This spot offers a laid-back atmosphere with a modern, rustic interior that feels both clean and welcoming. The menu features a variety of smoked meats, including pulled pork, brisket, and pork belly, accompanied by classic sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans. The portions are generous, and the pricing is reasonable, making it a good value for the quality of food provided. While the meats are flavorful, they seem to be more oven-roasted than traditionally smoked, lacking the deep smoky flavor some might expect. Nevertheless, the dishes are well-prepared and satisfying. Service was prompt, though our server appeared somewhat rushed or preoccupied, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy at the time. This didn’t significantly detract from the overall experience, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall, this is a solid choice for above-average barbecue in the area. It’s a great place to enjoy a hearty meal in a comfortable setting.
Server was great and friendly. Helped me accidentally order off the secret menu. It was a touch pricey but that’s kind of just the way BBQ Joints are going these days. The sauces on the table were pretty good. The main sauce is realllllly sweet for a bbq sauce but the tidewater had a nice mustard kick and the vinegar sauce was standard in a good way.
My husband and I just happened to be driving to a different restaurant when we drove by and smelled the BBQ. We decided to turn around and give this place a try. I loved how down to earth this place was, not only were we greeted right away but we were also seated within a few minutes. Our server’s name was Mayor, and she was absolutely amazing! Mayor gave us exceptional service, recommended some delicious platters and was very friendly. There needs to be more servers with Mayor’s charisma and attentiveness to the customer. We ordered the Pork Belly bites and those are to die for! My husband had the Buttermilk Chicken Thigh Sandwich with the Mac’n’cheese and he absolutely loved it. I ordered the 3meat sampler, more pork belly bites, ribs and brisket, with cornbread and sweet potato fries. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food and the service received, my husband and I were glad we stopped and tried this place out. If you’re in this part of town, make this a stop and hopefully you can have Mayor serve you.
Very good: Collard greens, Poblano mac, Pork belly, brisket, fries, the service! Good: Ribs, everything pickled Okay: Coleslaw, pulled pork, pulled chicken, sauces Notes: Excellent mac n cheese and collard greens! Expected sauces and pulled pork and coleslaw to have more flavor, just a bit plain for me
The chilli was amazing been to several chili cook offs and this was great fries crispy and good, thick ranch dressing, great smoked wings. Fantastic service from Juan. I'll be back next time I stop in Williamsburg. If you're looking for very solid BBQ this is the spot. Having tried bbq in GA, TX, TN, NC This place can compete with some of the best.
