Description:
No frills and a bit of a hike from ODU’s campus, but the meats are amazing – slow cooked and tender – and the sides are delicious. Brisket and burnt ends are my favorite mains; for sides I’ll take the mac & cheese with andouille sausage and the 5 Amigos BBQ baked beans. They have some seasonal specialties, including Brunswick Stew, which is a regional favorite. Great stop after a morning at the beach, or to pick up lunch for a trip to Sand Bridge!
