Sauces left out, details missed, and today they sent us home with three quarts of unfinished coleslaw. Literally no dressing, mayo, spices, nothing but chopped cabbage and carrots in the containers. Seriously folks, please up the attention to detail. If I have to finish the coleslaw at home it really detracts from the customer experience. You make really good food when the staff pays attention to completing the preparation and following through on the order.

The brisket was smoked nicely I'd prefer it to been a little more seasoned but it was made up with the bbq sauce. Staff and service were really good and the interior had a nice vibe to it. I was happy with my experience here, especially it being in a small area! Food(50%): 7.8 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.8/10

Service was quick and friendly. I ordered 2 lbs of pulled pork and 2 small containers of their hot bbq sauce. The pork was amazing. And the hot bbq sauce is legit. They had a variety of sides but I stuck with the pork. If you are ever near this place, it is worth it to stop in. You will be very glad you did. Highly recommend!!

Went to Vision BBQ for pre-concert dinner (show was at Ting Pavilion). Walked in on a Sunday…read moreafternoon about 5. Very slow, business wise. Server (Brianna) started out good, fairly attentive until I got my food. After I got my food I got one cursory "all good?" and that was it until I got the bill. Anyway, on to the food: ordered two meat plate (brisket and pulled pork) with fries and coles slaw. Fries were the highlight of the meal. Hot, crispy, seasoned...awesome. Cole slaw was good....but it was super tangy (vinegary) for my taste. Don't get it wrong, it was good, just hard to eat all of it thanks to the tang. On to the meat. Got a pretty good sized pile of pulled pork and a couple slices of brisket. Both meats were lukewarm at best. Pork was dry (thank goodness for the NC vinegar sauce). The brisket made up for the porks dryness, it was extra greasy and extra fatty. Like, for real, do you think people are going to eat the fat layer between the lean point meat and the fatty upper meat? Yeah, not me. But since the brisket was also lukewarm (more like lukecold) it really didn't make a difference. I did think the Vision BBQ sauce tasted pretty good. If Brianna would have come back by after I got my meal I would have sent it back....and probably would have just left without worrying over a replacement, or a comp, or anything. Secondary issue: went to the mens room. It was just nasty. You get once shot to make an impression, and this one was not good. Would not/will not repeat.

The food was Very Good each time I was there. All my friends from this area (I was born and raised…read morein Woodstock) really enjoy going there!!! Everything there has always been very clean and inviting. I worked as a waitress at the Springhouse and The Hotel Strasburg, totalling over 20 yeas, so I know what to look for.

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.

A Trump bumper sticker on the half wall and money behind the register with his face on it. Most businesses know better than to advertise politics but apparently not this one. Funnily enough, we went there after the No Kings protest. (I had won a gift card in a raffle). We won't be back. And many others won't be going there now either. I have to assume that's what the restaurant owners want. To be divisive, just like the idiot in the White House. Obviously, Eddie's will have their like-minded supporters. Which is fine. They just won't have business from me and mine. Having said all of this, I will also mention that the Cuban sandwich was excellent. It's just unfortunate that it was tainted by the Trump vibe.

The bartender greeted me and asked if I wanted the regular menu or was the lunch menu sufficient. I perused the lunch menu, which had several different options. Surprisingly, everything on that menu was half price! What a deal! I ordered the most expensive item, the catfish sandwich, which was only $10. Even though they were very busy, I got my sandwich within ten minutes. They call it a sandwich but there ain't no way I could eat it like a sandwich, even with my big mouth. The catfish came with onion, lettuce, tomato, and some kind of sauce on a toasted sub roll. It came with a knife. I cut off the first bite. It was .......... GREAT! Wow! I have always gotten BBQ or fish tacos before. Fantastic blending of flavors. It came with a choice of a side and I chose fries. The fries were barely alive. Good flavor but partially limp. That was the only negative. I wish I lived closer to Farmville. I would make them regular visits during the week. They keep teasing us about expanding to Madison Heights but no action yet.
