We stopped in twice during our stay ..there were a number of items unavailable (some of the sides) but I was more than happy with the choice of Brisket & Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus - ordered the same both times! The Mac & Cheese was good, too! No dine-in, but there are a few picnic tables to sit and enjoy. Prices were a tad higher than expected, but it sure was tasty - smoker is right outside! If I'm in the area again - I'll be there again! PS - had some great sauces, too!

Tucked away in the heart of Pembroke, Virginia, Bluegrass BBQ delivers everything you'd hope for…read morefrom a true small-town gem. 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

When we arrived there was a woman outside absolutely in love with all the different stuff they had and helped point us in the right direction on what to get. A man named Marshall was behind the counter and gave us a sample of his DELIGHTFUL pulled pork. When I say good, that's an understatement. The pork was expertly cooked and smoked. The sauce was perfect, and they had everything a BBQ place should. We all polished off our meals and even went back for the homemade banana pudding. Can't recommend this place enough.

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!

We arrived at Ridge View BBQ right at noon and the place was packed. The line moved quickly and there was plenty of seating despite the busy time. My wife order the pork platter which included a pulled pork sandwich and choice of two sides. (Mac and cheese and baked beans which she got for me). I order a simple pulled pork sandwich. The pork at Ridge View was pretty good but different from most bbq pork we've ordered. Here the pork is cooked or simmered with a house sauce already added and served that way. The result was a moister than usual but very tasty pork sandwich. We both agreed, different but not worse. The sides were very good. Staff was overly friendly (sort of characteristic in West Virginia-people are super nice) and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely come back.
