About

Bringing a taste of the South to the DMV with some Real Deal BBQ

Story

December of 2003 was when Urban Bar-B-Que got its start in Rockville, MD as a quick service, carry-out restaurant. 11 years and 8 locations later Urban Bar-B-Que has grown to become one of the local hot spots of Maryland and Virginia. Co-Founders, Dave Calkins and Lee Howard, have not looked back since their bar-b-que has been embraced by many in the area. The fast growing company has recently teamed with Ledo Pizza Corporation over a year ago to expand the ever so popular franchise across the DMV. The restaurant has a fast-casual feel with an urban industrial look to it that has become quite the attraction for local bar-b-que fanatics. The energetic restaurant has a different style then your typical bar-b-que restaurant. UBQ has a simple menu focusing on their 12-14 hour wood-smoked meats with sandwich as well as different plate options; however, the fun doesn’t stop there as the award winning “Soul Rolls” are a must try along with other appetizer, chili and salad options. All orders are placed at the counter while customers wait in anticipation for their name to be called out. Patrons can’t get enough as this mouth-watering slow smoked BBQ is prepared in just minutes! It’s safe to say the DMV area is in for a slow-smoked treat as authentic BBQ is found few and far between.

This is a pretty average BBQ place. But the food is very good. I had pulled chicken over a salad and the meat was most and flavorful. The staff were nice and the atmosphere was casual. Parking can be a little tricky.

Enjoyed this old time restaurant. We enjoyed the southern style atmosphere, ribs were fantastic, they have 2 dartboards and a ping pong table outside for continued enjoyment. Can't wait to go back. Will recommend to friends and family.

UPDATE: There is a new manager, and the staff will not only check your order most of the time, the few times they've missed something they *actually apologized*, and even offered me something for free when I had to drive all the way back for the missing item! Much better than before, and the food is still great. The food probably deserves 3-4 stars, but the service is what dragged their rating down. I've eaten at a few Urban BBQ locations and I've found their food to be fairly consistently good, especially the brisket, but also the pulled pork, the ribs, the chicken, and the sides. If you get a salad, the Buttermilk Ranch dressing is amazing, very garlicky and perfect for a meaty salad. However, the last time I ordered takeout from this location I did not get any brisket with my Texas Steakhouse Salad, and I had to drive all the way back to pick it up while my food (and my wife) sat at home waiting. They did apologize, but it was somewhat perfunctory. For having to wait much longer than expected to eat, and to drive there and back again, I was expecting more of an apology, but not only did they not seem overly concerned, they did not even offer a side or a dessert. Not that I needed one, but the offer would have been nice, considering I had to spend twice as much on gas for this meal than I had planned thanks to their mistake, plus our dinner was delayed. I might even have more sympathy if they were slammed, but we eat very early, and the takeout side was completely empty and the kitchen was very quiet when we picked up our order. So if you really want to order from there, eat in or check every part of your order thoroughly. I made the mistake of tipping on takeout without checking the order, I won't make that mistake with them again...if I go back.

Overall very satisfied with this place. Pulled pork was great, with lots of smoke flavor. The brisket, not as much, but decent. Fattier with more moisture would be better. Excellent sauces - the Carolina sauce with the pork was my favorite. Mustard sauce good as well. Mashed potatoes and gravy have tons of flavor. Collards hit taste notes exactly, although were a bit more cooked than I would have preferred. Corn bread was good, but cold.

Brisket is the best. Collards are great. I love the sayings on the back of the shirts worn by the wait staff.
