Stopped at Southern Craft Barbecue while passing through VA and it's a hidden wonder not too far…read moreoff the interstate. Wasn't expecting much, but the food was fantastic. BBQ tends to blend together after a while, but theirs stood out, good flavor without being overpowering, something for everybody. I got the smoked turkey sandwich and the turkey was so tender and juicy I almost ordered a second one, even though the first was plenty filling. I'd be back here in a heartbeat if I'm ever down this direction again.

We went there a year ago and had a wonderful experience. The other day we went again and it was…read moredrastically different. We ordered burnt ends and brisket in the meat combo. The burnt ends were basically hard chunks of very dry pork bbq with some blackened spots but not crispy burnt ends in bite size chunks of good meat like last year. Also the brisket was very dry as well and the Cole slaw is quite bland. The grits were the bright spot as they were delicious. The server was super nice and attentive. For the price, it was not worth it. The meat should be much more tender and moist for $26. We will try other places before returning here again.

Amazing food, beautiful patio and great service. We stopped in two years ago and they actually…read moreremembered us. Brisket didn't need a knife. The vinegar sauce was great!

We shared a half-pound of brisket and half pound of pulled pork. The brisket may be the best we have had anywhere. Tender, moist, flavorful - Highly Recommended! And the pulled pork was exceptional too. Vinegar based slaw and the three-bean salad were perfect complements to the wonderful meats. Close by? Hungry for bbq? Stop here for sure!!

My sweetie…read morehad their famous mahi mahi street tacos, a messy delight, and I had the portobello panini sandwich, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and very tasty. To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me.

It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests…read morethey'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed
