Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que

I have been going to Pierce's since I was a child. It's always been one of my family's favorite restaurants. I usually stop by Pierce's whenever I am in town visiting family. The customer service has always been great here. The set up includes ordering your food and waiting for your order number to be called. I enjoy the casual seating atmosphere whenever I dine in. Some of my favorite menu items are as follows: Pulled Pork sandwich with Coleslaw, Hushpuppies, Baked Beans (includes brisket and hotdogs), Banana Pudding and the Pulled Chicken. The fries here are my fave. This is a must stop whenever you are in the Williamsburg area. They have multiple menu options that offer something for everyone.

Don't bother placing an online order here. Order was supposed to be ready at 4:55. Arrived at 4:50 and gave them my name. Stood around for 20 mins as they called all of the in person orders. Line now completely empty, I asked if they could check on my order. Seems they haven't even started it. Now another 10 minute wait. Brough the food back, and it was all cold. We are staying only 5 mins down the road, so the bag must have been sitting and just not brought out. Burger bun was wet and ribs were rubbery. I asked for ranch and they were out, out of spoons for soup too, and didn't provide plates for a to go order. The place is a cafeteria at best, needs to be updated and a better system worked out. Why even take orders online if you're not going to do anything about them?

Got to say that one review said it was a little expensive, but it is not, especially for the amount of food.What we got: 2 cheeseburgers, 1 Jumbo BBQ sandwich, 1 pulled pork plate, 2 orders of hushpuppies, a piece of cornbread and 2 desserts; a brownie and the banana pudding.According to my son-in-law and granddaughter, the burgers were delicious, the onion rings also. The baked beans gotten as a side on the plate were enjoyed (I tried but the weinie slices put me off, flavor is very good though), potato salad was thought to have a little too much mustard. The BBQ sauce is just okay, but I'm from Eastern NC and greatly prefer a more vinergary sauce. Just our preference. The hushpuppies were very good, but I should have never gotten 2 orders! The cornbread is a tiny loaf and we all tried that. I know it would be even better hot with butter. Fries that were with the dinner (nice surprise) managed to stay crisp on the drive back to the Historic Powatan Resort, amazingly so, since they had to pick up Micky D's for the two youngest children.Desserts, skip the brownie, but the banana pudding was delicious. I mean almost as good as somebody's mama or grandma made, but topped with whipped cream, and not Cool Whip, but tasted like real whipped cream, with banana slices, yummy. We would definitely eat there again, which is really all anybody needs to know. Yes, even with that not Eastern NC sauce. When we're traveling, we want to try different, as long as it's good. 'nana puddin', I'm coming for you.

Very disappointed. My wife and I had their pulled pork dinner. For dinner for the two of us it was over 50. The pulled pork had no discernible smoke flavor or smell and was already covered in a sugary dip before I even had an opportunity to taste it. Good bbq doesn't need sugary sauce to make it taste good. The smoke and the rub should do that and then you add dip at the table to taste. Everything was served in plastic containers in a bag. This was C bbq at best at an A+ price. Can't speak to the other items on the menu but the pulled pork was nothing special.

Best bbq in Virginia award this year... nope! It's been several years and I checked them out twice in the past few months and walked away shaking my head at their fall. They are just not good and pricey to boot. Had the JC special with upgrade of onion rings which is an upgrade on price too. Nothing about the meal was tasty except the fountain Pepsi. Especially disappointing were the onion rings that tasted frozen. The bread was not fresh either. Another visit had the bbq chicken which was meh and a custard pie to take home. It was just ok.Nothing special about either services at the cash register, but I still tipped well. I will say they did one thing exceptionally well both times. The dining room was spic & span. An older gentleman was Johnny who top of the tables when turned over. I'm at a 2.5 rounding down and will not return. It's evident to me they have become a tourist trap.

So good ! So super busy. We got there at opening and by that time we left they 37 minutes later they had served 100 people !!!! Brisket top notch. Collards omg !!!! I ate the food so fat no time for pictures . Banana pudding with real bananas

A GREAT place for Barbeque in Williamsburg!I told a person that I was going to visit WIlliamsburg and this was the place that they recommended to stop for a good meal. They were absolutely correct and I appreciate the suggestion. It is located along East Rochambeau in a stand-alone building. There seems to be a lot of parking around 3 sides of the building. Be aware that this is a really popular place with seating inside and outside. You order at the counter and are given a number that they will call when it is ready for you to pick up at the counter. Drinks are obtained from a drink station and include soft drinks and good tea. I got the J.C. Special which is a bbq sandwich with coleslaw, fries and a drink for about $14. It came out within a few minutes and was absolutely delicious. The taste was excellent on both the sandwich and the fries. This has a lot of business and so seating can be challenging to find like it was on the day I visited. The staff tried to keep the tables bussed and the floors clean but with the number of people moving in and out it was challenging. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting great bbq that is visiting this area.

I love Pierce's. The baked beans (with weenies) is my favorite dish and a must have whenever I go. The BBQ, smoked chicken, and sweet tea are also wonderful. They have a special that includes a whole smoked chicken and two pints of sides, which is great for takeout! The people working are always friendly and get your food out fast!

There's nothing fancy about this place, but the bbq is excellent. It was packed when we were there. Service was fast and friendly.

Great chicken and pulled pork BBQ. Ordered takeout for 11 people and it was ready in 20 minutes.
