I can tell this is a local spot. The restaurant was steady busy while we had our dinner. I got the chopped plate with white slaw and my boyfriend got a chopped sandwich with spicy slaw. They were out of sliced by the time we got there. The BBQ was a little too wet for my taste. But the slaw was really good. I'm not from the south and don't really like sweet things, so the hush puppies were not really my thing but the boyfriend ate them and said they were ok. I would say an ok place to stop for a quick bite but I probably won't be going back.

The place was very clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. I love the breakfasts made here but they had just switched to lunch. So, I and a friend ordered lunch from the grill. The food had a good taste. It was made like we had asked. Still, we both decided to get something else because the hotdogs were so cold the cheese would not even melt on them. They had just changed over, but there was not a crowd. There were not even 4 patrons in the restaurant. They were not busy. This was a little disappointing. The still make some of the best breakfast dishes around. I am certain I would have loved

Typical BBQ joint with the usual suspects. We ordered a chopped pork tray and a sliced pork sandwich. The portions were large and my sandwich was quite hefty. Bargain, IMO.
The staff was friendly and the wait was average for lunch. A couple of strikes, however, was my pork was dry and lacking flavor. The sauce couldn't rescue it, either. Bummer.
Should you find yourself in King, NC look 'em up. Maybe your experience will outshine mine. Whirlable.

The staff is friendly, but the food is lacking. Last time I went, it was to pickup a to-go order. The BBQ was cold in the center of the container, one fry & the BBQ slaw was missing. I was tired, so didn't bother calling to complain. I knew they would just want me to come pickup what wasn't included, but I didn't want to go back out. We haven't been back since.

My wife and I went yesterday morning for breakfast, I was really disappointed. Portions were big, but scrambled eggs were like from a cafeteria line, hard and rubbery. I asked for toast and it was cold and really barely toasted. Everyone huddles around the pickup window so getting to drink refills is difficult. Breakfast served on a paper plate and rubber eggs is not what I was expecting.
OBTW, the bacon was excellent.

We had a great visit. I was originally a little skeptical because the menu on the website is somewhat limited. But when we arrived, we found the menu was pretty extensive. The ladies behind the counter were very nice and we had a few laughs with them. I had a coarse chopped plate with fries, cole slaw and hushpuppies. My friend had a grilled cheese. Everything was very good and I must admit that i was pleasantly surprised after reviewing the limited information on the internet. Very nice.

I got the Chopped bbq tray. This place is a hidden gem! Delicious, smoked, tender pork. So full of flavor. Smokey and sweet. The hush puppie rings were crunchy and dough was soft and sweet. Almost like a handful of crispy doughnuts with ur bbq pork. And the slaw was perfect, not too sour and not too sweet, with a fresh crisp. This big plate was only $6.50!

First time going to this BBQ joint - been meaning to go to it for awhile. Parking was limited but I when I went it was passed the dinner rush so no problems. Plenty of seating and clean tables. Bathrooms were pretty clean - as to be expected.
Orderethe BBQ plate with mashed potatoes/ gravy and white slaw. I was really in the mood for Mac & Cheese but they were all out. The staff were pretty friendly and the food came out quick and hot. Food was pretty good. Overall it was 5 star service and good food. However since they were out of Mac & Cheese I'm rating a 4 star.

If I was rating their BBQ, I would give it 3.5 stars. My wife will bring a family pack (BBQ, slaw and hushpuppies) home for dinner on occasion, and it is pretty good. But for breakfast, you must try a tenderloin biscuit. It is "dynamite!" Try a tenderloin breakfast plate. Two pieces of tenderlion, 2 eggs, 2 biscuits and gravy. (I just started slobbering on my keyboard!)
