Very nostalgic vibe, staff was friendly and helpful in navigating the large menu. Initially, we wanted a club (they have several to choose from but I asked the cashier if he had to choose between that and a steak and cheese he opted for the sub. The 12 inch large combo was about $20 (cash discount) to include fries and a large limeade. This spot is popular so there was a wait but they moved the orders along in a reasonable amount of time. The sub was a bit thin as the meat is sliced vs chopped, I wasn't a fan of the seasoning they used and it was just warm when I got back to mom's house (which isn't that far) but the bread itself was really good and fresh (2.9/5), their fries served piping hot and seasoned well (5/5) and I'm so glad the cashier hyped up the limeade as it was just as good as Bill's barbecue back in the day (yup I'm telling my age but iykyk), perfectly sweet and tart served with that good hospital ice, lol (10/5). I definitely want that limeade again so I'll be back!

Craving BBQ? Backwoodz is your place! The brisket with the fat cap on is AMAZING! So flavorful!…read moreCame in super hungry after a long travel day, and that first bite was heavenly. No sauce needed! Another standout was the cucumber & tomato salad which had just the right amount of vinegar. The green beans and the cabbage were tasty, but just a tad too salty for me. I can't fault them, as I rarely use salt, it's likely my palette that is off. The pulled pork was excellent, but needed sauce. Alas I cannot have sweet sauces. I then got the idea to combine the pork with the cabbage and found it similar to the experience of eating luau pork with poi. Better together! I added the leftover vinegar dressing from the C&T salad to the green beans and found that also was a hit. The desserts were very tempting, but I opted instead to order enough brisket and pulled pork for the weekend. It's proven to be very filling!! I also can't say enough about the staff. So genuinely welcoming, helpful, friendly, and clearly proud of their product (as they should be!). Put a smile on my face and will look forward to returning on future trips to Richmond!

We ordered the brisket dinner and the pulled pork dinner. Both meats were very dry and you barely got any BBQ sauce to go along with it. The fries were probably the best side. The baked beans had an interesting flavor, not one that we preferred. The Mac n cheese was fine, but nothing much there. The coleslaw was decent. I think those giving this place 5 stars don't really have much to compare it to. I guess all of my days in Austin, TX ruined me! Probably wouldn't recommend but, if you're looking for standard BBQ, then it may be your thing.

Amazing, we loved our vegan sandwiches at Union Market!…read more It's a groovy spot with outdoor seating on a patio (mostly/partially shaded) and indoor bar/eating area. They also have a little grocery section with a good selection of wine, beer, chocolates, and other basics. They also have a good variety of menu of options that can cater to plant-based folks like us - we opted for the vegan TLT and vegan mushroom philly and both delicious! The flavor profiles were pretty on point, but the sandwich bread really stood out - they had just the right crunch-to-soft ratio The staff are also lovely - they helped me pick from the options and were very knowledgeable about the menu - good vibes all around and definitely worth stopping by if you want to enjoy a casual meal with great food and drinks.

Upon arrival, it was quite busy but the location still had plenty of seating. When we were seated, we noticed it was only one waitress waiting tables too. She was able to get us our drinks and orders pretty quickly despite working solo. I was the adventurous one in our group and ordered the pb and j cheese burger. Upon initial bite, it really tasted like a really well constructed burger. It was a double patty burger with white cheese. You don't really taste the jam. As you're chewing, the peanut butter comes out and it really makes the bite more creamy and definitely tastes of peanut butter. Overall, I would recommend fat boys for sure. Everyone thought the food tasted great and the portions were big. Definitely worth the trip!

From the garlic crust on the chicken, to the large cut of chicken breast, to the Caesar dressing, everything just went together. Our only complaint is the bread was a little tough/almost too thick. But it was still delicious and we gave it a 8/10 and 7.8/10, respectively. I personally was not a fan of the fig and pig because of the Gorgonzola cheese sauce - it's very strong and I didn't realize Gorgonzola is reminiscent of blue cheese. But my husband liked this one and gave it a 7/10. We also felt everything was reasonably priced, it came to about $37 for two subs and two bags of chips. We'll definitely be back to try more subs!

I had been wanting to try Fat Kid Sandwiches for a long while -- from back when they would do…read morepop-ups at Veil -- but the timing had never worked out. Earlier in the month, I was finally able to check them out for the first time. I had my eye on their Italian hoagie, which is listed under the Cold section, but I know better at this point in time of living in the South and the many Italian hoagies that I have had to refrigerate. So I ordered it without the tomato or peppers and served cold. I ordered it through the bartender, who told me that they do serve them cold and that they were out of peppers that day. Turns out they were not out of peppers and they did not serve it cold. I can't eat peppers due to food sensitivities, so I sent it back and asked for it to be re-made. This was the bartender's mistake, from the receipt I could see that he didn't send those notes to Fat Kid, to be clear. The second rendition was made correctly, and it was definitely tasty, but they are overpriced. It's pretty obvious from my picture that this wasn't some hefty, super stuffed and loaded with meats/cheese hoagie. It looks like a normal 6" hoagie. Not worth $11 for it, in my opinion. I'd rather spend $16 at Stanley's or $10 for a full-size at Mr. Submarine.

I am kind and generous in my critique and try to maintain a professional decorum. With that said, I ordered four pieces of Whiting, sweet potato fries, green beans, and three chicken thighs. All of it was garbage!!! I expected four normal-sized pieces of fish, but instead, I received cut-bite-sized fish. The grease that was used to fry this fish was not fresh. My chicken thighs looked and tasted like they had been cooked some days ago. I received approximately 11 fries, and the green beans came straight out of the can with no seasoning. I understand that we live in trying times, but this is ridiculous. Usually, I would give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but I can honestly say this is a one-and-done for me.

Not the best area but the food is INCREDIBLE. From the Nashville sliders to the shrimp Po boy and the fish. It was all so good. The service was fast even though they were super busy. It also looks like they get a lot of to go orders. I started off with the fish and shrimp platter. I'm not sure what that's called but the fish was fresh, fried to perfection. Shrimp was also really good, pairs well with tar tar sauce. The shrimp Po boy was my favorite. The sauce on it was SO GOOD, the bread was incredibly fresh. 20/10 for the Po boy. The manage habanero shrimp was super spicy but so good. The fried oysters was a unique menu item. Good as well. The sliders, we customized and got one hot honey and one Nashville hot. Both delicious. Also come with fries and I love a good fry. The wacky whiting sandwich was a fun and delicious item as well. Perfect for fish lovers that are looking for something more. The loaded Mac and cheese was so good as well. Lastly we had the funnel fries and it was a unique touch and was so good! The decor is cute but I don't love that it's attached to the gas station. Overall, the food was extremely good and definitely recommend if you are in the area.
