I stopped by Country Boys Barbecue in Virginia, and I'm so glad I found this place. The brisket was absolutely amazing--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The pulled pork was outstanding too. I actually didn't even put any barbecue sauce on it because it was that good, although I kind of wish I had tried the sauce just to see how it tasted. The collard greens were incredible, and the barbecue beans were just as good. The cornbread was outstanding as well. For dessert, the banana pudding was excellent. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to use a little less whipped cream so the banana pudding stands out even more. Other than that, it was delicious. The restaurant has a buffet-style setup, and you can sit outside if you want. It was pretty hot today, but it was still enjoyable. Honestly, I enjoyed every single bite. Everything I tried was fantastic. This place deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. I'm excited I found it and will definitely be back! read more

Country Boy’s Barbecue - Brisket, pulled pork, Collard greens delish Bbq beans hit the spot - Barbeque Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Unfortunately we did not like this place. We got pulled pork, brisket, and a full rack of ribs with mac and cheese and green beans as the sides. The reviews gave us hope but the green beans tasted like straight vinegar and none of the meat had any flavor. The workers were extremely friendly, I just wish we liked the food. read more

Am a regular who loves to go to country boys and when the sweetest ladies lift the lids and say what's on the menu for the day it's pure bliss. Very consistent and maybe 1 time the brisket was dry, other than that they always change it up like turkey for Thanksgiving, prime rib for Christmas, brisket chili, burnt ends, and always have old reliable brisket. 11/10 food with the best vibes read more

I have had many food here but not the brisket. Today went and ordered 1lb for $27! For good brisket I'm down. This brisket was pot roast stringy, dry, with thick fat not rendered. So sad. Was so hungry and looking forward to it. read more

Great food! Everyone knows barbecue isn't cheap but you actually get your moneys worth with these huge portions!

Food is fantastic, served with a smile and simple back yard feel with pick up and go or outdoor chairs. Reasonable prices and don't forget the yummy rolls! read more

Great lil spot without all the hoopla. Homemade and reasonably priced in todays food world. Try the hand pies , brisket, ham biscuits and broccoli/ rice. Yummy read more

Food was incredible. They had so many more meats and sides than just on the menu. We tried a three meat sampler and each was delicious. And the portions were very generous! read more

Love me some Country Boys! Always good food and portion sizes. Excellent service! Be mindful of their hours and days open. read more

Country Boy’s Barbecue - Pulled pork bbq, mac n cheese, collards, house made roll, Burgoo stew - Barbeque Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

Always excellent food. Specials are great. She-crab soup may be the best I've ever had. Get there early...they can sell out fast (especially in the summer). read more

Just tried this place when we saw it was open. It's a brand-new spot on Bridge Road where O'Doodle Doos Donuts used to be. It's amazing!!! We got the Family Packer for 4 and it was plenty of food and quite delicious. We also ordered a banana pudding which is literally the best I've had (besides my mom's of course). Fun place inside. You enter in one door, order, pay, and then exit out the other side. There is no indoor seating, but there are covered picnic tables outside near the smokers. It's not Carolina/Virginia style pork, but so good and somewhat unique in its flavor profile. The brisket was also very good. The Mac & Cheese, Slaw, and homemade buns were all exceptional. Well done! read more

Stopped here for lunch the other day, the absolute worse barbecue I have ever eaten! Looked great, but no taste and no seasoning at all! Have eaten barbecue all over this country, but this was by far the WORST!!!!! read more

Stopped on a rainy day to grab a quick bite. This place is IT! Got a brisket sandwich, one of the best I've had. The brisket is thick cut but so tender. The sandwich is piled so high with meat, they had to make their own bun to hold up to its mass. That's right, they make their own buns. And the Alabama white sauce is perfection *chef's kiss* This is a must try and to top it off, they have killer baked goods as well read more

Best bbq and brisket I've ever had portions huge for a good price the home made bun is wow I'd come back just for that

Love this to go food joint! Very homey and love the country vibes. Their food is always so delicious and always has that fresh off the smoker flavor. They are always changing up their weekly menu which I also love and the homemade desserts are a plus. Their chicken salad and hand pies are some of my favorite items and of course their pulled pork is always good. They do not have indoor seating but do have a cute little covered outdoor area with picnic style tables if you don't want to take your food to go. Would recommend this place for anyone who loves BBQ style food. read more

Good food. But I can't figure out why I was charged 38.00 for 2 plates. One meat and roll and 2 sides. I didn't get a receipt. Oh well. I can't afford that place again. read more

Country Boy’s Barbecue - The beef brisket, Caesar salad, and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Suffolk, Virginia

The brisket, pulled pork, corn bread and slaw were all fantastic. Vinegar based sauces (just the way I think all SE VA BBQ sauce should be). It's a bit pricey but if you cook bbq yourself and have been to the butcher lately you should know that good cuts cost $$. Tasteful looking decor inside and friendly employees! read more

The bbq itself was good chunk style, however they smoked it well but only had a strong vinegar based sauce that I had to ask for. It was overwhelming and way too strong for me to use. The buns seem to be homemade but it was over cooked. The sandwich itself I would eat again. The sides are literally like they took them out of a can. No flavor in the mac and cheese or the baked beans. Finally the banana pudding was below average. Very vanilla tasting. Overall, they seemed super nice and moved us through the line well. The meal was overpriced and in my opinion very average. Not a spot I would hit again with so many other great choices nearby. read more

We tried this place out today, and I'm glad that I didn't listen to some of the early reviews, because we really enjoyed it! Loved that everything was homemade, even the buns (which were delicious). The pulled pork had great flavor, and the slaw and pickles were both very tasty. My daughter also enjoyed the mac and cheese. The counter service was very friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

We ate here for the first time today. It was okay, but not something I'd make a second trip out from Western Branch for. I got the sampler with the chicken salad. The first thing I tried was the chicken salad and, despite using smoked chicken, it really didn't have any flavor. The brisket was good, but the pulled pork also didn't have a lot of flavor. I think it may have been better if it came with a little cup of sauce? The mac and cheese wasn't my style or flavor either. If you like spiral noodles in a cheddar cheese sauce, then you may like it better. My idea of mac and cheese at a barbecue place is browned melty cheeses, homemade style. The homemade buns and the banana pudding were good. All and all though, for the price, I've had better. read more

My new go-to for BBQ. I'm not a big fan of BBQ, but this place does it right. Their menu is a little limited, but everything we tried was awesome! I'd definitely recommend. Word of advice though, get there early. There's usually a big line in the afternoon. read more

The menu selections for entrees sides and deserts is perfect. Not too many choices but still good choices. The food is delicious too. The service was just as pleasing. Not too nice but very genuine vibe. read more

tried it for the first time. I was skeptical, but I really liked them. I was surprised to see this is a woman owned business.... expected to see a burly dude with a long beard in there...... The inside is done up in rustic style,,, I thought it was well done. No place to sit in there at all just like they say. you step 5 feet in the door and you're in line looking at the food. I didn't have issue with that either. I got the sampler plate. The rolls were surprisingly good, but in a way different than what i"m used to. Seemed to be some type of salt on them. They were a good compliment to the meats . Obviously meant to be eaten with the meats. I regretted only getting one. I had more meat thant he rolls could cover!..... I thought the pulled pork and brisket were good. .......i'm just getting into the brisket/pulled pork world, though, so I can't compare them, really, to meats from other places. Also, I like sauces, so I enhanced the flavor with their sauces and even tried some of my own when I got home. But I personally thought it was good. The green beans were tasty. I plan to get more green beans next time. ...........I got the cheeseburger soup as a side. I regretted doing that in the end because the soup and the sampler platter together really makes for a lot of food in my opinion. I'm not a light eater at all, but I was there for lunch . The sampler platter was definetely a dinner meal. .....I ate the rest later and I was good. read more

I struggled with writing this review as I generally give locally owned restaurants some slack. I can not bring bring myself to give it more than one star. The Pork and brisket has very little smoke flavor and is bland for BBQ. The Mac and Cheese was the worst I've ever been served. Super mushy noodles and very bland. The buns where tough, chewy, and bland. The potatoes and beans was the best part of the meal but even that wasn't impressive. The flavor was ok but the green beans were over cooked and tasted like they were from a can. Over all the worst money I've spend on a meal. It's near my home so I really wanted it to be good but it isn't. The only good thing I can say is that the woman working the counter was friendly and nice. read more

Food was fantastic, stopped by on the way back from Windsor Castle park...I do miss O' Doodle Doos, but I am happy to see another wonderful eatery in it's place. Food was great , prices good, service was great. I wish you the best of luck in this location! read more

Not from the area but stopped because I wanted BBQ. The sauce to add to the bbq was delicious as well as the brisket n baked beans. We bought a rack of ribs to take home to a family member. She hasn't stopped raving!!! I also got banana pudding and it was wonderful. I will stop again if nearby. read more

Had the pulled pork and brisket. Fantastic! Wasn't over cooked mush. Large servings fair prices. I paid $20 for more food than I should have eaten. I'll be back. read more

We visited today for the first time. Good food, nice people, fair price; we'll be back!

Meh. Two main bbq items that I can find better at Bubba n Frank's and Red Smoke, but if I'm at Red Smoke I'm getting a beef rib and at Bubba n Frank's they have much larger menu. read more

Our 1st time eating at this location The food was great Everything was So Fresh and delicious The 2 Lady's that took our order were very professional and Friendly. read more

Country Boy's Barbecue in Isle of Wight County gets it right every time. The homemade rolls are the best I have ever eaten and loaded up with pulled pork, coleslaw, and pickles is phenomenal. The meat and coleslaw are savory and aren't over powered with vinegar. the flavors of the meat come through. The portions are heaping and I can't ever finish it all. The potato salad is super good, too. And oh, man the baked beans are the best. I can't ever save room that banana pudding! But I get it to go. And the Bergoo tastes like my family made it. Y'all try this place!! read more

This place has so much potential. Unfortunately, there aren't many food selections, and those they do offer are bland. I was excited to see what looked like a good country bbq joint come to town, but they miss the mark. With a small selection, there offerings should be flavorful, but they taste worse than a TV dinner. Hopefully they can work things out. read more

While I will miss the old donut place, this is a very good local establishment. The pulled pork has excellent flavor. I had it on a roll with two sides for $13. The baked beans were good but nothing extraordinary, but the banana pudding was to die for. It was full of sliced bananas and topped with a whipped topping. All together it is more than I should have had. In addition, I purchased two blueberry tarts for my wife. she loved them. I will be coming back. read more

Living in TX for 20 years turned me into a barbecue snob, and Country Boy's did not disappoint! The pulled pork is outstanding: Juicy, flavorful, tender. The brisket is also delicious: Tender, moist, flavorful. The dry rub they use on the brisket is delicious. Home made rolls are so good! Eat them while they're warm (I might have eaten mine in the car on the way home). And the banana pudding is, in my husband's word, "legit." Service is friendly, and the smell as you walk up is pure barbecue heaven. read more

The lady at the counter was super nice and cool, food is awesome, nice smoke rings on EVERYTHING. Brisket was maybe the best I've had, pulled pork with the vinegar sauce was perfect and the Mac and nana pudding was good. read more
