I liked Southern Craft. The staff are excellent. The BBQ was outstanding. I have nothing bad to…read moresay about it. Enjoy

Bristol, Va. We checked into the adjoining Sessions Hotel…read moreand decided to have dinner here, why not? It is close and everyone working there was extraordinary friendly. Our waiter was really cool with his Southern Hospitality and acquired accent (Not From the South, but Accents Can be Contagious). We ordered our food and it came out quickly. Right away I saw that the ribs were charred. I ordered a whole rack as I am able to eat that many when the ribs are moist and tender. Unfortunately, the char was not limited to the glaze like some styles I've had. These baby backs were burnt well into the meat and the carbon was difficult to avoid. This also contributed to a very dry meat. It's a shame because the meat around the bones was quite tender and fall off the bone consistency. I find it hard to believe the pit master was even in the kitchen. Ribs are typically a signature dish in BBQ, and any one with pride in their profession would not allow these ribs to be served. How many times have these ribs be reheated under a flame or heat lamp anyway? Burnt Ends (The Actual Name of the Dish): These are actually pretty good, the flavor kind of hints at a wine sauce. They are way too dry to get through the entire serving though. Fried Green Tomatoes: not bad, just basic. Red Skin Potato Salad: Good, not anything special. Sweet Potato Soufflé: Very tasty, I did eat all of this. Pork Belly Collard Greens: The first few bites were interesting, but absolutely no empirical evidence by taste of pork belly. I soon tired of the vinegar and abandoned the dish. Tomato & Cucumber Salad: OK at first but too much vinegar. I boxed up my ribs thinking they may be salvageable for dinner the next day. Nope. The microwave just dried them out further and also destroyed what was left of the "Burnt Ends". What finally made me certain I would never spend another dollar here was our waiter returned to our table to spread the Gospel. I respect another's right to believe in what ever religion or belief system they want. However, this is a place of business and you work here. It is not the time or place to be proselytizing to a captive audience of customers. I had thought Southern Craft would be our go to place for breakfast, lunch or dinner during our week in Bristol, but I never set foot inside again.

As we wend our way to Florida, we spend the night in Bristol for one main reason. This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

Ate here 2 weeks ago. Sat at the bar like we always do, ordered some drinks and our meals…read more I decided to try the fried scallops and fried shrimp with baked potato. When my meal arrived I tried a scallop and it was awful. Cut another one in half and tried it...still terrible. Ate a few of the fried shrimp which were lukewarm warm at best and decided...wow, this meal sucks. The potato was fair. A server came and asked if I was done and I said yes...it wasn't very good at all and he could certainly see that I didn't even eat a 1/4 of my food. When my partner was done with his meal, which he enjoyed, the female bartender took his plate away and I said his meal was good, mine was awful. Both of the workers that I spoke with about my meal couldn't care less. I suppose it was my fault for not asking for a manager, but as someone who has worked in restaurants, one of the employees should have done something...anything to show they cared and tried to make things right. Left a $7 tip on a $70 bill (which was generous, considering my bad meal) This place has been hit or miss and this night was a huge MISS. Definitely won't ever come back to this location. We will drive the extra 20 minutes and go to the Abingdon location. Never had a bad meal there and the service has always been top notch.

I was in town for work and had about an hour to kill before meeting the guys for dinner so I…read moredecided to stop in here for a couple of beers. The appearance is on par with most other BWW locations, large space with ample seating and an abundance of TV's lining the walls. The bar area was toward the back of the space, and looked like it seated around 20 people. The place was dead, even for a Tuesday evening, probably only around 5-8 other customers in the whole place. As a comparison the Texas Roadhouse across the parking lot was packed. The bartender was pleasant and attentive, and checked on me often. I did not order food on this visit, but BWW is usually pretty consistent on food quality from one location to the next. I did have a couple of beers; the Yee Haw Dunkel, and the Devils Backbone Vienna Lager. Both beers seemed fresh with no apparent off flavors from dirty tap lines. The tap list seemed a bit uninspired, but it is a BWW not a craft beer bar. After reading through some of the other recent reviews I can see why the place was so dead, there seems to have been some negative experiences over the last 1-2 years. Fortunately I didn't experience any of these issues during my visit.

Skip this place and goto the roadhouse. Stopped eating at Hooters as their wings went downhill…read moreyears ago. Welp, BB is on their way to the no go restaurants for me. 2nd time: under sauced, overcooked, cold wings brought to the table. Couldn't even put a fork thru two of the wings . Even the sign on the wall says Saucey- its a lie. The waitress excuse was she didnt know what was going on in the kitchen. With the fights on, I would have gladly sat and drank beer with my wingsz. But poor service and food made me opt out .
