Two Dudes Barbeque LLC — Restaurant in Warrenton

I leave this review not as a warning to customers but a warning to ownership. I have 2 thins to say: I've been a chef for over 30 years and have been a restaurant owner. I know from experience that any restaurant can have a bad night. In the restaurant business believe it or not the easiest thing to improve on is food quality, the hardest is to hire a good staff. With that said let's jump in! I just moved to Warrenton. After a busy day of moving my wife and I were hungry. I have always supported the small guy, the restaurant business is a unforgivable endeavor. I ordered a rack of ribs, baked beans and green beans with ham. All to go! When I arrived home I was very anxious to open all I purchased. When I opened the ribs I realized this was possibly a one off. The ribs were layered a half rack on another half rack. Not uncommon for the way Togo boxes are built. When I tried to separate the ribs all the meat fell off the bone, I know a lot of people think this is a good thing. It's not, ribs should stick to the bone and tear away. The smoke ring should be visible. I know that these ribs were probably cooked two days ago and consistently reheated. I was not looking forward to eating my ribs with a fork. Dry, alot of grisly piece's that tell me they were trying to fill the box. The baked beans were obviously canned. The should take the ribs from the previous day and chop the meat and add to them. FYI, most bbq places will use canned beans and bump them up. The green beans had no flavor, at the very least add some ham base to them. However, the women taking my order, was very friendly and accommodating. The way to judge a restaurant is how the perform on a slow day not busy. In fairness it was a Tuesday at 6 pm. I get it. $44 including a tip for 2 people not expensive but not cheap. I'm left with a box of bones and meat, not ribs. I have high expectations and I know any restaurant can have a bad day.

I will revisit later this week and hope things work out, give the little...

It's hard to call this stuff BBQ. I've given this place about 6 second chances, hoping things would have improved with each visit. But they haven't. What's the deal, you might ask? Bbq is so supposed to be juicy, wet, moist, flavorful, and certainly not burnt. Two Dudes is dry, desert dry, bone dry, n ot particually flavorful, and often burnt to flavorlessness. I've tried 4 different types of offerings and none are what you'd call good. Even their "signature sauce" has a ton to be desired and there's no way in Hell I'd pay $6+ for a bottle of it. The ONLY saving grace is that the sandwiches are cheap and so are the sides. But don't even bother with the "giant pork steak." At its $8 pricepoint, it's straight up price-gouging. I've bought two porksteaks, literally twice the size, at Kroger for less than $5. Not to mention, Two Dudes burnt the living hell out of theirs. If you want quality BBQ, go literally anywhere else. If you want a superfast BBQ-esque lunch on the cheap, this is okay. But BBQ lovers and enthuists, for your sanity, avoid this joint. If you don't, you'll...

First time eating here, we were more than happy with this neat local BBQ joint! We had a variety of foods, from kids options that included a huge hotdog, to the hot turkey and a hot ham. Large portions for kids, which is great for kids that can't quite eat a full sized plate. We had a sampler plate which was amazing. The ribs were juicy, flavorful and fell off the bone. The ham steak was by far the tastiest I've ever had! Pulled pork was so tasty with adding the BBQ sauce, it heightened the flavors. The brisket had a great smoky flavor to it and there were 4 slices on the plate, which was more than enough considering the large helping of all the meats! The baked beans and green beans were very tasty sides. The Mac n cheese wasn't your normal Mac n cheese, it tastes like it had smoked cheese in it, which was actually really good! All in all, I don't have any complaints, it really was wonderful food and more than...
