    On the way back from the Tidewater area I was seeking a place for some good, local grub and saw the reviews for Two Drummers and came here. The parking was packed on a weekday around 1PM and when I went inside, they were really busy, but there was plenty of seating at the bar, so I chose that. My server was great! Very friendly and helpful with the menu. She said one of her favs for lunch was their smoked meatloaf, so I chose that. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It came out pretty quickly and looked and smelled really good. It tasted great! I love a good smoked meatloaf and this one definitely fit the bill! The mac & cheese was decent. The mashed potatoes and gravy that the meatloaf was sitting on were also really good. I have to say, I wasn't too impressed with their spicier BBQ sauce, it didn't seem spicy to me, almost tasted just like the regular BBQ sauce (wonder if someone filled the bottle with the wrong stuff?), but their mustard based sauce was excellent and I used it primarily. Overall, a great visit, I'd definitely return and would recommend stopping in! The other nice thing is they're right on Rt60, so I didn't have to get back on that horrible 64 when done, I took 60 back to 295, which is less stressful than 64 - so it was a win win!!

    Service was great and food was very good Ribs and Brisket Mac & Cheese Sauce was great

    Smoke pork plate with coleslaw and hush puppies. Served with cornbread.

    Great food and service. Time to receive food was slower due to Father's Day crowd, but worth the wait. The Bama sauce was yummy! Had the pork plate and other in the party had the brisket French dip. Both were great. Cornbread is sweet and moist. Hush puppies were yummy served with honey. Quaint location popular with locals.

    She got the 3 little bigs, hush puppies, and 3 cheese macaroni  I got the iron clad burger with fries

    Doesn't look like much from the outside but that's the best you can hope for!!! We knew it was going to be good when you could smell the brisket from outside. I wasn't even hungry before we walked inside, ate the whole 7oz burger and fries. I'm from like Arizona - Texas so I know a good smokehouse, give them your love!!!! It's so worth it and pretty cheap.

    We stopped in as we traveled from Richmond to Williamsburg. Service was excellent. My husband ordered a plate that included ribs and brisket, and I had the brisket burnt ends. My burnt ends came with a different sauce than what they offer on the table, and it was our favorite sauce. I also had a side of fried green tomatoes that were great! The decor is fun with various drum themed items.

    Our friends and neighbors have been telling us about Two Drummers, so we had to try it ourselves. We had so much fun going for an early dinner. We walked in around 5:15 pm, and while the bar was pretty full, there were lots of tables open, and one booth. We asked to be seated at the booth. After we sat down, more and more diners arrived. We started with their Mel-garita (a traditional margarita named after one of their bartenders). It was bright and tasty. We also enjoyed their sweet tea. They had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and we couldn't resist. They were perfectly done--the tomatoes were juicy and crisp, and the breading was light. We dipped them in a yummy tomato ranch. For dinner we ordered the pulled pork sandwich, topped with cole slaw. We also got a side of collards -- so good -- especially with their traditional bbq sauce. We also ordered the brisket entree, with cole slaw and hushpuppies. We enjoyed the tangy vinegar sauce with the brisket. We had so much food, we took half home to enjoy later. The restaurant is casual and laid back. They also have outdoor dining under a tent. Bands play music outside on Thursdays, and we were advised to make reservations for those nights. They may have music other days too. I'm not sure. They take reservations, except day-of, so plan ahead--at least by one day. Now, after writing this review, I'm ready for more Two Drummers BBQ!

    Just OK. Very casual - almost disinterested - service. BBQ is three star as well: not bad but not outstanding.

    Love them! Their pork rinds are so fresh and delicious. I don't think I've had a bad thing off their menu. Great beer selection and bar.

    Sometimes good and sometimes not, last time I purchased food from there you could taste the dirty smoke on the smoked pork.

    Best BBQ place I've been to. Much better than County Grill and even Pierce's in my opinion. And great family dining.

    So happy we stopped here, the food was so good, dare I say the best food we've had in the area. We…read moreenjoyed their lunch and breakfast options. Service was also great! I recommend the biscuits and gravy with the garlic potatoes and the fried apples. Both sides were excellent. The smoked turkey in the Club sandwich was really good.

    I work remote for my job. Now and then it is nice to get out of the house and see people…read more Breakfast is a great way to do that. I had breakfast at Honey Butter's, had my laptop with me and worked while I was there. My waitress, Aliana, was wonderful. She was delightfully happy and very responsive. She made a great recommendation for my omelet (three cheese and add sausage) and had a smile on her face the entire time. You could hear her joy when interacting with the other customers as well. When I work at a restaurant like this I make sure I am not there at their busy time. I arrived around 9:30 am and left around 11 am. Aliana checked on me periodically and kept my coffee hot the entire time I was there. The food was also superb (with the exception of the biscuit). The omelet was hot, the combination of cheeses was great and the spinach was sautéed and distributed throughout my omelet. The potatoes here are wonderful. They are cooked in a butter garlic sauce that add to the flavor, but doesn't overwhelm. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the center. I just wish the biscuits were better. They always get hard after about 10 min with a stale consistency (but don't let this stop you from enjoying everything else!).
