Have you ever wondered why the best dining spots in America often look like this? They are small businesses run by owners who thrive on their exceptional cooking skills and unique recipes. Chad's Dad's BarBQ is no exception. When we entered this family-run establishment, we were greeted with warm hospitality and barbecue that was simply outstanding. After we placed our orders, Bob, the owner, took us on an extensive tour of the smoker. The aroma of cherry wood filled the air, showcasing his pride in what he does best. He even offered us a personal tasting of his homemade smoked barbecue sauces—yes, smoked sauces! The amazing flavors danced on our tongues. He has a white barbecue sauce that pairs perfectly with chicken wings. Having tried barbecue in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Kans

Stopped here for lunch after driving by and seeing it. Got bbq sandwich and potato salad. Smoked cherry sauce is one of the best sauces I’ve ever had. Also try the Hawaiian and bourbon sauces you won’t be disappointed. Very friendly and fast services.

★★★★★ 5.0 Emily Revis · Jan 2026

Not only was the food amazing, but the service and atmosphere was incredible. It felt like a hug. The owner took a moment to show us and explain all of his sauces and its special to see that kind of passion for what you do. It’s the community feeling like that that makes it extra special. Can’t wait to come back!

The food is excellent. Ribs are fall off the bone perfect. The sides are very good. One drawback: due to Local laws, you have to eat outside. No inside seating.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charlene Mara · May 2023

I can give no less than perfect 5 stars across the board! The food is so delicious! I got the 3 meet sampler with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and the most delicious chicken salad I have ever tasted! Chad's dad (Bob, I am figuring) and every staff member there was so absolutely welcoming. The smiles and friendliness was so welcoming. You could tell this is a family business and you can tell that they very much care about their customers. No matter where you come from. I will for sure be driving the 1.5 hrs to visit more!
