    Brisket side $15 1/2 lb
    Bernard C.

    Sorry about this post bro' but that 1/2 lb of brisket was THE WORST brisket I've ever had. During my travels, I've had some really bad brisket and some really good brisket -with some of the best right in Richmond VA, but this takes the cake right here. It had a smoke flavor but was, tough to chew, no seasoning and no defined smoke ring. Thank heavens for the smoked wings which barely provided the 2 stars. Service was great but that brisket was awful.

    The brisket was tender and the mac and cheese was flavorful. The apple cobbler cheesecake was also smooth and not too sweet.

    Fried smoky goodness

    This place is a hidden gem . This was my first time in here, so I had to try their fried smoked wings & Mac & cheese . They were top-tier. Probably some of the best wings I've ever had. Loaded with flavor and you could taste all that smoky goodness coming through. I didn't even dip it any sauce cause I wanted to appreciate the man back there on the smoker and he did his thing. I also ordered up a half pound of brisket because I wasn't leaving without trying the brisket. When I opened up the container, it had beautiful perfect color smelled incredible and as I'm picking it up, you could just feel its tenderness it actually started to fall apart a little bit. Perfection. As I was sitting there waiting for my food, I was just sitting there talking to a couple of different people and everybody was really cool . The whole vibe in Backwoodz was good food and great people . I'll be back . 10/10

    You know, when the locals rave about a spot, it is a winner. A++++++ I stopped by at lunch, on a rainy day. About half full, the service was excellent. The wings are 10. Not pink inside. While I realize that pink inside is a sign of the slow smoking process, my preference is a dark white shade. Just me. Meat separation from bone is excellent. Snappy crisp skin. Brisket is a solid 7. Only because I am picky. I order "fatty cut". They had a hard time processing my order. I did not get fully fatty cut, but on the other side, I did not get dry brisket. The brisket had a good smoke flavor, excellent bark. I was digging the rub..... Again, I just prefer a fattier cut..... I spoke with the owner, good dude. We talked for about 30 minutes about smoking in the Carolinas and his process. Overall, I will be back. Good job!!!!

    From the minute you walk in, you can smell it. And you just know, it's gonna be GOOD! Get greeted by name, get a hug from the owner when he's got a second, chat with the counter staff while you plan out what fabulousness you're taking home. I've never had a bad meal here at Backwoodz. The selection is amazing, the portions are great, and it's priced just right. Add in the atmosphere, live music from time to time, and just look at those desserts on the counter! It's a wonderful place for some of the best BBQ I've eaten! Do yourself a big favor & try this restaurant. Show them some love. I can tell you that everything they serve is made with love, and that's a fact! They have something on the menu for everyone, and catering, too!

    Awesomeness totally ..!!!…read more People have good service grapefruit a great Keylime pie I give this whole menu 100% thank you for your time and availability and your service

    Celiac- Gluten-free Review…read more I was hype to try Oak & Apple because they have wings, howeverrrr they do not have a dedicated fryer- the wings are smoked and then typically deep fried. I was told that they could grill them for me. I was set to order 10 wings, but was wary of how the texture would be if they were grilled so scaled down to 5. The texture of the skin on the outside was rubbery as I anticipated, but, if this makes sense, I could tell that if they had been fried they would have been A1. The overall flavor and the texture beyond the skin was so good. Wouldn't order them again, but if you can have the wings fried, I say that's a solid choice. Thanks for accommodating me anyhow, I do appreciate the effort. I also got a side of the tea braised collards, which surprised me. Have never had collards prepared that way and I did enjoy the flavor. They were also very clean, and if you've ever had collards that haven't been washed properly, you know how off-putting it is to catch stray pieces of dirt in your teeth. What really fell flat for me were the BBQ nachos. Queso, pulled pork, burnt end beans...couldn't tell where one flavor started and the next one ended. Overall very bland, which was disappointing because it just felt so uninspired. Was expecting more smoke, especially from the burnt end baked beans. And if I'm not getting excited about flavor from your pulled pork or burnt end beans, I'm going to assume that it's going to be the same for the brisket, chicken, and ribs. What stands out for me here- if you're into cider, they've got really good choices on tap, and rotate about ten different types. That's unheard of just about anywhere. I also experienced nothing short of top-tier service, and the people who work the bar are friendly and personable. It's really easy to chat with other patrons seated at the bar as well, I felt like a regular and could have sat there for hours. Even the regulars coming in to grab to-go orders struck up conversations while they were waiting. It feels like a third place with its chill atmosphere and easy vibes. Even with the food not being my favorite, I could easily see myself sliding into a spot at the bar regularly just to hang out and have a few drinks. Also do appreciate the inclusion of gluten-free/gluten-free options, even if I'm not a huge fan. So this is a solid 3.5 stars for me- rounded down since Yelp won't let us do half stars.

Due to COVID, the place had tables and chairs for inside dining, but they were stacked to the side and they only offered pickup orders. We ordered the fish and shrimp platter, which came with fries or coleslaw. We got the fries. We were a few minutes short of the lunch special, where you could get the the same thing, for 3 dollars cheaper (we paid 9 and some change), but with smaller portions. The kitchen is located near the front register and you can watch while your food is being prepared. The menu is, of course, heavy with seafood options in addition to steamed crabs and crabmeat for sale. The fish was thin and fried perfect and crispy. The shrimp as well. Fries were golden and good as well. All in all, a good place to grab a quick bite of seafood when in the area.

People were up dancing and having a genuinely good time, which made the whole experience even better. My friend ordered the wings and loved them. I had the cod, and it was absolutely delicious. The batter wasn't too heavy and stayed nice and crispy. The cod itself was thick and tasted fresh, like real fish. The fries were A1. My only callout with my dish was the tartar sauce. It had more of a sweet, Miracle Whip-type taste that was a little off-putting for me. It may not be that way for you. My next callout would be the timeframe in which our server got to us. I will say that there had seemed to be some confusion about assigned sections but once he got there, he was a rockstar. Suggestion: switch the lettuce that's underneath the fish with cabbage. It's holds up much better and helps with presentation as well. Their tea and lemonade mix was so good I ended up getting two cups and even took one to go. I will add that I once ordered the firecracker shrimp through DoorDash, and while I could tell it's probably great in the restaurant, it didn't travel well as takeout. Overall, I will definitely visit again.
