Willard's Real Pit BBQ   

Got a hankering for the kind of North Carolina pulled pork that you can usually only find at a roadside joint in the South? Satisfy your craving without a road trip at Willard's Real Pit BBQ, located in the strip mall next to the Dulles Expo Center. This barbecue joint features classic barbecue staples such as ribs, jerk chicken and burnt ends, as well as lighter options such as turkey breast sandwiches. Vegetarians, you've got a salad or bean burrito to choose from. A Home-style side dishes, including dirty rice and collard greens, come in sizes from a half-pint to a quart. If you've still got room after that smorgasbord of barbecue, try one of the homemade desserts such as the peanut butter pie or fruit cobbler. Place your order at the counter and bring it to one of the nice cushioned booths, or call ahead to bring home dinner. You can get meals to go for four or six people for $45 or $67. -- Caroline Morse
