I went to Williamsburg Virginia this weekend for my Anniversary and my wife and I visited Pierces BBQ through a recommendation from a friend that said "it's the best BBQ they've ever had". We got there at noon on Saturday afternoon and the place was packed. I'm thinking yeah, I'm gonna eat some good BBQ!! I ordered a Jumbo Pulled Pork Sandwich and some potato salad and my wife got a grilled chicken sandwich and onion rings. Our number is called and my mouth is watering. I pull my sandwich out and it smells really good, I smell cinnamon (one of my own secret ingredients). I open it up and it looked good, the meat was sauced already and it certainly was not a jumbo sandwich in my view. But the prices were good. I take a bite and was pleasantly surprised. It had good flavor, good bark, but the meat was chewy and some parts were hard and inedible. Then I tried the potato salad, it was just your ordinary store bought potato salad, big disappointment. My wifes grilled chicken was literally, dry to the point you had to take a drink to wash it down. However there was one really good thing, the onions rings! Delicious!!!
So would I go back? Sure, I'd give them another try. The flavor was very good with spices, vinegar and sweetness. I may have just gotten a bad spoon full of meat. But I'm telling you, this place was filled to the gills. As soon as someone left there was people waiting to sit down before the table was cleaned. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best I'd give Pierce's a 6.
