“ The classic BBQ dive; old house with the backyard converted to picnic tables and some high tops with a small stage in the back. Walk in and I guy sitting in this tiny alcove takes your order, really doesn't seem to care one way or the other :)... you get a buzzer and come back for your order to an opening in the kitchen where to women on their phones toss the food to you while still on their phones. I had ribs, my girlfriend had a pulled pork sandwich...both were very good. You get a tiny plastic cup of sauce and if you want more they charge $4 ! Very weird. My little cup didn't suffice for my 1/2 rack of ribs, but I wasn't going to pay another $4 for another tiny cup. Food is very good, everything else needs work. ”
“ The food was 10/10! So yummy and flavorful! The patio in the back was cute and charming. The Bartender who helped us was friendly and checked on us as well. If we are back in the area, I'd def go back! ”
“ Food was delicious! Good atmosphere, liked the outdoor patio and the service was great! Feeling very satisfied and relaxed. ”
“ You have just found your new favorite happy hour spot. Not kidding! Brought my mom here and we decided to share their happy hour loaded fries ($7)- the waiter said they were half the size of the normal menu priced size so we figured we'd get something else later on, but NOPE. It was still so big! And finger-licking delicious. Perfect for us both to split. And for the best part, if you're of drinking age their happy hour drink specials are crazy! Beer and wine $2 at 2pm, $3 at 3pm, $4 at 4pm and $5 at 5pm!!! Plus $5 rails! The service was also super great and the place had really nice backyard patio seating. Can't wait to come back!! ”
“ Disclaimer: This review is only for the food which was delivered. Ordered the Big Schmidt and Little Schmidt for lunch. The huge portions were nice. These two adult meals fed my family of four with enough leftovers for a large meal for one person or two lunch sized meals. Most hipster BBQ joints usually skimp on portion size. Ribs were fall off the bone, and I enjoyed them. Would order again. The brisket was fatty, but tasted good. The pulled pork and mac-n-cheese were decent. Overall, I thought is was a pretty good value and would order again. ”
“ We came here on a Wednesday afternoon after Christmas. It was happy hour, so we we looking at $2 beers. We first tasted some of the local beers and settled on a few different options. We then set about looking at the menu for food. We decided on the loaded fries, brisket and the grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich with fries. The loaded fries are covered with cheese, pulled pork and a white bbq sauce. OMG it was amazing! The grilled cheese with short ribs have pickled onions The add a lovely color to the dish. We chose the sweet potato fries. We also ordered a brisket dinner with a side Cesar salad. The Cesar was more dressed more then I like, but for most people they would love it. the pork had a barbecue sauce that was very good -a Sriracha maple. a little spicy but not too spicy. The brisket was not as tender as I would like. The Sweet potato fries are excellent -crispy on the outside with soft on the inside, very very good. So, the loaded fries were a huge hit with my group. The grilled cheese with also a big hit. Sweet tater fries, I highly recommend. The brisket dinner came in third place but was still very acceptable. The staff were awesome, the young man behind the bar were very helpful in helping us choose beers that we are to our taste. And they turned in heaters for us outside. ”
“ Schmidts continues to be a reliable and enjoyable place for beer and barbecue in Leesburg. ”
“ Wonderful outdoor dining! Tables widely spaced, with umbrellas for shade and heaters. Probably the best outdoor dining experience I've seen in Leesburg so far. Our server offered to bring us a selection of sauce to taste, because we weren't sure which one was spicy or not. Actually they all were pretty darn good. I got the loaded fries, which actually turned into two meals for me. Big chunks of pork and wonderful cheese! BF got the grilled cheese and rib sandwich. It was awesome as well. Really like the level of service, and as I mentioned before, this was the best outdoor dining experience we have had in Leesburg. We will definitely be back! ”
“ 4 stars is correct. This isn't the best BBQ in the area. It's good. And it's seems everything they have is good. We had the wings (dry bbq), pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, Mac n Cheese, and sweet potato fries. The portions on the entrees were huge. I'll give them that. They don't skimp. The wings were very good. I excited to try other flavors. The pork got a thumbs up, the Mac n cheese, although small, was tasty and homemade. The negative probably being my brisket dried out. It was pretty lean and not moist. The pieces were kind of tough and lacked flavor. Maybe this is because I traveled with it, and had to make it back to Ashburn. But I was hoping for better. I wouldn't order it again, but I would be happy to try something else. ”
