Best BBQ In Williamsburg Virginia Old City BBQOld City Barbeque’s Williamsburg food truck brings the same hardwood‑smoked, whole‑hog flavor locals love from their York Street restaurant directly to breweries, festivals, and community events across Greater Williamsburg.   Their mobile menu highlights prime brisket, pasture‑raised chicken, Heritage Farms ribs, pork belly, and scratch‑made sides like pit beans, mac & cheese, and coleslaw — all prepared using the traditional, coal‑fired smoking process the brand is known for. Old City Barbeque prides itself on high‑quality, locally or sustainably sourced meats and a commitment to classic barbecue craft, celebrating the whole pig and fueling their smokers exclusively with hardwood coals. Their food truck serves many of the same favorites found at their brick‑and‑mortar location — including sandwiches, tacos, crispy fried pig’s ears, pork rinds, and rotating specials — all made from scratch.

williamsburg virginia food trucks The Wandering Sausage5The Wandering Sausage is a Williamsburg food truck serving cheesesteaks, sausages, and NYC‑style sandwiches at local breweries and pop‑up events across the area. It’s a family‑run operation launched by Chris Reitzel and his son, who began rolling out the truck in early 2026 at popular spots like Alewerks Brewing Company and The Virginia Beer Company.

The menu leans into Philly‑style cheesesteaks, Italian sausages, all‑beef hot dogs, deli sandwiches, wraps, and classic sides like onion rings, fries, and tots. Regulars know them for their rotating specials and hearty portions, and the truck has become a staple at Williamsburg’s brewery circuit — especially during weekly pop‑ups at The Virginia Beer Company, where they serve cheesesteaks, sausages, sandwiches, and more alongside live music and events.

Their menu is built around house‑pressed corn tortillas, elevated proteins, and vibrant sauces — including favorites like Carne Asada, Korean Short Rib, Korean Fried Chicken, Roasted Cauliflower, Patatas Bravas, empanadas, and street‑corn‑inspired small plates.

Born on the streets of Williamsburg, Don Chido quickly built a loyal following through its fearless flavors and consistent weekly appearances at local hotspots.

LIVE MUSIC : MIKE DEMOSS : WILLIAMSBURG INN

Williamsburg Virginia Live Music Local Music Finder Mike DeMossAbout Mike DeMoss

If you’re exploring Williamsburg, Virginia and wondering where all the good vibes are coming from, there’s a solid chance it’s Mike DeMoss holding court with his signature acoustic style. Mike brings the same smooth vocals and easygoing charm he’s known for on the coast, but with a Williamsburg twist—think colonial‑era ambiance meets modern‑day “wow, this guy’s good.”

Whether he’s playing on a breezy patio in Merchants Square or moving indoors when Virginia weather decides to be dramatic, Mike’s sets always feel warm, relaxed, and just a little addictive. Locals love him, tourists stumble into a show and instantly become fans, and Williamsburg gets one more reason to brag about its live‑music scene.

ABOUT THE VENUE:Williamsburg-Virginia-Hotels-Williamsburg-Inn

The Williamsburg Inn Terrace 

 

The Williamsburg Inn is where Colonial Williamsburg’s old‑world charm meets the kind of luxury that makes you briefly consider speaking in 18th‑century English. Guests get the full royal treatment—grand architecture, manicured grounds, and service so polished you’ll wonder if you accidentally became a duke. And one of the best parts? The live music. On sunny days, you can sip something dangerously good on the patio while musicians set the perfect vibe. When the weather decides to be dramatic (because Virginia loves a mood swing), the music simply moves indoors, keeping the atmosphere just as warm and elegant. Whether you’re here for the history, the cocktails, or the brag‑worthy photos, the Williamsburg Inn delivers every time.
