My favorite pulled pork sandwich located right along the W&OD Washington & Old Dominion paved bicycle trail. Other tasty BBQ options too, homemade desserts, now offering beer. Dine in, eat outside at picnic tables, bicycle racks, or take some delicious BBQ to go. Lots of fun images and piggy collectibles to look at too.

Awesome place. I love the charm - feel like an old farm store, exactly my style for BBQ. Pulled pork was great. Beans and Mac were good, all decent portions. I'll be back.

Baked ribs.  not a smoke ring in sight.

I should have known when we pulled up and it did not smell like outdoor smoker or BBQ that we were in trouble. I have to believe that it is the trail walkers near by that keep this place open. Hubs ordered pulled pork sandwich. I will bet my entire paycheck that it was made in a crock pot. Not a bbq smoke flavor at all, Just sauce. I guess I'm confused as the sign said PIT BBQ. This was absolutely NOT PIT NOR BBQ. I ordered the ribs. These were definitely baked and finished on a griddle. The server even asked his coworker if he had grilled ribs. Ribs need to be slow cooked , smoked if it is BBQ. These were just a big NO. Zero smoke flavor not even charcoal flavor. Service was fine, but this is a one and done. We will go to black hog for delicious BBQ.

Pulled BBQ Beef Sandwich with Baked Beefs and Coleslaw

Amazing food and my bbq beef sandwich + 2 sides was $12! Can't beat the price and the portion. We came as a party of 4 and we all enjoyed the ambiance of a local restaurant with rustic wooden chairs/tables. I think everything is made in-house and we really appreciate the guy at the counter coming to check-in on us during our meal.

The WO&D adjacent to Carolina Brothers.

Things are back to normal after COVID restrictions and the barbecue is as good as ever. This is a must-do stop when riding on the Washington & Old Dominion Rail Trail. There are ample bike racks next to the outdoor eating area and a for-pay tire inflator. The pulled pork is excellent. It is tender, moist, flavorful and served on a Martin's Potato roll. The potato salad is outstanding.

Yummm love it! Pork BBQ Sandwich & Beef BBQ Sandwich

Was in the neighborhood and came across this butcher shop that serves food. I was so excited to try…read morethe homemade old bay chips and my chicken sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. I wanted to buy some items while there, but I was stuffed so I plan to come back soon. Next time I will try a pizza. The menu literally has something for everyone. The service is warm and efficient. I went on a weekend during lunch time so it was a bit quiet, but as soon as I sat down to eat the people rolled in to buy their meats and cheeses. Great atmosphere! I think I've found a winner;)

I wanted a few slabs of cow for Christmas dinner but I was procrastinating in ordering and shopping. A few days before my Christmas dinner I walked in and was greeted and served by an amazing staff member. She educated me on how to cook, what to buy and even gave me a small discount. The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products. Visit them, it's a fun shop and the staff is great.

Wine'ing Butcher - We had steak tips and pepperoni pizza called the Butchers Blend Pizza. It needed more meat but the flavor and crust were great taste.

About my preferences, after I said our budget, etc. it was so strange. It's fine to have a bubbly personality but this was off putting. Honestly one of the most unprofessional, ill informed customer client interactions. I felt like there were a lot of things not aligning for what I'd expect a professional caterer to know. She didn't even send a quote after our phone call. So while we wouldn't have gone with Zesty Gourmet anyway, the business doesn't seem to care much for clients anyway. I'm not going to remind a company that I want to pay thousands of dollars to them. Honestly just an entirely confusing, strange, and off putting experience end-to-end.
