The waitress must have been the cashier and hostess as well. Waited a very long time before she came back up front to get my order. Only appeared to be on my two people at one table inside. Ordered the crab cakes and cream of crab soup. Crab cakes were tasty but not Maryland style for sure. But they gave 3 flat little patties. Soup was also ok. Pretty expensive as it ended up being $36 though.

When it came out the first issue was that the grilled flatbread was white toast. We tried the pasta first and the only way to describe it is that it tasted like French toast. It was sickeningly sweet. We looked up at each other with mirrored faces, wondering what we just tasted. The chicken looked ok but we couldn't bring ourselves to attempt another bite. We sent it back. The server spoke to the cook and they did offer to make it right and serve something different, but we chose to leave and microwave leftovers I had from Mama Rosas.

The large sign for Porky's BBQ was what caught my eye as I was driving through Capron, Va so I made…read morea mental note to check that place out on the way back. When turning the corner to get to Porky's, you'll see some type of old school farming machine, a scarecrow, and the Porky's sign in front of the home that's been turned into Porky's. The inside is small and rustic with antiques on the shelving across from the counter. There are 5 bar stools to sit on at the counter. 2 picnic tables are out front if you need if you'd prefer to eat and enjoy the view. Porky's also sells Brad's Bee Town local honey. The day I went Porky's was sold out of beef brisket (which is what I was wanting to try). I decided to go with the pulled pork sandwich and a hot dog with fries. The owner asked from the kitchen if I wanted coleslaw on the sandwich twice while I was talking with the other employee at the counter. I said no twice. When I received my sandwich, there was the coleslaw on it. I didn't fret about it since I know that with the bbq culture in this region, it is normal have coleslaw on your pulled pork sandwich. I'm from Indiana and I was not used to that practice when I first moved to Virginia, but I've learned to just remind folks not to put it on my sandwich. I just told the owner, I'd scrape the coleslaw off with the fork. No problem, no need to waste food. The pulled pork sandwich was good with the addition of one of the sauces they provide. The hot dog was blah. I was assuming they would serve a larger hot dog, but it was your average sized dog. The fries came out just crispy and plain. Not a drop of salt on the fries. I'm not counting this place out at all. The service is great. If I'm driving through Capron, Va again, I'll stop and try some of the beef brisket and the babyback ribs.

Usually, when I am starving, almost anything will taste good. It was Saturday and I had been…read moredriving all day for work. Both areas I worked in were rural and I couldn't find a place to eat to save my life. It didn't help that there was no cell service for HOURS. Finally, after a near-death heatstroke in one of my insured's homes, and a massive migraine triggered by the heat, I was able to find a BBQ joint. Well, BBQ just happens to be the way to this woman's heart, but this place nearly made me change my mind. The building is situated on the corner of the main highway (58) and a side street. It's a small, shanty structure and I was hoping it might be this town's best-kept secret, but NO. Upon entry, the first thing I noticed is that it was the inside was not updated. No big deal though. Often, you find gems in the most unexpected places. No one was behind the counter. I looked around for a few seconds and a woman about my age trudged behind the register without much enthusiasm or even a simple greeting. I asked a few questions about the barbecue, whether it was vinegar-based or a red sauce. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, but I was curious in case I would need to request some extra toppings to doctor it up. The woman in the kitchen poked her head through an opening and showed me what they use. She was friendly enough. I ordered a sandwich only and asked for the coleslaw on the side. That was my saving grace, ordering it on the side. If the coleslaw had gone on an already so-so sandwich, I'm not sure I could have stomached it. The coleslaw lacked flavor and didn't have a touch of sweetness to it. I realize that coleslaw isn't supposed to be sweet, but coleslaw almost always calls for a bit of sweetener. I passed on the coleslaw and tossed it after one bite. Moving forward to the sandwich. I carefully unwrapped the paper to find an ordinary hamburger bun (not fresh tasting) with the barbecue inside. The barbecue was nothing out of the ordinary; however, the bun ruined it. I realized I should have just ordered a barbecue without a bun. The last thing that was amiss was the fragrant aroma of smoked pork or the savory smell of the sauces wafting through the air. That's a major faux pas for a barbecue restaurant. The experience was underwhelming. It didn't appear that anyone took pride in the restaurant or the food. Perhaps it is just a form of income for them and they have become bored with it. I don't know, but I do know that I won't be going back.

The food arrived promptly, was prepared perfectly, and everything we tried was delicious. The collard greens were the highlight for me--they tasted like someone's grandmother had been cooking them all day for a Sunday family gathering. I'm very particular about my collards, and these were top-notch! I'm not even local, but this restaurant has officially made my "worth the drive" list. I'll definitely be coming back to try brunch next time!

Pulease, tell me why everyone is giving this restaurant 5-star reviews…read more I was recently looking for a restaurant with BBQ beef ribs and came across 'Smoke'. I looked at the reviews and knew I had to give it a try. When we arrived, my wife and I were quickly seated by the Host. And then we waited. And waited. About 10 min later, I told the Host that we had not seen a waitress yet. He was apologetic and promised to find them for us. A few minutes later, the Waiter showed up and took our orders. I fully planned to order the beef ribs, but the cost of $38 was so far outside the norm that I just couldn't do it. (They actually have a sampler platter that costs $66!!) I ended up ordering the half BBQ chicken, BBQ beans and potato salad. My wife ordered the pulled pork platter, sweet potato fries and Mac & Cheese. Both orders came out quickly, but the first thing I noticed about my dinner was that I was having to 'saw' my chicken to eat it. Most BBQ chicken I have ordered at other restaurants is tender to falling apart. But this one definitely fought back, and though the flavor was not bad, I kept having to add the table-side BBQ sauce (which was good) to flavor it. The beans were nothing special- they were BBQ beans. Frankly the best part of my order was the potato salad which was quite good - a bit more mayonnaisey than normal potato salad, but I found that I actually liked that aspect of it. A couple of times during the meal, the waiter stopped by to see if we needed anything which was good to see. My wife said her pulled pork was okay but also needed supplemental BBQ sauce. She said the Mac and cheese was good, but that the sweet potato fries were overcooked. She ended up not eating them which is very unusual for her. Towards the end of the meal, I ran out of tea and started looking for the waiter. When he did show up, I asked for a refill. He disappeared for an interminable amount of time and then finally returned with our bill. I was still sitting there with an unfinished meal and an empty glass, and still had to remind him that I still needed a refill, and had been waiting for it for a while. He admitted that he had forgotten it, but then actually sat down next to us, seeming to have problems entering our bill in their handheld 'point of sale' device. I asked him again if he could get my drink first. He finally handed me the device to pay the bill and dashed off. He was gone a while again, with me still waiting on my drink. I finally just gave up finishing the meal without something to wash it down with. The Waiter finally came back with a 'tea to go' for me. Though I had planned to order desert for the two of us, we just paid the bill and left, checking off one more restaurant that does not understand that they are in the food AND customer service business. So again, someone tell me why everyone is giving this restaurant 5-stars.

The fish and shrimp were hot and fried to perfection. The rice was cooked well and the gravy seasoned quite well. The potato salad was flavorful. The whole meal reminded me of family southern cooking and was fantastic. I definitely will return.
