Customer Reviews
If you’ve ever heard the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover,” Double D’s BBQ is living proof. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much. You might even drive by and never guess what’s waiting inside. But the moment you walk through the doors, everything changes. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of that unmistakable feeling that you’re about to experience something special. And then there’s the food. Hands down, this is the best BBQ we have ever eaten. Every single bite tastes like it was crafted with love, care, and serious talent. The ribs and chicken were so tender they were literally falling off the bone. The pulled pork and brisket? Incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor — absolutely divine. You can taste the time and passion that goes into every dish. But w
First time going, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I had the sampler and my friends had the catfish. The portions were generous including the side which some bbq places skimp on. Everything seems to be made here no processed stuff. The brisket was fire. My favorite item had to be the green beans, super tastey! I will definitely add this to the rotation of places that i visit.
Oh my, oh my... Double D's brisket is top notch. Best I've ever had outside of Texas. Ribs have a slightly sweet rub and are done perfectly. Sauces (three choices I think) are spot on. We were only getting meat to go so didn't get any sides. Next time though.... Family run, nice folks too. We. Will. Be. Back.!!! Update: 8/13/25. Went back to celebrate our 37th anniversary. Brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and mild sausage were all excellent. Yummy n cheesy Mac n cheese. Green beans were almost a bit spicy, but excellent. Cole slaw was done very well. We drove an hour from home to get there. Well worth the drive.
If I could give them 10 stars I would! We are so fortunate to live close to Double D’s and get the BEST BBQ (and catfish, and chicken, and just about everything on their menu). Their family is always so kind and they truly show how passionate they are about serving the community. If you don’t live close, it’s worth the drive but arrive early because they sell out! That’s how you know it’s good. Don’t forget your banana pudding ;)
As a former BBQ judge with the Kansas City Barbecue Society and Memphis in May, I can highly recommend this BBQ joint. On a recent visit I decided to order Brisket, as it’s one of the hardest cuts of beef to smoke. I would dare to say it was completion quality. The Cole slaw was excellent and quite unique. I can’t wait to go back for the ribs, pulled pork and smoked sausage.
