Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que

Having grown up in VA and frequently traveling to the Williamsburg area for over 45 years, I had often heard about this place and its reputation as an institution. Recently, while passing through, I decided to stop in for lunch. The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly, maintaining a clean lobby. However, their menu isn't very accommodating for trying a variety of meats, as they sell brisket by the pound with a half-pound minimum. Typically, I enjoy sampling a range of items like ribs, sausage, chicken, and brisket from a smokehouse. Due to the limited ordering options, I opted for a brisket sandwich. I paired my brisket sandwich with beans and coleslaw. Although the $33 price tag for a sandwich and two sides seemed steep, I hoped the quality of the food would justify the

We've been coming once a year for years, this is a tradition to look forward to! The pulled pork sandwich is good. The price is steep for the size. My husband had the hamburger, he said if he had closed his eyes, he wouldn't have known the difference between Pierce's burger and a 5 guys burger! Can't wait to come back next year! Also, your drink comes in a souvenir cup (not just a water)

We stopped here on vacation based on reviews and notes on gluten free options. Even though the place was PACKED (always a good sign at a BBQ place), the staff kept things moving quickly. My wife stated that she had Celiac disease and then placed her order from the gluten free menu items. A few minutes later, they called us up and noted that one item from her order could be cross contaminated from other items and allowed us to change her order. All of our food was delicious, and we really appreciate the care they took to ensure safety for our entire family. We would absolutely visit again!

Entering the building I definitely liked the environment. It kind of remind me of home with all the pictures and decor. Everything was great except the fact they only had one selection of bbq sauce in the condiments area. Maybe it’s my own fault, but I just expected that they would offer some variety when so many others in the area offer multiple types. Other than that I would highly recommend!

I went there for dinner with my family. The food was ok. I wasn't particularly impressed. The cornbread was pretty good. The banana pudding was pretty good. The pulled pork and the pork ribs didn't have much flavor other than the BBQ sauce. The BBQ sauce was ok, but it wasn't something I'd feel the need to come back and have again.
