Oct, 2025. We visited Country Boys BBQ for lunch on a week-day while running errands in Louisa, VA;…read morethis was our first visit. Food (5/5). I selected the Pork Tacos PLATTER ($16), which featured three soft flour tortillas filled with smoked pulled pork, house-made pico (red onion, tomato, cilantro), and radish with a Baja drizzle. (Corn tortillas are available upon request). All platters come with two 8-ounce sides; from the 9 choices, we opted for the broccoli salad and onion rings. My husband selected a Smoked Pulled Pork SANDWICH ($10), which was served on a "signature-branded" bun with regular or spicy slaw (on the side) and with a bag of Lay's chips. All of our food was very good, and tasted fresh and homemade. The "branding" of the restaurant's logo on the bun was a fun touch, and we got a pleasant surprise in finding that the very tasty BBQ sauce on the tables was manufactured by GWB Hot Sauce in Clarksburg, WV (which we visit regularly to see a relative). Quantities were good for a filling lunch; we did not have leftovers for a brown bag. Two small comments: (1) my husband would've preferred a more generous helping of the slaw to put on his sandwich; and (2) it would be great to have a menu option that is vegetarian, perhaps a platter with three or four of the side dishes -- or at least showing a separate price for the sides on the menu. Ambiance. (4.5/5). The restaurant is country cute, with clean, well-spaced tables. Many of the tables were occupied while we were there for lunch but it didn't feel crowded. A few patrons seemed "local", and acknowledged the owner who was sitting with some buddies at one of the tables. The restroom was well-maintained. Service (4.5/5). There was only one (efficient!) waitress, handling in-restaurant and take-out orders, delivering food and drinks, wiping down tables, etc. Despite how busy she was, we felt taken care of. Parking, in a town of Louisa lot behind the restaurant, was free and easy. We will return.

I am so…read moredisappointed because my fiancé' and I were starving and looking forward to a good meal to complete our day trip. I had the chicken barbecue that was absent of barbecue. The barbecue was in a squirt bottle. I have never seen anything like it in my life!! I just knew it was going to be a country meal that made my soul smile. She asked me if I wanted to try something else and in my mind, I was telling her, "heck no, I really do not want to eat this", but here we are. I also had the macaroni salad. Maybe they just do not believe in seasoning. But then again, even the water was disgusting. Yep, I will not be returning even if I am starving and have nowhere else to eat. I will eat my acrylic overlay first.

The atmosphere is "parking lot chic". The staff was friendly enough. They were ok with us having our dog on the outdoor eating area. Limited menu, Chinese and seafood. My wife had shrimp in oyster sauce, and spring rolls.I had shrimp and sausage boil. Servings were generous and the food was good. Shrimp were large and tasty. We would probably do take out if we go back.

I'm a Carolina style BBQ man. Vinegar is where it's at. Butch's BBQ was exactly what I was looking for. I ordered a sandwich platter with slaw. We got the meal to-go and I was shocked that the bun was not soggy. That is a common complaint with BBQ to go, soggy bread. Not the case here. It was very good lean, flavorful pork. The baked beans were GREAT. It had a slight peppery finish that gave it pop. It had been a while since my last baked bean experience, I'm not sure why I waited so long. The hush puppies were a nice touch. The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, I think I was expecting something a little creamier. 100% I'll be back for more BBQ when in the area.

No way... too good not to share. Here is the low down on some of the menu items we have tried. Mega taco and normal tacos: It's mega alright! It's so big that it hangs out the sides of the to-go container. Hubby was in hog heaven! I chose the normal sized tacos and just as tasty! The Angus beef is tender and seasoned well. The salsa and aioli... homemade and delicious. Spicy, but not overwhelming. The addition of ranch doritos added great texture/crunch and flavor. Definitely recommend and tacos are always on the menu! Chipotle Finger Lickin Chicken: So each week tends to feature a different finger lickin chicken variation. The chicken tenders are not pre-fab and frozen. No you are getting 4 thin chicken breasts here. Freshly breaded. And let me tell you the chipotle aioli... oh my word... it's sweet and a straight up party in my mouth. Not much heat but that is when the hot cheetos come in and add the perfect amount of heat and flavor. Only issue with the cheetos is they were either stale or they take on a very hard to chew texture once in a closed to-go container for 30 minutes. But I still found myself gnawing on one just because the flavor it added was worth it. Lol! Definitely at least 2 pounds of food. The container was so heavy and you could easily get 2 meals out of this entree if you can stop yourself. Pulled Pork Sandwich: I tried a bite of this and it was delicious! Great smoke flavor and bbq sauce was awesome. BBQ chips added great texture in and pickles... be still my heart and my ridiculous love of pickles. I almost wish I had ordered this for myself. Hopefully next time it finds it's way on the menu it shall me mine! Dusty Garlic Fries: I saved the best for last! Special seasoning that can be purchased to add to your spice collection. These fries are addictive and go great with everything. Can't wait to try the offering with the taco toppings on the fries. I can imagine they will be amazing. Chef Ender's menu changes weekly with the consistent offering of tacos and fries. There is a salad option and they sound wonderful, so we hope to try them soon. It is amazing to have such high quality and fresh food available in Madison County!

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. Unfortunately, they don't offer jumbo crabs--they sell them as #1 or #2. We ordered two dozen #1s, and on this visit they were small to medium at best. They were still tasty for what was available, just not what we were hoping for. The view was beautiful, and I imagine it's even better around sunset or at night. Overall, it's not a bad spot to stop for seafood if you're already in the area, especially if you're looking for a nice waterfront atmosphere.

I went to Tim's at Lake Anna's on Good Friday. The service…read morewas "ok". Our server was very friendly however the wait time was kind of long and when we came it wasn't that crowded. I ordered the oysters casino, they weren't that good, they were lukewarm. For my main meal I got the stuffed flounder and that had no taste whatsoever the crab was burnt, my side was corn (which they forgot to bring) the corn tasted like they just poured it straight from the can. My daughter's meal had a long strand of hair on top, it was baked into her meal. Another person in our party sent her food back twice, the first time it had hair on top (second time with hair in the food) and then after she was almost finished with her meal there were bugs on the bottom of her plate. Overall experience for my first time dining here kind of sucked.. not gonna lie. I don't recommend this place. Happy Easter !!
