My wife searched some restaurants for lunch, while we were doing some shopping in the area. We chose Old City BBQ and we were not disappointed. The pulled pork was moist and tasty. The Mac and cheese was a very good upgraded side option and the fries were crisp and cooked perfectly. We also tried the turkey pot pie. The crust was nice and flaky and the meat was tasty. Their sauces are both tasty and worth trying. If you like BBQ, stop in and give it a try. The staff is also very friendly.

We were at the rec center across the street for some basketball games. Had a break in between games. We could smell and see the wood smoke coming from the restaurant. Upon walking in I was pleasantly surprised. Nice bar and dining area with also outside seating. Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Personable and knowledgeable. Seemed to enjoy her job. Some of the best baked beans I've had. Fries were great and seasoned well with a good crisp. My girlfriend was making mmmm sounds as she bit into the blt with burnt ends. We will definitely be back to try more selection of meats and sides.

Our family really enjoyed this restaurant. It was very busy, and I can see why. The food was amazing. excellent BBQ food. The poblano mac and cheese was incredibly flavorful and the best I’ve ever had! The service was great, which made the experience even better. The giant pretzel was delicious, and my sandwich was amazing 👏.

This place was recommended to me by several locals… and I am so glad. Wow. I love a good BBQ joint and I love pork belly, when it’s cooked correctly. Here it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. Beyond that the sides were delicious. The service was awesome. I’m a huge fan of the food and the people.

Server was great and friendly. Helped me accidentally order off the secret menu. It was a touch pricey but that’s kind of just the way BBQ Joints are going these days. The sauces on the table were pretty good. The main sauce is realllllly sweet for a bbq sauce but the tidewater had a nice mustard kick and the vinegar sauce was standard in a good way.
