Recommended to us by a local as the best representation of Virginia BBQ. So good we went here twice…read more(we were in Virginia visiting on for the 4th of July). The pulled pork with Craig's Carolina sauce was our favorite. The broccoli salad and the pumpkin muffins are also really good. After lunch, definitely go next door to the Flea and Antique Market next door. We found so many great things there. Fantastic BBQ, followed by fantastic antiques....the perfect afternoon!

Fried foods were tasty, nice flavor on the hush puppies. I ordered bbq chicken platter- very generous portions. Chicken was fresh and tender and juicy. Spicy slaw and potato salad as sides. Spicy slaw has heat (as advertised!) and I missed it with potato salad which worked out nicely. Also an order of bbq pork platter- nicely cooked, the sauces on the table gave it extra flavor. Chose baked beans and Mac n cheese as sides. Also tried mustard pickles- why aren't these a thing? Just delicious! Took home dessert (dirt cup and peanut butter pie)- haven't tried those yet, and took home Butt Crack as a souvenir, could not resist!

I drove las this place twice in my travels and just knew I had to stop in. So I did just that…read more Nothing better than getting out of your car and seeing and smelling 2 very large offset smokers doing their thing. Absolutely hypnotizing. You order at the window. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered 2 lbs of pulled pork and 2 small containers of their hot bbq sauce. The pork was amazing. And the hot bbq sauce is legit. They had a variety of sides but I stuck with the pork. If you are ever near this place, it is worth it to stop in. You will be very glad you did. Highly recommend!!

Went to Vision BBQ for pre-concert dinner (show was at Ting Pavilion). Walked in on a Sunday…read moreafternoon about 5. Very slow, business wise. Server (Brianna) started out good, fairly attentive until I got my food. After I got my food I got one cursory "all good?" and that was it until I got the bill. Anyway, on to the food: ordered two meat plate (brisket and pulled pork) with fries and coles slaw. Fries were the highlight of the meal. Hot, crispy, seasoned...awesome. Cole slaw was good....but it was super tangy (vinegary) for my taste. Don't get it wrong, it was good, just hard to eat all of it thanks to the tang. On to the meat. Got a pretty good sized pile of pulled pork and a couple slices of brisket. Both meats were lukewarm at best. Pork was dry (thank goodness for the NC vinegar sauce). The brisket made up for the porks dryness, it was extra greasy and extra fatty. Like, for real, do you think people are going to eat the fat layer between the lean point meat and the fatty upper meat? Yeah, not me. But since the brisket was also lukewarm (more like lukecold) it really didn't make a difference. I did think the Vision BBQ sauce tasted pretty good. If Brianna would have come back by after I got my meal I would have sent it back....and probably would have just left without worrying over a replacement, or a comp, or anything. Secondary issue: went to the mens room. It was just nasty. You get once shot to make an impression, and this one was not good. Would not/will not repeat.

There are decorations on every wall and disco balls hanging from the ceiling. Service is also exceptional; we were seated immediately and provided service with a smile. Our food came out quickly; I got the brisket smash burger with a side of macaroni and cheese. The burger was smoky and tasted great, though the mac and cheese was on the dry side. Overall, I would be back to get a different side.

Oct, 2025. We visited Country Boys BBQ for lunch on a week-day while running errands in Louisa, VA;…read morethis was our first visit. Food (5/5). I selected the Pork Tacos PLATTER ($16), which featured three soft flour tortillas filled with smoked pulled pork, house-made pico (red onion, tomato, cilantro), and radish with a Baja drizzle. (Corn tortillas are available upon request). All platters come with two 8-ounce sides; from the 9 choices, we opted for the broccoli salad and onion rings. My husband selected a Smoked Pulled Pork SANDWICH ($10), which was served on a "signature-branded" bun with regular or spicy slaw (on the side) and with a bag of Lay's chips. All of our food was very good, and tasted fresh and homemade. The "branding" of the restaurant's logo on the bun was a fun touch, and we got a pleasant surprise in finding that the very tasty BBQ sauce on the tables was manufactured by GWB Hot Sauce in Clarksburg, WV (which we visit regularly to see a relative). Quantities were good for a filling lunch; we did not have leftovers for a brown bag. Two small comments: (1) my husband would've preferred a more generous helping of the slaw to put on his sandwich; and (2) it would be great to have a menu option that is vegetarian, perhaps a platter with three or four of the side dishes -- or at least showing a separate price for the sides on the menu. Ambiance. (4.5/5). The restaurant is country cute, with clean, well-spaced tables. Many of the tables were occupied while we were there for lunch but it didn't feel crowded. A few patrons seemed "local", and acknowledged the owner who was sitting with some buddies at one of the tables. The restroom was well-maintained. Service (4.5/5). There was only one (efficient!) waitress, handling in-restaurant and take-out orders, delivering food and drinks, wiping down tables, etc. Despite how busy she was, we felt taken care of. Parking, in a town of Louisa lot behind the restaurant, was free and easy. We will return.

The barbecue was in a squirt bottle. I have never seen anything like it in my life!! I just knew it was going to be a country meal that made my soul smile. She asked me if I wanted to try something else and in my mind, I was telling her, "heck no, I really do not want to eat this", but here we are. I also had the macaroni salad. Maybe they just do not believe in seasoning. But then again, even the water was disgusting. Yep, I will not be returning even if I am starving and have nowhere else to eat. I will eat my acrylic overlay first.

The first time I was great the restaurant was fun and full of people. When we walked in the place was almost empty, for a party or six they gave us two menus. Then you had to scan a QR code to order really not a fan or this especially with a party of six,self serve all your drinks and finally on top of what would call higher prices for sandwiches you get hit with a service fee because you ordered from an app. This place used to be good but has definitely gone down hill, we most likely will not be returning.

For a dine in experience they have good bbq probably the best I've had in cville so I'd be back. The restaurant is decorated with football and military memorabilia with nods to local firefighters and likely police departments as well. They definitely lean into an "army family" aesthetic. Their customer service is top notch and everyone who works there is very polite. This is definitely a "yes maam yes sir" type of restaurant. The food is great and I was actually surprised at the prices. I remember feeling like they were absurd while ago but we are for two for $15 each and had plenty. We shared a 2 meat platter with the brisket and pulled pork and made it an XXL combo that came with a side and a drink. Got us to about $22 and then added a side of mac and cheese and a bottled drink so we got to about $30 even for 2. The brisket and pulled pork are fantastic. Iv had Nashville BBQ so it's kinda hard to compete but this is probably the best I've had in Charlottesville. The meats are all good I personally prefer a bit more flavor but they're at least a 4/5. The sides were literally all great. The baked beans are prob the best I've had. The Mac is solid prob a 4/5 same with the corn pudding. The platter comes with a complimentary side of cornbread. This was a 2/5 (too dry and crumbly for us). The house sauces are all amazing and they have PLENTY of choices (I think 6 altogether inspired from different regions which is cool). We did not have leftovers - it was good portion for 2 people but we didn't feel stuffed or have extra so if you're SUPER hungry just add some extra sides. The food is good and for the price we would definitely be back!
