    Pup cups!
    Liberty G.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of the best meal I ever had! Fast and friendly service. We ordered pulled pork brisket and ribs it hit the spot!

    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.

    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!!!!

    We loved the food at Repeal Bourbons and Burgers !…read more We started off with drinks which were yummy and delicious. I had the Plymouth Rock because I love Gin and it was refreshingly sweet. My husband had the Margarita on the Rocks which I was not a fan of. I did not like the mix they used to make thins drink. My son also tasted it and agreed with my opinion. The lettuce wraps were really good. My daughter in law and I both had the CALIFORNICATION burger, my husband had the CLASSIC burger, my son had the CAPONE Burger and everyone was really happy! All burgers were properly cooked and delicious. The fries were good, nothing special to write about. My husband had the fries with bacon dust and they were very sweet.

The Southside was alright. It is bombay gin, St. Germaine, Jack Rudy small-batch tonic, and soda. Would have given this place a 4/5 if not for the crappy service. The rude guy working the bar was neither friendly or pleasant. There were no napkins when food was served. I stood up and politely asked for some. I found some below the register and, since the guy was busy prepping drinks, I decided to get them myself. He then said, "okay do my job," which was unnecessary and rude. Though the other waiter was friendlier, service was overall bad.

There is a good selection of Virginia beers on tap and a rotating selection of beers from around the country on tap. They also have a cider on tap. There is a small selection of wines, canned beers, non- alcoholic beers, and for those who just graduated from soda - hard seltzer. The food menu clearly labels gluten- free and vegetarian options. There is a nice selection of appetizers, flatbreads, bowls, burgers, sandwiches. My husband and I both went with bowls I had the poke bowl and my husband had the chicken bowl. Both were delicious and above what one would expect for a pub. Mine came with succotash, which I thought was an interesting choice, but it worked. We split the pretzel, which was amazingly good.

Our first table ended up being under a spotlight that was directly in our line of sight (it looked like it was meant for the specials board), so we asked to move. Staff was accommodating and got us to a better table quickly. The space itself is really nice. It was clean, rustically decorated, and the live plants in liquor bottles on the tables are a nice touch. Our server was friendly from the start and took drink orders right away. My daughter and I had sodas, and my husband ordered the Southern Charm Old Fashioned off the specials menu, which he enjoyed. The menu is on the smaller side, which we actually like. One unique detail was the option to "buy a round for the kitchen," which we thought was a really nice touch and decided to add it when we ordered our appetizer. We started with the fried deviled eggs after a friend recommended them. They were creative with three styles (classic with pickle, togarashi ginger, and crispy prosciutto), but overall a bit on the dry side and not as flavorful as we expected. We asked for Dijon, but they don't have it. Our server suggested and brought out the Baja dipping sauce instead, which did pair well and kind of improved them. My husband had the fish and chips and really enjoyed it. He said the fish was flaky and well cooked. I ordered the Union grilled cheese, which unfortunately seemed like it had been sitting a bit before being served, as the bottom was soggy. It was just okay overall and not particularly memorable for the price. The sweet potato fries on the side were the clear standout. They were crispy, the perfect balance of sweet and salty and honestly the best part of the dish. Our daughter had the kid's smashburger. It was exactly that. Service throughout the meal was good. She was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and there when needed. The main disappointment came at the end. When our meals were served, the server actually offered sauces at the table (ketchup, mayo, ranch, etc.), and specifically suggested items like the baja sauce for the eggs and ranch to us. Because of that, we were surprised to see several charges for the sauces on the bill, especially since they were offered and recommended at the table with no mention of any additional cost. We were also charged a credit card fee, with no signage anywhere (entrance, hostess stand, or menu) indicating that paying with a card would include an extra charge. It just left an unnecessary sour note on an otherwise solid, casual meal. Nothing was bad, and nothing really stood out as exceptional, but the lack of transparency around those final charges really impacted the overall experience for us.

It was non stop; attentive, taking orders, making drinks, checking back with others, she was truly impressive. The places was jumping; it was busy, casual and didn't slow down from the time we arrived until we left. Parking is challenging, there's a small lot beside the restaurant and a small lot behind it so if you can car pool you'll benefit yourselves. Now on to the star of the show - the food! The only knock I had was portion size. In a big guy with an even bigger appetite and when i left there i could've eaten my whole meal over again lol. But that's also because it was delicious. I got the mac n cheese starter, the Beast Burger, tater tots , and the biggest slice of chocolate cake I've ever had. Literally the biggest slice of cake ever- twice the size of my burger. Everything was delicious, from start to finish and if i were a person that had a normal appetite i would've left full like my friends did. Will definitely be back!
