulled pork with sides. Quality was good - jalapeño Mac and cheese... was standout for the sides. Unfortunately, they neglected to add any sauces, which took the joy out of an otherwise nice homedining experience, and they forget the side of coleslaw that I ordered, disappointing. Probably won?t order from Smoking Kownext time. Read more
