Allman’s BBQ of Chester — Restaurant in Chester

I understand there is some confusion about the BBQ sauce and Cole slaw recipes at Allman’s BBQ in Chester. These recipes are from the original Allman’s BBQ on Jeff Davis Hwy. They are very different from King’s BBQ in Colonial Heights and Petersburg. Although the owners are all relatives. So when you come to eat at Allmans and then leave a bad disparaging review saying it’s nothing like King’s BBQ that you expected then maybe you are confused Susan Jordan. I would never walk into a Pizza Hut and expect the pizza to taste like Papa Johns. I also would never leave a review showing my ignorance and trashing a new business. Please talk to the owners of Kings BBQ and tell them you would love for them to reopen. Personally I prefer...

If you are hoping to experience barbecue like Kings due to the name, affiliation of the owner, think again. The barbecue is fair but not Kings, it’s probably mainly because of the sauce, which is horrible! I was looking forward to the coleslaw, hoping it would be like Kings And it was nothing like Kings! It had red cabbage in it and no flavor. Definitely not the kind of coleslaw you would put on a barbecue sandwich. We tossed it in the trash. It would definitely be in the owners best interest to serve everything just as kings did. You can’t argue...

Pulled or Minced. Take your pick! I personally prefer the minced, which is seasoned enough to not having to add additional sauce. The pulled, (wife’s fav), is also delicious with a little squirt of the Allman’s BBQ Sauce. Not sure anyone wouldn’t love this outstanding pit-cooked Q. Friendly family service. We are a regular there, so hope to see you in line...
