Cuz's Uptown Barbeque

Cuz's Uptown Barbeque is a beloved Southern barbecue destination nestled in the picturesque Appalachian foothills of far southwestern Virginia, near the borders of West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. This family-owned establishment has earned a loyal following for its authentic, slow-smoked meats prepared using time-honored techniques and recipes passed down through generations. The restaurant operates seasonally from March through November, welcoming guests Wednesday through Saturday from 1 pm to 9 pm. Cuz's distinguishes itself by sourcing much of its produce from an on-site farm, ensuring freshness and supporting the farm-to-table philosophy that today's discerning diners appreciate. The rustic main dining room, photographed by Bob Brown for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for family gatherings and casual dining. The venue also features charming accommodations including The Cabins, providing overnight options for travelers exploring this beautiful corner of Virginia. Reservations are available for parties of six or more, making it an ideal destination for group celebrations. The bar area, staffed by friendly faces like Sudie and Big Mike, adds to the authentic Southern hospitality that defines the Cuz's experience. Located in Tazewell County, the restaurant is conveniently situated 15 minutes from Tazewell, 45 minutes from Bluefield, and 45 minutes from Abingdon, making it accessible for both local residents and tourists exploring the region.
