The owners Brian & Jan are the staff and love to get to know you while providing small town personal service in the great little business they care about!

The bread was a level up from normal sandwich, being tastier, smoother, and more firm in a good way. The fries were crispy and absolutely delicious.

She chose Roy's Hickory Smoked BBQ, and wow, are we glad she did! Pulling up, I was a little skeptical at first, but there were a few cars outside so we decided to give it a try. I hadn't paid attention to the hours on Yelp, and when I saw the sign on the door that said "11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. or until sold out," I told my wife, "Hopefully they still have some food left!" As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by that wonderful smoky barbecue aroma. We looked over the menu board and my wife chose the two-meat platter with ribs and brisket. It came with two sides from the cold case, beans, corn, pickles, and a drink. I ordered the brisket and ham sandwich, which also included two sides, beans, corn, homemade pickles, and a drink. The prices were very reasonable. After selecting our sides, we grabbed a small plate of beans, corn, and homemade pickles and found a seat in the second dining room.

Wyatt came over and spent some time talking with us. He even brought us samples of the potato salad and pasta salad to try. Of all the sides, our favorites were the potato salad, creamy coleslaw, and the beans and corn. The pasta salad was good as well, although we thought the noodles could have been cooked just a little longer. Overall, this was some of the best barbecue we have ever had. We need a place like this back home in Maryland--it would be an absolute home run. Wyatt also gave us a few suggestions for things to do in town, including the salt mine and the space museum. We took his advice and toured the salt mine, which was over 650 feet underground and lasted more than two hours. It was an amazing experience and fascinating to see how everything is done. Great food, friendly people, reasonable prices, and local recommendations that turned into a memorable experience. Roy's Hickory Smoked BBQ was one of the highlights of our trip.

Honestly great food…read more My wife and I tried almost everything as we were on vacation and try and stop at local places. The ribs were by far the best thing if you like dry rub, good (not overwhelming smoke) and great meat quality. The sauces were not watered down and runny but a great consistency and a solid offering from your typical sweet, medium, hickory, and hot. The golden one was not any type of mustard style I've tried. We also really enjoyed the pit ham and hot links. The other meats were decent. The only meat we didn't care for was the turkey, it definitely tasted like a pre-pumped turkey with a slightly metallic / saline taste you get with pumped products. Overall great BBQ meats. The sides were a little more hit and miss. The okra is definitely something worth stopping for. It was fresh, hand battered and sprinkled with their house rub seasoning and utterly fantastic. We also really enjoyed their potato salad, if it was Sysco special you had us duped! The Mac and cheese like most joints was from a boil bag and the coleslaw though EXTREMELY fresh left a little to be desired as it hadn't marinated enough to really pack some flavor in. The staff was friendly but the young girl working the counter wasn't quite sure of the meats and how they were prepared. We were looking for bone in turkey or chicken and she didn't know. Over all really nice and the food was prepared in the open kitchen and quickly brought out! The place could use some TLC and a little degreaser as the floor was a little slick and tacky. Trash was picked up but a little after hours scrubbing and I think it would really stand out. This is a Coke products restaurant so Pepsi people don't bother stopping LOL. Our next time thru McPherson we will be stopping.

Great brisket is moist, falls apart in your mouth, and doesn't have chewy chunks of fat that you'd rather spit out than swallow. Of those three qualities, only the moistness was satisfactory. In fairness, their barbecue sauce was good, as were the beans. The potato salad was okay. But circling back to the meat - that's why we were there, and honestly it was below average. Short story: One time we were driving down the highway, hungry, and we exited so we could try Hog Wild. It was closed, so we went to Hong Kong Buffet next door and absolutely loved it. On a later road trip, we exited to go to Hong Kong Buffet. It was closed, so we finally got to try Hog Wild. Circle complete!
