    Hot Honey Chicken Tenders
    Jordan H.

    Hubby and I visited just yesterday afternoon and couldn't believe it took us this long to try !!! The service was amazing,the food was sooooo delectable,and the space was pretty nice with TVs and an arcade! Hope to visit again soon as we were completely blown away!

    3 pick 3 platters (brisket, chicken thighs and pulled pork). One thing I really dislike about any bbq spot is bathing my food in sauce, the first thing that comes to mind is either your food lacks flavor or it's dry. The flavor was okay, nothing to rave about I think the pulled pork had the most flavor out of all three (seasoning and smoke). Half of the brisket I received was nothing but fat the other 1/4 was burned and at $32 a platter I'd expect to get better portions. On top of that the cold sides are plated with hot food. Probably the worst idea ever. I'll more than likely just wait until u get my smoker before eating bbq again

    I was famished and googled barbecue places near Williamsburg and this place surfaced. The food in the pictures looked scrumptious. The restaurant is located at the end of the Food Lion strip mall. Upon arrival, I was not greeted, the young man seemed a bit overwhelmed. I wanted the wings but they were out so I tried the brisket, beans, and macaroni and cheese. The brisket was a healthy portion but lacked flavor and was a little tough. Barbecue sauce was placed on the brisket to go with the flavor. The macaroni and cheese was really bland, it tasted like macaroni with wine cheese sprinkled on it. The beans tasted just like root beer. I couldn't not finish the platter because the food was not good.

    Hands down a great BBQ down here. The came out quick and it was great. The service was amazing. It was nice place where you can come have a few drinks and enjoy a meal. Great selection in happy hour.

    I love a great BBQ place and this place hit all the marks with yummy food, great service and a great atmosphere inside! It was our first time here and decided to go all out and try a bunch of the different food items they offered. Had plenty of leftovers which was not a bad thing with the yummy quality of food. Food: Complimentary rolls with honey butter! Let's just say you had me at Honey Butter! The rolls were also soft and moist. Meats: sausage, chicken, brisket chicken wings and pulled pork, and to be honest all the meats were good! My top 3 were the chicken, pulled pork and wings. Love all the sauces too! Particularly liked the one that came on the chicken and pulled pork. Sides: Baked beans -good flavor Green beans-nice spice Jalapeño Mac and cheese-so good and not spicy just flavorful Potato salad- also very good! We also started with the chili and gumbo and both were delicious. Gumbo reminded me of gumbo from down in Louisiana! We got a chocolate chip cookie to go and they are homemade and delicious. Our server was extremely friendly and made sure we had refills and answered all of our questions. Inside there isn't too much seating but there is also a bar area with seats. I love the dim lighting instead of bright lighting. Can't wait to go back! .

    The service was excellent. We were attended to and the waitress was very kind and nice. The food was good and the portion sizes were reasonable. The potato salad was a bit bland. It was advertised as sour cream and onion but we didn't get those flavors. The meats were good. The Mac n cheese was very good but the shredded cheese on top was unnecessary and should have been breadcrumbs. Also I wish there was cornbread on the menu. The coleslaw was really good and I don't normally like coleslaw. We bought cookies to go and are looking forward to trying them. We had a good experience and would come back again.

    So on the peninsula is there any barbecue place the is better? No. No there isn't. Full disclosure I am a barbecue snob, I grew up in the Midwest with lost of great barbecue and have made and eaten lots of great barbecue. It's not a fair review to compare barbecue places in this area with places in my memories. So I have to change my review. The addition of the stars is based on the following. 1. There is nothing they did wrong and everything they did they is well seasoned and presented in a clean nice place with nice people working. 2. My wife and I have been back here multiple times and have not gone to any other barbecue place in the area. 3. The menu always seems to have items that both sound interesting, taste delicious, and aren't found on other barbecue menus. 4. They stay in their lane and keep reimagining dishes related to barbecue without trying to make the menu be everything to everyone.

    I ordered golden bbq wings with homemade blue cheese. They were really good, a little spicy(don't eat spicy food) but still enjoyable.

If they had they would have heard about missing beer menus, dirty/greasy salt grinders, dead flies littering the window sills next to the tables, slow and disinterested service and a seeming lack of interest of the staff in anything but chatting with each other. County Grill in Yorktown has always been one of our go-to restaurants but unfortunately is fell very short today. We got in early, before the afternoon rush, around 3:45 pm. We were seated quickly in a booth along the front windows and our waitress came over and got us started with cornbread muffins and took our drink order. I did ask for the paper beer list that they always have due to their extensive taps but none were available, a first for me. Neither our waitress or the hostess could explain why they didn't have the normal beer list. I ordered a beer and when asked if I also wanted water like my wife, I said yes. My wife's water showed up almost immediately, mine must have been forgotten but thankfully my beer showed up a short time later. We ordered our dinner, a brisket platter with coleslaw and baked beans and my wife ordered pulled pork. We were one of only two tables in the entire main dining room when we ordered and throughout our meal but waited a surprisingly long time for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, the food looked, smelled and tasted great. The brisket I received was from the tail end of the brisket and was very thin compared to slices from the other end of the brisket I've usually received. I still received the same exact number of smaller slices I usually receive from the bigger end. Not all brisket slices are created equal and today's fell short. My wife used the salt grinder on the table and it was dirty and greasy to the point she had to excuse herself to go wash her hands. While she was gone I noticed the collection of dead flies on the window sill along our booth. Things were just dirty, makes you wonder about cleanliness in areas you can't see as a customer. Although there were a lot of staff in the kitchen and in front of the kitchen none seemed interested in anything but chatting with each other. The exception to that would be our waitress who was very interested in talking to the one other occupied table in the dining room. We had finished dinner and were waiting to pay our bill and get a to-go box for some of the coleslaw. Our waitress was deeply involved in a conversation with the other table and we waited an extended period of time. The multitude of other servers in front of the kitchen had no interest in breaking free to see if we needed anything. Finally our waitress made it back over to our table with the electronic payment machine out, handed it off to me and headed off to find a to-go container, even that seemed to take longer than it should have. Maybe Q-Daddy's is worth a try, maybe they still care and want to prove they want your business and not just ride on prior reputation.

I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.

That was easily a top 3 best mac and cheese I've ever had. The noodles were cooked perfect, the cheese sauce was thick & gooey, the flavor was so rich but not overcomplicated.
