🔥What a fabulous weekend we had at Oakfest🔥
The folks at Oakland School sure know how to put on a great event. From the beautiful setting and awesome live band to the kind staff and amazing people who came out to show their support — it was such a joy to be part of it all. ❤️
We’re so thankful to Oakland School for having us — we loved every single moment!
Feeding our community with our homemade southern-style BBQ and fixins is what we live for. Creating these dishes with the people we hold dear makes it all even more special. There’s nothing better than good food, good folks, and good times.
Until next time, keep spreading that smoke & soul, friends! 🍖💨🎶

🔥 It’s a perfect fall day here at Virginia Smoke & Soul BBQ Company! 🍂
The smoker is rolling, the leaves are falling, and that unmistakable aroma of real, wood-fired BBQ is drifting across the Virginia farmland we’re lucky enough to call home. 🌾
Days like this remind us how grateful we are to do what we love, right here in the heart of Virginia. Come catch the vibe, grab a plate, and let’s make some memories together.

🔥 Ribs done the Virginia Smoke & Soul way! 🔥
Slow-smoked to perfection, kissed with hickory, and packed with that deep Southern flavor that keeps you coming back for more.

🍖You can see the smoke and taste the soul in every bite. Whether you like ‘em sauced up or straight off the pit, these ribs are pure BBQ bliss.

👋 Swing by and let us load up your plate — because life’s too short to skip great BBQ!

🔥 We’re feeling extra grateful at Virginia Smoke & Soul BBQ Co. 🔥

Every plate we serve is more than just BBQ – it’s a piece of our heart and soul. We're beyond thankful for everyone who makes this journey so special – from our hardworking crew behind the scenes, to the amazing folks who stop by for a bite, to those who invite us to be a part of their big events. Y’all are the reason we do what we do. ❤️

This weekend, we’re fired up to bring that same love and flavor to The Third Annual Oakfest at The Oakland School! It’s a public event, so don’t miss out – grab your tickets and come enjoy some freshly made BBQ, cooked low and slow, and served with a whole lotta soul.

We can’t wait to meet some new faces and feed some hungry hearts. See y’all there! 🍖✨

🔥 At Virginia Smoke & Soul BBQ Co., BBQ Isn’t Just Food — It’s a Passion. 🔥
We’re all about that low and slow tradition — the kind that makes your mouth water before you even see the plate. Every cut of meat we smoke is kissed by real Virginia hickory wood, bringing that deep, rich flavor that only time and true craft can create.
It’s not fast food. It’s real BBQ.
Smoked with soul. Served with pride.
Stop by and taste what happens when patience meets passion.
👅💨 You’ll smell it before you see it.

🎉 Happy Birthday to our Pitmaster, Mark! 🎉

This guy is the definition of heart and hustle. 💪🔥
No challenge has ever kept him down — he meets every obstacle with grit, resilience, and determination.

He’s a big guy with an even bigger heart, and his love for his wife, son, friends, and customers shines through everything he does. ❤️

If you know Mark, you love him — and today’s the day to let him know it! Drop your birthday wishes in the comments and help us celebrate the man behind the smoke.

And because we couldn’t resist… we’re serving up a little birthday fun:
🎂 Hickory-Smoked Birthday Cake — available today only! (Okay, not really… but wouldn’t that be amazing?) 😄

Happy birthday, Mark! You’re more than a pitmaster — you’re an amazing human with an inspiring heart and a passion for BBQ, hospitality, and family that drives everything we do.
