Staff was distant and distracted. The brisket was gummy and gross, could not even eat it. The dollar up charge queso garlic mac was just noddles and cheese with no taste of fresh garlic at all. The coleslaw was so bland and lacked any flavor whatsoever.All in all not good and will not be back here. Not sure how this place has a 4.5 star review unless they are reviewingthemselves. For a meal that would have been almost 40.00 per person i would expect higher quality. The only thing that was goodwas the pot belly bites and fries.

WOW! JUST WOW????! The food was plentiful (take home container) and amazing. The service was spot on (teamwork evident). My server was Kris. She was friendly and had a pleasant demeanor. She was working a decent size section, but was attentive to ALLher patrons. I ordered the sampler platter which includes all of the meats plus two sides (Cole Slaw and Fries with garliccheese sauce), the pork belly bites appetizer, all with a sweet tea. I never saw the bottom of my tea glass which is a plus forme. If you are in the mood for some very good smoked meat barbecue, then this is the place to be! Ask for Kris (Megan is justas good) for exceptional service! Reminder: your server just makes $2.13 an hour, so tip appropriately you'll never regretdoing it properly here!

I usually don?t do a lot of reviews but today I had to do one. I almost didn?t come because of some of the reviews. This place is a hidden gem! Nice, warm and cozy! Nice clean atmosphere. All the workers were so kind and nice. Our waiter was so good! Herecommended dishes for us and was honest when we asked about certain items! We ended up ordering quite a bit to eat! Theportions were big! Honestly, a person could get the three meat platter and share! My only complaint if that is one, is the friedgreen tomatoes weren?t seasoned but the bacon jam and pimento cheese helped give it some flavor. But the PORK BELLY BITES areDANGEROUSLY Good!!! I could eat nothing but that and be good! This is definitely a place I can see myself coming back to eat!Thank you for a great dining experience! Moral of the story: sometimes you have to experience things for yourself becauseeverybody?s taste buds and experience will not be the same!

We LOVED this BBQ! All meat was very moist and seasoned well. The sides were unique and delicious. They offered a great variety for all who dined. Our server Kris was amazing.

We loved it! This is our new favorite BBQ place hands down in Williamsburg. I will say, initially I was a bit turned off by the hostess. We only words uttered to us was how many? Then I didn't know if I was supposed to follow or not. Were we being lead toour table? After that, Megan more than made up for that encounter with her outstanding service. We will be asking for her byname when we come back. The brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, and ribs were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We even orderedribs to take home. Everyone enjoyed the French fries. One order we added cheese and bacon. The atmosphere was open and clean.
