Psst !!! I have a secret-Weston's Smokehouse
 
i HOPE THE ADMINISTRATOR/MODERATOR WILL LEAVE THIS POST AT THIS LOCATION FOR A WHILE. Because the Villagers love eating out, this forum is the best way to get a message to a lot of people. Today my wife and I stumbled on a best kept secret in dining in the area. I had heard this restaurant was as good if not better than the BBQ found at the Oakwood Smokehouse. The Smokehouse is fantastic, and this restaurant surely is as good if not better. WESTONS SMOKEHOUSE at less than a year since opening on 301 at the north edge of Wildwood has wonderful BBQ along with a full menu, this includes smoked prime rib on a designated night. WESTONS also do catering. We had pulled pork sandwiches, the meat portion was at least a half pound of delicious BBQ. Give these young owners the opportunity to serve you, you will surely aree with me.

Glad you liked it. Maybe they've improved from the time I tried them, but they lost me when their ribs were all fat, no meat.

I stopped there for the first time about 2 weeks ago for lunch and thought they did a real good job also.

My husband and brother-in-law "discovered" Weston's too. They love the place. Don had a prime rib sandwich that he said melted in his mouth. I haven't had the honor of going yet, but I will take their recommendation, along with your's, that they have good food at good prices.

Always looking for good BBQ that is not too fatty~

Same here Red. We were there about a year ago and really didn't care for the food. The owners are very nice people and I wanted to like it and be able to recommend Weston's but couldn't.
I'll definitely try it again.

i didn't like it and will never go back. Besides the brisket they served that was 90 percent fat, the mashed potatoes were prepared in a food processor (can't fool me - they have the consistency of damp plaster.)

Biggest secret? Several months ago we got food to go from Westons. What I got I sincerely hope was not the norm, but an exception to the rule as it was the absolute worse rib meal (quality and taste wise only) I've ever had since moving to TV, and I can even extend that to include any restaurant in the immediate TV area. I don't know if I'll ever be able to make myself order from there again, especially with what (IMHO) I feel are a number of other excellent BBQ places available!

Not really a secret!!! We tried it once and that was enough. Too many good BBQ places around compared to Weston's.

The restaurant has only been in business for 10 months.

I think this is another example of some like it some don't.
All restaurant postings are worthless. You have to experience the restaruant yourself.
How can half the people like a particular place and the other half will "never go back"?
I think posters on TOTV closed Oshays Sports bar on 44.......................

I agree with you about people's opinions of restaurants. There is no good or bad, due to differing tastes.

As for O'Shea's, I think the manager had a couple problems he needed to address and didn't.

No, it's been open longer than that. The first post on TOTV relating to Weston's was on 2/20/2013.

The present owner personally told my wife and I they would be celebrating their first anniversary in two months. I'm confused. Could this couple be a change in ownership ????
