I bought the All American spice rub on a whim at Costco. I do quite a bit of barbecuing on my Traeger pellet smoker and I've been looking for a good commercially prepared universal rub to use... I'm not one of those guys who needs to make my own just so I can that I do. Well, let me say this stuff is good! I did pork belly burnt ends and spare ribs recently, and they turned out fantastic. This rub has a great overall flavor profile... but the part... it's not overly salty. A huge plus in my books!
I recently found in a local store (in Chicago suburbs) the Pork Jerky. The Old-fashioned Maple Bacon Jerky is very good. Compare to other brands with bacon jerky, Pork Barrel BBQ is the top. The Sweet BBQ Bacon Jerky is more like Bacon Candy. Yes, it is more sugar, but still tastefully done. There is no snacking, some now a little later, with this stuff.....once the bag is opened, well it's gone quick!!
This is one of the best seasonings I have ever found .. Its good on any kind of meat hamburgers pork chops pork tenderloin, but chicken especially ..
We usually sit at the bar, which always has fantastic staff. They have a good beer selection, and a good bourbon selection. I like being able to order the BBQ or burgers from the Holy Cow (which they also own and is in the same building) while sitting at the bar.
Great staff, generous management and delicious food!
The brisket, collard greens and beans were all great, and the service was good too. Would gladly return to try out some of their other items.
Great atmosphere, Great menu, Great food!!! Will visit there often.
Pulled pork sliders were tasty and delicious, as was the bbq salad with pulled pork, candied walnuts, dates and blue cheese!
Food is great and atmosphere for the CAPS game was so much fun! The bartenders - Zach and Chelsea are awesome and take great care of the customers!
Decided to stop here to watch the Winter Olympics at the bar. The food was delicious and the service was good too. Nice size portions and reasonable prices. The pulled pork was piled high on the bun. I was pleasantly surprised by how tender and flavorful the collard greens were. Will definitely come back again.

This past weekend I used Pork Barrel BBQ catering for a party I was hosting. THEY WERE FABULOUS. First off, I was a very nervous party planner and I called a couple times to talk through my order and each phone call really put me at ease. The first time I called, I was able to place my order and they helped me figure out how much food I'd need and made helpful recommendations. The second phone call, I was able to add on more food when more guests confirmed and it was so simple because they're very organized! I even paid over the phone so friends could pick the food up for me and they raved about how helpful and kind all the employees were in person. NOW, THE FOOD. SPECTACULAR. Everything came perfectly packaged in reusable containers, which made clean up a breeze. The amount of food ordered ended up being just right - leaving us with some very coveted leftovers and leaving all our attendees with fully, happy bellies! ALL of the guests asked where the food was from because it was so delicious and they loved it. Honestly, this was such a great experience (I'm typing this over potato salad and brisket leftovers for breakfast..). Next time we host a large gathering, I will most certainly be ordering from Pork Barrel again. Thank ya'll SO MUCH!!! 10/10!
In from out of town, and tried this place on a personal recommendation, and OMG, it's amazing! Had the pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, and bread pudding, and everything was out of this world! I was with a large group, and every person said the same thing. Staff was super friendly and the food was out in no time. I really can't say enough good things about our experience!
Pork Barrel is a Del Ray staple, and just a great place for kids and adults alike--friendly staff, plenty of room in the dining area and the bar area, and my kids love the retro video games! Order the nachos, you won’t regret it! Pork Barrel is also our go-to for catering services. We catered Pork Barrel BBQ for an end-of-season little league party recently and they couldn’t have been easier to work with. On a side note, I once left my credit card at Pork Barrel by accident and they made sure it was returned to me--which was much appreciated!
