Fantastic meal and friendly family owned business. We had the brisket very tender and nice smoke taste to it. The Mac and cheese was some of the best I ever had. Do yourself a favor and eat here read more

We stopped by Pungo Boys BBQ on the way back to VB after Cullipher's and wanted to grab something for dinner. I forgot to get photos but I know we will go back so that I can add some later! I got the smoked turkey sandwich, pulled pork, and ribs. GET THE RIBS! Delicious! We went on a Thursday and it was fast service and a laid back atmosphere. Next time we visit I'll be sure to try a few other things and photograph it! read more

We stopped in for some BBQ and overall had a good experience. The restaurant was small but cute. The sides were definitely the highlight, each one had great flavor and tasted homemade. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the collard greens had that slow-cooked depth, the cole slaw was fresh and tangy, and the green beans were seasoned VERY well. For the meats, we tried the pulled pork, burnt ends, and chopped brisket. The brisket was tender and juicy with a nice smoky flavor, and the pulled pork had a good mix of bark and softer pieces. The burnt ends were saucy and rich. All the meats were good, but they could have used just a little more seasoning to really make them shine. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you love flavorful sides and hearty BBQ, this is a solid spot. With a touch more seasoning on the meats, it would easily be five stars. PS: My husband and I shared this platter which was supposed to be for one person. read more

Outstanding BBQ Experience! I had the pleasure of trying the kielbasa sausage, pulled pork, and brisket, and I was blown away! The pulled pork was hands-down the best I've ever had--perfectly moist and packed with flavor. The kielbasa sausage tasted natural and had that homemade touch, while the brisket, though on the leaner side, didn't skimp on flavor. To top it all off, they even offer pup cups, which is such a thoughtful touch for dog owners. Can't wait to come back! read more

There are so many reviews that drew me to suggest to my beau to drop by. The ambiance is friendly and cozy. There's enough seating for groups of people. Service was fast. Thought food needed more seasoning, 3 stars for sure. read more

The food is delicious!!! Service friendly and quick. Can't wait to try the brisket. I had pulled pork with house sauce. Perfect amount of heat. read more

First the good. Service was fast and extremely friendly. Great selection of proteins. Brisket had a nice bark and was tender. The bad. Although everything was tender, there was hardly any smoke flavor. The meats were warm and not hot and the bananas in the banana pudding were very brown. It shouldn't have been served. Not a bad place at all. I just wouldn't make the drive for it. In my opinion, Redwood Smoke Shack is way better. read more

Great bbq joint. Food was awesome! Everyone enjoyed! Will go again when we get back to town.

Stopped in after wanting to try Pungo Boys for a while. I opted for the taco special with all the fixings--a couple of brisket and pork, cheddar cheese, slaw, sour cream, and avocado slices with a side of hushpuppies. Their hot BBQ sauce wasn't spicy at all but had good flavor. Everyone was super friendly, with plenty of parking and seating inside. My takeaway looked and smelled so amazing I decided to eat it right there. The pulled pork was great, and I enjoyed the slaw. The brisket left something to be desired; it lacked flavor. I'll give their brisket another chance next time, as consistency is so subjective. The hushpuppies were OK - next time, I'll try another side. Pungo Boys' pork BBQ beats Dave's. However, Dave's brisket is far superior. I will visit again soon and update my review. read more

We decided we needed to try some bbq during our short stay in Virginia. We stumbled upon Pungo Boys and gave them a try. They are located in a strip mall in the corner. You walk right into the counter where you have the menu and order. You seat yourself and collect your food when they call your name. The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful and I tried all of the table sauces, but to be honest, the best one was their Souse Sauce which was basically vinegar and spices. It was tangy and delicious and packed so much more flavor than you'd think it would. The sandwiches come with a side of coleslaw that was fresh and crisp and also more on the vinegar side of things. It's definitely a different genre of BBQ than we get in Kansas City, but I loved it. read more

It was a nice sunny day and found myself going for a leisure drive down to Pungo. I came across Pungo Boys BBQ and stopped in for some late lunch. I ordered one of their specials Brisket Mac & Cheese. It was delicious! Brisket tender, Mac & Cheese creamy and cheesy. It was a nice portion where I got to take half to go. The establishment was clean and well kept. The staff were polite and friendly. When we got there, they were already selling out so that's a good sign. If I'm in the area, I would go back. read more

We've had this on our list for quite some time but just haven't been able to check it out until today. So glad we tried this BBQ it is definitely the best in the area. We got the platter which had brisket, pulled pork and pork ribs, it also came with 2 sides and we got the collard greens with potato salad. All the meats were tender and had a lot of flavor. We did also try all the bbq sauces that was on the tables and our favorite was the fire. It had a little kick but lots of flavor, it was delicious. They do also have a kids menu. My daughter got the pulled chicken with a side of mac and cheese she loved everything and actually wanted more mac and cheese. The staff was very friendly. Once we walked in we were greeted. There was also lots of tables available to sit down and enjoy if you don't do take out. While we were eating they walked around and greeted the customers and asked how everything was. We will definitely be back here. I read on other reviews that they do have beef ribs on Friday so we want to try that next time. Be sure to check this local restaurant out!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!! read more

Gotta start with the point that the various smoked meats are all amazing. These folks get it. The pork was excellent and the sliced brisket was moist and sported a great bark. But I also have to put a spotlight on the sides. Nothing I enjoy more than finding a place which puts some love into the fringes of the menu. The beans alone are worth a Michelin star, two kinds of slaw (creamy and vinegar)? The brisket Mac and cheese should not be approached without a recent cardio exam, but that's a good thing in a place like this. Pro-tip- If you happen to get lucky and get hold of one of their limited addition smoked ribeye Tomahawk steaks, you may think you've won the lottery. Call ahead on that one.. it's worth it! read more

Great Virginia BBQ ! Always great to take some more of their BBQ for home dining! Or if your visiting, stock up fir your ride back! I just hope there's some bbq left to take on the plane ride back to Ca! read more

We ate at Pungo Boys for dinner on 12SEP2024 and we were rushing to get there before they closed and they prepared our food quickly. My daughter had the sliced brisket platter, Mac and cheese, and green beans, which she took home for lunch the next day. My wife had the Cuban sandwich with the cucumber side salad and took half her sandwich for lunch. I had the chopped brisket sandwich with slaw and I ate everything! The brisket was very tender and the array of sauces was delicious. It was a nice dinner! read more

I stopped at Pungo Boys to pick up dinner. I ordered brisket and pork and they had Shot Gun Shells on special. I have never had these so I added this to the order. They were great along with the other items I ordered. You can never go wrong with everything on the menu. The staff is always friendly and helpful with order suggestions. read more

I Finally made it to pungo boys, i been wanting to try them for years. I eat bbq where ever i go, and they did not dissapoint. i love the smoke on the pork. and themac and cheese was the best ive ever had anywhere. read more

The food was great! Bbq was Smokey and Tim - and the hush puppies were the best! Fountain sodas or at least ice would have made it perfect!

Pungo Boys BBQ is a local BBQ spot, found in a small little plaza off of Princess Anne Road. Note that this place closes once the BBQ runs out! Their menu is pretty extensive, offering various soups, sandwiches, platters, sides, kid options, specials of the day, as well as catering options. We came here for an early lunch, and we had the following: +Smoked Beef Brisket (Texas Style Chopped or Sliced, we opted for the latter); this was pretty lean, but I felt that it was a little dried out; better with the sauces available +Pulled Pork - the pulled pork was smokey; the hubs thought it was just okay and slightly on the bland side +the Beef Short Ribs Special (came with two) - definitely the favorite out of them all - the beef was super tender, fall-off-the-bone deliciousness, and had a great taste to it; no need for any type of sauces for this! We were also surprised at how meaty and generous the portions were +Mac & Cheese with Smoked Andouille Sausage +Five Amigos BBQ Baked Beans +Red Skinned Potato Salad +Creamy Cole Slaw The sides were just okay, the highlight was definitely the short ribs! Staff were super friendly and welcoming. There is limited seating inside, as this is a smaller place, but there were also a couple of tables outside as well; most seem to get their orders to-go. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +Beef Short Ribs special! +friendly staff! +limited inside/outside seating +parking in shared plaza lot read more

We ate from their food truck at the beer festival this weekend, and it was very well priced. We got a platter with hush puppies and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was the BEST I've had in a long time. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. Would absolutely recommend! read more

First time customer(s). So impressed! Outstanding: Food, Service, cleanliness, vibe, speed of service, and pricing. Very warmly welcomed! Had the family with me. Military 10% discount. Everyone loved everything. Barbecue ribs - meat literally fell off the bone. Pork sandwich was outstanding too. Even the Mac N Cheese was awesome (unique great flavor). Complimentary slaw on the side. Great choices of BBQ sauce too (sweet to spicy). Will definitely come back! Exceptional!! read more

Pungo Boys BBQ is located in the Pungo Square Shopping Center in the Pungo section of Virginia Beach. The place is fairly easy to find as it is right off Princess Anne Rd. and is where the Pungo Sports Bar and The Hairitage Salon are located as well. There is ample parking here, and there is a ramp and a step spot to get up from the curb (the curb is higher than other curbs in the city). I have been here several times now, with my most recent visit being on June 6, 2021. My first visit here was in February 2021. I think this was shortly after they opened. At that time, the full Covid-19 restrictions were still in place. Masks were required for everyone, social distancing enforced, and limited socially distanced seating. When I was there, there wasn't anyone dining in, as all orders were to go, including mine. It wasn't too busy at the time, as there was only one party ahead of us ordering when we came in. On this first visit, I ended up going with the Pulled Pork BBQ platter with macaroni and cheese and baked beans as my sides. My mom went with the Sliced Beef Brisket platter with macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. The ordering process was simple, and it only took about five to ten minutes for the food to be ready for take out. After getting the food, we went over to the sauce bar to get some sauces to take with us for the BBQ. The experience with my most recent visit was the same as the prior visits I have done over the past few months. Once we got home, that's when we had our food. The food was still nice and hot, even though it does take about 10 minutes to travel to and from there. The meats were extremely tender and juicy. Adding some of the sauces gave the food that bit of a "kick" that I was looking for. The sides were great as well. Overall, I have had some great experiences here, including both food and service. You can't go wrong here. If you are in the area and looking for a BBQ place, be sure to check this place. Just be quick, as once they are out of specific meat for the day, they are out. read more

Great food but even better people. In between orders the staff sang happy birthday to one of their crew, it was cool.

Easily one of the best BBQ joints in the Hampton Roads area. I tried the pulled pork, the brisket, and their sausage, all of it was super delicious. Especially the Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, I can't wait to have that again! The staff also went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of! Very kid-friendly as well. I highly recommend this place! Especially if you're in the area. read more

I found this place on GrubHub actually so I decided to come and give it a try. I have to say, they sell some tasty bbq here. I got the sausage on a bun, plain. But I had it with the different sauces they provide. I love them. I also had a side of their hush puppies. They were ok. Need a little more flavor to them. Maybe adding some sugar, honey and sour crème to the batter will make them moist and hold flavor a little longer. Maybe even some heavy whipping cream while making the batter. But the sausage was amazing. Great Smokey flavor. Great value for my money. The service was great. Cool people working here. I love the design and style of the shop. Very nice. I'm definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Fix those hush puppies !!!!! read more

BBQ at its best. Generous size servings. The pork & brisket combo sandwich is a great example of what bbq should taste like.

Got the brisket grilled cheese, a sliced brisket sandwich, hush puppies that were a special, and collards just to say our party didn't eat completely unhealthy. Everything was awesome. The brisket was wonderful with and without cheese. The hush puppies had that little outer shell crunch and were so soft inside. The collards were a great escape from the indulgence. read more

I pulled over here for the first time on a whim. I've lived in vabeach my whole life, but Im not usually in this area. O my goodness..I'm so happy I decided to pull over. BEST BBQ and coleslaw I've ever had, ! I brought a quart of both home for dinner that night, and the woman packing my meal hooked me up with some free potato buns and a bunch of different sauces. My whole household is now obsessed and we're there at least 1-2x a month! We'll definitely keep making the drive from Kempsville, Pungo Boys BBQ!! read more

Stopped here on a whim. Great bbq. Meat was fall apart tender and very flavorful. Sauces were good. My fav was sweet mesquite. Had the hush puppies, Cole slaw, mac 'n cheese and baked beans. Had to get a second order of hush puppies, yes that good! And don't forget banana pudding. Fresh bananas, creamy... didn't want to share! Don't miss this bbq gem! read more

Oh. My. Goodness. Was in the mood for brisket..... GOOD brisket, and my husband found Pungo Boys. We went there since they had a 5 star rating and we are so glad we did!! The brisket was piled high on our sandwiches and had a melt in your mouth flavor that was SO good, it should be illegal!!!!!! The staff will take your order over the phone but does not cut your brisket until you get to their place. They are very nice when you call in your order (that alone is getting harder to come by), and they are very welcoming when you get to their place. The staff had the order ready in no time flat and they added a couple of 'extras' for us to try. Brisket sandwiches, red potato salad, and greens.....delicious!!! If you haven't had a chance go to Pungo Boys BBQ.... you will not be disappointed. read more
