Really enjoyed the food at Tipton’s. I got the pulled pork and the potato salad. Both had great flavor and where really good. I liked the regular sauce. My wife and daughter got the smoked turkey. One got mac and cheese and the other got chips and ranch dip. All the sides really great.

My girlfriend and I went there after visiting the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was laid back/relaxed. All I can say is We’ll be back!

I ordered the tipsy Texan and it was Great! The sandwich had brisket,sausage,coleslaw, and onions on it. It was very tasteful. I ordered okra as my side and it was cooked just right. I was too full to finish my meal but I will go back.

Sweet tea in mason jars, sweet corn nuggets with ranch dip for an intro. Being from the south and brought up on bbq, these fell into “as expected” for any respectable southern bbq joint. My wife had the jumbo Q sandwich. She commented that the chopped was kinda dry. Came with red slaw which was tasty and her side was okra which seemed to lack flavor but was cooked well. A touch of salt and it was back on point. Obviously, no southern seasoning in the batter. I had the three little pigs with baked beans. Chose pulled pork, chicken dark meat, brisket. They have choices of 3 sauces. Vinegar, sweet, smoke. They are pretty much as advertised but the smoke sauce is a cut of mostly vinegar with a touch of sweet which was my go to here. Of the the meat option, the pulled pork was my favorite. All were cooked well. The brisket had a little more fat (London broil ish) than my taste and the chicken was way Smokey! Smoke smoke smoked Smokey! An hour later, burp smoke, pee smoke, sweat smoke, poot smoke. That Smokey! Ate way more than I should. Was a good meal. They ran out of collared greens for my order though. Sad face. Next time, sticking with the pulled pork or Will try the ribs or wings.

We enjoyed the food and would give it 4 stars and pricing seemed fair, the service was 5 stars, but the bathrooms are 1 star and made me concerned about the hygiene here.
Food: we got chopped pork shoulder and smoked turkey. They were fine and not over seasoned. We appreciated that there was a sign for what they were out of tight when we walked in so we didn’t get our hopes up after looking at the whole menu. The plain ranch dressing was VERY delicious and they said they make it in house. Steak fries seemed to be frozen, not fresh made in house. Cole slaw was really good but tasted like maybe it has dairy? Something to watch ask about if you need to avoid it.
Bathroom: There were pink rings inside the ladies room toilets, which means they’re not bleached weekly, and the toilet was very wobbly.
I hope the kitchen is in better shape than the bathrooms.

Their BBQ meats have a great smoky flavor. Unfortunately, someone decided that adding taco seasonings to the BBQ sauce was a good idea. It is not. I also got macaroni and cheese that I thought was very good. The staff did a great job and were friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is ok.

Not bad, until my husband found a hair in the okra’s coating. The waitress was told it was from a pastry brush. However, none of the brissles of my pastry brushes are that fine. The smoked brisket tasted very good. Having been introduced to BBQ in Kansas City, the sauces were definitely not to my liking. The staff was prompt & courteous. They did deduct the price of the side from our meal, a minor thing for having my husband’s stomach turned while finishing his meal.

Excellent BBQ. A portion of my pulled meat included several selections of crust. My portion contained meat from several sections on the pig. Very moist, full flavor excellent smoke taste. Hush puppies were very good. Cute decor. We will be back.

We eat here often when we are in Wilkesboro. Best BBQ I have ever eaten. Being from Texas I am not the authority on pork, but dang if it is not good. The brisket is just like back home. Smokey with lots of bark. Ribs are probably the best I have ever eaten. Wow. Place has a good feel and staff was very very attentive. Check it out.
