Canopy Incorporated

The chopped beef and pulled pork sandwiches were like being served meat stew on a bun. It was soggy and bland. I don’t believe for a second the meat was bbq’d or smoked. I would be willing to bet it was boiled. There was no variation in color or texture, and the bbq sauce was some of the worst I’ve had. Decent fries, though.

I went there on a recommendation for some bomb bbq..decided to go today bcuz I was away from home and wanted some ‘grilled’ tasting bbq. I give them 2 stars bcuz the fries were ok..a bit greasy but they did have some flavor. Can’t say the same about the bbq ribs and chicken. Both were ENTIRELY flavorLESS. The chicken was colorless..no grill spots marks NOTHING..just light skinned. In my disappointment I just threw it away. They didn’t taste smoked..they didn’t taste or look seasoned and they definitely didn’t taste like bbq. It literally tasted like cooked meat with sauce on it. I only leave this review in hopes that there will be improvements. I regret having to leave such a poor review.

I was surprised to see this come up as barbeque but I guess Maryland considers pit beef to be part of the category. We ordered the ribs and beef ends with cole slaw and mac and cheese. The ribs were good, oven baked, simple and basic but good none the less. The burnt ends were oddly very vinegary but tasted good. I absolutely did not enjoy the mac and cheese it tasted like the stouffer's from the box but the Cole slaw was delicious. We also got two cornbread to try, I loved it, it was moist, sweet and the perfect mouthfeel. The service was great, very welcoming. Overall, I want to come back and try the pit beef and get the Cole slaw and cornbread again.

We picked The Canopy because it was nearby and had good ratings. The place is just a counter, there's no place to sit and eat. I went late on a Friday and the place was empty! The service was fantastic, everyone gave me recommendations and offered samples. I went with the pulled pork and the chicken and ribs combo with potato salad and Mac and cheese. Everything was pretty good! The pork had good flavor, the ribs were tender, the potato salad was great! The Mac and cheese was just alright, I felt like it didn't have enough flavor. This would have been a 4 star review if the service hadn't been so phenomenal.
