Red Hot and Blue: Virginia Barbecue

May 1, 2014 by greystar

If you’re on the hunt for fine barbecue, Red Hot and Blue might be a great destination near The Courts at Historic Manassas. This delightful Virginia barbecue place offers up a wide variety of dishes that frequent diners seem to adore. Barbecue here is prepared Memphis style, with the emphasis on dry rubbed meats. The pulled pork sandwich is one popular choice, with delicate shreds of pork and a selection of sauce. Regulars rave about the "Sufferin’ Sweet" sauce, too.

For a real treat, go for Red Hot and Blue's “surf & turf” – an order of ribs paired with fried catfish. Cooking catfish is a difficult task, and the catfish you'll find here is regarded as some of the best in the area. Red Hot and Blue also offers a number of tasty side dishes: the baked beans are reportedly smoky and rich, and the potato salad offers a nice creamy counterpoint to the meat.

Pleasant service, reasonable prices, and a welcoming ambiance round out the delightful experience at Red Hot and Blue.
