The baked beans was all right. However, the BBQ was cold, without any sauce and absolutely flavorless. The “meat” was white (please see attached photo). It surely wasn’t beef. To top off, the owner is somewhat rough around the edges, which discouraged us from going back there to return the food. We literally threw it away and got food from somewhere else. Huge waste of time and money.

Hands down… Best BBQ in VA. Locals favorite for half a Century. To some it’s a hidden gem and to others it’s a well known fact – there’s no BBQ like WILKES BBQ. I get mine ATW All the Way (w slaw and hot sauce), always with a side potato salad, which my husband and I agree is our favorite – the recipe is perfect! Sometimes we fancy Northern Beans and other times the bbq beans do the job. Heck, sometimes we get a small side of each. THE COLLARDS ARE TO DIE FOR, only available friesh in season. Home made slices or while pies available — SWEET POTATO PIE like grandmas. This place is If you haven’t tried, you’re missing out!

The very young, rude lady who showed no signs of customer service protocol and just general upbringing and politeness, showed me an outdated sign when I inquired about prices and then became extremely rude when I questioned what I was charged. The sign gave one price( hand written) but she then quoted something different. I would not have felt some kinda way, if she had been more pleasant in her delivery and maybe an explanation as to why there was a difference . Even though my husband and I enjoyed the food, it is a “hard” no as to if I will return.

Very homey. Simple Southern BBQ, served in a paper bag. They don’t sell fries, but all the other staples that go along with BBQ. Coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, green beans and seasonally collard greens. A few other items such as ribs. Baked Beans top-tier, served in a Styrofoam cup.

My family and I love Wilks BBQ. They have the best BBQ I’ve ever had as well as the coleslaw. In fact their baked beans and collard greens are delicious also. I have served it many times when we have a large crowd to feed. Don’t let the outside appearance stop you. It’s truly a hole in the wall.

When I worked at Fort Monroe years ago, I used to treat myself to Wilkes a few times a month. I moved to Petersburg in 2015 and missed the Carolina style BBQ. Moved back to Hampton in 2019 and I forgot about Wilkes until recently. Been looking for good BBQ since. All the places around here have heavily smoked BBQ with tons of seasonings and sauce. These chain BBQ you can’t tell the beef from the pork because there is so much smoke and seasoning. For folks that are familiar with Carolina style BBQ, it is totally different from that type of BBQ.

Good customer service. The greens were on point! However, the bbq wasn’t good to me. The ribs tasted boiled and not off the smoker.
