I had a lovely little visit to the John brown store. I tried some of the food. I will not there is nowhere to sit inside so you have to get the food to go and eat it at home. I bought an array of cheeses, honey and produce. The food was delicious. The staff is very kind and the ambiance is very warm and welcoming I can't wait to come back! read more

Tenderloin sandwich is really good. But the show stopper is their BBQ! Had to go back and buy a pound of it. $11.99/lb is not bad Easily one of the better BBQ I've had period! Nice little store, right off the road, easy parking. Staff is very sweet as well A must see in this area! read more

John Brown's is exactly what you'd picture when thinking of an old country store. It has all of the small town, country feels. They sell local goods, from meats and veggies, honeys, jams, jellies, candies, cheeses, chicken pies, slaw, chicken salad and potato. John Brown's also offers sandwiches, burgers, wings and pizza. They also have a daily specials hot bar where you can grab a plate to go, a meat and two veggies. My husband loves the meatloaf. And they have great salads! I wish their veggies were vegetarian friendly, but this is the south and pork or fatback in greens, green beans & cabbage are pretty much a staple. The chicken stew in the colder months is on point! The staff is friendly and there's many regulars, it seems they know everyone who walks through the door. I like that you can see them preparing your food and of course I look for the grade- 98.5!! Love coming here when I don't feel like cooking. No inside tables, just order and go. read more

We stopped here hoping to get lunch but since there's no indoor seating we decided to go somewhere else. However, they offered a hot bar with amazing looking meat loaf and many other food options. I would have loved to given it a try, but we were not interested in takeout. I would love to go back and be able to have time to really explore the store. They offer a large array of more unique jams, jellies, candies and other packaged seasonings with their own brand. In addition they offer country ham and a wide variety of veggies. The store was quite busy. We would have never just stumbled across this store. It was a destination easily found using GPS. read more

We keep coming back because the made to order food is really good and the folks are really kind and friendly. Also, we're slowly working our way down their burger/sammich menu trying one thing at a time. Everything has been delicious. So far we've tried: the Big John Burger, the Cheeseburger, the Pork Tenderloin, the Pork Chop, the Double Cheese Burger, and for the kiddo the Loaded Bun (for some reason, this was a huge hit). All the items are made to order with various toppings. Husband's go-to is the burger (any kind), and mine is definitely the Pork Chop sammich - fried crispy and the meat is so tender. Now let's talk sides - you can get fries (which are crinkle cut, and let's be honest, the best fry shape), but I think we can all agree that the best fried potato delivery method for your mouth is the tater tot. So definitely get some tater tots with your meal. Also ask for some ranch (or ketchup if you prefer), but their ranch is homemade, and it's reaalllly yummy. They also run a daily special which is posted out on their facebook page. It's like a home cooked take-out meal where you get to pick out a meat and veg for a set price. It looks amazing and really fresh. We haven't tried it yet because we're working our way through the sammich menu, but one day, don't worry, it's on our list. P.S. For some reason, they also have salads, so don't worry, for all you healthy folks, there really is something for you too. I recommend checking out their site before heading over there so you have a preview of their menu so you have a good idea of what you want and the toppings that go on your order. The store itself is super cute little country store - a variety of local goods like produce, some fresh baked items, pantry/shelf-stable, and refrigerated/frozen items, as well as some standard brand name stuff like sodas, beers, and snacks. read more

Charming is a good word to describe JBCS. Home cooking fast and delicious. Great selection of honey and everything you would expect from a rural, country store. Stop in and try them out. read more

Ordered chicken stew! It was delicious!!!!!! Such a cool clean place. Great service! If it had been warm we could have eaten outside.

Always shopped there & love country setting. I buy lot beans pinto & white. Did away with white beans. The worker could work on their attitude, just being friendly speaking to customers. They act like they mad at world especially the girl at register. It has always been bad but last 2 times worse. We spend around $100.00 week & everyone deserves a smile & a hello. I think you should give receipt showing what you paid for items. Don't usually write these but this is pretty bad. read more

Fast friendly service. Affordable. Down home food. Unique country general store. Always able to find local farm and locally made products.

Not a $6.00 salad at all doesn't even fill up the box. Only way to get a decent salad is to order one with meat. Actually asked for a really big salad when making the call in order. read more

Their plate lunch is great employees are friendly and helpful. They need to have a larger parking area sometimes there are traffic jams with cars coming in and out. read more

Great hot bar and staff! Go check them out. Especially now with their famous chicken stew.

Love their food, I'm a big fan of the 66 Sizzler! They're chicken stew is also well known in the area and is a must have on cold winter days. The staff is super friendly even when they're slammed busy. If you show up during peak lunch or dinner hours expect to wait 15 minutes or so to get your food. Waiting is just the price you pay for delicious meals. The remodel that was done a few years back completely changed the feel of the place. The goal of making it feel like an ol' time country store was spot on. If you're looking for some past time favorite candies this is the place to. Fill a bag with whatever your heart desires. In addition to good food and sweet treats they have a decent selection of beverages in "the beer cave" and home made items like pimento cheese and BBQ. If you're on your way to or from Hanging Rock State Park this is a must go destination. read more

Best country food in town! Check out the country style steak! They also game homemade pimento cheese! It's the coolest little country store/restaurant around! read more

Love this place. They have the best pimento cheese. Out of town visitors stock up to take home with them.

Great service, so many good options for food, the wings are hands down best in King. Love the old school country store vibe and the unique local items you can get. read more

Chicken pie was Delicious! They have a little bit of everything. I will be going back.

The food is always served fresh, and it's ALWAYS delicious. Their pimento cheese (the hot one) is the best I have ever had and we make sure to buy it at least every other week! read more

We go to John's all the time. Good food. Great people. It is almost always crowded. It is a local favorite and being a local, of sorts, we make it a point to shop here. I will say this...another reviewer said "hot dogs are good, but not Dairio good" - well if Dairio is your standard of quality - it is best that you avoid John's. We won't miss you! All kidding aside - John's is a great asset to the community. And if you think John's is a "redneck grill", then just get back into your Volvo and head on down the road, buddy. I hear there is a Starbucks in Winston. read more

Always kind and respectful staff. Darling a little bit of everything country store! Perfect to visit on way to Hanging Rock or grab a snack!

Everything here is AMAZING. Try the pimento cheese and chicken salad sandwiches. Get a tub of each to take home while you are there.

They have a little of everything and nice are people. Chicken tenders are too small and crunchy. We happen to drive by weekly and there's always a lunchtime crowd. They are pricey. read more

Headed down 66? This the best restaurant you'll find the whole way whether you're coming up from K-Vegas or down from 89. Burgers are what burgers should be - big and sloppy. Hot dogs (all the way, Carolina style) are as good as you'll ever have. Pork Chop sandwich is absolutely delicious. Fries are excellent. Wings are even better. Service is what you would expect at such a distinctly "local" joint. Friendly and homey, very obviously family-owned and operated. It's rare to find a place where your patronage feels so appreciated and that appreciation is best shown in the quality of the food. read more

Absolutely fabulous. It is very busy , there is a reason for that. The food is fantastic ..

Food was ok. I had the burger, nothing special. My wife had soup with a hair in it. Never been back. It's more of a red neck grocery store.

Great store and great place for takeout! They have a little bit of everything and great customer service! I haven't tried everything but the burgers and wings are the best I've had in awhile. Definitely a change from all the chain restaurants read more

The food is extremely good I have loved their food since I was very little I love they're taters and their chicken legs

John Brown's is a great country store. The owners are wonderful and the employees are a lot of fun. They have some of the best fast food around! Good BBQ, great homemade slaw and pimento cheese! I live down the street and I highly recommend that you stop in, oh by the way, THEY HAVE BREAKFAST PIZZA!!!!!!!! Any time of day! read more

We've had their pork chop sandwiches, grill chicken salad (dressing is awesome), Hunt's brother pizzas (come already dressed in sauce and cheese but you can add toppings as they are FREE!) Banana pudding, thick shakes, nice people, good food. Huge burgers and orders of fries/ onion rings. Great price on fresh bags of potatoes, great homemade pimento cheese and chicken salad, jars of honey, bar b q sauce, onions, etc. Sales ice, candy, beer, milk, and I think, cigarettes, plus many other items and foods. Man who takes my order has always been sweet and my order had never been wrong. Fast, friendly service, clean store, I do tell people about it and that they should try it out. Word of mouth is best. No indoor seating, no outdoor seating. No place to eat other then car, but they do so much business you should leave, to open a parking spot for the flood of customers. read more
