Bristol Gardens and Grill

Bristol Gardens and Grill is a beloved barbecue destination located at 285 Vance Street in Bristol, Virginia, proudly serving as the Home of the Pork Bite. This family-owned establishment has become a cornerstone of the Bristol community, offering wood-smoked meats that are slow-cooked in their homemade pits using locally sourced pork, beef, and chicken. What sets BGG apart is their unique farm-to-table approach - they grow fresh produce and herbs in their restored greenhouses, which were originally used for flowers and decorative plants. These garden-fresh ingredients make their way into homemade menu items, sides, soups, and their famous sauces. The restaurant features a charming deli, a picnic table patio, and a greenhouse converted into a full dining room that accommodates around 50 guests. They offer convenient call-ahead or walk-in takeout service, and their catering department handles events ranging from office lunches to weddings, working with any budget to create custom menus. Don't miss their signature Garden Hot Sauce and Seasonings, made from peppers they grow and vegetables they roast, combined with a special vinegar blend for bold flavor. Open for lunch and dinner, Bristol Gardens and Grill delivers authentic Southern barbecue with fresh, affordable dining that keeps locals and visitors coming back.
