    This restaurant won an award for Best Barbecue in Caswell County for 2010, heck it may be the only Barbecue restaurant in Caswell County - but whatever, the BBQ served here is very, very good - frankly, I was very surprised how good it was. While there is not a lot of smokiness in the meat, it is moist and tender, with a nice Eastern NC style vinegar/pepper sauce liberally applied. The slaw is a white, mayo based version, which goes well with this pork on a sandwich - and the sandwich here is of a good size. All in all, a nice find, and at under $4, a good buy, as well. The Chili Dog here is also excellent. The chili is meaty, and rich with flavor. The weiner is the typical Southern red dog - the final product is nice. The place is small - 10 or 12 tables and booths. Serves breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner. Offers daily specials - meat and 2 kinda items. Service is friendly & efficient. Doesn't provide much in the way of ambiance, but you'd expect that.

    Great little spot, very cozy, good food, good prices and friendly and helpful staff. I've been here once before with my brother, once for lunch and today for breakfast. Both meals were tasty, cooked to order and at good prices. Could not rate it a 5 star because its only a small breakfast and lunch place with paper plates and utensils but it's still a safe bet for a good home cooked meal and comfortable setting. One other high mark for Briggs is they have a 100 Sanitation rating!

    Briggs is a nice little surprise tucked away in Yanceyville. You wouldn't expect to find such a good BBQ joint in Caswell County, but Briggs does BBQ and sides very well. This is absolutely a local place. I think I was the only one that hadn't been in Yanceyville my whole life, but when you're surrounded by locals, you know that you've come to the right place. I obviously got the BBQ plate for my lunch and chose to go with the potato salad and slaw as my sides. The meal came out very quickly. I waited at most five minutes for everything to arrive. The BBQ itself is very good. Very moist with a lot of flavor. I tried the BBQ before reaching for the sauce and honestly it didn't need any. They obviously pre sauce the meat and it is definitely an Eastern NC style sauce. The slaw was good on it's own or on the cue. It was a white mayo based slaw. The potato salad was also very good and I would definitely order it again. The place is very small. Maybe 8-10 small tables at most. For warmer days, they also have some picnic tables outside of the restaurant. The service was great. My waitress was attentive and exuded southern hospitality. The prices are very reasonable as well. This is some great BBQ here and probably some of the only that you will find for miles. Don't overlook this little joint in Caswell County. I will definitely be back for some BBQ, and I wouldn't mind trying some of their breakfast as well.

    Super clean. Super friendly wait staff. Excellent country cooking. The vegetable sides were perfectly cooked and flavorful. Fried okra was best I've ever had. All desserts were homemade and wonders.

    This place was delicious! I went with my dad on a road trip and we both agreed it was an excellent find, we will definitely be back. I got a barbecue plate with fries and okra. It came with homemade cornbread that was buttery and warm. The barbecue was moist and had a wonderful smoky flavor. Definitely some of the best I've had in a while. The plate cost $7.99 which was very reasonable! The restaurant was small but very cozy. The waitstaff were friendly and there were lots of locals! If you're looking for a good hole in the wall find, this is the place for you!

    Best BBQ in Caswell County hands down! Its the only BBQ in Caswell County you say? Oh well then, it's still delicious. I did get my waitresses name but she was very good, attentive and al of her suggestions were great. Q was moist and delicious. Portions were great. Looking forward to stopping back by and trying the daily Plate Specials for $6.

We sat outside and enjoyed the scenery. It is a beautiful location right next to the River District. There's a lovely park, splash pad, and playground right along the Dan River. We were so stoked to eat right there. The interior of the restaurant was so fun. We loved the decorations. Books everywhere! The server was ok at first. But when we were done, I did not like how she presented me the check. She just quickly flashed me an amount on a screen, and then hid the screen. I asked if I could pay cash and she accepted it but did not bring me a check even then. We ordered 3 burgers that sounded really good. Such a disappointment. The burger meat in each was shaped perfectly and was as hard as a hockey puck. They appeared to be cooked medium but the meat was tough and gristly. I have no idea how they got all the burgers the exact, uniform hockey puck shape. They must be like those frozen ones you can get at Costco. But $17.95 for a frozen hockey puck? At one point, while my kids were telling me how gross the patties were, while my husband and I told them they had to eat them to go play on the playground, I flagged the server down and asked what type of meat it was. She said beef. However, it did not taste like beef. Thank goodness for all the toppings because if they were plain burgers, they would have been inedible. We were so hungry though so we ate what we could. Notably, the buns also tasted cheap like they had just come out of a stale grocery store deli bag. The seasoned fries, sweet potato fries, the homemade ranch and ketchup, and salad with homemade vinaigrette were ok. After we left, I added up what we ordered again and realized she must have charged me an extra $12 to swap out a veggie patty for a beef patty. I was not told there would be an upcharge so felt a little swindled, especially with how she presented the check. I wish I had kept the veggie patty though, because it probably would have been better. Also my kid who had said the burgers were so gross puked right after we left and immediately felt much better and enjoyed 2 hours on the playground. My other kid was jealous of the other one puking. Like you can't make this kind of stuff up. This spot has so much potential. I would honestly hope to visit again just to chill outside but would not ever eat the burgers.

She skipped the onions, added ketchup and mustard, and got a side salad. I kept mine simple with no ketchup or mustard. Food came out fast. Appetizer and burgers hit the table in just over five minutes, which was impressive. The burgers were good. Not over the top, but juicy and worth the price. The only miss was the bun. It was cold and could have used a quick toast or at least some heat. The house salad was fresh with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cheese, and croutons. I tried to swap my fries for sweet potato fries and ended up getting both, so no complaints there. Just know the sweet potato fries count as extra. Fries came out hot and stayed hot. The sweet potato fries had a nice balance, not soggy, not too hard. The corn fritters were the standout. Crispy on the outside, soft and sweet inside. Service from Amber or Shannon was great. Attentive, friendly, and helpful. The only slowdown came at the end. It took longer to get the check than it did to receive the food. The space is in a reclaimed industrial building with exposed brick and high ceilings. Very large and open with plenty of room for groups and events. There is a main dining area, a busy bar, and a separate section with bowling lanes. The crowd was mixed. Families, couples, groups, people at the bar, even a few on laptops. Plenty of TVs and music, but it stays at a manageable level. Accessibility is decent with a lift available. Parking is nearby street or lot parking. Overall, a fun, casual place with strong value, especially on Tuesday nights. Must order: Corn fritters Heads up: Buns may come out cold and sweet potato fries are an extra

My expectations were simply a good hoagie, such as : A classic roast beef hoagie typically contains thinly sliced roast beef and a combination of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a long, fresh hoagie roll. Common condiments include mayonnaise, mustard, or horseradish sauce. We also ordered a side of french fries. After 20 minutes of looking wearily at a plethora of dangerous looking wiring McGievers, our food arrived. My wife had an adequately prepared sandwhich, the French Fries were hot and tasty My Hoagie, and this sadly is true, consisted of chopped up bologna on a sub sandwhich roll, nothing else .

It was at the nearby Piggly Wiggly labeled Roast Beef Bologna. I actually like real Roast Beef, I realize my mistake was expecting an actual Roast Beef Hoagie

I heard there was a burger on the menu and it peaked my interest (see my other reviews). Waiting in line people were impatient because the orders weren't coming out fast enough and when they did they were incorrect. I should have walked away. Finally it was my turn. I ordered the 'Build Your Burger' cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketsup, mayo, and mustard. It was $10 and came with crinkle fries. She tried to charge me $12 which was the w/bacon price. It took about 10 minutes for it to come out. I flipped the box open to quickly make sure I got what I ordered before heading inside. I did. It was when I got inside and closer inspection revealed that there had been a hastily disguised massacre. The burger was burnt, cooked to death. Burnt hard distasteful char. It was as though it burned, stuck to the flat top and they broke the burger trying to scrape it off. There was literally a large chunk of the patty separated and they used the cheese to weld it back together and hide the evidence. It was a complete abortion with the exception of the fries which were just fries. I was sad.

    Have a feeling these guys are just starting out as a truck and Saturday's performance at Sycamore's…read moreJune Breakfast event was definitely a learning experience. Considering their website is not up and their facebook page has a few pictures and some bad reviews (from Saturday's event), I feel like these guys definitely deserve a second chance, but they were just unprepared for Saturday. I got to Sycamore Brewing right at 9:30am (when breakfast was supposed to start)... Sycamore was up and running, while the Food Truck didn't open it's window and start taking orders until after 10am. Not a great start (IMHO). If you say you are going to have breakfast at a certain time, I would definitely be on time... if not be earlier than expected. So the initial start of not being open created probably a rush of orders that the truck wasn't really ready for....Is my best guest so the truck was already in the weeds before even firing up the first order. I waited a while for the ordering line to go dwindle before getting up to place my order. Their menu was simple enough and had a choice of a breakfast burrito (choice of meats in the burrito), egg, cheese, roasted peppers... pretty standard. The other choice was a sandwich in between two pieces of Texas toast pretty much the same ingredients. The Sycamore FB page advertised pancake holes, but the day of the event they were advertised as donut holes.... with powdered sugar and syrup. They had side offerings of fruit and potatoes. So the menu seemed good enough... not really sure where the hold up was, but my order was taken (no payment was taken and not ticket system... just a verbal number given to me). It was super painful for the next 2 hrs as food slowly came out of the truck for the folks that basically ran up to the truck as soon as they opened.... yet it wasn't consistent since orders started coming out and people were not receiving their food in the order they were in line.... The numbering system was not at all helpful since it would give you false hope that you may be only a few away... but alas... we all quickly found out there was little to no way of systematically figuring out what food would come out next. I met a nice couple that were starving and just bailed (they gave the truck until they were done with two beers each).... since they didn't pay, I guess the transaction ended up okay, but then the truck would be preparing food for people that weren't there (while the people that stuck it out were still waiting). So now, I've had 5 drinks.... I also had run 5 miles before this so I was pretty buzzed and wondering where in the (INSERT EXPLETIVE) this burrito that I ordered over an hour ago was. Just an overall bad situation... it was like a train wreck were you see the crash coming, but all the doors and windows are barred up and you physically could not go anywhere else. In an effort to quell the dissension, I think the food truck owner (I am guessing) told everyone they will discount the food and apologized for the wait... so people dispersed from waiting beside the truck and went to the tables.... Then it became another show of this woman coming out with food and yelling numbers for people that may or may not have stuck around. When I finally did get my order, I wasn't charged (which was nice), but my burrito was supposed to have sausage in it, and instead I was greeted with bacon. Which isn't a big deal for me... I was just happy to get something, but I could see if someone had a food aversion or allergy, this could be an issue. I did feel for the lady since she gave out free waters and fruit to those that were still waiting for their orders..... I think I also saw her giving refunds to those that had paid as they ordered. Just overall an experience that literally left a bad taste in my mouth. I think I heard some patrons at the bar complaining to the Sycamore staff so it is doubtful this food-truck will do breakfast again... Some other folks that have done a Sycamore breakfast said the other trucks were pretty good ("these guys must be new"). I did manage to look at my watch after inhaling my burrito and seeing the time of 11:50... I was actually thinking about ordering from the other food truck that was serving lunch at Sycamore that day.
