They even landed a spot on Channel 13's Friday Flavor segment years back. Let's see how the food turned out. There was a decent crowd inside when we walked inside. The decor was nice and clean. Again, the restaurant's been around for years, but it's definitely well kept. Just like other BBQ spots, you have to order up front. On the right, the menu's on the board to choose from. It took us minutes to select our respective meals, but at the end of the day, we were ready. For my order, I selected a dinner size plate of beef brisket with a side of fried pickles. All was quite delicious. The brisket was cooked perfectly and went well with both BBQ sauces from Scoot's. And I liked their fried pickles were actually small spears. Fried and not too much sodium. Sophia ordered a brisket sandwich with fried pickles and enjoyed her selection. A very good first time for the both of us. This won't be the last time we'll be here. Till next time :)

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Several times when we've been to Country Grill, Yorktown, managers have stopped by the table to…read morecheck how things were, tonight that didn't happen. If they had they would have heard about missing beer menus, dirty/greasy salt grinders, dead flies littering the window sills next to the tables, slow and disinterested service and a seeming lack of interest of the staff in anything but chatting with each other. County Grill in Yorktown has always been one of our go-to restaurants but unfortunately is fell very short today. We got in early, before the afternoon rush, around 3:45 pm. We were seated quickly in a booth along the front windows and our waitress came over and got us started with cornbread muffins and took our drink order. I did ask for the paper beer list that they always have due to their extensive taps but none were available, a first for me. Neither our waitress or the hostess could explain why they didn't have the normal beer list. I ordered a beer and when asked if I also wanted water like my wife, I said yes. My wife's water showed up almost immediately, mine must have been forgotten but thankfully my beer showed up a short time later. We ordered our dinner, a brisket platter with coleslaw and baked beans and my wife ordered pulled pork. We were one of only two tables in the entire main dining room when we ordered and throughout our meal but waited a surprisingly long time for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, the food looked, smelled and tasted great. The brisket I received was from the tail end of the brisket and was very thin compared to slices from the other end of the brisket I've usually received. I still received the same exact number of smaller slices I usually receive from the bigger end. Not all brisket slices are created equal and today's fell short. My wife used the salt grinder on the table and it was dirty and greasy to the point she had to excuse herself to go wash her hands. While she was gone I noticed the collection of dead flies on the window sill along our booth. Things were just dirty, makes you wonder about cleanliness in areas you can't see as a customer. Although there were a lot of staff in the kitchen and in front of the kitchen none seemed interested in anything but chatting with each other. The exception to that would be our waitress who was very interested in talking to the one other occupied table in the dining room. We had finished dinner and were waiting to pay our bill and get a to-go box for some of the coleslaw. Our waitress was deeply involved in a conversation with the other table and we waited an extended period of time. The multitude of other servers in front of the kitchen had no interest in breaking free to see if we needed anything. Finally our waitress made it back over to our table with the electronic payment machine out, handed it off to me and headed off to find a to-go container, even that seemed to take longer than it should have. Maybe Q-Daddy's is worth a try, maybe they still care and want to prove they want your business and not just ride on prior reputation.

This is another one of those Williamsburg gems that is totally worth visiting if you're a BBQ type person. The prices are reasonable-ish for the food type and service has always been outstanding for us. Between the decent beer selection, craft drinks and great bbq, this is another (one of the many) food places that are a must-visit to Williamsburg! Regarding parking, make sure you park in the back area. GPS always seems to want to put you in the front where there isn't a lot of parking available.

Before putting the South Carolina mustard sauce on my pulled chicken sandwich, they even had me taste it first to make sure I liked it. I did--and the sandwich was delicious. The basket came with fries and was a winner. We also tried the pulled pork sandwich, which had a really nice bit of spice, and the pork rib platter with candied yams and onion rings, served over rice with a biscuit. We liked all of it. Friendly people, generous food, and really good BBQ. This is exactly the kind of unassuming local spot I'm happy to find while traveling. Would definitely return.

I found this place in yelp and wanted to give it a try. It's in a small strip mall and at first we were afraid they weren't there anymore because there isn't a marquee sign above the restaurant but there is a large smoker truck that looks like it's used for catering that helped us find it. The parking lot was full which blocked the signage on the doors/windows. The inside has a few small tables and a counter to the right to order from with the kitchen behind. There was a few chairs across from the counter to wait for to go orders. You choose your own table after ordering. The owner was personable and chatting an older gentleman that had been there awhile. We later realized he was the owner when he came out to see how our food was. The ribs fell off the bone and the baked beans had ground beef and some peppers. They were delicious and had such good flavor. Rolls were served with the meals. The portions were large and we took home our leftovers. I was a little surprised that our food was served in to go containers even though we asked to dine in. You pick up your own plasticware at the counter where you pick up your order. While it's not a typical sit down place with table service or bar drinks, the food was really good and hot. We'll definitely go again. Also love that it's veteran owned and he's present and cares about the service provided. It was also evident he cares about his staff as we overheard them discussing one of the kids preparing for high school graduation.

My selection was a combo plate of moist beef brisket and sausage with fries and a drink and some of their sauces. Everything was cooked well and I got full halfway.

I came to Williamsburg looking for a GOOD steak... and somehow ended up at a smokehouse--and I'm…read moreactually glad I did! Rocco's Smokehouse kept popping up when we searched for places to eat, so we decided to give it a shot. We weren't really in the mood for barbecue, and they only had ONE steak option, but the menu looked so interesting that we figured, why not? There was about a 15-20 minute wait, which immediately had me thinking, "Okayyy, maybe we made the right choice!" The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and had a great vibe. IMPORTANT: Navigation took us to the wrong location, so pay close attention to the Yelp directions. Rocco's is currently operating from a temporary location. Once we were seated, our waiter was right over to take our drink order. First things first--the sweet tea is MAGNIFICENT! And let me tell you what you NEED to order: Smoked barbecue wings -- MUST ORDER -- absolutely get it! Rocco actually brought it to our table and warned us that we would be hooked and he was right! I originally wanted the lump crab cakes, but I didn't see anyone else ordering them, so I took my waiter's recommendation and went with the brisket quesadillas. GREAT decision! They were juicy, flavorful, and downright scrumptious. My partner ordered Platter #3, which came with ribs, a quarter chicken, and pork barbecue. The chicken was his favorite--he could not stop talking about it! You could really taste that smoky flavor in the meat. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good too. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by Rocco's. We went in craving steak and left talking about smoked wings, chicken, brisket, and barbecue! Would I go back? Absolutely! And next time, those crab cakes are getting ordered! #WilliamsburgVA #WilliamsburgEats #VirginiaFoodie #RoccosSmokehouse #Foodie #YelpEats #BBQ #FoodReview #VirginiaRestaurants
