Two Drummers Smokehouse

I called because I had COVID.. I needed an ordered catered.. When I tell you Amy came through for me at that last hour for catering for Thanksgiving!She was gracious enough to call me back promptly and made it happen..The food was delicious!..Thank you all again!

I had high expectations for this place. It fell a little short but it was still a good experience. The server was really nice and it is a pretty cool place overall. I got the brisket dip sandwich and the brisket wasn't really that great. It was pretty dry and lacked flavor. I tried it separately from the sandwich just to check and it was not that great despite having a decent smoke ring. The mac & cheese was decent it just lacked a little bit of flavor. My wife got the fried chicken sandwich and she said it was pretty good but nothing out of this world. The kids all enjoyed their kids meals with extra generous portions. Overall, there are probably some better barbecue options in the Williamsburg area.

We stopped in as we traveled from Richmond to Williamsburg. Service was excellent.My husband ordered a plate that included ribs and brisket, and I had the brisket burnt ends. My burnt ends came with a different sauce than what they offer on the table, and it was our favorite sauce. I also had a side of fried green tomatoes that were great!The decor is fun with various drum themed items.

For a place with "Smokehouse" in the name, you'd expect the pulled pork and chicken to be showstoppers, but sadly, they felt more like a second act. The pork had a mild vinegar note, but it was dry, and the chicken was lacking in tenderness. On the bright side, the spicy beans and collard greens were flavorful and kept me engaged.However, the accommodation was hot, and flies seemed to enjoy the meal more than I did. Service was slower than a brisket cook, and the cleanliness could use some TLC. Prices? A bit high for what you're getting, although portions were generous. If you're after sides and don't mind a wait, locals may convince you to stick around--but I'll be passing on a second visit.

The bbq is great here but more importantly...the sides are just as good! We had the pulled pork with green beans, baked beans, Mac and cheese, butternut squash fries and collard greens. They were all amazing! I don't normally like baked beans but these were so good I plan to get them next time! The service was good, we sat at the bar.

Our friends and neighbors have been telling us about Two Drummers, so we had to try it ourselves. We had so much fun going for an early dinner. We walked in around 5:15 pm, and while the bar was pretty full, there were lots of tables open, and one booth. We asked to be seated at the booth. After we sat down, more and more diners arrived. We started with their Mel-garita (a traditional margarita named after one of their bartenders). It was bright and tasty. We also enjoyed their sweet tea. They had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, and we couldn't resist. They were perfectly done--the tomatoes were juicy and crisp, and the breading was light. We dipped them in a yummy tomato ranch. For dinner we ordered the pulled pork sandwich, topped with cole slaw. We also got a side of collards -- so good -- especially with their traditional bbq sauce. We also ordered the brisket entree, with cole slaw and hushpuppies. We enjoyed the tangy vinegar sauce with the brisket. We had so much food, we took half home to enjoy later. The restaurant is casual and laid back. They also have outdoor dining under a tent. Bands play music outside on Thursdays, and we were advised to make reservations for those nights. They may have music other days too. I'm not sure. They take reservations, except day-of, so plan ahead--at least by one day. Now, after writing this review, I'm ready for more Two Drummers BBQ!

Yummmmy. My husband and I came here because my brother recommended it. He also recommended the French dip , which I should have gotten. My husband got that and it was amazing. He let me have a bite and I knew I made the wrong choice. I got the pulled pork platter with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. The pork was cold and flavorless. The sides were great though. We also started with the meatballs. They were huge and delicious. Our server was nice too. The place was clean. They had booths and tables. All the booths were full so we sat at a table. There were a bunch of people eating inside too. Next time we come back, I am DEFINITELY getting the French dip!

Best BBQ in the area. Regular stop for us and never a disappointment. New menu has some changes, plus a seafood special today. Nice to see some new options!

We were looking forward to coming back after such a great first visit. The service was ok. But the most disappointing part was the menu had changed. They took off the pickle fried chicken and other items. I hate when restaurants change. Especially when it's something you have come for. I wasn't impressed at all with my dinner. I doubt I will make the trip again.

The service was good, the restaurant was pretty busy. The waitress was attentive. However, the food was not great. The hushpuppies were pretty good. The Caesar salad was okay, the croutons were oddly soft. I had high hopes for the pulled pork sandwich, but it was definitely a letdown. The sandwich was super soggy, the meat had no flavor other than tasting old. I added bbq sauce and it only made it soggier.
