Yelps review was 3.5 and we couldn't get into the better steakhouse down the road. As we walked in, we all felt like a Texas Roadhouse vibe. They even chanted and clapped for a birthday. Their homemade (I think) bread to start they loved. Between 3 of us, we had a filet, a ribeye and a Ny strip. Unfortunately, we rated it all a 3. Steaks were very thin and way overcooked. But, it was still better than having fast food. #charlestonfoodandwine #charlestonfoodie #logansroadhouse

The kitchen staff was very accommodating and prepared a hamburger and grilled vegetables for me to take to my room. I was a bit surprised by the $13 price, when I received it I remembered that the patty is 1/2 pound of meat. The burger was big and cooked exactly as I wanted. The bun was toasted. I customized the burger by adding grilled mushrooms and onions. I can't say enough about how friendly and pleasant the staff was. I can't vouch for other menu items, but I was very satisfied wit my burger.

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 inside, definitely needs to be updated, but this is coming from an out of towner. I ordered the grilled chicken salad to go with ranch and when I tell you, I was in heaven....I WAS IN HEAVEN. I'm normally not a fan of iceberg lettuce, but the combination with that, the fresh grilled chicken, red onion, olblack olives, cucumbers, and shredded cheese with the ranch (not sure the vendor) made me fall in love I should have gotten a large because the small wasn't enough, but I was new to the restaurant and wasn't sure on how it would taste. The earlier review was from last year, but this year my review is still the same!!! I mistakenly ordered the chef salad versus garden, but it was a HAPPY mistake. It still has that nostalgic vibe if you want to step back in time (minus the racism ). The two workers are the sweetest I've ever met.
