Willey's

No visit to Colonia Beach is complete without offering a visit to Willey's.  Good homestyle bbq is few and far in between this far north, and after our first trip to Colonia Beach, we're ready to return (to Willey's, not Colonia Beach that is).  It's not too often a meal under $10 takes the cake from a great daytrip.

The barbeque comes in gargantuan portions; we got to-go and thought they put a brick in our bag.  The trays were overflowing with beans and slaw, and my NC-style pulled pork was as sweet and tender as I'd ever had.  Time stopped years ago in this small side-of-the-road restaurant, and it doesn't seem they changed their recipe from what first put them on the map.  Nor should they ever.  They're my first call next time I have catering needs, or find an excuse for a nice drive for a great meal.

Had I written this review 9 years ago, it'd be 5 stars. I'm back in Dahlgren for school and used to love this place when I was here the first time. I could have sworn that they used to have half a chicken that you could order so I was disappointed when they only had shredded chicken. Now, the chicken was delicious and I still love their sauce the best. Maybe next time I'll get the ribs. I'd definitely recommend this place. If you haven't been, stop by...but only Thursday-Sunday.

The food is so good. You can only get there on Thursday to Saturday. The ribs are crazy good and the wings perfect. No need for knives as the meat slides off the bone.
