    Hand Dipped All Natural Chicken Tenders
    Maria T.

    The Cobb salad is a Mountain of deliciousness! Not only is the chicken tender and juicy, but plentiful as well! The onion rings on top are unbelievably tasty and massive! One of the best salads I've ever had!! The service is always quick and friendly! And the place is cozy and pleasant.

    I haven't been here in a while... I forgot how good this place is. Our group of 9 came here for dinner Sunday night and had the best time. The food was so good and came out fast and the service was excellent. A lot of young people work here and they do such an awesome job. We will definitely be adding this to our weekend dinner rotation. My only complaint was the orange crush I got didn't taste like it had any hooch in it.

    Clean restaurant with a pretty decently sized BBQ menu. Ordered a hickory smoked pulled pork plate and paid an upcharge to upgrade the protein to Brisket burnt ends. I was a bit disappointed with the size of the brisket burnt ends, it was more reminiscent of shredded brisket and I found it to be too sweet. The sauce that it was cooked in was abundant and there was a little puddle of reddish oil at the bottom of my ramekin that held the meat. If you've ever had the boneless ribs from a Chinese restaurant that's what it tasted like. The pineapple coleslaw was good, however and a fresh tasting side. The fries were crispy and well seasoned, as well. I also enjoyed the house salad that came with the plate. Our server was really kind and attentive, the restaurant itself was very clean and I found the booth seating to be very comfortable. I really enjoyed how much natural lighting was present throughout the restaurant via the large windows. I would return but don't think the specialty meats (burnt ends) was worth it and would probably stick to other BBQ staples like pulled pork or ribs.

    Came in late at night on a Federal holiday and found really great energy at the place! The Monday special is a half rack of ribs and a side, at half price, $13.95: What a great deal! There are booths, tables, high tops, and seats at a bar so long, there are three TVs showing sports. Parking in a strip mall lot, street entrance is handicap accessible, and the attire is casual. The BBQ was melting off the bone, perfect. Strongly recommend!

    The food and service was awesome! We each had the pulled pork plate with Mac and cheese, slaw, baked beans and sweet potato fries. Aiden was very attentive as well as the front greeter. We will definitely come back.

    BLT Burger

    I brought my mom for her 80th birthday celebration, her choice. I ordered a blt burger and fries. I was expecting to see 2-3 pieces of bacon but what I received was one piece of bacon broken in half. If the beef wasn't there, would you still call it a blt? Serenity was a great waitress and also brought me a better slice of tomato instead of the butt of the tomato, that slice goes in the trash or cut up in a salad. I did enjoy the fried pickles, but my burger was just mediocre and the fries have no seasoning.

    We have always ordered BBQ by the quart for carry out. We find that to be fairly convenient, since they are located in a shopping center. Parking is shared with other shops and can be tight. The service was slow and be sure you get some sauce. Pick up buns at Foodlion around the corner, and you have a great family dinner on a budget.

    I am picky about BBQ (thank you Captain Obvious) but have to say we have hit on another really good quality BBQ restaurant. The Flyin' Pig was everything I needed it to be -- GREAT service, a wide variety of smoked meats, a good beer assortment, ample portions cooked well, and decent prices. First, the location.... in a suburban strip mall with a grocery store, doctors' offices, and several other restaurants (including 21 Spoons, which I have also reviewed -- great fine dining!) but the parking lot was a challenge. Getting inside, we were seated immediately. There are about 10 TV sets going with sports, not intrusive, and nice music playing from the past couple of decades. Despite what we learned was a short staff (one staffer went home unexpectedly just before we got there) we never felt rushed or neglected. Friendly genuine interactions with our server as well as another server who backed ours up bringing food from the kitchen. Food -- we ordered hush puppies that came with choice of honey butter or red pepper jelly. We got both sauces without any hesitation. The hushpups were well cooked, nice crust on the outside and soft in the middle. The pepper jelly was excellent (if a bit spicy for my wife) and the honey butter melted easily into the cornbread. Good start. I ordered a side salad to go with my main, which came out early (which is great.) A well thought out mix of greens, with generous amounts of veggies and cheese and croutons and corn (nice touch) and a honey lime vinaigrette I want to try to clone. Before I could woof down more than half the salad, our mains arrived. Wife got a brisket burnt ends sandwich and onion straws. The burnt ends were sweet-finished, like they had been rolled in honey as part of the prep and then left in a skillet. Nice flavor, would be too sweet IMHO if eaten alone but great on a sandwich. What I cannot understand is how a barbecue joint can serve brisket burnt ends but not serve brisket. My suspicion is that they buy the burnt ends and smoke them on premises, but I have nothing more than my logic to support this idea. Still, with pork and chicken and burnt ends on the menu, this was a noticed hole in the offerings. The onion straws were A MAZ ING -- crumb coat and perfectly cooked, could have been brought to the table a tad warmer. My wife declared them to be the best onion rings/straws in Richmond. Long live the king! I ordered the Bruce, which is a pulled pork BBQ sandwich and five wings with choice of sauce (nine sauces, four dips to select from) and choice of smoked wings or grilled smoked wings. I chose grilled smoked wings in spicy garlic. The wings were meaty with maybe a touch too much smoke (any further and I would have said bitter, but these were still in the tasty range), the garlic reasonable but not overpowering, and the heat level that was purportedly in the mid range was nicely spicy. The star of this portion of the meal was the blue cheese sauce for dipping.... it had chunks of green-veined blue in it that were big enough to pull out with a fork and spread on the wings for a really great tang. Little things like that make a nice meal even more memorable. But back to the pork sandwich. The sandwich, served I believe on a potato roll which made me doubt whether it was going to be able to hold up, was both sturdy and generous with the meat. Nice pork, good smoke flavor, smoke ring apparent on select pieces. Add to this a choice of two table sauces (sweet or spicy, and you know I went spicy) and this was a very good restaurant sandwich. With two teas and tax, the bill for all this was $58. Not at all bad, I think. Put this one on your Que rotation, near the top of the list.

The meat, what there was of it, was a bit dry but had a nice smokey flavor. The fries were baked with a nondescript coating and the small container of baked beans was my favorite part. The cornbread was tasteless and the butter that came with it had a strange, bitter taste. There were good parts too. The staff was very pleasant. I was also fortunate to be there on a Thursday night. That's when they host a bluegrass jam session and my meal, such as it was, had some surprisingly good live musical accompaniment. Finally, Billy's shares a parking lot with the dine-in AMC theater. And, say what you will about the food at Billy's, it's a heck of a lot better than what you can get at the movie. My recommendation for an OK dinner and movie experience is to come here first for dinner and then walk the few hundred feet to see your show. And, if you come here on Thursday you might even decide to skip the movie and stay here for the music.

I know everything is expensive right now and places are doing their best but $2.50 per side when being given that amount seemed a little off. The Mac and cheese was good, very creamy and cheesy. The fries were hot and crispy. Could have used some extra seasoning. The hot dog was good. I added extra BBQ sauce but the bbq on the dog (NC style) was nice with a good vinegary bite. The slaw was ok. I prefer a smaller chop on the cabbage just for ease of eating. The sauces were all really good with the Wildwood hot being my favorite.
