Southside BBQ & Catering — Restaurant in Chesapeake

So here's the deal from beginning to end I walk into the store and I love the Smoky smell. That's a dying sensation in most barbecue shops that I've been in lately. I ordered the Big Pig because for a dollar more than a regular sandwich why not and it was about 3 in of meat in between the Buns which is huge. Definitely a great value in my book and the bag and the sandwich smelled amazing., my sandwich tasted amazing. Juicy, well seasoned, and a little tender the meet without the barbecue sauce is seasoned just slightly on spicy side while being very mild in nature. but the reason why I'm giving it four stars is for me there was certain things that were missing. I prefer a more sweet brown sugar sauce and the only two options available were spicy and tangy. The other aspect is I prefer a Toasted buttery Bun, it's a thing that's rarely done anymore but for some reason when it's done I get extremely excited. Just for reference my childhood memories of barbecue is from Mississippi so I kind of don't consider this a fair review because I think it's heavily biased but I want to make this as...

This is an awesome BBQ place. They do take out only and you can call ahead. We drove past Southside Bbq on our way to a doctor's appointment and stopped there afterwards for a BBQ lunch. First of all this place smells incredible. Second, the portions are ginormous. My fiancee ordered a Big Pig Sandwich. It had literally 8 to 12 ounces of FRESH smoked pork bbq. He's a big guy and almost couldn't finish it. I ordered the regular bbq sandwich and I almost couldn't eat it all, but I managed. We're also ordered some baked beans. They are so good w/ bits of pork bbq mixed in to them. Joe, the owner, is ROCKING the BBQ & HIS Sauce is stellar. I wish he had a food truck. We do have 3 suggestions. 1. Use bigger sandwich buns. 2. Get some seating. Indoors think tables with chairs along the display area... using the display area as a long bench. 3 Put a picnic area in the "florist" parking area. Keep up the...

Edit: Tried the chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Glad I didn’t get the Big Chix, the regular was big enough for me.

This is a lot of great food for a great price. I was working in the area over two years ago and really liked this place, I am back and stopped in for a late lunch and nothing has changed. Everybody is very friendly, the food is exceptional and the price is affordable. I got two chicken leg quarters, which comes with two sides, I got the mac & cheese and the coleslaw. It also comes with a roll, I went ahead and added a drink. The food was $10, with the drink I think I paid $12. I ordered less than two hours before they closed and the chicken was still very moist. I like their Mac-n-cheese and the Cole slaw was delicious. I had one the other day that was dry and tasteless, there’s is very moist, with a...
