Bar-b-que Hut is an iconic establishment, in my opinion, and I am glad to be able to come here once again. Conveniently located near Fayetteville technical community college, this is one of the rear places that I get sweet tea with my meal. My go to meal is a barbecue sandwich with slaw, hush puppies, and a sweet tea. When I arrived, the line was out the door, and I waited patiently for my turn to go inside the building. By the time it was my turn to order, the line was still outside the building, and I don't know at what point it got any smaller. This is the type of restaurant where you go to the window inside to place your order, retrieve your food once it's ready from the window, and go back to the window when you need refills on tea. The restaurant has a mix of hard back booths and tables with chairs, so they are good for small groups or parties of six. Although, a construction crew did come in while I was there and took up half the restaurant. They have a single restroom for women and a single restroom for men on the exterior of the restaurant, which I was leery to use at first, due to past experiences with external bathrooms, but I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it was. I love this place, and it has been and will continue to be my go to place for barbecue and Fayetteville read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Barbecue sandwich, hush puppies, and a sweet tea. - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience due to poor customer service. When calling in our order, the person on the phone was extremely rude. When we arrived to pick up the order, the same rude behavior continued in person. We asked to speak with the owner, and the woman assisting us stated that she was the owner. When we explained that the person who took our order over the phone was rude, she responded by saying that we were "lucky" she even allowed us to place an order because they "don't normally place orders," which is simply not true, we have placed orders here many times in the past without issue. Customer service was unprofessional both on the phone and in person. Regardless of how busy a business may be, customers should be treated with respect. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression. We gave them 3 stars because the food was good... read more

After 30 years visiting The Barbeque Hut when in Fayetteville, the product is decidedly mid now. I got the large bbq sandwich with slaw. The meat was a little bland (like I remember) but the large bun was flavorless and had a dry texture. The vinegar sauce barely helped. The assemblage was unimpressive. Rather than get fries, decided to go with baked beans instead. What I got was a half-cup container of canned food service baked beans. No extra effort appeared to be added - quite disappointing. Nothing was wrong with the server or speed of service. After all these years, it's time for me to switch up. I appreciate the desire to keep prices low and attainable, but I'm at a stage that paying a bit more for a better product is fine. Smithfield would be a one notch improvement. It'll try out Mission BBQ on my next trip. I'll pay more, but I'll probably get a product more to my liking. So sad for Barbeque Hut now. read more

Barbeque hut is a national treasure. I've been eating here for 30 years and it has been consistently delicious. The restaurant is clean, the staff is pleasant, and the food is very and delicious. I will always stop by the barbeque hut every time I'm in Fayetteville! read more

Food is always hot and delicious. Service is great. They are very friendly and attentive. Dining area is small but always clean and quiet to enjoy delicious food. Highly recommend! read more

Ok. I have been to this location for lunch a few times lately and when we first moved to Fayetteville in (2005), BBQ Hut use to have the best tasting chicken and BBQ. Well those days are long gone as well as the quality of the food. I came by for dinner this evening and ordered a combination chicken and bbq plate. Everything on my plate tasted as if it was leftovers from lunch. I ordered 2 thighs because they are normally the juiciest part of the chicken; well these pieces are dry and crumbly. They tasted like old grease. Even the bbq did not look right nor have a fresh taste. (Please see the picture) The guy at the window who took my order was nice, however I feel that they gave me old food because it was in a covered box and they take for granted that we will not check the box (and I didn't until I drove home). Huge disappointment. It's too many competing bbq places in Fayetteville for me to say I will return. I really hate getting ripped off and that's how I felt when I got home! read more

I do love these Fried Pork Chops! They are so flavorful. All the fixings are so good, too. This is the only place I eat pork chops. My hubby loves their BBQ too. I have been to both the Ft. Bragg Road location and the Owen Drive one. Highly recommend always. read more

The vinegar sauce is very good. Saturday to go order, pork only; no sides. Meat had zero smoke flavor. Could see no smoke billowing from anywhere. Not sure if the meat was even smoked at all. Everyone in my group agreed this was a pretty sad excuse for barbecue. read more

First time tying this place and not at all impressed. How can you call it BBQ if there is no sauce on the meat. All the while, bun is saturated and cannot use even if I wanted to add bbq sauce at home. Boo this man! read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - No bbq sauce and saturated bun! Wow. - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Best BBQ and chicken! Hands down best food around and the best BBQ I've ever had. Staff and owner are wonderful people who go above and beyond for the community! Definitely get you some banana pudding when you go as well! read more

I had some $10 vouchers and I wanted to use them and they got mad because we didn't know you have to tell them before you order keep in mind first time there and first time using a voucher but real rude won't eat there again! read more

Came here because other Yelpers rated it highly. The best part of the "HUT" is the incredible value. If you have a hunger pang bigger than your wallet, the BH will fix it. Ordered a BBQ platter, fried chicken platter, a Pork Chop, and two large Sweet Teas for $16 and change. Chicken was excellent, BBQ sandwich was meh, Pork Chop was...well (see picture) HUGEEEEE about the size of a 5x8 Large Index Card!!. Fries were the Sysco bulk order type, hush puppies were decent, coleslaw standard. Probably won't seek this place out again but I will recognize that it is a good place to eat for many people. read more

Long-time family owned business in Fayetteville. Food is really good and prices are good also. If you have not tried them, you are missing out on some good Southern Bar-B-Que. read more

Only reason I gave 2 stars is the okra. It was decent. The portions on the sampler were equivalent to an elementary school cafeteria meal. The pork was terrible. Tasted like canned tuna with vinegar. Don't get me wrong, I love Carolina BBQ, but this was over baked pork, soaked in vinegar. Save yourself the trip, it's poor quality food and I don't think it was an off day. First and last trip read more

Does not properly train new hires then fires them for asking question. Not good business for handicapped employees.

Really good bbq. Friendly folks. I like coleslaw a lot! Potato salad taste somewhat store bought but still ok.

I just discovered this place. So glad that I did. Everything I have tried from the bbq to the fried chicken has been delicious.

Wow. A hidden bbq gem in NC. How is this place not booming?!? My bbq sandwich was phenomenal. Perfect texture and sauce and the best part was how they hot pressed the bun so it was crispy and warm. Awesome!! read more

It's an unassuming place. But it delivers pretty good value for the dollar. No frills to be found here, but really, what are you looking for from your barbecue? The menu is small and clear, and the staff are very friendly even if the service isn't necessarily the fastest. I had a pork sandwich combo and substituted hush puppies for the french fries. The hush puppies were the star of the meal - not too dense and had good flavor. The pulled pork was tender and tasty, but the house barbecue sauce, which is vinegar-based, left a little bit to be desired. I saw some chicken come out while I was there and if I return I think I might give that a try. read more

Service with a grimace. I read the reviews on this place, and after a crushing defeat for my husband's rugby team, we decided we were up for bbq. It was... passable? This place is a dive... That doesn't eliminate anything for us, that's what most bbq joints look like. The staff was... not friendly, helpful, or even really polite. I was pretty surprised to find that kind of attitude in the south. On to the food. The bbq was just adequate. The hush puppies were good, potato salad decent, and cole slaw alright. My husband had baked beans and fries as a side-- beans were from a can and fries from a frozen bag. Disappointing. The bbq itself was... greasy and sweet. Meh. There was also no sauce.. NONE!!! None was offered either. I was afraid to ask after how rude the front folks were. There are far better places out there folks. Find them and enjoy some good bbq. read more

This is actually reviewed elsewhere: http://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-b-que-hut-the-fayetteville-2 They are closed on Sundays, so I didn't get to eat there. But that, and the fact that the restrooms are accessed from outside the building are hints that this is probably a very true south'n bahbayquewe joint. next time, Fayetteville, next time. read more

Consistently good Q, good tea, good service and mice fries. And the nana puddin is legit.

Love, love, love this place. If I didn't have a fear of getting fat or having high cholesterol I'd eat here every day. I only eat here now when I come to Fayetteville. The barbecue is cooked at the Owen Drive location, but it's fresh. The vinegar based sauce is amazing. The sandwich is great with slaw and hot sauce. The hush puppies are house made. Everything is homemade with the exception of the fries. The sweet tea is like instant diabetes but so worth it!!! The deserts are good as well, especially the banana pudding :) if you haven't been, you must go! The atmosphere is that of exactly what the name says, a hut. A quaint dining area and a drive thru. read more

I have been eating at Bar-B-Que Hut basically my entire life. I am in love with their potato salad and I haven't found any like it in town. The staff isn't the friendliest, but hey who cares - the food is still great. When you eat here, you have to remember that we eat vinegar BBQ in this part of NC, so don't expect to get BBQ with a "sauce" from very many local BBQ places. The fried chicken is pretty good and I like the hush puppies. I don't eat slaw but my dad loves Bat-B-Que Hut's slaw. read more

It was ok. Great prices & a very local feel. BUT, I think this place is over rated. We had fried chicken and it was good but definitely not the best in fayettenam. The French fries were very good crinkle cut style and perfectly cooked, but both the hush puppies and chicken tasted like they were sitting around for a while. The potato salad was gross- way too much mustard and pickle relish and hardly any chunks of potato. Nothing else was in there, no chunks of egg, celery or onion- devoid of the good vittles! Anyway, it's a good enough cheap meal, but I honestly think Church's, Popeyes and Bojangles has better fried chicken- plus they have dipping sauces. read more

We ordered a BBQ sandwich lunch special and the ribs lunch special. The ribs were great and fall off the bone. They had a few charred ends BT it was manageable. The BBQ sandwich was ok. I LOVE carolina BBQ but this was a little dry and had weird after taste. It wasn't the best BBQ I've had but it wasn't the worst. If you stop here order the ribs, baked beans and a fresh order of fries! read more

So.. when we drove up to this place, there wasn't too many cars and it was in the middle of nowhere.. So I wasn't too sure about the food, but hey I was already here.. so why not right? hehehe My cousin and I ordered the Pulled pork bbq sandwich. The food came with pork with optional cole slaw in it in hamburger bun. I didn't know what to expect when i ordered it... It was quite interesting. The pork was really tender and not dry. Normally when I eat any type of shredded meat, it's usually dry. You can smell a hint of vinegar in the meat as well. So it was a pleasant surprise. The taste wasn't anything to die for, but i wasn't disappointed. read more

I find the fried chicken a hell of a lot better then the bbq. Just saying. But then again NC bbq sauce is different from where I come from. I'm used to a tomato based bbq sauce, not vinegar. You order at the window and seat yourself. Not the cleaniest place in the world, just don't watch them prepare your food. If I came back, if would be for some fried chicken. read more

WOW!!! We drove for about 30mins off the highway to get to the Bar-B-Que Hut and it was worth every minute. Now please don't be put off by the outside as it does look like a bit of a dive but the food makes up for it. The lady who worked there was so happy and friendly and I still think back to my order of pulled pork with coleslaw & bun with a side of beans. Oh wow, it was so good. Typical North Carolina based pulled pork with vinegar vs. sauce and it was simply delicious. My friend had the hush puppies which were equally delish. WINNER!!!! read more

My mom and I heard about this place while shopping in town. We stopped at the drive-thru on our way home. We got pull pork sandwiches with slaw. They were good and vinegary. I will stop by again and try a platter. read more

Small seating area, local place, excellent food. I had a large plate with pulled pork, hush puppies, collard greens and baked beans. The pulled pork was very good and I liked the vinegar sauce (just what I wanted in North Carolina). Collards were really good, not over-salted and chopped coarsely. Hush puppies were also very good, perfectly cooked. I'm here for 11 weeks and I'll go back here a few times. read more

Best chicken and sweet tea in town! Bbq is good if you like the Eastern NC style. Staff is friendly and location on Ft Bragg Rd is easy access. A must try if you are new to the area. read more

Had the BBQ pork plate. Pork was tender and vinegar-ie. I'm from the north so I really enjoyed the classic Carolina vinegar based BBQ. Loved the almond shaped hushpups, crispy outside, super soft inside. Price-wise, it's ok, but can't beat the all u can eat BBQ price at Sandpiper. In short, pass on Smithfields and try this place. read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

It doesn't look like much, but this place is a pleasant surprise. I'm not the biggest barbecue fan, but my husband swears Barbecue Hut has some of the best around. I'll take his word for it. Fried chicken is more my forte - and Barbecue Hut makes some of the best. I would give 5 stars, but I'm not a huge fan of the selection of sides offered. Their hush puppies are divine, but they're missing mashed potatoes (which should be required of any place that sells fried chicken). read more

Read a few reviews of this place and was EXCITED to eat here. Place was moderately clean, it's a fast food kinda place where you can sit down or drive thru. The staff were all very nice and happy to help as we all had a few questions about the menu. A decent selection of food from chicken, pulled pork and sides. The fried chicken was good. The "Bar B Q" pulled pork however was the complete opposite. To call this Bar B Q is like calling diarrhea mouth wash. The pork had no flavor, had the consistency of pulled pork and visibly looked good. However once it touched my lips the taste of disappointment ran through my taste buds. When I asked for a sauce of any kind I was given "sweet baby rays" bar-b-q sauce in little take out packets. This was my first Carolina Bar B Q but everyone else I've had Bar B Q had their own house made sauce, if not 5 of them. I would never allow anyone, even Alan Burr, to eat this without warning them. Now I did say the selection of sides was decent, however if you want to eat them is another conundrum. The baked beans, poured out of what taste to be a can were horrible. The french fries were those made from the mother who never really loved her son and would serve these to him to quite his hunger. The potato salad was a mush of "stuff". The one worthy thing were the hush puppies, those are quite hard to mess up in my defense if you've ever made them. If asked, I would inform others to not partake in the misadventures of Bar-B-Q here at the Bar-B-Que Hut. read more

The worst BBQ restaurant I've ever been to. The BBQ isn't smoked (which isn't really BBQ) and it tastes like salt and watered down vinegar. The potato salad and cole slaw were obviously store bought and tasted bland. The hush puppies were dry and had no flavor, and the sweet tea tasted burnt. Avoid this place at all costs. If you want good BBQ in fayetteville, then go to fatbacks. read more

If you visit THE BBQ HUTS website it states "Congratulations! You Just Found The Best Barbeque in Fayetteville!!" In bold red letters. If that's true I genuinely feel sorry the the residents of this town or even more so for the proud Men & Women whom serve our Country who have to endure this as their first taste of NCQ. Went for the first (and last) time last evening and I hit the drive thru and ordered a smorgasbord of samplings from the menu as I enjoy seeking out the business's that have been open for many generations. I have no clue how this place made it nearly 50 years this far. The Q was tasteless, dry and reminiscent of sawdust. The baked beans appeared and tasted to be simply be baked pork and beans. The fried chicken as ok but nothing special and was a little on the small side. The food did come quick but we found out why, it had been sitting for a good while, the hush puppies were tough. The only saving grace was the southern yellow potato salad but the sting of having to pay 43¢ for 2 foam plates and plastic silverwear to actually be able to consume the $22 in grub I had just purchased out weighted that by leaps and bounds. I won't visit this restaurant(or its sister location) again. I do bid Military Transplants, and other to please refrain from judging NCQ biased on this place. Take a short road trip to Wilson NC and check out 1 of the 2 NC Icons in town. read more
