South Winchester BBQ

Besides making the entire block smell delightful, this place is bomb with the meats….and their cobbler. Omg…the berry cobbler is hella good, you gotta be careful on eating too much meat, so u can save room for some cobbler. Also…cool sodas and fresh brewskis. Nice local owners and friendly folks working here.

This is a good spot for bbq. I tried 5 of the meats (brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage). A guy gave me a piece of tri-tip when I mentioned I hadn't tried it before. All of the meat was tender and juicy. The smoke was light but there. They use white oak. The stars, for me, were the ribs and brisket (fatty).

I also ordered baked beans, mac & cheese, and a piece of cornbread. Like a lot of places, the sides are not as important and the normal portions are small. The mac and beans were ok. The cornbread was a pleasant surprise. It was on the sweeter side but went well with the meat.

They offered three sauces. The first sauce was a good sweet, but not thick, bbq sauce. The spicier sauce did provide a little kick and was tasty as well. There was also a Carolina type of vinegar sauce. Also on the sweeter side, with the vinegar and a little spice. Went well with the pork.

Winchester also had a selection of 10 beers on tap and beer fridge with a good selection for some take out.

The atmosphere was cool. Everybody, diners and staff, were cool. Definitely would go back.

Yummy barbecue! The patio is unique and cute, especially at night with the hanging lights. It’s loud—between kids running around, cars on the road, and the food truck next door. It’s all part of the experience. The brisket was delicious. I might suggest having like two more barbecue sauce options. The craft beer!! I had the most tasty sour of my life here—the Bootleggers Bay from Barebottle Brewing Company. I will definitely visit here again.
