Was told they do not do call ahead orders, but to call on our way up to make sure they still had some. We called when we were 30 min away and got told they were going to stop cooking them at 5, we said we will be there before that. Still wont take order over the phone! We drive the rest of the way up, walk through the door and get told "sorry we just got busy and sold out"... WTF! Terrible customer service!! Didnt offer anything to make it right or make up for the fact we just drove all the way up there!! Then I gave a bad review on FB and they deleted it and banned me! This is how they conduct business... but they want you to "Support Local" haha, never again and I will tell as many people as I can!!

When I took my first bite, both the Mac n cheese and pulled pork were cold. I took my food back up and asked if there was anyway to heat it up. I was told that they didn't have any way to heat it up, but she did give me some more pulled pork that was hot. I tried eating but the food being cold was unappetizing and I didn't care for the flavor of the pulled pork. The texture of the meat was also strange. It was obvious that the food was not made fresh and thrown in a warmer. My husband got a pulled pork platter and while he enjoyed the pulled pork at first, when he got into the middle of his meat, it was slimy and super fatty. The one good part of the meal was the fries, they were actually some of the best fries I've had. Overall, I don't think this place is worth the money ($42 for 2 adults and a kids meal) especially if you're looking for authentic BBQ, this ain't it!

The food was also very good with the pulled pork, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and cornbread being the crowd favorites.

That said, they were great to work with and the prices were reasonable so we'd definitely hire them again!

We ordered a tray, nachos and a pulled chicken sandwich. We thought we ordered the half nachos but did end up with the full. The amount of food could have fed 8 to 10 people. The atmosphere I thought was great. The staff were friendly and fun, and the prices, to us, were crazy low for the amount of food you received. I have no doubt this will be a regular for the college kids, and we will definitely be back when we come visit.

I stopped in today for lunch and based on the quality of food I have to drop my overall rating to…read morethree stars. Today I ordered a brisket sandwich. I knew the brisket was pulled and not sliced when I ordered. The brisket was the driest least flavorful brisket I have had in a long long time and I regretted my meal choice instantly. The sandwich was large and overstuffed which would have been great, except it meant I had to eat a lot of the dried out meat on its own. Even worse the amount of sauce provided was pathetic. If I had a decent amount of sauce it may have hidden the poor meat. Overall I give the brisket sandwich 1 star and do not recommend it to anyone. Another point that was a bummer was neither my sandwich or Mac and cheese were hot. Eating half cold food that's dried out is ok at a backyard bbq but when paying $15 for lunch I am looking for something of higher quality.

She asked me if I wanted any sauce, and she put on the amount that I had requested. Then she kindly thanked me. At this Rib Fest, I ate ribs from three other vendors, and I think that Ribbins BBQ had the best-tasting ribs. These ribs were the smallest size and had the least amount of meat, but my husband and I really enjoyed the smokey flavor of the meat and the sweet sauce. I did not buy any other foods from this business, but their website mentions pulled pork, beef brisket, BBQ chicken, loaded fries, baked beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens. Their website also mentions that they offer catering within a 20-mile radius of their business. The foods include those previously mentioned plus ham, turkey, sausage, hotdogs, burgers, potato salad, corn, baked potato, pasta salad, applesauce, salads, beans and rice, green beans, rice, cornbread, etcetera.

The texture of the pulled pork was fine, but it was a tad flavorless. I do think the pork had…read morepotential to be pretty good, I'd say as is, a 4.5/10 for the pork on its own without any sauce. But for pork being a salty meat, we felt we needed more just to give it some flavor. Unfortunately, their salt packet container was filled exclusively with pepper (this is easily correctable and does not factor into our score). The brisket texture was OK and had a decent color and smoky flavor to it, though it may have been slightly overdone, as it was very dry. If I were to describe the flavor it would be Jack Link's Beef Jerky. The sauces were, to be blunt, not great. The mustard based sauce was pretty much just mustard. There was a ketchup based sauce that didn't offer much else. There were 2 other sauces, neither of which paired well with the 2 meats, and frankly I'm having a hard time even coming up with words to describe them. A way to improve would be a vinegar based sauce for the pulled pork (Carolina style), and offer up a reasonably spicy sauce. The biggest issue was we felt like we were chasing flavor and unable to find it, even mixing and matching sauces and meats. Prices were very reasonable for the quantities of food.

We were so pleased with the food--amazing pulled pork, delicious beans, and that sauce. Oh, that sauce! (Oh, yeah--generous portions, especially of those fabulous French fries) We missed out on the salmon, unfortunately-- they make what they make and when it's gone it's gone.
