    BBQ Plate
    Nate H.

    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.

    Hush puppies, slaw, fries, pulled pork - no bun.  Perfect vacation food...

    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?"

    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...

    Been coming here since I was a kid, good eats!

    Stopped on my way thru Marion NC for lunch on Main St. Good Yelp reviews brought me to Bruce's…read moreFabulous Foods. A small town lunch cafe with everything "fabulous" you would hope to find. To start with you a greeted by Barb who treats locals and new visitors like long time friends. Table service or a bar counter you can sit out. Barb explains the menu and their customers favorites (including The Reuben and their homemade Pimento Cheese) a choice of 1 side from the daily specials and a complimentary brownie or cookie for dessert. They do not have a fryer so all menu items are prepared fresh. I had a Reuben Sandwich and pasta salad. (The sides are large!) We chose to split the Reuben since we have early dinner reservations and each got a side. Even at 1/2 the sandwich and side it was very filling. The sandwich was hot and delicious.

The place was packed on this Monday lunch time and we had a 20 minute wait before we were seated. Understandable because it's great stuff. A cheeseburger for me and the quiche of the day for Mrs. K. My burger was cooked properly and presented well with a side of very creamy cole slaw. Delicious. The quiche was delicious and the cucumber salad with it was both tart and sweet. Perfection. Of course, cheesecake for dessert. Mrs. K. got to enjoy mine as I'm going a low carb so I got to watch her enjoy the Crème brûlée slice now and the New York went into a box for later. It didn't survive the day, getting eaten at home a few hours later. Service was busy and friendly. My only complaint is that the sweet tea was very weak. Sweet enough just not "tea" enough. A very minor problem. [Round number 24200 overall - 639 of 2025 - 4127 in North Carolina]

We were greeted by every single one with a smile and happy energy, despite how busy the place was. There are so many times when you sit at a bar unnoticed and patiently wait for someone to look your way, but this was the opposite of that. Our drinks were ice cold and served super fast. We didn't try any food, but they do have a small menu of bar bites that sounded really good. My cider was crisp, and not too sweet. It seemed to be "the spot", because there were lots of people but we didn't have any trouble finding seating. Lots of people had their dogs with them, which is always a plus!!

It is very enjoyable to sit on the covered deck and enjoy the small stream that runs along the side of the brewery. There is parking across the street and in the field across the stream. There is some street upgrades in progress in front of the entrance that may limit access to the parking lot across the stream. These improvements should be completed soon. I highly recommend this business for a relaxing and enjoyable outing. I am sure you will be pleased with the experience.

Their deli sandwiches were spectacular. We tried the caprese, turkey and chicken salad versions - all great. Full bar inside too for tipsy shopping. For breakfast we had egg sandwiches and biscuits and gravy - excellent, no notes. Staff and owners very friendly and efficient. Dog friendly patio was a plus (hi Cooper!).
