Okra was way over cooked (dark) Beans were super sweet. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.

The girl at the register was struggling....both with my order and the order ahead of me, but she finally got it right. The volume inside was very loud today, I guess partly due to lots of people. I had "lean" brisket, collards , fried okra and sweet tea. I had one good piece of lean meat, but the rest was more fat and smaller pieces. The collards were spiced differently than I remembered. I will not get again. The okra was hot, but lacked flavor. Needs some kind of seasoning in the batter. The portion was smaller than last time as well. Another big factor in the decreased stars is the cleanliness of the tables. The table I had to sit at was REALLY disgusting. I cleaned it with a bunch of towels then went to the bathroom and got wet towels and tried again. I saw others wiping down their tables as well. There was no one taking care of the dining room at all the whole time I was there. Not a good experience here this time. The meal was $20 even after a senior discount!

I actually got emotional over the pork BBQ the 1st time I had it. Lets say I'm very far away from being a kid, but the taste and flavor reminded me of being a kid and having fresh homemade BBQ from my grandad. I am born and raised here in a part of town between Raleigh, and Durham. I always felt I'ved had the best in both cities growing up and as an adult. Somehow this place escaped me till a couple of months ago. I've now been 3 or 4 times, and food has been the same each time which is amazing! All my kids, and mom feel the say way. This is a hidden gem unless you already know!! Also first time I went there an older gentleman chatted me up. He made me feel more welcome. He was like me but he already know about this place for a while and was getting a kick out of me just stumbling onto the establishment. Mac, and cheese, Collards, Fried chicken, French-fries, Hush puppies, and the Apple cobbler were all FIRE! Hopefully I'll get to try everything soon. Sorry didn't take any pics because as soon as I got the food I started to eat the food.

Ole Time Barbeque is now on our must list when visiting Raleigh. We stopped by for the first time…read moreand were blown away by how delicious everything was and how friendly and helpful the staff was. I ordered a combo plate of chicken pastry and bbq pork, with sides of fried okra and potato salad. Everything was served piping hot, just as it should be. The Chicken Pastry (chicken and dumplings) had wonderful flavor and was comfort food at its finest with thick and wide chewy noodle dumplings. So often chicken and dumpling dishes can be overly salty but Ole Time Barbecue's was perfectly seasoned. The barbecue pork also had great flavor and also was seasoned perfectly, though unfortunately I can't do even the most mild of spicy, so even tho there were only a few red pepper flakes, they made it a little bit challenging for me to eat. The fried okra was cooked and seasoned perfectly and not at all oily and the potato salad was also really tasty. I also tasted their coleslaw and mac and cheese from Hubs dinner and both were delicious as well. Also loved their sweet tea, I got it 25% sweet . The biggest surprise was the large basket of tasty hush puppies brought to our table the minute we sat down, and refilled. Also delicious and seasoned perfectly. The location is very homey and diner like, with just a handful of tables so you may have to wait, though luckily we didn't. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was they served their sides in styrofoam containers versus reusable dishes like they use for their main courses. I do love that they're using reusable dishes for their mains so it seems like they could also do this for their sides. Less trash for the restaurant and better for the world... .

I was trying to find places in the area that did dim sum and ended up seeing this place that did both dim sum AND kbbq, which I was intrigued by. You mostly order everything via tablet, and everything gets sent over pretty fast. (Shout-out to the kind and very efficient servers!) They had a great assortment of different cuts, meats, and seasonings for the kbbq and all the classic dim sum dishes. The one dish I would personally pass on is the xiao long bao (soup dumplings), only because I think the filling needed a little salt/seasoning. And the ones I would absolutely order again are the seafood pancake, curry chicken, and BBQ short rib... Actually, I would reorder just about everything we had plus some more that we missed out on! For the cherry on top, they had little ice cream cups to finish the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be returning!

You use an iPad to order and they have a lot of great meat and side options to choose from. This was my first time doing KBBQ so I don't know all the names but, the beef and pork cuts were all delicious. The BBQ ones were my favorites. The crab rangoons and sesame balls were also delicious! They have ice cream you can grab before you leave which is a fun addition as well. Overall, great restaurant with great food we will be back!

We had just landed in North Carolina and wanted to try some authentic NC BBQ fresh off the plane. As soon as we walked in, I told my wife, "This place reminds me of Mission BBQ back home"--nothing special, just a chain dressing up the BBQ experience. Unfortunately, I was right. The burnt ends were mediocre, and the half chicken was so dry I couldn't even finish my beer. Instead, I asked for two more cups of water. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super friendly and personable. Honestly, he was the best part of the BBQ joint--other than the pickles. Yelp recommended this place and another soul food spot up the street. Next time, I'll go with my gut instead of trusting the stars.

Others got pork, some just got veggies because they have a great selection. The tea is wonderful too. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table quickly and with a smile. My favorite bbq place in this area.

I went with the two meat, combo plate with turkey breast and pulled pork. The turkey was tasty, and the pulled pork was pretty good. Both were helped by the sauces. And a couple of the sauces had a nice little spicy kick. The side of collard greens and field peas that I had were straight out of a can. A good BBQ place but not great. More reasonable prices than most joints. I'll probably come back again to try some of their other meats.

They moved, and we were genuinely upset, because they were SO CLOSE to us. Yesterday, we had to drive half an hour to get there, but, again, it did not disappoint. The wings NEVER disappoint. The brisket sando was so good, and you never need BBQ sauce. It's moist, it can be messy, and the taste is always on point.

We started with the pimento cheese balls, which were super cheesy and delicious. They also brought out biscuits and hush puppies, and those were perfect to start the meal. For the kids, we ordered a hot dog with fries, mac and cheese with fries, and a cheeseburger with fries. All of the kids loved their meals. The fries were really good (even I enjoyed them!), and the mac and cheese was definitely the favorite. The adults ordered a double combo with pulled pork and brisket, and it was big enough to easily split between two people. My husband and I both got the Pit bacon cheeseburger, and it was so good and huge. I ended up taking half home for later. My husband also got mac and cheese and shared it with the kids, while I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. The staff was really friendly, and everything came out nicely.
