A staple for Cabarrus County. BBQ is the best and atmosphere is great. Always has customers and desserts are awesome.

Great amazing friendly staff. Recently moved to the area and they are making an outdoor space and they will have beer and wine in a few weeks. My fiance had the club which was amazing. I had the chili cheese fries, I wish there was more chili on the fries. Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

The updated Jake's R&R has not disappointed. I've been twice since the name change and new menu. I was worried it wouldn't measure up but I think R&R has done a great job with the new menu rollout. They kept the traditional bbq fare but I've been trying out the newer items. And with any new menu they have increased the prices but I will say with that they have stepped up on portions and quality. They've been around for decades and I think they will continue stay a favorite in this area for years to come. read more

Consistently great food and good service. My fav is the patty melt. Also like the BBQ salad. Wondered hush puppies.

Local staple that never disappoints! Big portions, friendly service, and my kids love the overhead train.

Sooo yeah... this was not my cup of tea. The sweet tea was delicious!!! The banana pudding is amazing!! Everything else was okay. We were not impressed. Expected more for a BBQ place. read more

Driving I-85 north yelped up some BBQ as I love to get my NC pulled pork with that tangy vinegar sauce fix when back in my home state. Yelp dialed me into this roadside gem. Great service at the bar by Ms Asha. Big plate of pulled pig and two sides, beans and beans. Had to try a piece of the Coconut Cake. All so good. read more

I came here for the first time tonight looking for a barbecue sandwich. The food was decent and the service was great. My date and I both ordered a barbecue sandwich with slaw. She got a side of onion rings and I got mac and cheese. The sandwich was good. The barbecue could have been more flavorful. The red slaw was good. The onion rings were really good. The mac and cheese was enjoyable. The service was really good. According to the receipt our server was Taylor B. She was very efficient. She took great care of us the entire time we were there. The place was clean. They had a 98.5 sanitation grade posted. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and it was clean and well kept. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed. read more

This was my first time trying this place. Let met tell you. I was in HOG HEAVEN. The food was THE BEST BBQ I've ever had at a restaurant. The service was impeccable. It felt like we were truly cared for. The overall look and feel of the restaurant was so inviting. I was raised around trains my entire life. I'm a huge BBQ lover, so this restaurant really made my heart (and stomach) happy! I will definitely be back again in the near future. read more

Consensus on the BBQ was good. Portions are ample and pricing is comparatively favorable with other BBQ spots. Docking a star for insisting on cooking burgers their way rather than as the customer prefers them. News flash: the customer is always right. Docking a second star for painfully slow service. It was a Saturday evening at dinner time. Major community event plus a NASCAR race taking place during dinner - why would you not staff up??? We were seated immediately. Took 20 min to get an appetizer and another 30+ to get food. Server kept trying to buy time "it's coming up now" and still took another 10 min on both the app and the meal. Be honest. And tell me when we're ordering to expect delays. (To their credit, they were telling people that who were arriving as we left.) read more

Great Food but since the change of names and the menu it's a bit pricey and less selection. Takes awhile to get your order. The staff is Fantastic and really go out of their way. Move the menu back to the way it was and let folks order onion rings without having to buy a whole tower full. Desserts are excellent read more

This place is so yummy but just a warning - if you order a roll with your entree, it's a microwaved hamburger bun read more

As I only moved to the area a year ago, I've only been to R&R twice. My partner being a local has been many times. I can see why it's been around so long. First of all, the ambiance is as nostalgic as you're gonna get. Even after moving locations they kept up their theme to a T. It is an adorable restaurant and if you have kids, they better know about this gem. They have a railroad track with train overhead and tons of things that go with the theme. The place is big enough to accommodate any size party as well. Being that we went on a weeknight, our service was great too. The food was fresh and came out rather quickly. We got two huge plates and each tried a little of everything the first time and even had leftovers for the next day. My favorite meat was the pulled pork that I smothered in vinegar sauce and then used the sweet sauce to dip. My favorite item overall was the fried corn on the cob though. It will get stuck in your teeth though. The second time I had it was to go on a Monday night to try their Mississippi pot roast. It was great but not the same portion size you get from the bbq and I can't say that I blame them. You do get a load of mashed potatoes with it and choice of another side. It was also very flavorful. But, I'll stick to making my own. I'm looking forward to going back, this is the kind of place I'll work my way through the whole menu. read more

Great portions! Served was nice and kept drinks full. Their green beans taste like magic. I definitely want to come back on one of the 2 days (Tuesday or Friday) they offer the beef Brisket! read more

I am an admitted BBQ snob, and I love trying new BBQ places, but this one left me disappointed. The sweet sauce is good, but not anything special. I didn't try the spicy vinegar. I was a little surprised when the brisket came and it was covered in sauce already. If I had known, I would have made sure to order it without sauce since there is some at the table. I like to be able to try the un sauced meat first because the rub and the smoke are the most important part. The brisket was mediocre at best. It was moist and tender and they gave a nice mix of fatty and lean meat but the flavor was very basic. BBQ is too expensive for it to just be okay. The mac and cheese is amazing though. It had a nice cheesy crust. It's baked so there isn't a lot of sauce, but it has all the flavor that the brisket was missing. Also, they put a pickle spear in my salad which was...weird and for me, made the salad inedible. I specifically asked my waitress what came on the salad and she definitely didn't mention the pickle. Oh, and the hush puppies are pretty good. There were a little dense but the crust was amazing and had a nice sweetness to it. Overall, I'm glad I tried it but I won't be back. read more

We can always count on R&R for great food and service. The small tray is a favorite, as well as the BBQ chicken. The ribs are good too. But, you can't pass up the Brunswick stew as a side! We pick up from here frequently as they are on the way home in the evenings which makes dinner on work nights so much easier! read more

My husband and I as well a Lunch Crew enjoyed the rustic dining. BBQ was very tasty. The service was very good!

This is my absolute favorite barbecue place in Concord but I went in today and placed a $90 to go order and unfortunately this will be the last time I visit. I am absolutely disgusted that I was told they were going to charge me for some forks, I have been a loyal customer to this place since shortly after it opened, but I will find another place to go to now, yes over Forks because as absurd as my review may sound, is just as absurd as being charge for forks is! read more

Very nice waitress. The sandwich was amazing and the sauce the sweet barbecue sauce that is. Definitely will be back to bring my dad because he loves pulled pork with coleslaw sandwich. He's a native North Carolinain!! read more

Service and food was great. I would recommend for the ribs and for the mac & cheese they were awesome.

Classic southern bbq with sweet tea and hush puppies! Service is top notch and food served hot and quick. A must try when heading down I-85 near Concord, NC. read more

Big portions and authentic NC bbq diner feel. Pulled pork had good flavor and plenty of sauce options. Fried corn and hush puppy's were a little bland. Might have been an off day on the batter seasoning. Service was good and tea was sweet. Worth the drive off the highway 100% read more

3.5 stars. I haven't been here in years and was a little disappointed at dinner. The BBQ has no sauce and you now have to add your yourself and I found even after adding a ton of sauce to the chopped bbq and trying to toss it around it was still dry. Hushpuppies were my favorite part and luckily they are so big they pass as dinner in a pinch. read more

My husband and I ordered from this restaurant through DoorDash. The first thing that happened was they cancelled my husbands dinner due to not having turkey, there seemed to be a mix up with phone numbers and they were unable to reach us. The lady on the phone was rather rude about the situation but we still had hope that my ribs and our desserts were going to be good. When the food arrived we found out that my dessert had been cancelled. We were extremely disappointed since we had just spoke to them and they had mentioned nothing about it being out of stock. I was then extremely upset when I took my ribs out of the container to find them burnt. They were completely blackened and inedible. read more

When I moved to NC as a kid I was afraid to try barbecue. My parents were Yankees and they don't eat it where they're from. I'll never forget the first time I decided to try it at a party and it was delicious...and when I asked where it was from the answer was R&R BBQ. Since then, I have been in to the restaurant a few times...and every time, I am so glad I went. We have moved a few hours away, but when we were in the area this weekend we knew we wanted to go to R&R. The BBQ sandwich was perfect and I got mac and cheese as my side which was amazing. My only regret is that I didn't notice they had diet Cheerwine because I definitely would have ordered it. read more

Food is always on point. Brunswick Stew is some of the best. My son always likes the Tenders and of course the BBQ is the best.

We have been eating here at the Pitts Sch road restaurant several times a month for over 15 years as well as picking up our order. Food tonight was good as usual but service was AWFUL for the first time. Business was slow. order was taken promptly and served within 10 mins. server came by 2 times at first. then not again. We needed a box for leftovers and waited 30 mins after we were finished eating and no one stoped at our table. My husband finally went to get the box himself. We were sitting in the booth closest to the kitchen counter facing the inside of the restaurant. Every server passed us a multitude of times, even our original server and no one stopped! We saw our original server standing at a table chatting away for over 10 mins. This has never happened before and we hope it doesn't again as they will lose a very loyal customer. read more

BBQ was tender with crisp burnt ends, good sauces to choose from a vinegar or sweet option. Sides come with plates, tried onion rings, pretty good, but not homemade. Fried okra was crisp and delicious, macaroni and cheese was baked, french fries were a crinkle style, portions good size. My mistake when I ordered homemade chicken salad that was over chopped with mega strong chunks of red onions, plenty of celery but onions were so overpowering. Good service and refills were quick on perfectly sweet tea. Hush puppies were big and cooked to order. Hard to find on own, just off I-85. read more

Love the food, miss the trains, so grateful for drive up service. The staff are always so friendly!

There's a new King in town and it's R&R BBQ!!!! Good prices, excellent meat quality! Hands down best chopped bbq around.

Perfect casual place to meet for lunch! Came with the family, had a little fun since I'm old enough to order off the Senior "Choo Choo " menu! Got the Crispy breaded chicken fingers food was brought in reasonable time with everytjing hot & fresh. Had a minor mishap with the corndog on the tray as the waitress served us, but she was really quick in bringing a replacement! Don't laugh, but the crushed ice in the drinks is one of my favorite things! read more

I really like the pulled pork. Barbecue sides are delicious. Vinegar sauce is my favorite. The service is always great, it just takes a few minutes to get the order to your table. The barbecue is so good. I usually take a pound home so we can enjoy throughout the week. It's a casual atmosphere and can get crowded at lunch time. read more

We used to eat here frequently several years ago so we thought we'd try again since we were in the neighborhood. Big Mistake - ordered 2 Engineer's plates with mayo slaw, BBQ beans, mac & cheese, green beans, an order of onion rings and banana pudding for desert. When we got home the pulled pork was grey - my wife wouldn't touch it. The slaw had a very bad aftertaste - clearly something wrong. The green beans were way too salty, mac & cheese was ok The one item we were really looking forward to was the banana pudding. Not a good choice either - the bananas were not just black but rotten. Way too past expiration date to used as food. Hush puppies were overcooked. The best items were the beans & onions rings. Obviously not a good experience. We will not be returning, read more

WILL NO LONGER GIVE MY BUSINESS TO THIS PLACE! After several years of not eating at R&R BBQ, due to previous bad experiences, my husband and I thought we would give it another try for take-out, thinking surely it's not so bad now. .What a HUGE disappointment, so NEVER again!!! Paid $26.00 for a "FULL RACK RIB PLATE" that I was looking so forward to. Ribs were the worst ribs I have ever had!!!! The meat was so tough that it was a challenge to even cut the meat from the bone with a knife, which was the only way possible to get the meat off the bone of these ribs. Extremely chewy and truly impossible to eat. This is not how ribs are to be prepared. Called R&R back to give them some feedback on the condition of the ribs. Their response to my disgruntlement was: "Thank you for letting us know." ONE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED CUSTOMER!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! read more
