Delicious and juicy barbecued meats are the mainstay of this Virginia restaurant, aptly named The Cookhouse, and it takes just a visit for a casual guest to become a loyal patron. The ambiance is fun and relaxed and the service is friendly but it is the taste of the smoked fare, created by their chef who has gained mythical popularity, which is the biggest draw.

There's a wide range of dishes available and those who prefer to stray from the beaten track will love the BBQ sundae, a tantalizing combination of pulled pork, creamy cole slaw, baked beans, BBQ sauce and pickle. Salads and soups are interesting but it's the platters which will make you come back for more, whether it is sliced beef brisket or pulled pork. Other favorites include baby back ribs, meatloaf, sandwiches and slow smoked prime rib. Pair your meal with something from the bar; choices for beers, wines or margaritas are aplenty.
