Tucked away in the heart of Pembroke, Virginia, Bluegrass BBQ delivers everything you'd hope for…read morefrom a true small-town gem. From the perfectly seasoned fried fish to the smoky, flavorful jerk pulled chicken, every bite tasted like it was made with pride. And then came the surprise star of the meal--the hush puppies. Crispy and golden on the outside, warm, soft, and pure comfort on the inside. What truly made this experience unforgettable was Albert, better known as "Vinny de Vincent." His passion for cooking is contagious. As he shared the story behind his recipes, his cooking process, and his vision of serving both his community and the world, it became clear that this is more than a restaurant--it's a story of second chances, reinvention, and purpose served on a plate. His hospitality made us feel like family the moment we walked through the door. If you're looking for authentic Southern flavor, genuine hometown hospitality, and a meal prepared with heart, Bluegrass BBQ earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 from me. This is the kind of place that reminds you why small-town America still has some of the best food--and the biggest hearts. #BluegrassBBQ #PembrokeVirginia #SouthernCooking #SmallTownHospitality #CulinaryGoodness

The inside is quaint, comfortable and has decor that is well done. It has a small town feel and is lively with laughter and conversation. The food was fantastic! The meats were well smoked and not fatty, the catfish was perfectly lightly breaded and crispy, the baked beans were smoky and well seasoned, the cole slaw was light and perfectly perfected, the green beans were just like my grandmothers and the star of the food was the mashed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were well seasoned, not overly sweet and melted in your mouth. The best part of the visit was the people. The servers were great, the cook staff were working together well. Being from Texas, I have high expectations for BBQ and this place rivals some of the best small town BBQ joints I have been to. Must try if passing through or anywhere in driving distance1

When we arrived there was a woman outside absolutely in love with all the different stuff they had and helped point us in the right direction on what to get. A man named Marshall was behind the counter and gave us a sample of his DELIGHTFUL pulled pork. When I say good, that's an understatement. The pork was expertly cooked and smoked. The sauce was perfect, and they had everything a BBQ place should. We all polished off our meals and even went back for the homemade banana pudding. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Marshall for a awesome meal and your wood smoked pulled pork. Will always come back when I'm in town

While traveling to our Christmas destination, we had a craving for BBQ and came across Hickory…read moreHouse BBQ. It's really nicely done converted gas station, with a rustic farm house feel. We were greeted warmly by our server who quickly took our drink order. After a couple of minutes of reviewing the menu we ordered fried pickles for our appetizer. Then for our entrees, we ordered a brisket and pulled chicken plates, with mac and cheese, hush puppies, and cheese fries for our sides. When our fried pickles came out, I was caught off guard. Instead of a traditional fried pickle, it was a pickle spear wrapped in wonton paper and stuffed with a slice of american cheese. They didn't taste bad, but I feel it was more like a pickle with cheese egg roll, and would not order it again. The brisket came out very tender and tasty. The cheese fries and hush puppies were excellent. Probably the BEST hush puppies I've ever had. The pulled chicken was very dry and coated in dry rub, which only added to the dryness. The mac and cheese was soupy and watered down. The portions, considering the price of the entrees (roughly $9 for a meat and 2 sides), were moderate and more than enough. Same for the quality of the food items, despite there being some dislikes, they were okay considering how inexpensive they were. All that said, we did eat all of our food and overall enjoyed ourselves.
