Pierce's Pitt Bar-b-que

Their barbecue is just ok to me. The sauce is already on the meat. Unfortunately you can only get it with Carolina type sauce and I'm not a big vinegar sauce fan. Not sure if they are doing this just during COVID or if this is the norm. However, I won't go back unless I can use a different sauce more to my liking.

My brother visited from Philly recently and said while he was here he wanted to make a trip up to Pierce's BBQ. He's lived in Philly for 15 years and it's been at least a decade since I've been to Pierce's myself. So I took a day off, which happened to be a Friday, and off to Williamsburg we went. Upon arriving around 11:30am there was a short line outside the door, because of course there always it, however they were limiting the number of people in the building due to Covid protocols. Good sign. The wait wasn't log at all and within a couple of minutes we had moved into the main line inside the counter area. Social distancing was definitely being observed and we patiently waited our turn to approach the counter. We each ordered a BBQ and Fries. Along with that we ordered hush puppies and a sandwich for to take back for Mom and my brother picked up some bottled sauces as well. While we waited for our order we filled our drinks and started looking for a table. Inside was at capacity so we looked outside and found a table in the shade right by where we parked. My brother took the drinks and occupied the table while I waited a couple more minutes for the meal. The wait was very short. So not to repeat myself to much, but it had been years since I had visited here. The food smelled so good and once I took my seat at the table the food was out of the bag. I smothered my sandwich in their house BBQ sauce and took a bite. Oooh so good! The crinkle cut fries were also plentiful and complimented the BBQ sandwich perfectly. I was a little disappointed with the hush puppies. Not because of the taste, but the amount. The bag of hushpuppies only contains 8 of them now. There used to be at least twice as many. That means my brother and I had 4 each... Oh well, lesson learned. 2 bags of hushpuppies in the future. I washed my lunch down with fresh lemonade. Pros: Fast service. Super friendly staff. Delicious food. Picnic table in the shade. Cons: None What a great lunch. Sitting in the shade on a beautiful fall afternoon, hanging out with my brother who I see to little over with a bounty of delicious BBQ. Does it get any better?

After a very long hot day at the Jamestown Settlement Museum we were starving and wanted something delicious and came across this place. OOOMMMGG!! The food quantity is large and quality is top notch and food is done quickly. The baked beans and pulled chicken sandwich is amazing and the fries are ENORMOUS, we took them home. We were all very satisfied after continued raving about this spot on the way back to the hotel. You will not be disappointed. ☺️

Went to Pierce's two nights in a row on a recent vacation to Williamsburg. Amazing BBQ joint with tasty food and very reasonable prices. Had the "Super Doc" the first night and a jumbo pulled chicken sandwich the second night. Both were outstanding with just the right amount of BBQ sauce. The tanginess of the sauce is perfect. Also tried the baked beans and potato salad. They were both delicious as well. Service is extremely fast as you'll have your food before you even have time to fill your fountain drinks. I can't imagine a more perfect BBQ experience.

Still a very popular place to stop for an excellent BBQ sandwich - situated somewhat off the beaten track between Hampton Roads and Richmond, Virginia. It was still as popular recently, during the coronavirus pandemic, as it was on our visit a year ago. The place is very clean, the staff courteous and efficient - dine in or take out.
