We had to have some barbecue on the 4th of July. This was a good choice.
The ribs were tender and delicious. The onion rings were excellent while they were hot. Eat them before they get cold. The Mac and cheese was fair so choose a different side. The hush puppies were very good. There is a variety of sauces so you can flavor your barbecue the way you like it.
The counter staff was friendly and helpful with understanding the options for ordering. When our food was ready they brought it to the table.
It’s a no nonsense dining room with “get your own drink” and clean your table when you finish.
The friendly staff wished us a good day as we left.

It felt like an undiscovered gem frequented mostly be local residents. $12 for a large pulled BBQ is amazing and makes for great least overs at home. I regret we don’t live close!

This was an unanticipated stop, since I was passing through the area, but it did not disappoint. There was plenty of parking for lunch. The inside had a homey bbq feel with red and white checkered table clothes and cute pig wall decor and signs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The pulled pork was excellent, moist and had a slight (but not overwhelming) hint of smoke. They keep three bbq selections at the table (sweet, mad dog- spicy, and Lexington- vinegar) along with other condiments. The hush puppies had a very delicious corn and honey flavor..moist on the inside and golden brown on the outside. I would recommend the hog fries they were delicious and could be a meal of their own. The catfish wasn’t super crispy but very fresh and not fishy at all.. I’d recommend it as well. Overall it as a great experience. All the sides were great! This is a hidden gem!!

Ate here a couple weeks ago after skiing. Early evening midweek. What barbecue place does not have brisket? Pork, chicken and ribs were very dry. It was like they were sitting there since yesterday. Sauce was good. Was expecting more of a homemade macaroni and cheese from a barbecue establishment. No hash and rice? Best thing was the fried okra and hush puppies.

Update August 2025:
Party of 3 we had pork sandwich with coleslaw and 1 side (cheese curds with an up-charge, worth it), fried chicken fingers with tater tots and BBQ smoked chicken (breast & wing)baked beans, hushpuppies and potato salad (too much mustard for us). Loved everything but the potato salad. One of our favorite places to eat. Highly recommend.
There BACK open after Helene. We are so blessed. Foods as delicious as ever. Our party of 3 had ribs, pork & smoked chicken combo, and many delicious sides. They are still working on the music stage inside.

The best barbecue ever! Everything is always fresh and delicious! I always go there to get my barbecue! I am actually taking some to my family in Florida, per request! Everyone loves it! I always pick up and bring it home, but their restaurant is very spacious and nicely decorated!

Enjoyed a large pulled pork plate, with coleslaw and baked beans, plenty of hush puppies and also a fried flounder sandwich with tartar and a side of french fries. Our appetizer was the fried mozzarella cheese sticks. Unfortunately, they were out of marinara sauce. Food was served quickly and staff was very pleasant.

Carolina Barbeque misses the mark despite decent food and average prices. The menu lacks a distinct identity, blending various cuisines without excelling at any. The ambiance is lackluster, with dirty floors and uninspiring decor. Staff behavior is unprofessional, with excessive cussing and loitering. While the food is edible, it lacks the bold flavors and unique touches that make great BBQ memorable. Overall, Carolina Barbeque fails to leave a lasting impression.

Excellent BBQ, and the most friendly and fantastic staff ever!
I always look for local places to eat when I’m away from home, and this one was a home run! The combo plate for lunch was wonderful! The flavor of the pulled pork and smoked chicken was on point, and their hush puppies are definitely the best I’ve ever had! Don’t forget the Maddog sauce on the side, you will not be disappointed!!

I don’t like to share a negative review unless it is helpful for others to make a decision.
I really love BBQ. My husband ran a BBQ stand so I know good BBQ and what it takes to make it work. This was not it. The pulled pork was nice in some parts, others were hard and crunchy with very little if any smoke or pink color from smoke. My potato salad was crunchy as the potatoes were not cooked all the way through. The flavor was excellent, I just wish it had been cooked. The coleslaw was ok. The hush puppies were delicious and we ordered an appetizer of the fried cheese curds. Those were fried to perfection and delicious.
The staff were friendly and kind and while we were one of maybe 3 or 4 groups present, our food arrived quickly and hot.
The interior was nicely decorated for the style, but could use some new table cloths. Some were stained and faded while others looked new. The stage had become a storage area for overflow boxes of things.
Lastly I used the restroom. I only included a picture so you could see what I saw. The sink was so dirty. The ceiling was missing light covers and the vent was covered in some kind of black dirt. If I didn’t have to go so bad I wouldn’t have. It did make me wonder if this is the level of cleanliness in the parts of the restaurant you CAN see, what does the kitchen look like?
To the owners: please take some time to fix these things. We need good small businesses!
