When I walked in the door I was met with less than enthusiastic staff. No personality at all. I hate talking bad about staff. Most work real hard, maybe it was just a bad day. I ordered the large pork bbq sandwich with slaw and a chopped brisket (what?) sandwich with slaw. And a side of baked beans (pint). The bun was very stiff and the brisket had no smoke smell or flavor. This is why I don't care for chopped brisket. You can't see the smoke ring or crust which is why I'm not sure what the cut was. It was a bit dry and chewy. The pint of beans had no flavor either. They seemed like they came from a can. The pork bbq was the same. For the price I paid for 3 sandwiches it definitely was not a good value. I'm afraid I can't give you a good review on this visit. Poor impression and poor brisket. Lethal combination.

I really liked the big portions that they give for the sandwiches. The cheese fries side was also…read moreample and delicious. The hush puppies were good, as was the corn nuggets, which I LOVE, but it definitely isn't as generous as the fries are. The sandwiches were really tasty. The pulled pork was good, but I think the fried bologna was amazing. The bologna was super thick, charred, and topped with onions and peppers and cheese. It tasted like the most interesting Philly cheesesteak I have ever had. I will definitely crave this again. The cheese fries were really good, plentiful, and they had a slightly spicy kick, like maybe there was some jalapeño juice in the cheese? So good! The food is pretty inexpensive too considering. A sandwich piled high with pulled pork and coleslaw sets you back around $8, and add a few dollars more to get a fountain soda and a side. The bbq sauces were good, but nothing insane. I couldn't tell the difference between their sweet and spicy sauces, but the sweet peach one is pretty unique and tasty. I ordered a bag of pork rinds to take home and they were just okay. I've had some really spectacular ones that are made fresh, and these were made the day prior, so they were good, just lacking the warm, fluffy, melt in your mouth goodness that Hogshead has. I probably won't order them again, even though I did like the smoky seasoning blend they put on top. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the lady taking our order was very nice and helpful. I'll definitely be back.

I arrived shortly after they opened on a Thursday and was the first customer in the place. I reviewed the menu, especially the hot dog options, and went with their BBQ slaw dog and a side of mac and cheese. Service was not overly kind to me but as regulars came in, I saw the hospitality really shine. As I was filling up my drink, I saw all their sauce options and added a side of fries to my order as well as a vehicle for sauce tasting. When my plate came out, I was really pleased with the look of the hot dog. Less so with the sides. I know everything is expensive right now and places are doing their best but $2.50 per side when being given that amount seemed a little off. The Mac and cheese was good, very creamy and cheesy. The fries were hot and crispy. Could have used some extra seasoning. The hot dog was good. I added extra BBQ sauce but the bbq on the dog (NC style) was nice with a good vinegary bite. The slaw was ok. I prefer a smaller chop on the cabbage just for ease of eating. The sauces were all really good with the Wildwood hot being my favorite.

We stopped by mid-bike ride for a meal and were grateful for their exceptionally kind and patient service and hospitality. Bathrooms available and ample places to park since it is a part of a shopping center. The staff gave me an overview of the different types of BBQ: NC is more vinegar based, Red is Virginia's take with a tomato base, and Just BBQ is your classic sweet BBQ sauce. I of course had to go with the Red since we were visiting Virginia for the first time! I'm so glad I did. The food came out exceptionally fast and everything was fresh and hot! I seriously can't express how good the BBQ was. It was juicy, flavorful, and everything you'd want from BBQ. I'll be searching for a sauce like that for years to come since I'm not local! The potato salad was also excellent and the mac n cheese, despite being a bit mushy, had a good flavor. I absolutely loved the corn muffins - no notes! The best part of our visit was getting to chat with the locals who approached us asking about our bike ride. They were all very friendly and made me feel as if I was a local myself. I highly recommend Wildwood to anyone in this area or passing through. I would drive (and bike) a good ways to have this meal again. Thank you so much!

It was presented well, showing pride and care. I really enjoyed the ACP (arroz con pollo)! I wish there had been a bit more guacamole served with it though.
