REDD'S SAMPLER REVIEW (Includes two sides and cornbread)…read more Here's what I ordered and my honest ratings: Sweet Tea - 7/10 Good, but not quite that true Southern sweet tea flavor. Collard Greens - 7/10 A little more tangy than I prefer, but still decent. 1/4 Rack of Ribs - 8/10 Great flavor, just not falling off the bone like I personally like. Beef Brisket - 8/10 A different cut than I'm used to, but still flavorful. French Fries - 10/10 Crispy, hot, and easily the standout. Cornbread - 7/10 Didn't try it this time, but from a previous visit it leans a bit dry. Parking: Street parking available. It wasn't hard to find--we only had to walk about a block. Accessibility: There are steps to get to the second level (about two steps), so something to keep in mind. Amenities: There is a bathroom that's spacious and clean, with a changing table and wipes, which is a big plus. Atmosphere and Service: The staff was incredibly engaging and worked really well together. Depending on when you go, they may also have a small market set up. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, especially when it came to the service and overall environment.

There were covered tables outside, for seating, and a food truck was set up next to the entertainment. We were looking for a local place to get a quick, late lunch. We really enjoyed the setting, on the old Main Street of Mocksville, NC. We looked over the menu for the food truck and decided to give it a try. We ordered the BBQ chicken, BBQ spare rib sandwich, and potato salad along with the macaroni and cheese, for our 2 sides. Because of an arrangement with the bar/store, we weren't able to purchase our drinks from them, but they did have a variety of sodas, water, and alcoholic drinks. Everything was delicious. I am not a big fan of red tomato BBQ sauce but the sauce was sweet, thick and tasty. The meat slid off the bones, and was very tender. We loved the potato salad, too. I guessed most of the ingredients, but there was something else in the salad that boosted the flavor! When asked what else she put in the salad, Kay responded, "the special ingredient is "LOVE." Eric and Kay, the owners, were great. They were friendly, answered all our questions about the food, and where they can be found in the area. Their phone number is included so you can find out where they are usually set up. With the increased prices for anything connected with food, it was a little high, but in line with all the other food trucks in our Piedmont, NC area. We recommend this mobile restaurant for anyone who loves BBQ and eating outside, on-the-go, or to take home! Thank you to Eric and Kay for adding to the enjoyment of our day out.

We are fans of food trucks in general because of the unique experience they provide, the random foods you can try and we like to support the little guys! My wife and I both ordered the pulled pork sandwich and she also had the macaroni salad. The pulled pork was just okay, nothing amazing. It was bland and they don't offer and extras like slaw. There was nothing that made it stand out. There was a lot of pork on the sandwich though which was good. My wife really loved the macaroni salad, it was flavorful and yummy! We did not try anything else but the other couple we were with said they tried the pork nachos before we got there but didn't like them. They said they felt it was made with canned cheese sauce and did not have much pork. Our food was ready within a few minutes of ordering which is good fast service.

Our server was attentive and did a pretty good job of taking care of us. The only 'ding' that I will give this place is that the restaurant owner and some of his staff members and friends were very loud while working on their beer vats. They showed no consideration for their customers and, instead, seemed to be oblivious to the fact that most people eating in their restaurant wouldn't want to spend their lunchtime raising their voices just so that the person they were dining with could hear them. These guys were so loud and boisterous that, a few times, we just gave up on trying to chat with one another because there was zero chance that we could comfortably speak loudly enough to hear each other.

I've been to many of the local bars and so far I still say the BBQ Tavern is my favorite! Very friendly service and fast too. I got everything I've order very promptly and everything was great! The food is delicious and the drinks taste the way they should. Me personally I love the atmosphere the bar gives too. Its the kind of bar that I want to go to to wind down and just have a good time. I've been coming here for years and will continue to come here for many more. Thanks for the great service and food! Looking forward to coming back. read more

This place has the feel of a true Sports Bar, with several TV's above the bar. Not like our former place, where you have to break your neck to watch whatever is on behind you, which is usually Impractical Jokers, which is stupid. Our drinks were ice cold, and stronger than our old place. That makes me wonder if the old place waters down their alcohol, since I've heard others say it too. But would definitely recommend if you don't have any issues with a diverse crowd. Other than the TouchTunes blocking certain artists from being played, this place is cool.

I started with a 1794 Old Fashioned, which was good enough that I had a second one with dinner. My wife had a Pinot Noir. I had originally planned on ordering the 14 oz. bone-in ribeye, but after seeing that prime rib was offered as a Friday and Saturday special, I decided to try the Molly Pitcher English-cut prime rib prepared 1794 style with the extra grilling. Unfortunately, about five minutes after ordering, I was told they had sold out. I went back to my original choice of the ribeye, ordered medium rare, with Yukon Smash and the seasonal vegetable, which that evening was corn on the cob. The ribeye was tender and flavorful and cooked the way I wanted it. My wife had the chicken pot pie and enjoyed it, although she thought it could have used a little more butter. Desserts are presented verbally rather than on a printed menu. I had the bourbon apple blondie while my wife chose the skillet cookie, which was topped with ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Both were very good. The restaurant is located inside the Comfort Inn and literally occupies the same space where the hotel's breakfast is served each morning. From our table I could even see the small refrigerator used for the breakfast yogurts, so the setting doesn't provide quite the same atmosphere as a standalone restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and I would consider returning when we're back for Corvettes at Carlisle next year. I'd probably make an earlier reservation next time so I could finally try the prime rib.

Pitt Street Station offers a number of items that would work for vegetarians and gluten free…read morepatrons. As for vegans, well, there isn't much. Thankfully the restaurant is willing to accommodate (like leaving the cheese off a pizza) so there are vegan items to be crafted. It would just be cool if there were one or two items designed with vegans in mind. So, after some hocus pocus work, I decided on The Puttanesca Pizza and a non-alcoholic Cinnamon Vanilla Mule. The Puttanesca Pizza typically features olive tapenade, house tomato sauce, shaved Romano and rosemary gremolata. The waitress said it would be no problem to leave off the Romano. The Cinnamon Vanilla Mule contains cinnamon-vanilla syrup and ginger beer. Thankfully no substitutions needed here. The pizza at Pitt Street Station is bar style. A thin, chewy crust with the toppings layered on top. I found the crust to be pretty good. I like the combo of tapenade and house tomato sauce but did find it a tad salty. Can't imagine what it is like with the Romano added in. The Cinnamon Vanilla Mule was very good. I liked the balance of all the components. It was cool to see some non alcoholic cocktails on the menu and to have them be really good. I would return to Pitt Street Station if meeting up with someone because the place is accommodating to dietary needs but until some actual vegan items are on the menu it won't be somewhere I seek out on my own.
