What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rocco's Smokehouse Grill is lauded for its exceptionally tender and flavorful smoked meats, particularly the ribs and brisket. Diners consistently praise the generous portions and the quality of the sides, with cornbread muffins and potato salad frequently mentioned as favorites. While the overall experience is highly positive, some reviews note inconsistent execution on certain dishes.
"Rocco's Smokehouse Grill is above par with many similar restaurants like it. Even though it was 6:30 when we arrived there was no wait for a table for 2.
Our server was great and was helpful with recommendations.
Both our meals were excellent. I can't recall the last time I could not finish a meal because it was too much, but at Rocco's, my portion of brisket was not only absolutely delicious, but so large that I unfortunately had to leave some on my plate.
I will definitely go back there if I am in the area."

"Amazing food, excellent, friendly staff. Great value for the money. Even the sides were flavorful and well seasoned where some other smokehouses just phone it. Will definitely be back for more."
Eosian Rios
"Ordered takeout and the food was fast and ready within 15 minutes. The smoked wings were my son's favorite I had the Rocco #3 to get a taste of everything. Ribs and chicken were fall off the bone with an excellent bark on the brisket. I think I ate a rib bone but I'm not sure. Very good. Do recommend."

21 Williamsburg, VA Restaurants to Try in 2024
Think mounds of tender barbecue, tangy sauce, and southern sides when you think of Rocco’s. The barbecue itself was fantastic but the sauce really brought it up to the next level. I was a big fan of their potato salad too.
What's There to Do in Williamsburg?
BBQ: we’ve got that in spades: check out Pierce’s Pit, they have been around since 1961, or try Old City, Rocco’s, Matchsticks, or Route 60.
