Rotimi A. WilliamsFebruary 22, 2016Ended up being one of the best things to happen to the neighborhood. Busy (but not packed), friendly staff and delicious BBQ eats. Burnt ends and pulled pork is solid.
Happy hour is great, love sitting outside. I douse everything in the NC vinegar sauce, less mature tastes might prefer the mustard-based sauces. 😛
- Pat McKayDecember 20, 2018Everything. I love the white chicken chili and cornbread. The salads are great with lots of smoked meat and healthy greens. I have never had a bad meal here
- Sophia HNovember 21, 2016Brisket burnt ends were amazing! Collard greens and cornbread were very delicious. Good pulled pork too.
Dakota RavenNovember 25, 2019Thier brisket is amazing! Best in Virginia. Be sure to try their collard greens, Mac &Cheese, and Donna’s Cornbread! Cozy atmosphere! Always busy!
Sasha KraussMarch 7, 2019Brisket slice sandwich was good. Nice vibe, place was packed at 5pm on Thursday. 👍🏻
Sean WileyMarch 25, 2016The pulled pork was excellent! I they were out of the burnt ends which was a real bummer. Hard to find them on the east coast
Chris RobertsNovember 19, 2015If you don't like young country music, and like it loud. I suggest you get your food to go. Other than that the BBQ was pretty good.
Brenna GrahamMarch 3, 2018Loved the food. The Mac and cheese was really good. There were a few drunken locals that were annoying.- I'm a vegetarian, but good Lord this was still excellent. Loved my sides, and the parents enjoyed their brisket and ribs.
Joshua PearsonNovember 20, 2015Carolina Chopped Pork Sandwich, Greens, Firey Mac and Cheese, and Outstanding Corn bread, and Sweet Tea.
SFD's how do I love thee? For burnt ends, smoked turkey salad, baked beans, collard greens, chicken chili loaded baked potatoes...yes. I <3 you.
Maggie MacGJanuary 15, 2019Good sandwiches, great company. This restaurant supports local federal workers with a free sandwich during the shutdown.
I have yet to order something I did not enjoy at Sweet Fire Donna‘s. Sadly I have not been back since COVID hit, on the upside I rarely go into the office either.

"I really enjoyed the brisket at this venue and the cornbread. Being a craft beer enthusiast, I found the choices to be very limited, but the BBQ was delicious!"
