The best BBQ in the area!…read more One walks into this restaurant with a "Where have you been all my life?!" feeling and leave there feeling like they have experienced a phenomenon of culinary bliss! This restaurant does NOT disappoint! We really enjoyed our experience at this relaxed restaurant. Rebecca, our server, did an excellent job anticipating our needs and flawlessly ensured our order was correct. She was awesome! Food is UNBELIEVABLY EXCELLENT! The brisket and pulled pork was perfectly done! The potato salad and banana pudding were great. My son had the half-rack of ribs and the portion they brought out looked like a whole rack. We've never seen our son eat ribs so quickly - he devoured them in what was likely a record time, and if you knew this kid - he doesn't get in a hurry for anything...but had we reached over his plate we would likely be missing fingers... lol The brisket was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. My wife enjoyed the chicken and brisket. The collard greens were perfectly done. The sauces were great! Banana pudding was the best you can get aside from having homemade. We live about 40 minutes from this restaurant and in another county - but we will now be regular fixtures at this restaurant. They are definitely the G.O.A.T. in a 4 county area! Do give them a try!

My girlfriend highly recommended Cook Out, which I never had before as we don't have them in the area I live in MD or even in northern VA as far as I know. Her parents have a home by Smith Mountain Lake. We were down there the week of 4th of July 2024. On the last day, we drove to the Cook Out for lunch so that I could try it. Wow, I was impressed with both the inexpensive prices & good quality burger! This was almost on par with In & Out Burger in terms of the taste, another burger place we sadly DON'T have in my home state, Maryland. The menu is a la carte even to the ingredients on the burger, like lettuce was extra. It took some getting used to, but I kind of liked in that I wasn't paying for stuff I might not have cared for much. Staff was cordial and helpful with my couple of questions. My g/f & I split the 12-piece hash puppies and sweet tea. Hush puppies were delicious and not a normal thing I get in MD due to not many places having it. At fast food burgers I've had in MD, typically fries are the standard side item; so I liked having the hush puppies option. Overall, my experience was excellent with the Rocky Mount Cook Out. Unfortunately, the 3 other locations I went to after (one of which I didn't eat at because they didn't have an open dining room, was pouring rain outside, and didn't want to eat in the car like animals) weren't as good, but I'd definitely try to return to the Rocky Mount, VA location.

Our food came out and we noticed the fried food looked dark, I took a bite of the BLT and the bacon crumbled and fell to the plate in pieces. It was very crispy like bacon bits. The onion rings were over cooked as well. The French fries were good. I don't know if they deep fried the bacon or what but it was not edible as you would expect on a BLT. The food overall had decent taste but the bacon was just too burnt. The pickle was soft and warm.

I first had Bojangles in the Fredericksburg area and thought it was excellent. I went to ones in Prince George's County, MD as well as Union Station DC, areas closest to where I lived. All the MD & DC closed in late 2023. I remember liking the New Carrollton, MD location often when I had work travel pre-Covid. I went one time in early 2023 on work travel over there, and I was underwhelmed with that location. Although the food was great, they were as slow as molasses and was kind of dirty in there; not the experiences I had in the past. Although they had their issues, I was disappointed when I saw they had closed. So, when in Rome, I wanted to make to Bojangles on SML trip. Fast food is limited in the area. It's Bojangles & Wendy's, which is weak, and I live within 5 miles of a Wendy's, so I wanted to get something I can't get at home. I was very impressed with how friendly, fast, & tasty the food was on both visits here. I also was very impressed how clean it was in this location unlike the former MD locations. They also had American flags up for week of 4th of July, which was nice. This location was better than any of the MD locations I went to, DC, Fredericksburg, & one in North Carolina. Both times I got the chicken tender platter, which is tenders, fries (well seasoned), & biscuit; all delicious with Bo Sauce along with sweet tea, a nice Southern delicacy freshly brewed here. Next time at SML, I'll try to make it back to Bojangles.
