Headed from Raleigh back to Tennessee and decided to take the scenic route. We're so glad we did. We always keep an eye out for roadside BBQ when we're traveling through the South, and this place did not disappoint. Forget fast food--if you want barbecue that's tender, flavorful, and melts in your mouth, make the stop. The owners came out and chatted with us, and you can tell it's a family-run place that takes pride in what they do. Very clean. Beautiful views. The food was amazing, the prices were reasonable, and the hospitality was just as good as the barbecue. We'll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever we're headed through the area. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful BBQ place. Ribs and pulled pork were flavorful, tender, and didn't need a sauce. They did have a very good sweet sauce and a mustard sauce to enhance the ribs. Mac and cheese side was very tasty. Beans were a bit spicy. Order and pick up at an outdoor counter with indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean, nice bathrooms and easy to get to from I-77. Great family owned place, owners were very friendly and walked us through the menu choices. read more

Absolutely amazing food and experience we did get there a little late so most of the food was sold out. But the barbecue was delicious and the service is excellent!! It's a perfect spot because we had just finished antique shopping in the area so we had gotten hungry. If you are hungry for some good food this is the place! read more

Amazing food. Great service. Great out door seating area. Definitely coming back for more!

Place is a damn joke. Called 45 min ahead of time said we are out of brisket which is normal. Get there sigh says sold out and I said I just called. "Oh I can find you something". Like scraps off the floor? Place is a damn joke keep drivin read more

Cane after winning tennis state championship, Ribs were good spicy sauce was good everything was really yummy

Drove 312 miles for this place and it was some of the best food we've ever had. 100% recommend!!

Food was wonderful! Staff was extremely helpful and kind - husband has Celiac and they knew exactly what he could have on the menu. Large portions too ! We got half rack ribs, pulled pork pork nachos and sides - will definitely return read more

Bill serves really good and creative barbecue. I asked if the meat is served with sauce on it, or sauce on the side. "On the side. The meat has to stand on its own." Music to my ears, and shortly was music to my taste buds. Delicious pulled pork, and my buddy had a pound of non- sauced pulled chicken. He liked it. Collard greens were spicy and yummy, cole slaw with a vinaigrette style dressing that was a welcome change from all the mayonnaise based cold slaw dressings. Very tasty. Best of all were the black eyed peas. Like a wonderful veggie stew, very savory with onions and a thick consistency. I could have made a meal of the black eyed peas. It's a little off the highway, maybe a quarter to half a mile. Well worth the effort. read more

I was very disappointed. Had the and it was very dry. They didn't give me enough barbecue sauce. The collard greens was too much vinegar and so was the coleslaw. The hamburger bun was either over toasted or stale.. my husband brisket was very dry.... read more

Such a great place! Some great outdoor seating and the food is exactly, well better, than what you are looking for with bbq. The brisket was perfect and not fatty, and the 3 bean salad was the best side. Don't forgot about the ice cream either! read more

Dropped by this gem on the way home from out of town and was met with amazing service and the best barbecue sandwich I have had in a long time. The issue I find with most BBQ spots is that they over complicate the most straightforward things. Here they just got it right. Taste like my granddaddy smoked this pork on his smoker back in 1989! I had a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and added the different sauces. I also had some greens. My family had brisket and beef rib (falling off the bone) along with greens and macaroni and cheese. If you find your self needing a place to stop and want some good food - stop here. They do BBQ right! read more

This was one of the best BBQ restaurants I have ever eaten at. It's also open on Sundays which is an issue that plagues restaurants in Wytheville. We were staying in the area back in June and noticed the restaurant right next to interstate 81. They were all out of brisket but we got pulled pork and chicken. The sauces were incredible (especially the vinegar base sauce) and the meat was tender and very flavorful. I was happy with all the sides as well as their cornbread. You order your food at a window and they bring it out to you. Service was excellent and the friendly owner / manager came by and talked to us for a while. I will definitely be stopping here again anytime I'm in that part of Virginia. read more

Stopped here for lunch after reading the good reviews both here and on Find Me Gluten Free. There's a lot of seating both indoors and outside. I had the BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos and they were really good- the pork was tender, and the sweet BBQ sauce played nicely against the jalapeño peppers. The staff was friendly. I was happy with how clean the restrooms and the entire place was- it overall made for a very nice stop on our road trip! read more

My family and I loved this BBQ! Being Kansas transplants to Virginia we are accustomed to KC style BBQ, but we do like to try different styles and this was definitely unique at least as far as the side dishes. The burnt ends brisket was not necessarily unique, but it was superb in quality and taste. I got a side of chili which was like no chili I had ever had before but was delicious, and the same for the cole slaw. Mac and cheese and tater salad were excellent too! We will definitely be back in the future, Lord willing! These folks definitely take pride in their BBQ. read more

I was skeptical but after I grabbed my food I was somewhat impressed. I'm not a big 5 Star reviewer but this came close to it. I'm always afraid that when I order brisket, it will be a small portion and ver dry and no flavor. This time I was mostly wrong, it was a good portion and flavorful but it was somewhat dry. I did get the Mac and Cheese along with the collards and they both were delicious. The sitting room was a nice option to sitting outside and the room was very clean and presentable. They had free refills on tea and that is a bonus. Although I was just passing through, if I'm back this way I will make it a place to stop again. read more

Food was fantastic! Staff and owner super nice and helpful, collards were hot but delicious and unique!! Just passing through but if we lived here we'd be here often! Support Local, they're doing it right! read more

Such a cute spot!! The restaurant had tons of outdoor and indoor seating with 2 wood burning stoves inside. We got the ribs plate with the burnt ends and Brunswick stew specials. The ribs were excellent and the Carolina style mustard sauce was probably our favorite thing we ate. The burnt ends were tender and saucy and the collards were sweet and vinegar-y. We'll definitely have to stop again when we're passing through wythville!! read more

Let me startoff saying this is HANDS DOWN the best place I've ever ate since moving to VA, Potentially even was the best BBQ ive had in my entire life (in my personal opinion)... Majority of food these days gives me major stomach issues, this was the LIGHTEST/EASIEST food on my stomach issues that I've found, exploding with flavor with no recoil on my stomach!!!! I got the short beef rib and it was fall-off-bone tender, freshcollard greens with a bite to them & mac n cheese = EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! Didn't even need TUMS after demolishing it all down fast! Atmosphere was super clean & kept up with, really peaceful and wasn't crowded when I went (I have bad social anxiety). Only issue was I've been going thru a lot personally in life, and lady up front snapped at me about hitting my Nic Vape once, I apologized and immediately put it up, but then she just had this attitude about anything I said after the fact. I understand she could very well be going thru it in life as well, but there was no visible sign in the lot walking up to outside patio, plus was only couple ppl there... I was in the wrong although sign was on complete different building, but I also apologized and then just was given this negative tone of voice and looks at me by person waiting on me and felt somewhat uncomfortable. Whatever this person is going thru I hope things get better, I didn't take it personally because I know how life can drain your mood and everything. And I hope things get better for them, as I have experience working in food industry, and what they have to put up with working there... THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING MEAL!!!! read more

All I can say is AMAZING! So happy we found this wonderful place on Yelp! We had a Dino bone beef rib and pork ribs with black eyed peas, 3 bean salad, collard greens and Cole slaw. Loved every bite of it! And the ice cream is so rich and creamy. You don't want to miss this one! read more

We were staying in Wytheville for the weekend. After reading reviews we decided to try this bbq joint. It's easy to find, and parking isn't marked. Just a gravel lot. It's an order at the window and pick up type of place. They give you a pager if you decide to eat there and have indoor and outdoor dining. The service is friendly as you order. They are happy to answer any questions. Their plates come with a good bit of food: protein, two sides, bread and cornbread. I went with the brisket. I was sad to see their collard greens were sold out. So I went with Mac and cheese and black eyed peas. I've tried a lot of barbecue and this was good, just not the best I've had. Portions were decent. The brisket was smoked well and had some good seasoning on the bark. It wasn't extremely fatty, but cut be cut easily. Everything had some spice and pepper, even the sides. It was overwhelming at times where I couldn't taste the flavor of the meat sauce or sides. The sides were a little cool like they had been sitting. Mac and cheese was okay. The black-eyed peas were bland aside from the pepper. I got an end piece of cornbread so it was a little dry. So overall everything was okay and I probably would have rather carried this out. The only other thing that we didn't like was the soft drinks are cans. And $1.50 for one is a little high. Had we known we would have done take out and use the drinks we had at our cabin. They would benefit from a soda machine. Overall, a decent bbq place. I would go again and try some other things. read more

Great midway lunch spot on way to the beach. Easy to get to from the highway. Friendly owners, great BBQ. My husband had the brisket plate, fantastic! Our son and his girlfriend had the pulled pork, also delicious. I had the smoked turkey, which was amazing. Several sauces that were all good. The sides were nice accompaniments to the meal, but mixed reviews. The vinegar style coleslaw was very good. Compliments on the potato salad from one person. Cornbread could have used some honey. All in all, great place with indoor and outdoor seating. Loved being outside on the deck. We'll be back! read more

There is a reason why this spot is 5 stars! Unbelievable food, pristine cleanliness, and kind, friendly staff. We stopped here both to Ohio from Boca Florida and on the way back to Florida. My favorites are the bean salad and potato salad. I suggest trying all 3 sauces. The newly added wings are fresh, crispy and not fatty and marinated in a special sauce. My dog, Butter, rates as well 5 read more
