Then we first smelled and spotted the smoker and figured out how to get around to the entrance. It's in a big warehousey type building and everything looks brand new inside. I had the brisket sandwich. So tender and loaded with meat. The loaded potato salad was really nice. I think it had pulled pork in it, something smokey, but not bacon. My friend had the brisket nachos. She got the half order and barely made a dent in it. Service was very fast and it's right off the interstate.

Once in a while it's not cooked as ordered but tolerable. The pulled pork sandwich is very tasty and piled high. They have a small but very adequate salad bar that's fresh and cold. I get takeout once in a while. The brisket is usually very very good. Only once I've been disappointed as it was dry and bland but I drove 30 minutes. I definitely recommend this place. They work hard and the kitchen as you walk in is spotless.

I usually settle in with one favorite item at restaurants we frequent. Here it's always a dilemma. Today the special was a ribeye steak with two sides. The steak was massive. It was smoked and had a great flavor. My wife got the fish. It is a Friday AYCE special but is available any day. Sundays they have AYCE fried chicken. You can also order a 4 piece meal for a lesser price and I've never been able to finish that. My "usual" is a 2 meat combo. I usually go for ribs and a sausage, but the pulled pork and brisket are both good. I didn't care for the turkey and have tried bbq chicken. For sides, I like the baked beans and fried potatoes the best. Had a baked potato today and it was cooked through. There is usually a soup special - the ham and beans is my favorite. Note that it is usually packed on Sundays at lunch. It is much better to go Friday or Saturday at lunch. I've never seen a line then, but then you won't be able to get the fried chicken! We eat here about twice a month and I highly recommend it. It's the best bbq in a wide area around here.

Road snack! Pit stop for BBQ right off the highway. Wish I could be more enthused…read more We pulled in around lunch time, there were a couple of people seated. To the left of the door was a window opening to the back with a woman standing there with a baby on her hip, we were looking around to see where to go and she let us know to head to the second window to the back. Upon arriving at the second window, there was a young man standing there. He didn't greet us, didn't smile, just stood there. I indicated it was our first time in and asked a question about the menu, he responded with the answer and then just continued to stand there. I was very uncomfortable so just ordered a sampler with nothing else. For the three options, i chose pulled pork, brisket, and 2 ribs. The food came out right away but no comments or anything. We saw the BBQ sauce area and I took a couple of options in condiment cups with no lids available. grabbed some napkins as we would continue our road trip and eat in the car. I am never a big fan of pulled pork; I have my favorite and compare all to it. This had more flavor than most I have had but it was really dry for being ordered early in the day. The brisket was tender and the fat attached gave flavor. The ribs were fine, also dry. This was a pit stop on our road trip because we love BBQ, this just wasn't for us.

Some tables inside and a big pavilion outside. The menu has a lot of options and they have great specials. I feel the price was good. All of the meats were great! So flavorful and tender. The jalapeño sausage was also very good. The sides were not the plain old salads and I assume made in-house. The potato salad sweet and creamy. The slaw has apple slivers in it to give it a sweet crunch. The beans had a little spice to them. The bread pudding is good with no shortage on sweetness.

My friend and I was looking around for food after a round of disc golf at Pride's Creek…read more There isn't a lot to choose from in Petersburg and for some reason, searching Yelp only turns up 6 results. This BBQ joint does not show up in any of them so I found No. 423 by Google. First of all, this was a pleasant surprise because my buddy and I didn't have high hopes for it. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. We started off with an appetizer and chose the onion straws with pulled pork and cheese. The pulled pork was ok and it was mixed with sauce and the onion straws were tasty. Nothing special though. I picked a combo plate with brisket and ribs and chose baked potato salad and cornbread salad. They were out of sweet potato casserole which I picked over cornbread salad. They upcharged for all of this though. They had a choices but brisket and ribs cost more and sides besides beans, slaw, and American potato salad cost more. The brisket was better than the ribs. I was surprised how good the brisket actually was. They got it down with the tenderness and good mix of fat. The ribs were big, meaty and wet but not as good as the brisket. They did give a good size portion for meat but the sides had small portions. I think I ate both sides in four bites. The most impressive thing about No. 423 though were their homemade sauces. Their homemade ranch was zesty. There was a creamy horseradish. The BBQ was a sweet ketchup base and then there was a housemade hot sauce. The hot sauce was a thicker Crystal and I liked mixing it with the BBQ sauce. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet. Overall, a pretty good place to eat in Petersburg. The sauces are housemade and terrific. The brisket is better than average and the ribs are pretty good. The two things I hate though are so many things having upcharges on a combo plate and the portions of the sides being small. I would eat here again though.

There was no taste to them except for what they considered BBQ sauce. They looked like they had been boiled. The baked beans were definitely not homemade and more than likely were the cheapest brand out there with no additional seasoning, ie. Brown sugar which would have helped. The mashed potatoes had the appearance of powdered potatoes. Seriously probably the most disgusting meal I've ever eaten at a restaurant that claimed to be a BBQ establishment. Additionally, I had to wait 20 minutes to be served and I was one of three customers at the time I ordered.
