    Awesome bbq, chopped brisket was some of the best I've ever had. Love the sauces on the table so you can try them all.

    Big Swerve's BBQ - Jerk chicken salad

    Checked this place out on a whim since we were in the area on Labor Day weekend. It was a…read morepartyyyy-- there was a DJ, outdoor seating, it actually smelled like smoky bbq (iykyk) and there was a group of people all waiting to be seated inside. Luckily we were dining outside so we ordered at their outside window. Food took awhile and they didn't call us like they said they would but it was worth it. Brisket was tender and tasty. Jerk chicken sliders were flavorful and satisfying. The Mac was just right: baked but not dry. The collard greens and green beans were amazing too (green beans WERE NOT canned, thank god). Everything was so yummy and satisfying we were beyond full and so happy we stopped here! The corn bread wasn't my favorite so I'd skip that next time but everything else was phenomenal. I would definitely come back.

    For years I kept telling myself, "One of these days I need to get back to Big Swerve's." I used to…read morevisit when they were cooking out of the trailer behind the VFW in Woodbury, and somehow I never made it to their new location. After finally stopping in, I have one question... Why did I wait so long? This is, without question, the best barbecue I've ever had in my life. The first surprise was the restaurant itself. I knew they had a nice outdoor seating area, but I had no idea they also had a beautiful indoor dining room. It's clean, comfortable, and a huge step up from what I was expecting. We were greeted by the sweetest young lady named V, and she was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer our questions. Customer service like that makes a great meal even better. My wife and I split a full slab of ribs, and they were nothing short of incredible. Tender without falling apart, packed with smoky flavor, and finished with just the right amount of sauce. Every bite reminded me why good barbecue is worth the wait. For sides, we ordered the mac & cheese and their famous Mean Beans. I'll admit, I thought "Mean Beans" meant green beans. It turns out they're baked beans...and that's saying something because I normally don't even like baked beans. These completely changed my mind. They were rich, smoky, and absolutely delicious. Then there was the cornbread. I've had cornbread all over the place, but this was hands down the best cornbread I've ever eaten. Moist, buttery, just the right amount of sweetness--it was almost dessert. Big Swerve's has come a long way from the trailer behind the VFW, and it's great to see them thriving. The food is phenomenal, the service is outstanding, and every part of the meal exceeded my expectations. This isn't just another barbecue joint. It's the kind of place that reminds you what barbecue is supposed to taste like. Five stars isn't enough. This has officially become my favorite barbecue restaurant anywhere, and I'll be back again and again.

    I'm going to sit down and give this a proper review, so here goes... over the years I've gone back…read moreto Sweet Lucy's. I can't go often, since it's not that close to me, but when I go, I typically order the rib platter. I typically get the same sides (beans and mac n cheese) along with cornbread. It is certainly more deserving than my initial 3 star review on my successive visits, but I never updated my review. Not everyone will love the sauce, which tastes more tomato-based, but that's okay. As I've gotten older, I appreciate it more. It's almost like... they put... ketchup... in the sauce... and if that's what it is, I'm fine with it. It tastes good. The ribs on that initial visit were tough; that's not a lie. On three visits afterwards, it was not as tough as the first time. On my most recent visit today, the ribs were really, really tender. Like... this is how tender ribs should be. The only difference between my experiences before versus now is I placed a takeout order this time whereas I always ate at the restaurant before. If takeout will always yield the freshest, most tender ribs, I'm good with ordering takeout from now on. The ribs were tender to the point of being delicate. They were SO GOOD. Even the rib that looked like it could've been tough was tender. That's how you know ribs are good. I would give 5 stars for just the ribs alone, but aha... there were more items... baked beans... SO GOOD... they have sausage bits in them. Cornbread... baked fresh and cut in front of my eyes... WARM, SOFT, FLUFFY.... SOoo GOOOOD... the mac n cheese... well, ehhh... can't win them all... it was just mac n cheese. I have to remember to order something other than mac n cheese next time, but I always forget because I don't go here often enough. Still, this is a 5 star meal all the way and I look forward to more meals like this. I thought I had to drive over to Camden all this time to get tender ribs. Let's say that all again... the ribs are damn good... tender and juicy. Yums. Go get some. Parking lot on the premises. Hope you get the same experience I just did.

We had no idea what we were in for ...wow!! We ordered separate bbq brisket (not as a sandwich, we wanted to focus on the meat) and a side of Mac and cheese and bbq beans. Wow, the brisket was the best bbq brisket I had eaten anywhere. Until today, the best I had eaten was in Texas and in Maine. It was so moist, flavorful, rich melt in your mouth brisket deliciousness ... with a perfectly paired horseradish bbq sauce on the side. Everything is clearly homemade with lots of experience and love...A heavenly brisket for sure!! The bbq beans with a variety of beans and chunks of beef that was also absolutely delicious and a standalone meal ... best beans anywhere with regard to flavor, spice, bean variety, texture and sauce ratio. And finally, the Mac and cheese was perfect, not too salty and more like the Jamaican macaroni pie ... crispy on the outside, great cheese quality, and perfectly salted wothoit being greasy. It paired perfectly with the flavorful moist meat and beans!! I returned to share my gratitude to the incredible chef du jour, Freddie. I really love and will travel for good bbq and this is as good as it gets!! No wonder it's award winning. And chef Fred is also a full time firefighter, father of you can imagine, and a lovely kind down to earth person, as is his partner, Jeff!! Thanks for your hospitality! Definitely we will be returning here often! I make a mean braised brisket (grandmother's recipe) but bbq brisket is tough to make and keep moist! They nailed it!! We love the ambience/ location at the Williamstown Amish market entrance ... and worth following this award winning chef and good truck to other locations!
