17 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Piney Flats

“Not the old one when Paul Bare was alive but they are doing pretty good. They have all you can eat buffet with different items daily. The buffet is $12.99. It is really great for something quick where you don't have to wait. The menu is loaded with options to accommodate larger groups, I am sure they would have something on there to please almost anyone. Only draw back to buffet is it has no desserts.“

“Hands down the best BBQ we have eaten anywhere! The whole Southern Craft BBQ (Bristol, VA) experience was top notch! Melody (one of the managers) and Josh (our server) made our first experience amazing! We would recommend this restaurant 100%! ♥️“

“First time today and was so good! My husband and I Got the chicken bacon ranch burrito, Mac n cheese, cowboy beans fries and house burger! Would recommend to friends and family!“

“Great! I had pork BBQ tray, collard greens and BBQ beans. Everything was excellent. I tried just a little of the vinegar bbq sauce base because not usually my favorite but it was very good. I used the traditional sweet southern style sauce and it was my favorite. My husband had a brisket burger and loved it! Also the smoked Mac and cheese and cornbread pudding (think that is what they called it) very very good as well. We enjoyed banana pudding for dessert! We highly recommend!!“

“If you’re craving authentic, no-nonsense barbecue that hits you right in the soul, look no further than Red Pig Bar-B-Q & Deli. From the moment you step through the door, the mouthwatering smell of slow-smoked meats tells you you’re in for something unforgettable. The ribs are insane—tender, smoky, and slathered in a sauce that perfectly balances sweet and tangy. The pulled pork is juicy, rich with flavor, and clearly cooked low and slow with serious care. You can taste the tradition and pride in every bite. Sides? Just as good as the main show. The coleslaw is crisp and refreshing, and the baked beans bring a subtle kick. It’s the kind of meal that makes you want to sit back, sigh, and savor every second. The staff at Red Pig are friendly, fast, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. It’s clear this isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a community hub for serious BBQ lovers. Red Pig Bar-B-Q & Deli doesn’t just serve food. They serve comfort, care, and a whole lot of flavor. I’ll be back—and next time, I’m bringing friends.“
