    Brisket, cabbage, green beans, tater tots, fried okra, cornbread
    Christina K.

    Delicious food and seriously the best sides I've ever had at a barbecue joint. And customer service was amazing. I don't live in this area but if I'm ever back in town, I will go out of my way to eat here.

    Brisket side $15 1/2 lb
    Bernard C.

    Sorry about this post bro' but that 1/2 lb of brisket was THE WORST brisket I've ever had. During my travels, I've had some really bad brisket and some really good brisket -with some of the best right in Richmond VA, but this takes the cake right here. It had a smoke flavor but was, tough to chew, no seasoning and no defined smoke ring. Thank heavens for the smoked wings which barely provided the 2 stars. Service was great but that brisket was awful.

    The brisket was tender and the mac and cheese was flavorful. The apple cobbler cheesecake was also smooth and not too sweet.

    Fried smoky goodness

    This place is a hidden gem . This was my first time in here, so I had to try their fried smoked wings & Mac & cheese . They were top-tier. Probably some of the best wings I've ever had. Loaded with flavor and you could taste all that smoky goodness coming through. I didn't even dip it any sauce cause I wanted to appreciate the man back there on the smoker and he did his thing. I also ordered up a half pound of brisket because I wasn't leaving without trying the brisket. When I opened up the container, it had beautiful perfect color smelled incredible and as I'm picking it up, you could just feel its tenderness it actually started to fall apart a little bit. Perfection. As I was sitting there waiting for my food, I was just sitting there talking to a couple of different people and everybody was really cool . The whole vibe in Backwoodz was good food and great people . I'll be back . 10/10

    You know, when the locals rave about a spot, it is a winner. A++++++ I stopped by at lunch, on a rainy day. About half full, the service was excellent. The wings are 10. Not pink inside. While I realize that pink inside is a sign of the slow smoking process, my preference is a dark white shade. Just me. Meat separation from bone is excellent. Snappy crisp skin. Brisket is a solid 7. Only because I am picky. I order "fatty cut". They had a hard time processing my order. I did not get fully fatty cut, but on the other side, I did not get dry brisket. The brisket had a good smoke flavor, excellent bark. I was digging the rub..... Again, I just prefer a fattier cut..... I spoke with the owner, good dude. We talked for about 30 minutes about smoking in the Carolinas and his process. Overall, I will be back. Good job!!!!

    BBQ is very good! The service here is very friendly and helpful. Definitely will return again to try another menu item. After my meal i started eating my wife's brisket nachos.

    From the minute you walk in, you can smell it. And you just know, it's gonna be GOOD! Get greeted by name, get a hug from the owner when he's got a second, chat with the counter staff while you plan out what fabulousness you're taking home. I've never had a bad meal here at Backwoodz. The selection is amazing, the portions are great, and it's priced just right. Add in the atmosphere, live music from time to time, and just look at those desserts on the counter! It's a wonderful place for some of the best BBQ I've eaten! Do yourself a big favor & try this restaurant. Show them some love. I can tell you that everything they serve is made with love, and that's a fact! They have something on the menu for everyone, and catering, too!

    This restaurant had the best melt in your mouth brisket, pork and chicken I've ever had. Very tender, juicy and flavorful! Would highly recommend. The service was topnotch, friendly and very helpful. Loved this place!!

    1 Smokery Pl. - Smoked pork belly bites

    1 Smokery Pl.

    4.4(7 reviews)

    Prior to being diagnosed with Celiac (can't eat wheat (gluten)), one of my guilty pleasures was…read moregetting food from Food Trucks. It's one of those culinary grab bags where you never quite know if what you're eating is fresh, pre-prepared, good, bad, the best thing you've ever eaten, or hardly palatable. And it comes out of a vehicle. It's a weird experience that I 100% support. --Food: Every so often you come across a place where everything naturally gluten free, like 1 Smokery Pl., which is awesome news for me. I've been here a couple times and really have enjoyed everything! - Ghost Bites with Pork Belly: These are awesome! They're not really as hot as the name would make it sound, but they have a bit of a kick to them. The potato croquettes are absolutely amazing. I don't know how a potato croquette can be this tasty, but they're easily the star of the dish. They're crispy, seasoned impeccably, and have the most smooth and satisfying inside. The pork belly was good too, but really the potato and accompanying sauces are the real deal. - Smoked Chicken Nachos: Also really enjoyed these. Unlike the potato bites above, everything was more or less expected in these. That's not to say they're bad at all, because they're not, they're very tasty, but if you have in your mind what Smoked Chicken Nachos would taste like, you pretty much nailed it. - BBQ Bites: My fiancée got these and also really enjoyed them. The potatoes again were the center of discussion. --Cost: Well worth it and definitely in line with your average food truck prices. Most items are about $10, some the steak or fish being a little more. --Service: Staff is super nice. It's cook to order so you wait about 10/15 min for food. (like most Food Trucks). --Overall: Anyone that likes any of the descriptions of these items should check out 1 Smokery Pl., food allergies or not, as this is truly a great truck. If there was one downside it's that there seems to be an inconsistent schedule and finding them on any given day near you might be challenging. Other than that, easy 5 star for me.

    A solid overall food truck that puts a twist on your traditional smoked offerings…read more The folks who operate it are friendly. The portions are filling. I ordered the smoked pork belly bites to start. This portion was pretty good, but I thought it lacked a Smokey punch I was looking for. I finished with the Smokey tomato gazpacho. This was the real winner, amazing really. Smokey, a little spice, cool and refreshing, sweet, etc. The menu items were fun, but id love to see some traditional options as well (pulled pork, brisket, etc.).
