Odd BBQ

Odd BBQ is a BBQ joint located inside of Ono Brewery in Chantilly, VA. My fiance and I didn't come with the intention to eat here but we were surrounded by delicious-looking food. After ordering, they gave us a buzzer to notify us when the food was ready. My fiance enjoyed the Chopped Pork Sandwich, which was served on a brioche bun with pickles and slaw. I wanted a cheesy biscuit but they were sold out for the day. I enjoyed the Smoked Pork Belly Plate with Seasoned Rice, Baked Beans, and Mac N' Cheese (even though I ordered the Macaroni Carrot Salad). I liked how the pork belly was tender and flavorful with or without the Red BBQ or Vinegar BBQ sauce. The seasoned rice consisted of jasmine rice topped with a dash of sweet soy sauce and coated with rice seasoning. I liked how the baked beans were cooked with smoked pork belly. The Macaroni N' Cheese was rich and creamy.

Everyone in my group love this place, but it wasn't all that for me. I received really nice service at the restaurant portion, and not-so-great service on the bar side. The concept is pretty novel and unique, you get a card and you dispense your own beer which is convenient and easy. However, you can't just use any credit card you have to use their card which requires an additional, and you have to return it at the end of your night. That said, when you start pouring your beers the tab rolls up really quick, ultimately I would say a regular pint comes out to be about $8.

Great addition to Ono. Pour your own beers and expertly crafted BBQ. If you're looking to fill up without a huge bill, I recommend the biscuit sandwiches. Chicken thighs are bountiful, smokey and the sauces abound. Nothing better on the weekend than good BBQ and a craft beer. It's tucked back into another nondescript industrial plaza, but worth winding your way there.

Had the Beef on a Whelk, the Spicy Pork Belly Biscuit, and the plate with Chicken Thighs, beans, and Mac. (Pictured are the sandwiches) The beef was tasty and the Au Jus made it incredibly delicious. The pork belly was not too spicy, but incredibly tender and tasty, and the cheddar biscuit it was served on was pure awesomeness. (The bun the beef was on was also good and soaked up the Au Jus well) They have a large selection of sauces, and while none of them were outstanding, I think most people can find one they like. (I liked the Vinegar and Spicey Pineapple) I can't believe it took me this long to try this place, it's fantastic. There's also a bar / self serve tap and while I didn't try any of their beers (which looked really good), you have to order non-alcoholic drinks at the bar, and they were a bit pricey, and that's my only complaint with the entire establishment. The staff were friendly, I saw them clean up after guests left, and the food came out within a reasonable amount of time. I can't recommend this place enough, and can't wait to go back and try the whole menu. It's going to be difficult not ordering the Beef again though, it was that good.

5/5! Great tasting BBQ! Decided to try this place out after looking for a new lunch spot, and I'm glad we ended up here. Although, we didn't have any of the drinks here, the food was delicious. The Food: I went with the VA Pit Beef Sandwich and a small side of mac salad. The beef sandwich was delicious! The meat was tender and moist, the portions were incredibly generous as well. The sandwich was stacked high with tons of meat. The slaw and pickles complimented the meat as well. The Mac salad was good too, but nothing to rave about. The Service: The service was great! The staff were friendly and food was able to get out to us within a reasonable amount of time. There is plenty of seating as well and the overall ambiance was very relaxing. They also have a couple of board games on the side if you wanted to grab some drinks and play some games. Pretty cool spot to just kick back. Overall, a 5/5! Delicious BBQ with a twist of Asian flavors.
