March 11, 2016 by

Turn off the oven, The Courts at Historic Manassas—you're going out tonight! The spot? Virginia Barbeque. This strip mall eatery might not offer much by way of ambiance, but regular diners don't seem to mind one bit! The real deal is in the food: authentic Southern barbecue.

Try a sandwich combo. You can choose between pork, beef, and chicken, pick two sides, and add an iced tea or lemonade to wash it down.
