    Ribs
    Michelle V.

    We ordered from Dickey's BBQ for a 6:30 pm delivery on Sunday from GrubHub. The food didn't arrive until after 7:00 pm. It arrived cold and required reheating. I ordered a loaded baked potato and it was just awful. Paid $11 for a lump of garbage that I wound up feeding to my chickens. The potato wasn't cooked thoroughly. They loaded it with toppings I didn't ask for, such as onions. They didn't include things I did ask for, like sour cream. (The sour cream pictured on the potato was from my fridge.) Unbelievably disappointed. I wound up eating pieces of the family meal instead. The Mac and cheese was just like kfc. The green beans were mediocre at best. The baked beans reminded me of those bushes canned bake beans. The only tasty thing was the ribs. Meat was so tender, it was falling off the bone, and the bbq sauce was delicious. The meal was supposed to include 6 rolls, but I guess the restaurant didn't get the memo because those were not included. Overall, it was not even close to being worth the $80 I spent on this, and I don't recommend this establishment in any way shape or form. There's so many great bbq places in town, and I recommend any of them above this place hands down.

    Extremely dry brisket.

    My husband and I had a terrible experience when we ordered carry-out here. The order was wrong, some of it not fully cooked and the meat was really dry. The girl taking our order was rude and incompetent. There are plenty of bbq places in town other than this place, so I would recommended avoiding this place. SO DISAPPOINTING!

    The food going in the trash!

    Let me start off by saying I have eaten at dickeys before and I found The food to be OK. The last time I ate at dickeys barbecue I found a red long here in my cookie wrapper. But for some reason I decided to go back today to get the brisket taco and fries. I ordered my food and look to the right and saw the meat just sitting out exposed to all kind of things. I'm from New York so I don't know if that's a southern thing but it's disgusting. I wanted to walk out but I already order my food and my conscience wouldn't let me do that. I couldn't bring myself to eat it so I just threw it away. This will be the last time I ever step foot in that restaurant. $8 wasted!

    There are tons of better barbeque restaurants. Overpriced, unseasoned food. Their chicken is oversmoked, their pork is undersmoked.

We chose the outside patio area. First we ordered a rack of baby backs for $40 with two sides. Ribs cooked to perfection. Broccoli salad the best I've ever had.

The restaurant had indoor seating, along with a large outdoor area with plenty of tables. We headed inside, got into a relatively short line, and tried to figure out the ordering process, which was a little confusing at first. We eventually figured it out. One thing on the menu caught my attention: "Moink balls," which were described as bacon-wrapped meatballs. When I asked the server what kind of meat was in them, he told me they were out of Moink balls. I said okay, but asked if he could still tell me what kind of meat was in the meatball. He seemed very annoyed by the question, said "meat," when I pressed him, he said that he didn't know. We ended up ordering pulled pork, ribs, roasted corn, and mac and cheese. The food itself was good, and I especially liked the corn. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get past the way that server responded to what seemed like a simple and reasonable question.

    A Hidden Gem for Truly Great BBQ…read more We decided to try Iron and Oak after reading some online reviews, and I'm so glad we did. This place is truly a hidden little gem, tucked right beside a brewery. You place your order outside, and there are several outdoor tables with heaters to keep you warm. Our server also let us know we were welcome to sit inside if we preferred, but we chose a cozy outdoor table right by a heater. It was perfect. My husband was craving ribs, and he hasn't stopped talking about them since. He said they were some of the best he's ever had -- tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. He ordered slaw as his side and really enjoyed it. I went with the pulled pork sandwich, and honestly, it was exceptional. The server asked if I wanted it with onions and pickles -- I said yes -- and then asked her to add slaw on top. She said "Of course!" with no hesitation and then took a moment to explain the whole routine since it was our first visit: where to get sauces, forks, napkins, and how they deliver your food to the table when it's ready. She was wonderful. The pulled pork itself was outstanding -- not one bit of fat, just tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked meat. Truly one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had. I chose potato salad as my side, and it was delicious -- definitely passed the test, since potato salad can be hit or miss at many places. I forgot to take pictures, but trust me: this place is worth the trip. If you're in the mood for BBQ, make the drive and enjoy what I would honestly call some of the best barbecue in Asheville.

    Nothing to add beyond what the other 1,000+ reviews have already mentioned about 12 Bones. I will…read moresay that we were surprised by the cornbread, in a bad way. Dry, not interesting, surprisingly poor given the high quality of everything else we tried (ribs, the Mountain Man burger special, the brisket, the sauces, the corn pudding, the baked beans, the mac and cheese, and the jalapeno cheese grits). If it's allowed, I would ask for a different side to swap in for the cornbread because it was so poor. The rest of the food, service, prices, space, etc.? Five stars. Just skip the cornbread! If I could only pick one BBQ spot in Asheville though, Bear has a slight lead as of now.

They didn't prepare any brisket that day and so we ordered the ribs. The ribs were served tepid and were not at all tender. It was difficult to chew off the bone. The smoked turkey was super dry and hard to swallow without adding bar-b-que sauce. They have several homemade bar-b-que sauces and we tried them all but settled on the pineapple habanero. It had a nice balanced flavor with a little kick. The Mac and cheese was the biggest let down for me as it was so bland and did not seem cheesy at all. I remember thinking that a box of Kraft would be better than those tasteless noodles. Overall a disappointing experience and would probably not go back.

I was never on the spam bandwagon, but this simple preparation was fantastic. The poke bowl was delicious. It was a little heavy on the mayo, but all the components were great. I loved the macaroni salad. It was the reason I wanted to come in and I was happy! I sampled some shrimp and chicken from my guy's dish and they were both great-well seasoned and well prepared. I wasn't a fan of the pork, it felt on the dry side. We also noticed that NC likes their sauces. I mean, I like sauces, but I never expect 4-6 options on the table. We tried a little of each and the curry based option and the mustard were my favorites! This is a great find. I didn't realize that small towns still close up shop early on Sundays. So unfortunately we didn't get to spend a lot of time exploring. Nonetheless, this was a great place to stop into.
