The mac & cheese is fantastic. I also enjoyed the brisket Nacho’s which were good, but heavy on the chips. I ended up eating most of the toppings with a fork, but still left full. I think I’ll try something else with the brisket next time since it did taste very good. The beers I had were also very good.

This is easily some of the best BBQ I’ve had in the North East US. They have a great quality and great prices with even a generous military discount. We had the sampler and also some wings. The wings easily stole the show but everything else was great too. My only criticism would be that the brisket and ribs were a bit more dry than my preference. I love the atmosphere. The not only have good BBQ but they have some great home brew. I also love that they had a little SNES in the corner for my boys to play. As for service, everyone was nice and friendly. A true 5/5

Brisket is absolutely perfect. Don’t skip out on the beans either! The official IPA is also solid. 10/10 experience.

Good beer, great food, local talent. I don’t know why we hadn’t tried Official sooner. The sour and java stout were my favorites, but we tried all the beer on tap and everything was tasty. The English brown was also good, slightly sweet with a strong flavor. We ordered the family platter. All the BBQ was excellent: fall off the bone ribs, fresh cut coleslaw, and crisp fries. The green beans were too peppery for our kids, but we liked them. The pork was well seasoned and all sauces represented their genres well. We happened in on a night with love music, which added to the fun. They serve Reading root beer for the kids. They also have a very generous military/EMS/cop discount. We will be back.

Food was excellent and portions were great! Will definitely return…as long as it is for take out! Best thing about atmosphere is that there were very few people dining in. The guys working were very kind and helpful. Our biggest problems were dining in, with the severe lack of drink and kids options (Now I know why there were so many take-out customers…)

There is no doubt. This food is delicious. The brisket was really good and they have a variety of sauces. Definitely a bit expensive but that’s what you have to do for good BBQ.

We were staying up the street at a local hotel and randomly found this place. It was a cool spot. Staff was very friendly and speedy service. We spoke with other patrons who asked how we found this place. Lol. We laughed and said by accident. They said we were in for a treat. They were right! Especially if you are a fan of BBQ sauces. I would definitely recommend The Official for a dinner or lunch. We will see this place again in our travels.
