Hunter was a gem to work with right off the bat. He was responsive, professional and patient. He showed up on time and got straight to work. During cocktail hour I went to get my daughter and son-in-law food. Hunter saw me standing in line and immediately asked us what we needed for them. How many plates and then walked with me back to them. He checked on us to make sure we had drinks and if we needed more food. The staff, which was all family, were so courteous and friendly. They bussed the reception and made sure people were happy and they put away our china and glasses with utmost care. My mother-in-law is elderly and doesn't eat much. When he saw the food left on her plate he asked her if she wanted to take it home; he then boxed it up for her and made sure she got what she needed. I cannot praise them enough. We recommended them to everyone at the party and will be using them for our 25th anniversary party next year. We love the people at Southern Smoke and look forward to working with them again. I would highly recommend again and again.

More than that, they get a bad review because the owner couldn't be bothered to even call us back. We let them know that we got food poisoning and we know it was from their restaurant because we ate the same things (but nothing else from earlier in the day) and had the same symptoms. They took down our information and said that the owner would get back to us, but the owner never did. So clearly they do not care if customers pay money to get so violently ill that they have to go to urgent care.

I ended up ordering the fish plate (whiting), with mac and cheese and green beans. I took a spot and it was a short wait. The food came out hot and fresh. The were two large pieces of whiting. The mac and cheese was delightful and good flavor with the green beans. Plates come with 2 honey butter biscuits. They were more dessert like, think doughnuts, offering an unexpected treat. The person working that day was really kind, checking in and helpful to others who came in. Definitely give it a try.

I ate half of it and half of the delicious potato salad. It also came with hush puppies, which were just ok - a little doughy for me. My husband got vinegar based pulled pork and baked beans and he thought they worked well together. I prefer the KC bbq sauce to the other options, the tomato bbq sauce tasted more like a sweet weak salsa to me and I personally don't care for vinegar. I think I'd probably order the same thing again next time, though I was a little curious about the burgers (which come either as double 2oz smash burgers or a 5 oz regular burger for a small upcharge.) They also have lots of desserts that sound good but we didn't try any this trip. They have Cheerwine!

From the perfectly seasoned fried fish to the smoky, flavorful jerk pulled chicken, every bite tasted like it was made with pride. And then came the surprise star of the meal--the hush puppies. Crispy and golden on the outside, warm, soft, and pure comfort on the inside. What truly made this experience unforgettable was Albert, better known as "Vinny de Vincent." His passion for cooking is contagious. As he shared the story behind his recipes, his cooking process, and his vision of serving both his community and the world, it became clear that this is more than a restaurant--it's a story of second chances, reinvention, and purpose served on a plate. His hospitality made us feel like family the moment we walked through the door. If you're looking for authentic Southern flavor, genuine hometown hospitality, and a meal prepared with heart, Bluegrass BBQ earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 from me. This is the kind of place that reminds you why small-town America still has some of the best food--and the biggest hearts. #BluegrassBBQ #PembrokeVirginia #SouthernCooking #SmallTownHospitality #CulinaryGoodness
