The Food: We got the small Family Pack (1lb. Pork, 1pint Collard greens, 1pint macaroni &cheese, 1pint coleslaw), 4 buns. We also got some hushpuppies. The chopped pork was very good and I enjoy that it comes unsauced. We ate-in and there were several sauces to choose from. There was Carolina, mild, and sweet, as well as a few hot sauces like Tapatio, Choulula, and Texas Pete. Mild was my favorite. Carolina was very vinegary and sweet was very sweet. The collards were some of the best I've had; they were well seasoned and not watery. The mac & cheese was a bit overcooked and grainy but not overly so and they were flavorful; I'd get them again. The coleslaw is not made with pickles (yay!) and had mild seasoning. It was cold and fresh. The buns that come with the family meal are just Martin's potato rolls, not the "toasted, fresh, baked bun" as is described on the menu. When asked to heat them, I was told that they can't. They don't have a microwave. This was the ONLY bad note of our visit. It felt very unfriendly and was poor customer service to not offer a way to heat the bagged buns. I expected freshly made buns so I was already disappointed, and then being told a restaurant has no way to heat a bun seems ridiculous. I wish I could've seen my face when I was told they couldn't do it. It makes me wonder what else they buy in bulk or outsource and aren't making at the "restaurant". The atmosphere: It's less than a dozen booths to eat at with what looked like a large, closed "employees' dining room. I assume they just don't want to clean the whole place and do they had it partitioned off. The area to dine in is right next to the cashier so conversations and orders are all you hear while you eat. It wasn't pleasant and it would have been nice to sit away from the front door and order area. We couldn't have a private conversation. It was clean and plenty of napkins, utensils, etc were available to grab. The service: Ordering was pleasant and efficient. We promptly had a question about an ingredient answered. The only service sticking point was, again, the lack of competency to come up with a way to warm a bun. Overall, we are planning on returning to try the ribs and wings but I will definitely find out if they have warm buns if I get them again. We had enough leftovers to make 2 more small meals later this week at home and everything tasted great the second and third time around.

One of my favorite BBQ joints when I visit Richmond and a long time family favorite, Deep Run Roadhouse have never disappointed.

Let me start off by saying that I'm originally from Boston, so I haven't had much experience with bbq, but this place has the best brisket sandwich I've had in RVA. When I entered I was immediately greeted by a very friendly staff. I decided to try the brisket sandwich, which came highly recommended, but got my cole slaw on the side, along with a side of mac and cheese, and of course, a sweet tea. The tea had unlimited refills, and I actually blended the sweet and unsweetened teas together (I'm still getting used to the sweet tea!). The sandwich was so moist that it didn't even need sauce! I did try a taste of the sweet sauce, which was too sweet for my liking and the mild sauce, which I liked much better. The cole slaw was tasty, and the mac and cheese, although very cheesy, lacked flavor. I added a bit of the mild bbq sauce to it, and it was much better. Overall, I was really happy with my meal and the friendly staff, so I'll definitely be back.

I'm tempted to rate poorly so I can keep it to myself, but this place is too good to not share! Unpretentious, delicious BBQ - freshly made, with yummy traditional sides. And succulent fried catfish in a just-right batter with seriously great tartar sauce. Homemade pie for dessert - what more do you need? Staff are invested in the family business; they make the food and care that you have an enjoyable time. And like any real BBQ joint, when they run out of BBQ, you're out of luck for the day - nothing is pre-cooked the previous day. You've got to try this place!

Love the bbq and they have good sides. I hate going to a bbq spot with no good sides but no worries Deep Run has you covered. And the sauce is good and doesn't require any doctoring up. I believe they have a vinegar based sauce for those who prefer Carolina style bbq. They offer a variety of meats including smoked wings. Service was great and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Casual dining atmosphere. If you're in the west end give them a try!

The food and the service are always spot on. Great quality barbecue, plenty of parking, good people

I always get the train wreck when I come. I also ordered their delicious hush puppies with honey butter. The service is quick and the inside has plenty of room for seating, as well as a section for large groups.

I had a short time to eat so I got 1/3 lb sliced brisket it was delicious the smoke flavor was perfect. It didn't even need bbq sauce, I sliced it with a plastic fork it was like warm butter. I will definitely be returning with friends.

This was my first time ordering from this establishment, but overall, the food was good. I ordered the beef brisket, pork BBQ ribs, pulled pork, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and hush puppies. Ribs - Had a good taste and flavor but was not juicy. Brisket - Pieces were thick and flavorful, but they were on the drier side. Pulled pork - Well seasoned, tender, and juicy. Sweet potatoes - Great, well seasoned, and sweet. Mac and cheese - Cheesy and good. Hush Puppies - Tender, flavorful, and excellent. I ordered through DoorDash. My experience may have been better if I had eaten at the restaurant

What a steal! Got a bbq pork sandwich with slaw and a small collard greens for $11. Forger Arby's. DRR got the meats! I couldn't believe how good my pulled pork was. Far from dry, but definitely not wet, it was the perfect texture. Bun held up to the coleslaw and cherry bourbon bbq sauce (omg) that I added. The collard greens were also very good. Almost the best I've had. So close. My husband got a half rack of ribs with more of that magical cherry bourbon bbq sauce. Lastly, a side of Mac and cheese that wasn't bad, but nothing special. Anyway, these guys know what they're doing when it comes to BBQ. It barely took five minutes to get my food. Knocked it out of the park.
