Reviews Summary
Triple Crown BBQ is highly praised for its authentic, tender, and flavorful slow-smoked meats, with standout dishes like ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. Many appreciate the generous portions, delicious homemade sides, and the friendly, attentive service, especially from the owner. While overwhelmingly positive, some found the food underwhelming or not good value for money.
"Best food I had during my vacation - and I’m a picky eater! You can tell the owner made everything with a lot of care. Excellent food and service. The surroundings are amazing and the outdoor seating area was set up very nicely. We even reordered the corn muffins and had delicious ribs and sausage. “How can you make such tasty baked beans?”, I said. Thanks for checking in on us multiple times. We wish you all the best from the Netherlands!"

"The food was buzzing! The rack of ribs were so tender, you would taste the smoky flavor in them. The cold beef sandwich was also perfectly good, as well as the potato salad and coleslaw. The owner (I assumed) was greeting everyone. Everyone who was working there was so kind and accommodating. And before I forgot to mention, the Crown BBQ sauce is so Goooooooood🤤"

"Great food, without doubt, we had the sampler and a pulled pork sandwich with corn muffins, and it was delicious. It was fast, the staff very friendly, the owner came to ask us if we had liked the food, almost perfect.
The smokiness was well balanced and perfect in the chicken and the pork. The meat was good, but I would eat a whole chicken or a rack of ribs rather than the meat or sausage.
But, you probably eat the chicken and the ribs with your hands and there's not a place to clean your hands, you have to ask for some wet wipes to get the sauce out from your fingers... a tap and a basin would be perfect.
If you go to Luray, its a very nice place to try something different."
