All the food was great but the potato salad is beyond delicious. I would drive two hours to buy it again.

Great spot right off the highway, a very nice place to stop and be introduced to some Georgia BBQ…read more We picked up a couple of pulled pork sandwiches, we opted for the "big boy" which is an 8 oz. serving of pork. It was plenty of food, but it made the sandwich a bit dry, which is not common as we have had plenty of sandwiches in GA and they tend to be pretty wet. The sauce was good, then again we needed more than usual because of the meat ratio. You live and you learn type of situation for me. The fries were good, and the mac was tops.

The best barbecue almost always comes from those unassuming hole in the wall places. My inner voice…read moreof confidence, the one that says "it's gonna be great," was already humming before I even stepped inside. At first glance, I wondered what exactly this industrial looking neighborhood had to do with good food. Still, I parked, walked in, and was immediately greeted by the unmistakable aroma of meat that had been slow smoking all day long. A very kind older lady welcomed me and explained that the buffet was all-you-can-eat for just $17. That sounded easy enough. I grabbed a plate and began my journey down the line. There were the staples: rice, collard greens, fried okra, hush puppies. Then came the showstoppers. A massive tray of mac & cheese, golden fried chicken, barbecue chicken, and pulled pork that looked like it had been tended with care. Oh, my. Off to the side sat squeeze bottles of sauce and ketchup, flanked by potato salad, cole slaw, and two varieties of pickles that added a crisp counterpoint to the richness of the meats. I ate far more than I intended, but every bite was worth it. The mac & cheese was excellent, very cheesy and full of flavor. Maybe not quite as good as when Mrs. K. blesses me with her recipe, but still, excellent. The barbecue chicken was moist and seasoned just right. The pulled pork was some of the best I have had, with a few larger pieces mixed in that gave it texture and depth. It was so good it really didn't need any sauce at all. If desserts were offered, I didn't see them. A small scoop of banana pudding would have tied the whole experience together in a perfect knot. Even without it, this was a five-star meal in my book. Yum, and then yum again. [Review 1512 of 2025 - 1366 in South Carolina - 25063 overall]

This was so good and juicy. It had just the right amount of sauce, not too heavy or too light. It was perfect:) The broccoli was nice and fresh. Omg, the hush puppies were amazing! My husband ordered the Chili the Kid Tacos. The meat he chose was chicken. He stated it had a little spice with a sweet aftertaste. This he loved! The chicken was tender and full of guacamole, pickled onions and salsa. He also ordered Spanish rice and beans to make his meal complete. Everything was prepared well. Customer service was great. The ambiance was well lit, and the restaurant was clean. We enjoyed everything to the last drop!

A Sad Decline from a Local Legend…read more Carolina BBQ used to be the place. Back in the day, everyone knew about it -- people would drive from all over just to get a plate. Now? I wouldn't drive across the street for it. The food has lost every bit of the flavor that made it famous. The BBQ is bland, fatty, and feels like it's been sitting around waiting for someone to remember what seasoning is. The potato salad? Completely flavorless -- someone forgot that mustard exists. And the hush puppies, once crispy little bites of heaven, now taste like fried bread that gave up halfway through. And all that grease makes it slide right thru. It's honestly sad to see a local legend fall this far. The place that used to set the standard for good southern BBQ now feels like it's coasting on nostalgia alone. Carolina BBQ didn't just lose its spark -- it lost its taste, too. And the parking lot? Please save your tires and park elsewhere. I have attached a picture for reference.
