Came here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We had no wait, and found the service to be fast and…read morefriendly. This was my first time having bbq in NC and living in central Texas for a few years now I had thought I was a staunchly beef over pork person for bbq, but boulevard is making me rethink things a bit! Some of the best ribs I've ever had, falls off the bone with no effort what so ever. Incredibly rush and delicious flavor. The chopped bbq was also really good, especially with their white or gold sauces. Their portion sizes are incredibly large. My beans and hush puppies mostly went untouched. The potato salad was solid, but let's be honest, you're here for the meats and you won't be disappointed

WOW is all I can say. I cannot believe it has taken me 2 years of being in Morganton to try this…read moreplace. I got the two meat combo with the jumbo drumsticks and BBQ. The jumbo drumsticks were hands down the best chicken I have ever had in my life. Smoked to perfection, tender, and the sweet glaze was so good. Not a bad thing to say about anything. The hush puppies were to die for as well. Prices were very reasonable especially for the amount of food you get. Adding this to my top favorite places in Morganton and absolutely cannot wait to go back!

Went for the seafood buffet on a Saturday. Got there around 4:30 and were quickly seated. Loved the…read morefried scallops and the grilled shrimp. Crab legs were cooked well and cracked open easily. Can't complain about that! Our waitress, Ashley, was as kind as could be. Very attentive and so friendly. Our table also enjoyed the pineapple soft serve ice cream. There is a good range of options on the seafood buffet, plus a salad bar and some sides such as fries, coleslaw, and potato salad that are offered. While the outside of the restaurant may appear a little run down, the food and service are great.

Shortly it became very crowded! Ordered ribs but advised not ready until 5pm. Got the pulled pork baked potato. Pork didn't seem cooked well. Very light pink and wet. I didn't complain. Just swept it off & ate as much of the huge potato that I could. Brisket ( we were originally told it would not be ready till five then they came back and said they did have it.) very dry and the plate not worth $34! May be bad timing? They were highly recommended. Almost $100 for lunch which would have been fine if we enjoyed the meal.

Been coming in here once every few years for 20 years and I'm sorry to report it's not as good as…read moreit used to be. Actually I think other bbq places may have gotten better but this place has not. Chopped pork was ok but not distinctive. Red Cole slaw was excellent. Sweet potato casserole is a sugar bomb, hiding sweet potato flavor. Jalapeño corn bread was just not good, too cakey, no jalapeños. Fair prices. $7.99 value meal is a good deal. I'm also sad that it was virtually empty on the weekday we visited at noon. It's never been a place for ambiance and is still not. On the hunt for better barbecue place.

Food was good. I did take out. That was problematic…read more I ordered combo, requested my sauce When I finally got to the window for pickup, the bag was given with a smile and knot in the top. I drove around and parked to eat. Upon releasing the knot, sauce was wrong, it was bbq, not Honey mustard, color should have been easy to get right, no utensils, and no napkins. I went back through line and called from behind the car at the window. There is a small door for staff to egress if needed. I called, stated problems and said my location. Man on phone said no problem right on it. No one came out. So Seven minutes later I came to window. They knew nothing of what I was talking about , because I had to explain again. Blank face. Then another associate handed the man a small bag. He just handed it me no looking inside of it. So when I got it, it had sauce utensils and only one napkin. Again this is bbq. I said only one napkin, again blank stare no movement. That's when I actually got mad. Shot a,bird, not proud of, and pulled off. Staff at window sucks, long waits alot if mealing around and nothing going out window timely. This was the first time I had been back since new management over a year ago. Same attitude.

My only complaint was that the kitchen took a while to get our food out, but the appetizers and salads came out quickly and if I returned super hungry I would order a soup or salad before dinner. My salmon was top notch. The skin was crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked. My god mother loved her tomato bisque and fried oysters. The grits an polenta were what everyone at the bar was talking about. Many of the cocktails looked delicious and I can wait to come back sometime when I can try a few. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.
