No BBQ Sauce Needed!
“The smoked half chicken and also the wings are superb. Great smoky flavor. BBQ sauce is provided but you really don’t need it because the chicken itself has such a great flavor. Highly recommend the place.”

-Anne W.“Canaan Valley BBQ is awesome! The food is great and has a super comfortable setting. I think that is will only get better with time!

The bar area is so nice with a nice selection to include local brews. We can’t wait to go back!! Well done . . . another great choice for the valley!!”

Delicious! Everything Was Wonderful
“Delicious! My husband, 3 kids, and I were there about 2 weeks ago. We each got something different and tried each other’s. Brisket, ribs, and pork BBQ were delicious. Cornbread and brisket were probably my favorite . . . everything was wonderful! Staff, service, cleanliness, and food all 5 star!”
-Kim M.“Really tasty BBQ, friendly service & relaxing atmosphere.”
-Jennifer L.“We were conservative during our first visit and tried the ribs, pulled pork, fries, and slaw. ALL outstanding so we decided to give it another go today adding the smoked wings, baked beans, and brownies for my husband’s birthday. This place simply makes fantastic food! We can’t wait for our next outing to Canaan so we can eat more great food. We’ve always been repeat customers at Sirianni’s (which is still amazing) but Canaan Valley BBQ just jumped ahead as our first stop when we return.”

Huge Amount of Pulled Pork on Sandwich and Great Sides
“Delicious food!! Huge amount of pulled pork on sandwich and great sides. Food came quick and we were checked on by who I believe was probably owner and another worker. Order your food at counter and help yourself to drinks and utensils and they bring food to you.”
-Justine S.“Great place in the Valley and the new bar is a welcome addition. I’m thinking weekends in the winter will find this spot the place to be for night life. BBQ is top notch and the renovation of the building was very well done.”
