Had a disappointing visit last night. 1. When we came in there were four associates standing at the front talking. Not one of them looked over or greeted us. 2. Ordered a large plate of "brisket". It looked very small. There was grease dripping off of the plate and puddled. 3. French fries were mushy and cold. On a positive note the waitress Peggy was great. Polite, prompt and understanding of our dissatisfaction with the food. Come on guys, let's try and do better. read more

Exterior building walls are clean, sidewalks are in pretty bad shape with alot of grease trails scoring 2/5. the interior of the building is pretty clean at a 4/5. read more

Almost every time I go to Lowell, NC I have to go to Hillbillie,s BBQ! The staff are friendly and service is great. read more

Hillbilly's is great BBQ!... nice people, nice facility, all great food... in my opinion, one of the best sauces in the entire Charlotte region!... ive been a customer for years..... always been very good.... Even their steaks are good.....(sorry!, forgot pics, was to excited to eat ) read more

My favorite kind of place. Casual with amazing food. The steaks are delicious and so are the burgers. Haven't had one thing here I didn't like. They also have one thing that's missing at most places and that's outstanding customer service. Hillblily's has become our go to for family dinners. You won't be disappointed. read more

Service at the front is holding Hillbilly's down in a bad way. The inside hostesses are so disorganized that they are likely turning some people away in the chaos of trying to figure out if there's a table open. And when I've called on the phone to order or ask a question about hours they always cut me off. Our server was excellent. The food was good but nothing special. Most of all the volume wasn't there. We paid $25 for two simple plates and I didn't even leave with my appetite fully met. There wasn't one dish that we could say is the best we've had anywhere. We eat a LOT of barbecue--and everything here was just good. I've wanted to get to Hillbilly's in its new location, and this was quite honestly a bit of a disappointment because I had high hopes. Check it out, but don't go out of your way to get there or expect the best barbecue ever. read more

Hillbilly’s Barbeque & Steaks - Hushpuppies - Steakhouses Near Me - Lowell, North Carolina

See all

It was pretty good. The service was great. The food was average. The fried pickles were delicious & great ranch dressing also. A little pricey for me but everywhere is now days. Nice large open space inside, tables are not on top of each other. read more

I wasn't impressed. Ribs had a lingering after taste liked they were soaked in some type of brine that I picked up right away. Hush puppies while cool shaped tasted awful to me, way too sweet. WAITRESS WAS A JOY AND EXCELLANT. RESTAURANT WAS VERY CLEAN WITH LOTS OF ROOM. Food just ehh! read more

A surprisingly wonderful experience. With so many bar b que places around, this one was quite refreshing. The service was wonderful, the ambiance was barbque, with typical family style feel, and the food...........really, REALLY good. When I go to a new place, I get the combination platter so I can sample several of their delicacies. This did not dissapoint. Moist, full of flavor, and delicious. A must visit but get there early. read more

Went here and ordered ribs. They were NOT good at all. Seemed to be old. Not to mention it comes with two sides, I was only brought one. Had to wait until I was almost done with my meal before the waitress came back and I told her. Me and my boyfriend didn't eat any of the ribs, it was so nasty. We told her we didn't like it, she says "are you serious??!!??" Then she asks would we like something else? So we can get charged for it too? And not like it either? She charged us for both plates of ribs. Will not be back. GROSS! read more

when we saw the billboard we decided where else could we go , you got bbq , you got steaks ,you got hillbillies you also have the strangest combinations of flavors on the planet. i've never had desert style brunswick stew , this was clearly the sweetest thing on the menu. the turkey plate is more of a ham steak plate as that's the size and shape of the turkey so i can't fathom what breast this comes off . the coleslaw on the porn sandwhich is pink and has some type of cajun seasoning in it which is not typical. the fries weren't really cooked as they could be however if you are in the market for hush puppies they really load you well up with them. the service was great and they did remove the desert stew from our bill since we ate almost an entire bite. it's very possible we ordered the wrong items as the porn without slaw was good and the bbq sauce was fine as well. would probably give another try read more

Where do I even begin. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed by staff and sat down immediately, we were greeted with nice crispy hush puppies and we got the food we ordered very quick. A very nice crowd started to build and overall everything was spot on, 10/10 I love it all, will always tell anyone I meet if you want good BBQ then Hillbilly's is the place! read more

This place is wonderful I very highly recommend it and if you get the brisket and Mac and Cheese and you have bread or hamburger buns at your house make a brisket sandwich it's delicious read more

First time at this location. Just a little off the interstate and easy to get to. Lots of cars in the parking lot but the dining area is very spacious. (All the law enforcement officers in the town were there ;-D). Good bbq pork sandwich - they added coleslaw for me, collards, and sweet tea. Pork had a very tasty smoked flavor. Good service. I'll remember Hillbilly's. read more

Always quick & good service. Food is good, a good price, we usually get the family deluxe pack which comes with large sides , gallon of tea & 1 1/2 lbs of meat and is enough for our family of 5. read more

There tea is not good, Their Barbecue pork is dry as a bone and not warm even, Chicken was okay, but the dinner was $17 not a good value for one plate item being good. The pintos were pathetic and I had to wait for my water and fried okra. The water with lemon was good. The waitress was not friendly and had an attitude and so did the company I ate with. It want happen again. Don't waste your money or time on even a free dinner. read more

Great barbecue! The service is great and you can't beat the quality and price! Highly recommend!

This food is the absolute best so tender so flavorful. I have no pictures bc we ate it so fast. I've had bbq from all over but nothing like this. It was an absolute gem that I will be returning to very soon. We had brisket which was super tender, ribs which were it seems smoked not sure but so tender, the ribeye steaks were cooked to perfection with maybe a marinade, the sides were perfectly cooked also like Mac and cheese, baked potatoes and okra ughhh so good. Service was very polite fast and nice. Clean fresh restaurant not too packed for Christmas Eve around 5:30pm. read more

So I ordered the chopped pork plate with the sauce on the side, fries crispy, cole slaw and okra. For starters my waitress was terrible, the hush puppies were hard, when my food was brought out the bbq sauce was warmer then the actual pork on the plate, my fries were soft and so was the okra. I could never get my waitresses attention to tell her until 15 minutes into my meal, and then she was in such a hurry I didn't even mention it to her. This use to be one of my favorite places when it was in the old building. If it wasn't for the hush puppies I don't think I'd even eat here anymore. It's sux that they were hard. On the plus side they have the best iced tea read more

Hillbilly’s Barbeque & Steaks - L chopped pork plate, fries, okra, slaw and hush puppies - Steakhouses Near Me - Lowell, North Carolina

Got a pound of take out bbq and two pint sized sides. Really good for the amount of food received. The Brunswick stew was especially good.

All their food is delicious. Service is great. Drive thru we use a lot they really stay busy so a lot of people must agree

Food was at the most decent, service too. It's a loud environment. Prices weren't bad though.

We ordered a Deluxe Family Pack last night and when he got home he had someone else order so I called and they just said ok, so I said hes going to bring it back so back he went and they switched the orders but not apology nothing not even a thank you for returning the other order untouched. In my opinion (and I have done restaurant work for 18 years) they should have at least said sorry about that or thrown in a desert but nothing. I will think about this before ordering from there again read more

Pulled pork is good and sliced brisket was better than average for sure. Had the chicken which was a little dry. Staff is super friendly, place is very clean and definitely will come back. read more

We have been to this place 8 times my husband loves the bbq but on all occasions they were out of one or more items that we ordered. It's hard to keep returning if they are always out of something. read more

Food great service very clean everything about the place is a 100% the ribs are so meaty and tender great taste

New location is great. Same great food and service! Ribs and pork are excellent. 5 star.

Awesome steak. Not a big bbq eater but ribs eye was awesome. Cooked to what I ordered and wife loved bbq

Been eating at Hillbilly's for years and it's always yummy. Their new location is really nice, open and inviting. We aren't keen on the huge overhead fans as they can be quite breezy and chilly especially in the summer when the air is on, so we know to carry a jacket - just in case. The service is great with very friendly folks. read more

This Is where you go when you want BBQ! The Ribs are unbelievable tender, moist, and tear right off the bone , don't forget the perfect formulated BBQ sauce, Next is the Amazing Brisket seasoned to perfection crisp outer, perfect pink ring , tender and delicious, hush puppies, Mac & Cheese and the perfect blend of tea. The pulled Pork sandwich is a must. This is a must go to! read more

Just got takeout order a sandwich and it come with a side, got home no side called, first person I spoke to said she'd sign me up next time I come in my meal would be free, puts me on hold someone else comes on the phone have to explain again, her comment next time I come I'll get a free side, I have to explain it's not free when I already paid for it, puts me on hold, someone else comes on the phone, but this time I'm pretty upset, in my opinion should be pretty simple been in the phone now 7 minutes my food is getting cold. This person says he's the owner best he can do is 10% off my next order. I told him no worries there won't be another. UGH .. BTW the brisket sandwich was dry read more

Great food, great ambiance. Love everything about you guys! Loved the brisket and the fries were great. Will be back soon!

There should be more stars for this restaurant. Our waitress (Amy) alone deserves top marks. She was sweet and inviting and made us feel at home and special from the start. The food is amazing. The barbecue is excellent, but I think the sides make the meal. We ordered four different sides and they were each fantastic. Nothing here disappoints. read more

Very much enjoyed my pulled pork lunch meal! The service was also excellent. The food came out fast and immediately upon sitting they served two portions of hush puppies with a side of bbq sauce. They were delicious and unexpected; I could have ate several portions of them. Dangerous stuff!!! The waitress checked on our table multiple times, which I really appreciated and refills for drinks were in abundance. The pulled pork and brisket were cooked perfectly and i enjoyed the tangy sweet bbq sauce that I believe was homemade. The fried okra was tasty and a favorite of mine always. Personally, I didn't think the macaroni and cheese was the best I have ever had, but it wasn't bad. I'm also a super critic of Mac and cheese, so my opinion is not average on the subject. I think the corn on the cob was boiled as opposed to grilled, which I am never a fan of, but it was fresh just the same. All in all it was a great experience and I will be back. For four people the bill was about $60 with the tip, so prices were very reasonable for the food quality, quantity and service. read more

Great lunch with family. Food was delicious & service was excellent. We had ribs, chicken fingers, and hamburger steak. The cole slaw & fried okra were my favorite sides. But the fried green tomatoes as appetizers are out of this world delicious! read more

Being from Texas we take our BBQ seriously! After living here for years and not finding what we were looking for we were told about Hillbilly's. We tried it years ago and can't stop coming back! Great food, fair prices, huge helpings, friendly staff, clean facility and the smell when you get near is enough to make you come in even if you're just driving by! We will come back as long as the are open and we can move! read more

Friendly, fast and reasonable price! Platter of ribs, complimentary hush puppies and sweat tea!

I love this place! Everything is so good, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu and the service is great.

First time here ,Food was good. Amanda was our waitress. She is the best wait person we have had at any restaurant for a very long time. Thank You to her for making us feel welcome. We will definitely be back. read more

Good food visited after long day at softball field. Waitress was great. Food was quick.
