I appreciated our server, Emily, as she took time to repeat our order and made it a point to ask if we needed anything after bringing our drinks. She was very attentive. Food was good. We enjoyed the Chips & Dip Trio appetizer. The Lemon Pepper boneless wings were tasty. And the Mango Habanero wings had some heat! All-in-all this was a great meal.

While visiting Williamsburg, we decided to grab some dinner. As we were passing by the Big Yellow…read moreWinged Buffalo, the two 15-year-old boys immediately spotted it and said, "That's what we want to eat!" So, of course, we listened to the teenagers! That was our first mistake! We walked in and were seated shortly after 7 PM. Our waitress greeted us, took our drink order, and returned with my soda. The kids' lemonades were still being made, and my fiancé's beer hadn't even been poured by the bartender yet. It ended up taking 8 minutes after receiving my drink for the waitress to bring the rest of our drinks. Normally, I wouldn't make a big deal about that, but there were maybe 25-30 people in the entire restaurant. Looking back, that probably should have been another sign to leave. But after two kids and two adults had been in the car for three hours, we were hungry and ready to eat. Once we finally received our drinks, we placed our orders. While we were waiting, the gentleman at the table beside us asked to speak with the manager. His wife turned around and explained to us that they had ordered their food, but the two kids' meals still hadn't come out while the adults were almost finished eating. You could see that both parents were upset and frustrated, and the little ones were clearly just ready to have their food. The wife knew the husband was going to be angry so she prepared us for it and stayed she hoped our experience would be better! When the manager came over, shs explained that the kids' food "didn't look presentable to send out," that they were short-staffed, and that it would be ready soon. Oh my, Kids food didn't look presentable enough? It's BDubs not anything fancy! The manger definitely was in the wrong, if there isn't enough kitchen staff trained to prepare food than they shouldn't be opened for business! At that point, I remember thinking, Oh golly... this isn't going to turn out well. And unfortunately, I was right. When our food finally arrived, the wings were extremely overcooked and absolutely drenched in sauce. My 15-year-old son, who loves our hometown Bdubs, could only choke down 3 of them. I tasted one myself, and honestly, I can't even describe how much teriyaki sauce was smothered on it. I ordered the patty melt. It was overcooked & super dry amd definitely not worth the price. The fries were loaded with salt, and the other two meals in our party were, at best, just okay. By the time we finally left, we had been there for over two hours. For what we paid and the overall experience, it simply wasn't worth it. Even the restroom could use a good cleaning. I always try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt because everyone can have an off night, and I understand that staffing issues happen. But with the lack of people in the restaurant, the long wait for drinks, the issues we witnessed at the table beside us, the quality of our food, and the amount of time we spent there, this was unfortunately not a good experience. I definitely would not recommend this particular location. Two teenage boys picked it because it looked like a great place to eat, and unfortunately, it ended up being one of those vacation meals we'll remember for all the wrong reasons!!!

I came to Williamsburg looking for a GOOD steak... and somehow ended up at a smokehouse--and I'm…read moreactually glad I did! Rocco's Smokehouse kept popping up when we searched for places to eat, so we decided to give it a shot. We weren't really in the mood for barbecue, and they only had ONE steak option, but the menu looked so interesting that we figured, why not? There was about a 15-20 minute wait, which immediately had me thinking, "Okayyy, maybe we made the right choice!" The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and had a great vibe. IMPORTANT: Navigation took us to the wrong location, so pay close attention to the Yelp directions. Rocco's is currently operating from a temporary location. Once we were seated, our waiter was right over to take our drink order. First things first--the sweet tea is MAGNIFICENT! And let me tell you what you NEED to order: Smoked barbecue wings -- MUST ORDER -- absolutely get it! Rocco actually brought it to our table and warned us that we would be hooked and he was right! I originally wanted the lump crab cakes, but I didn't see anyone else ordering them, so I took my waiter's recommendation and went with the brisket quesadillas. GREAT decision! They were juicy, flavorful, and downright scrumptious. My partner ordered Platter #3, which came with ribs, a quarter chicken, and pork barbecue. The chicken was his favorite--he could not stop talking about it! You could really taste that smoky flavor in the meat. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good too. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by Rocco's. We went in craving steak and left talking about smoked wings, chicken, brisket, and barbecue! Would I go back? Absolutely! And next time, those crab cakes are getting ordered! #WilliamsburgVA #WilliamsburgEats #VirginiaFoodie #RoccosSmokehouse #Foodie #YelpEats #BBQ #FoodReview #VirginiaRestaurants

First impression NOISY. This place is loud. High ceilings and open dining area makes the voices reverberate throughout the woke restaurant.

Not a bad bbq place but definitely has room for improvement.
