Old Virginia Smoke BBQ Catering — Local services in Fairfax

We had a large reception to plan for and were very selective for a BBQ caterer. We tried about 9 before learning of OVS. Some were very good on one item, but lacking on another, which prolonged our search. Finding Luke and OVS was a God-send, as when we sampled varieties of his foods, each one hit or exceeded the mark and so we readily contracted with him. Aside from the flavor and quality of his product, his genuine passion and love for what he does and how he does it rang through. Combined, these two priority traits earned our business. He was extremely flexible as our numbers for catering changed up and down several times, and with his experience and guidance, he/we estimated the perfect amount and had just enough leftover to feed house-guests for 2 days after the reception. He was courteous, professional, timely, and a class act. We have no hesitation in highly recommending and referring Luke and OVS to anyone in need of dependable and quality service and...

Typically, I crinkle my nose at the thought of BBQ. While I do have an inordinate love of sweets, grilled meat slathered with sickeningly sweet sauce is what my mind conjures when B, B, and Q are strung together.

Old Virginia Smoke? On another plane, entirely! I have enjoyed the pork, beef, and chicken at two occasions now and would recommend their delicious and delectable fare to anyone. It was a divine melt-in-your-mouth experience. The hot and spicy Brussel sprouts demanded that I take seconds and would be a great proselytizing tool to convert meat-lovers to become vegetarian.

The cantaloupe pie was a delight. I had no idea what to expect, but it was like a key lime pie with all the freshness of summer captured in the light cantaloupe flavor.

I would never have thought of BBQ as being upscale, but after tasting several of Old Virginia Smoke's satisfying offerings, I am a convert! I would recommend their friendly catering for any event,...

I can’t say enough about Old Virginia Smoke BBQ. I hired them to cater my niece’s graduation and received nothing but compliments on how fantastic the food was. As it happens at most events, not all guests who RSVPd showed up. I was glad they didn’t because I wanted the leftovers. My other guests beat me to it and took plates home. I had like 6 ribs left with my name on half of them. Got up the next morning and the kids ate them. LOL. The pulled pork, brisket, and ribs were so tender and melted in our mouths. You didn’t even need BBQ sauce. We also had Rick stay and ensure food was refreshed. Let me tell you, Rick was super helpful. He offered to help me wheel my disabled mother into the house, empty the trash, and pick up empty dishes left lying around. I’ve had other BBQ caterers (some well-known) but Old Virginia is now my go-to. Thanks to Luke and his...
