Craving BBQ? Backwoodz is your place! The brisket with the fat cap on is AMAZING! So flavorful!…read moreCame in super hungry after a long travel day, and that first bite was heavenly. No sauce needed! Another standout was the cucumber & tomato salad which had just the right amount of vinegar. The green beans and the cabbage were tasty, but just a tad too salty for me. I can't fault them, as I rarely use salt, it's likely my palette that is off. The pulled pork was excellent, but needed sauce. Alas I cannot have sweet sauces. I then got the idea to combine the pork with the cabbage and found it similar to the experience of eating luau pork with poi. Better together! I added the leftover vinegar dressing from the C&T salad to the green beans and found that also was a hit. The desserts were very tempting, but I opted instead to order enough brisket and pulled pork for the weekend. It's proven to be very filling!! I also can't say enough about the staff. So genuinely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and clearly proud of their product (as they should be!). Put a smile on my face and will look forward to returning on future trips to Richmond!

The Mac and cheese.. the cheese was so hard I threw the whole thing away. The baked beans was canned no seasoning and my cabbage had more of the root then leaves. I paid $90+ and literally didn't even eat the pulled chicken. Not to mention, I received 4 slices of the brisket. 4 slices ... a compete joke. I used to hype this place up but today they robbed me. I'm so pissed!

The meats here were very good - extremely tender with a nice smoky flavor. I was personally a huge fan of the spare ribs and my girlfriend loved the prime rib (which I have never seen at a BBQ place before!). The sides were a bit lackluster and just ok, but service was friendly. While a bit pricey, I would definitely come back just for the meats! Meats: Brisket, Prime Rib, Pork Spare Ribs and Sausage Links Sides: Jalapeño Mac and Cheese, Potato Salad and Collard Greens

The food and service were top notch. We sat at the bar which gave us a good view of all the happening. There is plenty of room to sit inside as well as out. I am a sucker for smoked turkey and was extra excited to hear they still had some. That with the greens and potato salad was the perfect. The turkey was flavorful and juicy. The greens have just the right amount of spice and the potato salad cooled it down. Can't forget to mention the tortillas! So good! I will for sure be back.

I got a sliced brisket plate which was pretty good! The service was good, and it is a quick and…read moreeasy order. The brisket itself didn't have as much smoky flavor as I have had before(but honestly I'm no expert on that), but it was still very good. I am glad that it does not come with sauce to allow the meat to speak for itself, but allows you to add their different sauces as you like at each table. (they had some good ones, I think I tried all their BBQ sauces besides the classic) The plate came with 2 sides, I got Macaroni and Onion rings. The onion rings were decent, honestly pretty good, only thing is I would personally prefer more crunch but the onion was cooked very nicely. The Mac and Cheese was pretty good, good amount of cheesiness and not too watery, definitely fit my taste. The cornbread is also pretty good! Not too crumbly, has that nice texture that's not too dry and has some moistness to it but not too moist. Next time, I would want to try the collard greens Good atmosphere, bathroom is decent.

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.

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.).

A nice find, thanks fellow yelpers!…read more Good dogs with a lot of toppings available. I did not notice any that resulted in an extra charge. The usual suspects, plus spicy and mild chili, jalapenos, kraut, slaw, etc. We each got the two dog combo with an upgrade to fries (from chips), and it included soft drinks or tea (self-serve, with refills.) The dogs were good quality, the toppings were ample, and the buns held up well. The fires were cooked to order but unfortunately still tasted a bit freezer-ish. Can't have everything! There were also one- and three-dog combos available. Also available are things like chicken salad, BBQ, about 10 flavors of milkshakes, and deals on 10 or 12 dogs to go. Counter service was very helpful and pleasant. There were I believe three low tops and two high top tables plus a bank of four or so seats at a window counter. Everything was very clean and well cared for. Credit cards accepted.
