Allman's Bar-B-Que — Restaurant in Fredericksburg

I cannot adequately describe how much we enjoyed eating at this bbq joint! At first glance and pulling up into the small lil parking area, we thought: "...ummm this may turn out to be a bust, there's only one couple inside and there are no other cars..."

So I had seen this place from the road on the way to the hospital multiple times now and every time was like “Man: that place is so tiny and out of place. …the food has to be AMAZING…”. I typically try to eat at little “mom and pop” diners because their food is (most of the time) something special. Allman’s did NOT disappoint. My wife ordered a burger (blasphemous at a BBQ joint, I know, but she was in the mood for it) and I ordered their brisket sandwich (without jalapeños on it) and WOW. My sandwich stole the show for me. The brisket was tender, juicy, and delicious and the Mayo that was on top was brilliant. My sandwich was on a Martin’s roll which (for me personally) is one of the only ways to go when using a bun. With multiple sauces to try (OG BBQ, Rib sauce, and Secret Sauce), I grabbed a bit of each and they all brought something special to my meal. The Secret Sauce was the winner for me, but the other two were wonderful as well. For sides, we tried the Mac & cheese, the cornbread, and French fries, which were each great. I even tried a bite of my wife’s burger which was also juicy and delicious. To finish things off, my lady got herself a Coke float which came in a frosty mug with whipped cream on top (it was amazing) while I went with a simple chocolate milkshake, which came in the big metal mixing cup and was hand-spun.

Price-wise: we spent about $50 when all was said and done with our food, which was a very fair price considering the amount of food we got for our money (seriously: you could have rolled us out the door).

The staff was very friendly and fun to speak with. The owner, Matt, came out while we were there and we chatted with him about his awesome taste in music (the playlist playing while we ate was a perfect match for our meal). And Maddie and Elle were kind and answered all of our questions about food and topics and favorites, and helped us pick the right meals to match us perfectly.

I will ABSOLUTELY be back to this place in the future. I was told that we weren’t even there at the right time (we got there late in the day) and that we need to come back early for the best brisket…which you BET I’ll be doing. I highly recommend this place. It was...

I wouldn't step foot in this place as the owner is an A@@!! He made us leave because of my service animal. I will be reporting him to ADA. Avoid this restaurant at all cost! Not disability friendly!!! I would give zero stars but not an option.

In response to your reply. You indicated my dog was not a proper service animal and we had to leave. Just because we ordered him food, it was your perception we were going to feed him at the table. You made assumptions about my dog that were absolutely untrue. You never asked us anything in regards to him. He did not have his head on the table, he had his paws on my husband's lap. The couple across from us were commenting on how well behaved he was. You didn't identify yourself at all when you came out , just told us we had to leave. I am reporting you to the ADA. We will never step back into your restaurant and we're making sure others don't as well. You should have stayed in Chicago.

UPDATE: You sir have serious issues! You don't know how to read. His paws were not on my lap, they were on my husband's lap. He had been laying on the floor beside me as trained. You totally handled this wrong and violated my rights. You sir need to read the guidelines. At no point does it say he can't put his paws on my or my husband's lap. You don't know what service he is trained to do. At no time was he off a leash or out of control. AND YOU ASSUMED I was going to feed him at your table because I ordered him food. I don't order him food from just anywhere. We have been there before and your wife, who is quote nice, shared your experiences when you bought the restaurant a few years ago. from long-time Allman customers. That is not my style. If you received a phone call it is because I posted my experience at your establishment on a few fb pages in Virginia I'm on. If you received a call it is most likely from someone with a service animal. You offended and violated the disabled community. I'm still filing a complaint. I suggest you pull up the guidelines and read them, as I have. No other place I have taken him has ever treated me and my dog with...
