Hello guys I have a question for you guys ! I have not been back east in like 10 years and well the other day my wife made roast beef sandwitchs. My question to you is...Does Bill's BBQ still do bussiness? I remember me and my grandfather going to one in down town Richmond all the time. It was just down the street from his bussiness. Anyway I was just wondering down memory lane and thought about going to Bill's BBQ with my grandfather !

Thanks for any and all input ! Landon

Richmond, VA, my home town (now in Texas). As USERc10 said there are only a few left. The first thing I do when I get back to Richmond is go to Bill's BBQ. Here in Texas all we get is beef BBQ and I really miss Bill's pork BBQ that I started eating 40+ years ago as a youngster.

It looks like there are more locations than I thought according to the phone book:
700 East Main Street
927 Myers Street
9958 Midlothian Turnpike (Route 60)
1601 Willowlawn Drive
5805 West Broad Street
7102 Hull Street Road (Route 360)

Great Limeade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JB

Isn't there 2 on the Boulevard, one across from the Diamond and one near the Hardees at West Broad? I have not been down that way in a few years.

STOP IT!!!!!!! I'm 1,300 friggin' miles away.

useRc10 · 12-17-2003, 11:35 PM

i know for sure the one across from the diamond but not sure on the other on boulevard...maybe i'll go that way home from work and look. I second the limeade.

useRc10 · 12-17-2003, 11:36 PM

oh, i preferred Andy's BBQ...all but one have closed and i'm not sure if that one is still even there...i need to find someplace with some good barbecue now.

General Lee 01 · 12-18-2003, 03:36 AM

I loved going to that place when I was little. Unfortuneately, the food isn't that great anymore (it's good, but not what it used to be IMO) and they stopped doing the cool "drive-in" service they had when I was little.

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-18-2003, 10:47 AM

I like Doumars here in SE VA. Curb service, great limeade and first ice cream cone machine.

Im with you on that man !

I thank all of you for your input. I guess I will ask my grandmother in burkeville, to stop by one next time they drive over to richmond, and see if they have any sauce to by so I can make my own !

Hey useRc10, if you want to ride up here to Fredericksburg, we have a place called Allmans Bar B Q on US Route 1.

i think i'm going to go up that way to get a cowl hood for my '85 blazer from some place (cant remember the name now) after christmas...i might have to stop in there...another good one is Pierce's along 64 near williamsburg.

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-19-2003, 07:33 AM
