Reviews The Maker's Fish House

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.

Please visit this restaurant. My husband and I saw it while driving buy and decided to order some lunch. We tasted our food in the parking lot. It was so good, we went back and ordered more food. It's the best bbq we've had in Virginia. Get the sampler.

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.

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."

First-time visitors' ,The food is very good. The smoke wings and fired fish were very good. Overall, all the food is good . I will be returning soon. My son loves the flavor of the food he said he is going to try the chop barbecue. This top-notch barbecue. Great job, Ronnie
