Welcome from NC. I retired to NC after living in Herndon for many, many years. You are right, there aren't many choices for BBQ, much less good BBQ in the area. I have found that NC, in general, has good BBQ places on almost every street corner. I have participated in several BBQ Crawl's in different parts of the state. Always a lot of fun.

Hello Art,
I used to live in Herndon off of Centreville Rd near Floris Elementary school. They have the big chains BBQ places like Famous Dave and a few independent places, but my wife and I were not happy at any of them. Surprisingly, we found the best BBQ place up in Albany, NY. It was located in a neighborhood where we were advised not to go out alone at night, at least not without a side arm. I wish I could remember the name of the place.... I love NC BBQ style with the vinegar base sauce. My wife and daughter are not into the tangy, vinegar taste. When I make my BBQ sauce, I'd make 3 types. One mild with molasses, brown sugar and honey. one spicy with the same ingredient, and one spicy, NC style.
