SMOKE BBQ RESTAURANT & BAR REVIEWS
Tried a locally owned place called Smoke. They seemed to have a live guitarist playing on the deck. Really great blackened chicken. Mixed veggies were peppers, onion, zucchini, and squash. The server, Emily, recommended the mashed potatoes with the gravy on the side. Probably my favorite meal so far in Newport News. Would recommend going both for the food and the quality service.
We ordered the handmade mozzarella sticks. Best that I have ever had. I ordered the pulled pork dinner with 2 sides and my son ordered the beef brisket sliced. We were both blown away by the melt in your mouth, deliciousness. Our waitress could not have been nicer. They also do brunch on Sunday's and also do brick oven pizzas too. The drink and beer menu is extensive.
We are from out of town and was recommended by family to try this place out!! Great choice! Hot food, good variety of choices. Our waitress, Caroline, was great! Speedy service, kind, and very helpful. She did a great job!

MISSION BBQ REVIEWS
Went to dinner w/ the family tonight & we had the Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ Slaw, the Combo w/ Ribs & Pulled Pork and the Half Chicken. Everyone enjoyed their meals & my mother especially liked her Potato Salad. My husband & I always enjoy trying out all the delicious sauces on our sandwiches. Dining room & bathrooms are always clean. Staff is always friendly & tonight Fred made sure our dining experience was above & beyond. We will definitely be back again & again.
Superb. Great portions, delicious and well cooked. So friendly to a visiting bbq fanatic! Short ribs were fantastic and the seasoned vinegar just delicious.
Mission BBQ is the best!! One of the best locations I’ve been too! Jane is the best, attentive and professional. She looks out for all our men in women in the service.

ROCKY MOUNT BBQ REVIEWS
Got the combo dinner with BBQ and Ribs, came with 3 sides so I got collard greens, candied yams and Mac n cheese. It was so delicious definitely a go back to place. The staff was just so friendly great customer service.
One day before New Years Eve. I walked in to order food. Our food was delicious and we enjoyed it on New Years Eve night. The people at Rocky Mount are pleasant to work with and checked on our food frequently. They were very busy and everyone had patience and waited nicely for their food! Ordered our black eyed peas which were delicious.
Stopped in this evening. Food was great! Staff was great. Thanks so much for a good meal.
