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!

I feel like this is a 3 1/2 star BBQ restaurant. Was looking forward to such a highly rated…read moreestablishment so I rushed across town at lunchtime. Business was steady, but not full or overcrowded in the least. It's very close to the airport, easy access with plenty of free parking in the large lot out in front of the strip mall. Barbecue tasted good and they actually have fried okra . You don't find that everywhere. No issues with the additional side menu items. The portion of the barbecue and the side was quite small. Because it smelled so good when I walked in I went ahead and ordered a dinner portion and it turns out that's the same exact size as a lunch portion despite being more expensive. Service was slow. I don't mind waiting a few minutes for good barbecue, but it took longer than it should have. And, I was about halfway done with the meal before the soft drinks came out. Seems like they also do catering, which probably wouldn't have the slow service problem. I might try them again if I'm in that area as I don't think there's any BBQ close by the airport. Maybe I just hit it on a day when staff called out sick or something.

What a disappointment. Service was good, but very forgetful. Just think he was new…read more Food was disappointing. Fried Brussel sprouts with hot honey/balsamic/ feta were average. Not much flavor. Kids chicken strips were a chicken patty that was overcooked and cut up. Also came out lukewarm at best. The Rueben was soggy and had about three slices of meat on it. Very little sauce on the sandwich no and was charged for extra when I asked for more. Added the Parmesan truffle fries which were powered Parmesan with some truffle oil sprinkled on top. Again all lukewarm. The Timberwolf burger had maybe two jalapeño's on it and the onions were burnt. The regular burgers and kids are the same size. Housemade pickles were soggy and the cucumber skins were tough. The quality of food from when we had eaten here a couple years ago was subpar in comparison. If you are going to charge for upscale items then they need to be upscale in the quality of what you are serving. Will not be back.

Cons: While I understand the sandwich requires a strong vessel to hold the toppings, the bread was very thick and tough. The fillings did not match the bread proportion on this particular sandwich. The chicken breast was extremely overcooked and difficult to chew. Several pieces were leather-like in texture. Maybe chicken thighs would work better. I love the creativity of this sandwich and I get where they were trying to go, but the finished product was disappointing. A new line cook was being trained so perhaps this accounted for the miss. I've seen photos of the other sandwiches and they look delicious with better proportioned fillings. Not sure if I'll give it another try, but shoutout to all their fans in Church Hill.

Jordan was very helpful and attentive to us. I liked all of autograph celebrity pictures on the walls that had performed here in the area and had eaten there at Classics.

They also have a little grocery section with a good selection of wine, beer, chocolates, and other basics. They also have a good variety of menu of options that can cater to plant-based folks like us - we opted for the vegan TLT and vegan mushroom philly and both delicious! The flavor profiles were pretty on point, but the sandwich bread really stood out - they had just the right crunch-to-soft ratio The staff are also lovely - they helped me pick from the options and were very knowledgeable about the menu - good vibes all around and definitely worth stopping by if you want to enjoy a casual meal with great food and drinks. Pro-tip: you can also order to-go and walk over to the Jefferson park to enjoy an easy picnic with a stunning view of the city

The parking situation is surprisingly easy for a downtown area, there were so many parking spots back behind the building. The vibe here is very peaceful and pleasant. There are tons of well-maintained live plants, plenty of colorful tapestries, a beachy blue and sandy brown color scheme, and a ton of fairy lights and fake plants decorating the walls. It is exactly how my house looks, and I love it. The food is amazing. We opted for a smash burger with bacon, a cheesesteak, a turkey bacon pesto sub, and a basket of fries to share. Everything was so ridiculously good. The bacon was thick and so crisp, which is exactly how I like it and it added so much texture to everything. The subs are thiccc and so good. They do not skimp on the meat here. The burger was awesome and definitely add bacon if you order it. The fries are perfect! They are slightly thicker than shoestring, and so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The basket was the perfect size to split between three hungry adults. The service was great, everyone was friendly, the food came out really fast, and refills were brought pretty promptly. I will DEFINITELY be back again and again, this place is awesome.

It's a little pricey but it was good. I wish the sandwiches/subs did include a side for the price. We will be back. Side note-Everclear was playing when we sat down so extra points for good jams.

A hidden gem in RVA! If you're anywhere near Richmond and craving an unforgettable sandwich, run to…read morePolpetti. I stopped by today and tried their Italian Grinder on house-made focaccia and it was absolutely incredible. The focaccia alone is worth the trip: golden, chewy, and just the right amount of crisp on the edges. But the real star? The layers of perfectly sliced Italian meats, sharp provolone, crunchy lettuce, and fresh banana peppers (added) that gave every bite a hit of tang and spice. It's a sandwich that feels both thoughtfully crafted and wildly indulgent. Even better, Polpetti is family-owned and operated, and you can taste the pride in every bite. The owner makes everything in-house from the focaccia to the pasta salad and it shows. The pasta salad was the perfect side: fresh and balanced with the right amount of crunch from the peppers. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and personal, just like the food. This spot is a must-visit for sandwich lovers. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and support this local gem! UPDATE: They now have a coffee menu, take & bake options and gelato!
