Now listen up, fellow aviators - I know this is supposed to be about coastal dining, but sometimes you find yourself inland and craving some serious smokehouse action. Rocklands has been serving up real wood-smoked BBQ in the DMV since 1990, and they've got the awards to prove it - including Best BBQ from WTOP listeners multiple years running. With locations in Arlington, Alexandria, and DC, this place has become a regional institution that even us seafood-loving pilots can't ignore.
What sets Rocklands apart is their commitment to authentic barbecue - we're talking slow-cooked, perfectly seasoned meats with that signature smoky char that only comes from real wood smoking. They've got the full spread from fall-off-the-bone ribs to juicy brisket, plus they run catering services and even a food truck if you want to catch them around town. After 33+ years in the business, they've clearly figured out the formula for BBQ that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more.
