The Maker's Fish House

Mr Ronnie and his family are BBQ kings! Hubby and I stopped enroute home to Williamsburg and so glad we did. Ribs were smoky, tender, moist and sooo flavorful. Sauce on the side. Yay! I prefer my ribs dry rub style and this rack knocked it out of the park. Also got wings. No chick wings here. Nice whole smoked wings left this wing nut speechless. And the Hubby craves those baked beans. Hush puppies and potatoes salad were delicious sides totally in keeping with the quality of the meats. Thank you Mr Ronnie! You’re right, we will be coming back.

We visited yesterday and had a wonderful experience. Overall the food was excellent; well seasoned and properly prepared. Ronnie’s doesn’t offer a platter (2 meat, 2 sides) option, so I got the brisket box with collards and string beans as well as a half pound of pulled pork. I can’t resist hush puppies so I added an order as well as the lemonade cake. The sandwich was heaped with moist and delicious brisket. There were no burnt ends but the slices had a decent bark. The slow cooked southern style string beans were peppery and delicious. The collards were perfectly cooked but need a little kick. In addition to the other sides there was also coleslaw. The hush puppies were the best I’ve ever had and I’m sorry that I didn’t get more. The lemonade/iced tea pound cake was one of the most interesting cakes I’ve ever tried. The texture and crumb was perfect, and each bite was flavorful. The cake was perfectly moist but the flavor is tough to describe. Don’t miss it if you appreciate Southern cake.

This restaurant is definitely 10/10. We had the bbq jackfruit sandwich, chicken bbq sandwich, fries, potato salad,beans fish, chicken tenders, hush puppies, peach cobbler all was delicious.Definitely added to my list of restaurants. I only took 1 picture of the Jack fruit sandwich. I was ready to dig in lol.

Atmosphere: It's a BBQ pit - what do you want? You drive up, pick up, and drive away. Service: Fine - Promptly made a suggestion, took our order, and returned moments later with the food. It cost more than I typically spend on BBQ, but the value is in the product. Food: This is what made the Service, Atmosphere, and anything else irrelevant - we ordered 2 sampler boxes, and within was the BEST brisket I've EVER put in my mouth. The chopped pork wasn't far behind, either; it was delicious even the next day. The chicken was smoked over wood, charred over flame, not drowned in some sweet sauce. If it wasn't 300 miles away, I would be a regular. I've grown up on BBQ, and for over 50 years I've had what there was to offer from all over North Carolina, to Austin and Memphis, even Cambridge, Massachusetts and St. Lo, France... and I can unequivocally say I've never had the equal of this brisket. Portions were plenty, perfect texture, perfect temperature, wood smoke flavor throughout, perfect amount of fatty streaking, not dried out, used good cuts of beef... a glorious culinary achievement. I just need to say "Thank you, Ronnie. Well done."

We were told we had to try their jackfruit BBQ sandwich since we were in the area. Let me tell you, even if we weren't in the area, it is totally worth the drive. And those fries 😋 🤯😋The owner greeted us and took a few moments while we waited to talk to us. I love his BBQ journey story. I didn't expect to get the amount of jackfruit on our sandwiches so I was a little upset that I didn't have another bun. The quantity was enough for 2 sandwiches!!! It was amazing! You have to go. And Mr. Ronnie, we're bringing our massage chair up there next time for you😉

Everything was delicious. We ordered online and did not have to wait too long for the order to come out once we arrived. The fish box was well seasoned. The bbq sauce was sweet with a little spice. I loved the hush puppies. The ribs were tender Everything we ordered was good. It was two of us that shared the meals and we had enough to eat the next day. Would most definitely go back.

Stopped by for lunch for Black Restaurant Week. Ordered ribs, pulled pork sandwich, turkey leg, sides for the family. I enjoyedd the pulled pork sandwich. All the meats were very tender, but we felt they could have been seasoned a little more. Same with the sides. Fortunately, we all enjoyed the sauce. The cornbread and peach cobbler was also very good.
