After we did a little shopping in Williamsburg we decided to head to Old City Barbeque for an early dinner. My last review of them was in February 2018. We figured it’s time to swing by and see how they’re doing now. They’ve been in business for about 8 years now. Let’s see what you think.
The Restaurant and Staff at Old City Barbeque:
Old City Barbeque has a nice location. Everything there still looks great. We loved the décor and the feel of the restaurant. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our server, Kim, was a very friendly young man. He took good care of us while we were there. He made a couple recommendations as well as explaining a few things for us.
Our Choices at Old City Barbeque:
Ribs and Pulled Pork Platter with Smoked Stout Beans and Poblano Mac N’ Cheese.
We each ordered 2 Meat Platters. Tammy went with Sliced Brisket and Pulled Pork. I chose Ribs and Pulled Pork. We both went with Smoked Stout Beans and Poblano Mac N’ Cheese for our sides.
I’ll start with the Brisket. It was wonderful. The brisket at Old City Barbeque has great flavor as well as a good smokering and some tasty bark around the edges. It was tender and I was able to just pull it apart with my fork. Yes, Tammy gave me a slice.
The Pulled Pork was also very good. I thought the flavor was outstanding. The smoke and seasoning blended well. Tammy did get a taste of something hot, like pepper, along the way which made her shy away from it. I didn’t have that problem, which meant I ended up with even more pulled pork. And that’s ok with me.
Finally, the Old City Barbeque Ribs were rocking. They did come lightly sauced. I didn’t ask if you could get them without sauce, I just went with the menu. Sauce or not, I loved the ribs. They were also tender and just pulled right off the bone like they should. If you’re a rib lover such as I am, you should give them a try. Hard to beat some good ribs.
Our Sides at Old City Barbeque:
Sliced Brisket and Pulled Pork Platter with Smoked Stout Beans and Poblano Mac N’ Cheese.
Like I said, we both chose the same sides. The Smoked Stout Beans were excellent. They had a great sauce and smoke flavor to them. I’ll order them every time I come. As for the magnificent Poblano Mac N’ Cheese I do love it also. It comes loaded with cheese and a hint of flavor from the Poblano peppers. This mac & cheese is pretty awesome.
Final Thoughts on Old City Barbeque:
I will chalk this visit to Old City Barbeque up as another successful trip. We enjoyed our meals and the people there were wonderful. We’ll be back around for another visit. I think on my next visit I’d go for some ribs and brisket or just ribs. They were my favorites today. But I don’t think you’ll go wrong with anything you pick from their menu. I do recommend Old City Barbeque if you’re in Williamsburg, VA. It’s a great spot for some great BBQ.
