This place is apparently super popular with locals, but it unfortunately missed the mark for me…read more We were passing through and saw that this place had great reviews and almost everything else in the area is a chain. We stopped in and started reading the menu board and the lady at the counter just stared at us. We decided on what we wanted even though we had some questions about what was on the menu board. (What comes on a phriends burger? What are the tots loaded with?) My brother ordered a NC style pulled pork sandwich (Cole slaw and hot sauce) and some tater tots, and I ordered the potato salad and a chicken Philly. We both ordered a drink, and we ordered a pecan dessert to split, but when we had asked her what it was, she had no idea. Luckily, it was good and ended up being a pecan topped cinnamon roll. One of the reasons we know that this place caters to locals is because she didn't give us cups, they were sitting over by the drink machines, but she didn't tell us to grab them. So when my brother asked her for the cups, she gestures and tells him "they're over there." So as we ate, we realized that the locals know to grab their cups and coffee and then pay for it, we had no idea. We would have grabbed them had she told us to. I started with half of the Philly while my brother ate half of the pulled pork. I liked the Philly, he thought the pulled pork was just okay. We then tried the potato salad and it was completely inedible. It is probably the worst potato salad I have ever tried, and I unfortunately can't even place what we hated so much about it because neither one of us could stomach another bite. It looks beautiful, but it was very dry and sort of astringent. It was not pleasant. We then traded sandwiches and I didn't care for the pulled pork, so my little brother tried to finish it, but whatever flavor sticks with you from the potato salad then just ruined the taste of the pork, so he couldn't eat it anymore. The tater tots were FIRE though, so hot and crispy and perfect. Those were crazy good. The Philly was served in really thin parchment paper or something, so we did grab a paper towel to wrap the other half of the sandwich in when we left, and it ended up completely soaking through the paper towel and onto the car floor we had it on. Overall, the food ranged from okay to absolutely-not-okay, the service was "meh", and the price was a bit high for the quality of the food. There aren't a ton of options here and I could definitely see why people would swing here for a turkey sandwich before going hunting, rather than stopping at like dominos, but I almost wish we had just grabbed a sandwich at subway or food lion.

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.

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.

As someone who's been smoking brisket, pork butts, and ribs for 7+ years, I don't hand out BBQ…read morepraise lightly. I judge every spot against what I'm putting out at home... and a lot of places fall short -- whether it's weak seasoning, lack of smoke, or just flat-out underwhelming flavor. But Wild Waylon's BBQ? Yeah... this place is LEGIT. We went all in: pulled pork, brisket, and the big dino beef ribs -- plus mac and cheese, green beans, a bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper, and the jalapeño cornbread. Every single thing delivered. The brisket had great flavor and was cooked right, the pulled pork was juicy and well-seasoned, and those beef ribs... absolute showstopper. Big, meaty, packed with flavor, and done exactly how you'd want them. Sides were just as solid. The mac and cheese was rich and satisfying, green beans had great flavor, and that bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper + jalapeño cornbread combo? Yeah... ridiculous in the best way. And the smoke -- you can actually taste it. That alone separates them from a lot of spots. The whole experience was on point too. The big pit out front lets you know immediately they're serious about their craft, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful the entire time. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality you're getting. This is one of the few places I've been where I walk away thinking, "yeah... they're doing it right." If you're anywhere near Fredericksburg -- or even just passing through -- this spot is absolutely worth the stop.
