McDowell County staple. Great burgers, hot dogs, hushpuppies, fried pickles, and more. Great prices. The wait time can get long because they get fairly busy but it's worth the wait. read more

So good! Ate our burgers too fast for a pic but they were huge, thick patties. Onion rings are fantastic and huge servings. Order at the window and wait for your number outside or in your car. read more

Looks pretty sketchy and could be much cleaner, but the food is always great for what it is as long as you're not going there for a healthy option read more

Best burgers, BBQ in the county! I have enjoyed eating there for the past 30 years. (YES 30 Years)

Great burger and BBQ sandwiches. Awesome fries. Quick service. It satisfied all in our group from 4 to 62!

This is a pretty cool little place on Main Street in Marion. It is a stand alone with some outdoor seating, but it seems most people just grab to go or eat in their cars. They have a couple of different options: BBQ, Hot Dogs, Burgers, and other typical BBQ joint dishes. I went with the BBQ Plate, so that is what most of this review will pertain to. The BBQ Plate was around $8, if I remember correctly. It came with a big pile of pork BBQ, hushpuppies, fries, and slaw. The BBQ came presauced and they also included some individual packets of Texas Pete. The BBQ was kind of odd. I feel like some of these areas through the mountains don't stick to a traditional Eastern or Lexington style. The BBQ wasn't really chopped, minced, or pulled. It was just kind of just a pile of pork. Hard to explain. The sauce wasn't really much of anything. I guess I would describe it as tangy. No smokiness to speak of. The BBQ wasn't terrible. It just definitely isn't something I would go out of my way for. The fries were very good and crispy, and the slaw was alright. The hushpuppies were probably the worst part. They were so dry that I couldn't even finish off a whole one without drying out my whole mouth. We ended up getting some apple sticks and ice cream for dessert. The apple sticks were basically baked apples with fried battered around them. They were very good, especially with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream that they serve is the type that you got in the cafeteria as a kid. I'm talking about the kind in the little styrofoam tub with a wooden tab to eat it with. May have been the nostalgia, but it tasted really good. This hut shares a parking lot with a gas station, and if you want to use the bathroom, you'll have to use the gas station's (Hut's bathroom was out of order when we went). There are a couple of tables where you can eat beside the hut. The employees were friendly and this place has some local charm to it. The Bar-B-Que Hut is not something that I would go out of my way for, but if you are traveling through Marion, it is a better option than all of the chain fast food that is in the area. Also, I think that if I came back, I would opt for the burger. That seemed to be what most of the locals ordered. read more

Iconic restaurant in Marion. Recommend Hut Burger or Chuckwagon. Classic NC burger is mustard, slaw and chili,

Bought 6 pork sandwiches and tater tots. Ordered slaw on the sandwiches. Not a single one had the coleslaw and tater tots were barely cooked. The meat was dried out and tasteless. Onion rings were greasy. Hush puppies were the only decent thing in the order. Avoid this place!! read more

Very good hush puppies and pulled pork. It is definitely a hut, so take out is necessary as there's no tables to sit and eat. It's worth the ride. Local people suggested here when we asked " Where do you go for barbecue?" read more

Bar-B-Que Hut - Hush puppies, slaw, fries, pulled pork - no bun. Perfect vacation food... - Sandwiches Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

The burgers and fries (extra crispy) are amazing!! Everything is cooked to order and fresh!! Would recommend this place to everybody. It's a hole in the wall but definitely worth stopping by!! Delicious read more

Very excited to try this place. Was definitely packed. Cars pull in, cars pull out. I peeked through the order window and there had to have been 40 burgers (hand formed) cooking on the grill at once. Service was quick and friendly, Yes, they do accept credit cards. The prices are very good, especially when there's a special. I only paid $5.50 for a large BBQ sandwich, fries and a drink. The sandwich comes with slaw and pickles on it. The barbeque was good, average to maybe a little better than average. What I didn't like was the giant super soft sesame seed bun it was served on. The crinkle cut fries were crispy and hot, just like I like them. The outside dining area was pretty grubby and could have used a good wipe down. As I was leaving I couldn't help thinking that maybe, based on the number of burgers cooking, that I should have gotten a burger... read more

Me and my family were passing through this town and we all agreed that these shack type places usually have amazing food. Seeing how busy they were we decided to try them, and im glad we did. The BBQ was amazing, the hush puppies were proably the best ive ever had!!! A local recommend we try the steak nuggets and it was the best thing I've never tried before!!! The prices and quality, and quantity is well worth it!!!! read more

Not my favorite.. It was great until about 5 yrs ago.. Not a very clean place, cold food.. Burgers are cooked early morning an reheated. Bbq is made in a shed out back. Workers walk around with gloves on and do not change them. Not a place i will revisit read more

Been coming here as long as I remember. We have been moved out of the area for almost 10 years, and visit the BBQ Hut every time we come back to visit family and friends. They are famous for their "Hut Burger", but several years ago I discovered their club sandwich and they are scrumptious. Keep up the good work BBQ Hut!!! read more

Just awful! I make it a habit to visit BBQ joints when I'm on hiking trips. I've had some good and some okay. This was bottom shelf here. Pulled pork BBQ should be smokey. This had no smoke taste. Most proper restaurants provide you wish sauce. This was already sauced and the sauce had no flavor just like the meet. The onion rings were limp and not crispy. The hushpuppies tasted like deep fried flavorless loaf bread. Nobody in my party of three cared for the food nor could be bothered to finish their meal. Most of it went in the trash where it belonged. read more

My first time trying their food was almost ten years ago and I fell in love!!! Every time I come threw I stop and get a pulled pork sandwich their the best!!!!! read more

Some of the best BBQ you will find in Marion. Definitely worth a try. But be ware, they do not take credit cards.

Being from the northeast and being a west coast transplant...I wasn't too sure what a "bbq sandwich" was. As the term BBQ could be anything. Apparently down south the term BBQ is specifically pulled pork. The sauce was just sweet enough. Nothing too overwhelming. The pork was chopped but still tender. If you're in the area and need a quick solid BBQ sandwich this is the place. read more

Love this place! Great place if you're looking for something fast but not fast food. Great hospitality and a cute little hut and awesome food! read more

There is a sign up at the BarBQue Hut saying that they accept debit and credit cards, so the policy must have changed. Good prices, 1 lb BBQ for $6.99! read more

Grew up in Chicago area. Plenty of good food. Spent 6 years in western Kentucky. Everyone said to try BBQ Hut. I got 1# of BBQ, some tatersalad and fries to take home. The BBQ really lacked flavor. The sauce was very bland. I think ketchup has more flavor. Glad I had the old standby Sweet Baby Rays. Maybe people from N.C. like it, but I'll have to find another place for BBQ. The fries and tatersalad were good. Average. Next time I'll have to try the burger like someone else said. Also the outside looked like they could care less about it. Hope the inside doesn't look the same. Of course I have eaten in some dives in Chicago that had the best food. Maybe the burgers will redeem them. read more

awesome! BBQ heaven! And they changed their fries and they are so good now

I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Worst bbq I've ever had. I think the BBQ was cooked in a crock pot, drowned in a sweet sloppy joe like sauce. Even the hush puppies weren't good. You should know that this is a road side restaurant with 3 tables outside that you can eat at. So if you looking for a place to go inside and eat, this isn't it. read more

Just simple, cheap food that actually tastes good. Bbq sammich is good, potato salad is great, hut burger is massive and delicious.

As a local I eat here once a week if not more. Never had no problems. Best food anywhere. Put your big boy pants on if you want the double burger. It's a meal by itself. read more

Oh gosh. This stuff was good. Just be prepared for this roller coaster of a dining experience. You'll start off mildly curious, but before you know it you're digging your face into pounds of classic barbecue fixins. You'll end your ride miserably full and not proud of the pork massacre you just witnessed. But hey at least you decided to look past that half-rate KFC up the road, and to that I say well done. read more
