    I stopped at Danny's Bar-B-Que for lunch. It is located near the Wake Med Cary hospital. There are two entrances to the restaurant and both will lead you to the counter to order. After you order and pay, you find a seat and your food is brought out to you. The dining area is a good size and the sauces are on the table so you can try a bunch of them. If you need a drink refill, you just take your cup back to the counter. I went with the chopped pork plate and chose fries and a half of corn on the cob. It came with a slice of Texas toast. I'd return and try some other items on the menu.

    Blackberry cobbler & lemonade.

    Have been coming here since it first opened & owner on site. Miss it being in MORRISVILLE! The portions of pork have decreased & price increased. I still love the sweet bbq sauce the best & the baked beans. Remember to ask for your Texas toast to be toasted on both sides. The blackberry cobbler doesn't have the great taste I recall. Waitresses still very nice. Park on the back side as front side parking has other store front names listed.

    Our meal for lunch.

    The smoked meats here are absolutely delicious!!! I had the brisket and chicken. Collard greens were ok (too many stems). The backed beans were delicious also. The banana pudding was good (only one slice of banana is the cup). The down side is the food is pricey.

    Service was great. Order at counter and pay before sitting down. Green beans were really good. Turkey was decent.

    I ended up here after a horrible experience at O Charley's. They made for a nice save! Simple place, but the food was good. I was looking for more of a after work hang out so I took the food to go and walked to a nearby bar. The brisket sandwich was great in the most simple way. Good fries! And the price was more than reasonable.

    Bottom line: I had a good beef brisket plate for lunch recently at Danny's Bar-B-Que. Do not be daunted by the line to the counter to order as the turn around time in getting your meal once ordered is pretty quick. Delicious results, and I am a fan! The Deets: I had the chance to finally visit Danny's Bar-B-Que for lunch recently with a group. There is plenty of parking around a corporate part/shopping center area. Once inside, there is ample seating available both in booth and table formats, some large enough for a small group. Customers queue up and wait in line to go up to the counter to order at the register, and while you are in line you get to peruse their rather sizeable menu up on the wall. There was a little bit of a wait to get to place the order as the line was good sized but it was not a horrible wait time. All sorts of Southern delights are available on their menu such as pulled pork barbeque, beef brisket, chicken tenders, chicken wings, turkey breast, smoked chicken, pork spare ribs, even catfish and beer battered cod on the menu. When I got to the counter, my choice was the small beef brisket plate with two sides and Texas toast (I always imagine in my head the pronunciation being "Tex-uz" and don't ask me why). I chose as my two sides the creamy cole slaw and French fries. We took our seat at our table and I have to say, turnaround time to get the food was really quick, a definite plus for lunch time goers. My beef brisket was pretty tasty and not dried out for the most part, very good, and enhanced by the availability of the different type of barbeque sauces available on the table such as sweet, hot, mustard style, etc. I recommend use of the sauces to maximize your taste experience here. The sides of cole slaw and French fries were equally good as well. I can see why many people I know say that you need to stop by Danny's Bar-B-Que if you have not done so, and I am glad I finally did.

Unfortunately, my visit to the Cary location on Mother's Day was extremely disappointing. My wife, children, and I visited for dinner, and as someone who is currently 8 1/2 months pregnant, I was especially looking forward to a pleasant dining experience. Upon arrival, we were not greeted, and throughout our visit our server, Anasha, provided very limited service compared to what I have come to expect from this restaurant. Our drinks were never refilled, the grill was never changed, and unused plates were left stacked at the end of our table for the duration of our meal. Because the grill was not changed, there was excessive smoke and much of the food tasted burnt or overly charred, which made the experience even more uncomfortable. I also noticed the manager seated at a nearby table eating and talking on the phone during service, which appeared unprofessional given the lack of attention to customers in the dining area. Before leaving, I addressed these concerns with the woman at the front and asked to speak with the manager, only to be told that she herself was the manager. The response I received was simply, "Oh, I'm sorry," with no further effort to address the situation. This was by far the worst experience I have had at any Gens location, which was especially disappointing on Mother's Day.

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... .

We were seated right away, and the customer service set the tone from the start. Our server was warm, attentive, and especially great at explaining how the dim sum works here. She did not just tell us; she actually demonstrated it, shared cooking tips, and made us feel completely comfortable jumping in. She checked on us often, and the rest of the staff was also wonderfully attentive without being overbearing. The food came out quickly. One of the best parts of the meal was being able to order steak, chicken, shrimp, and lots of vegetables, then cook everything just the way we liked it. It made the meal feel interactive, fun, and special. For my daughter and me, it was not just dinner -- it was an experience we got to create together. A heads-up for first-timers: there is a two-hour table limit since it is all-you-can-eat, and they do charge a fee for excessive waste. As long as you are reasonable and order what you can realistically eat, you should be totally fine. $39 per person. Thanks to Five Spice for a memorable mother-daughter experience.
