GOOD FOOD

by WC2

The food is really good. The previous reviews are from way back when and should not be taken into consideration. I had the sampler platter and everything on that plate was awesome. The brisket was cooked to perfection. The pulled pork was really soft and looks like hand-pulled. The portions are filling but not as "piled-high" as it was described. The service was excellent. They treat you like a neighbor. The person who waited on us was not annoying and left us to enjoy our food, just looking every once in a while to see if we need something. It is costly for regular students. Also, you can only get one refill, which is a little bit extreme for the price.

• Pros: food, service
• Cons: cost, amt of food on plate

We Make A Special Trip to TT's

by UpstateNewYorker

We discovered Double TT's a couple years ago by accident and ever since we go out of our way to go through Richmond to meet up with Double T , his great Q and his wonderful cobbler, not to mention the warm informality of the place. Consider it an experience, not a place to fill up on too much food.

Mediocre BBQ, ok service, best thing about the place is the location

by caravaglia

The BBQ is only ok, it is nothing to write home about. The same can be said about the side dishes. I ordered the pulled chicken "Double-T's sized" and it really didn't look any different from my wife's pulled pork sandwich regular sized. The sauces are ok, but again nothing special.

Might be a good place to grab a beer (they really are huge) after a show at Byrd Theater, but not great for much else. There are too many good places in Carytown to waste my time going here again.

Great Sauces....Bad Food

by sharamaal

Unfortunately my first experience here wasn't the best. The ribs were tough! The "medium" burger was "rare"! the jalape?o poppers were still frozen in the middle even though the outside was crisp and hot.

The best thing about the restaurant was the service, which was impeccable! The waiter was very attentive to our needs.

• Pros: parking; service
• Cons: food

strictly okay

by vafoodie

Double T's is good if you are already in Carytown and want to grab a big ol' 32 oz. mug of beer and watch the people trying to make a show at the Byrd theatre. Otherwise, I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. Everyone is correct in saying that the sauces are excellent (especially the Tennessee style), but the food is ever-so-slightly subpar and definitely overpriced when compared to the real bbq gems in this city.

• Pros: people watching outside during the summer months
• Cons: food is just not that good

Nah!

by turtlesrock

I can't say I was very impressed with their food, service, or attitude. Their ribs are really not that tender.....had a hard time eating them. Furthermore....their management is not very nice....I had some problems getting any sort of apology for the offensive actions of a manager while in the restaurant. Management is also very rude to their employees. I think if there was some sort of barbeque famine...I'd become a vegetarian before I ever went back. By the way...do not take your children there....definitely not a place for kids...

• Pros: parking
• Cons: management, food

Best in Richmond, and convenient

by richmond83

I really enjoy coming to Double-T's because its one of the few carytown eateries to have its own parking, the ribs are great, and I always walk away full. I like their selection of sauces and I always make sure to use everyone atleast once on my full rack. I only had one bad rack, and they took it back and gave me a good one. Double-T himself is real friendly, probably too much. One customer didn't like it, she was drunk I think, and started yelling and complaining all over the place. Anyway, great for ribs.

• Pros: Sauce variety, Tender Ribs, Across from the Byrd

Sub-Par Ribs

by ericshripka

Coming from Chicago and have experienced bbq from Texas to Tennessee the ribs at Double Ts were sub-par and disappointing. We went back a second time just to see if the first may have been a fluke, but it was not. The ribs were chewy, dry and lacked that smoky flavor you expect. The dry ribs did not have any kind of dry rub on them and were very bland in taste. They had a good variety of sauces from vinegar based to mustard based to your standard bbq sauce and all were very good. Unfortunately the ribs to with them were not up to my standards of ribs based on ribs I'v eaten in the past

• Pros: Good Desserts, Good atmosphere
• Cons: Tasteless Ribs

Great BBQ

by cptsternn

Great food, classic menu, and a friendly staff as well. The best part is the location - right in the heart of Carytowne across from the theater. The patio also makes a great place to have a drink while you eat as well.

• Pros: Great food, Good Service, Great atmosphere
