Burning Question: Tried to go to Schmidt’s BBQ in Leesburg for lunch and the door was locked during operating hours. Are they closed? – Mark A.
This is a question we have gotten several times recently — and the answer is yes, Schmidt’s BBQ is closed — but only temporarily.
It seems after the holiday season, the team at Schmidt’s decided to take a breather and closed up for the season.
During the closure, we’re told they are doing some upgrades to their building at 14 Loudoun Street SE and also adding some more indoor seating.
They plan to reopen on March 15 — just in time for their annual Leprechaun Loop party held in conjuction with their sister restaurant, SideBar.
If you’ve got a Burning Question for The Burn about something you’ve spotted in the area related to roads, restaurants, retail or other things we cover, send it to and we’ll see if we can get you an answer.
