Wonderful, Awesome, Yummy!!! The BBq was the BEST we've had in awhile. The tea is splendid and I'm a sweet tea junkie!!! Can't wait to return. Picnic tables outside, plenty of space for children to run and burn off energy if you are traveling. Friendly staff!

Pierce's serves good, real BBQ and southern sides. The fries, onion rings, and baked beans are great. The mac and cheese is mediocre (but I am a mac&cheese snob). I just love their barbeque so much...

This place is so popular and well reviewed that I had to give it a second chance. I wasn't disappointed as it was the same as time. With a 1/2 order of ribs, I had my heart set on some meaty spared. What I hot was a box of steaming hot ribs - for you new to q, this was...

I ordered take-out in March 2011 when I was in the area. I was impressed with the quick counter service, and the fact that they asked me if I wanted the BBQ hot or cold. I had a cooler and a 4 hour drive ahead of me, so I appreciated the option of taking it cold so that I could...

Being a local and reading many of the reviews here, I think people misunderstand Pierce's. Pierce's is all about the pork barbecue. Locals do not go to Pierce's for the atmosphere or for a romantic experience. We go for the barbecue, and I would venture that for most locals, especially those of us who remember the old walk-up stand, we...

I was born & raised in this area & have always known about Pierce's but have just never gone. So my husband, also a local, & I finally decided to pay Pierce's a visit on one of our regular Sunday drives through the Colonial Parkway. It was very crowded & I was not prepared for the atmosphere (I expected to...

Was in the mood for some good BBQ usually found in the hole in the wall places. Followed the signs to the restaurant and found a nice looking place and a crowded parking lot. Almost didn't go, but glad I did. It was exactly what I was looking for... order at the counter, quick service, and great tasting pulled pork...

Traveling through and just shot in for takeout. A pint of BBQ to go and a delectable Brunswick stew. I've been going here for decades, and Pierce's has never failed me.

And sweet tea...of course. This isn't "fine dining"; you order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. We didn't realize that ahead of time, but it was fine. Crowded but worth it and we were able to get a table before our food was ready so it worked out fine. I suppose there's a reason they've...
