Perfect Blend of Flavors

We respect the traditional BBQ ingredients highlighting smoke, pepper, sweet, salt, and aromatics and enhance them with bright and fresh flavors.

APPALACHIAN ROOTS

Nobody does BBQ like the south. Without a traditional regional style, West Virginians sample and fuse the various southern BBQ styles to their individual tastes and surround the BBQ with time-honored Appalachian soul food sides.

A Passion For BBQ

Practicing his passion for BBQ throughout his life, Dr Rolf is now prepared to share it with you.

Zesty. Savory. Succulent.

Dr. Rolf’s Barbeque features unique recipes that have been developed and perfected over many years of experimentation and innovation producing savory, zesty, craft barbeque and sides.

Over time, Dr. Rolf has created a variety of recipes for rubs and sauces that enhance the flavor of his barbeque. The meats are smoked low and slow to capture and seal in all the succulence and flavor so you’ll enjoy every bite.

The Doctor Is In

When the Dr. is in, you’re in for a treat. From time to time, Dr. Rolf will create and prepare specials unavailable on the regular menu. Be sure to stop by when the Dr. is in.

Everything here is so good! Having lived all all over the country, this is some of my favorite barbecue ever. The takeout ordering online is easy and they get your food ready in a reasonably quick amount of time. All the employees are nice from the times I’ve dined in and picked up food. The hot mustard sauce is my favorite and it’s spicy! I’m a big fan of the ribs, dirty tots, and chicken things.
