Food Truck Review: I'm from a much larger metropolitan area, so finding options for food I like is…read moredifficult at best in any small town. Add to that that I'm extremely picky, and it's a mix for cooking food for myself most days here in SC. But, let's start simple: Iron Door BBQ - I located them quite by accident, but decided to try the experience at the food truck. If you're looking for them, they are in a great, easy to find location. Kid's/Senior's menu - ORDERED Sliders & 4 oz side: Pickles: if they make their own, they need to consider jarring them and selling them by themselves. These dills have the right amount of dill flavor and snap that any quality pickle should have. I liken them to Clausen dill pickles - the only ones I normally eat. OUTSTANDING. Brisket Sliders: Two come in the kids meal, and I ordered them just as they come (no mods). Two small toasted rolls with more brisket than bread (very generous with the meat), and just the right amount of regular sauce placed right on top of the meat. The brisket is tender and seasoned very well. The smoky flavor with the pickle and the sauce - AMAZING. The meal is enough to eat for lunch and not feel so full that you need a nap. Smoky Mac n Cheese: I wasn't quite sure I'd like this, but ordered it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by this cheesy goodness that has cracked pepper and just the right amount of smoke flavor, mixed with this velvety cheese and perfectly cooked elbow mac. Stellar side! Regular menu - ORDERED Loaded Potato (you pick the meat): I ordered the potato because, I'll admit, a loaded potato to me is the PERFECT meal. This one was going to be judged hard. You wait a few minutes for this, but after eating it, it is WORTH IT. The potato is a medium size potato, perfectly baked, soft but not wrinkly and dry. As a creature of habit, I chose brisket . Same generously portioned, tender brisket covering the top of the potato, with shredded cheese and green chiles. Once your toppings are added, this is a meal enough for several days, or multiple people, and frankly, I don't plan on sharing this with anyone! Note, the regular potato comes with nacho cheese, but when asked, they were more than happy to swap it out with shredded cheese. Again, I ordered to-go through the food truck, but I received upbeat, pleasant service that set my expectations on wait time (which was even shorter than I thought it would be). My bag contained my warm food, napkins and utensils (without needing to ask) and was brought out with a smile. This was a 5-star experience from the food truck and I'm betting the restaurant service and food is the same. I'm glad I branched out to try Iron Door when I was craving good BBQ, as this place serves just that. Their menu is much larger than my choices above, and as mentioned, they have a kid's and senior's menu, if you prefer smaller portions, or want to try many things. Try it - you won't be disappointed!

Usually when I go very friendly people, however the Wednesday I went a young lady was working, they had to go look for her to help, then she acted like she did not want to be there, as though it was so much work (it was 12 noon) she was not friendly. She forgot items in the order handed out before mine and forgot items i mine. I guess she was just having a bad day like so many of us have.

So I decided to try another restaurant. My card has been on the counter while I thumbed this whole review and she hasn't picked it. And hasn't smiled to anyone.... Clearly having a bad day...I hope things get better for her It's a pity because it looks like s great venue.

Jim greeted us as we entered and took our order as well as served us and explained all the different color coded sauce options! Oh my was everything tasty! The side dishes were just as impressive as the meats! Hard to believe this all started because a friend asked Jim to make some BBQ for his birthday party! I want to say thank you for the hospitality and wonderful food you shared with us we had a wonderful lunch in restaurant and took the leftovers home for dinner with our selection of our favorite sauces.

He brought out a complimentary basket of chips and green Hatch chili salsa to start . Oh boy! This was the best salsa! Tasty with a kick but not too spicy . My daughter scooped up every last bit. He suggested the special burrito. ($13?) I took his advise and got it . It was humongous! Definitely enough to share . My daughter wanted the salmon dinner which was standard fare so, she helped me eat my burrito instead . My burrito was way better . It had everything but the kitchen sink in it . Sooo good . Even though we ate until we were full , we still had 1/2 a burrito left! (Ate the rest for breakfast the next day !)

They had $2 pints of Dos Equis from 6 to 8pm Monday through Friday and a 3 rib special for $10.50 including a roll and a side. That's like $13 including tax, with sides like crispy fried okra. Counter service was quick and accurate, and there are tables and booths. The ribs were a tiny bit dried out, but honestly they were pretty tasty. They have lots of combo sandwiches like brisket and pulled pork that are also good value. Others may have had a bad experience, but I think the place is decent.

We ordered 1/2 pound of brisket and 1/2 pound of pulled pork along with many sides including smalls of potato salad, coleslaw, creamed corn, and a large beans. It came with white or wheat bread. Let's get to the meat, brisket was very good, the pulled pork was juicy. Coleslaw was mayo based not vinegar based. The potato salad and creamed corn stole the show. So good! Beans were good too. Inside was large picnic tables and a country store vibe. As always we ask would we go back? "Meh, idk" was Amanda's answer. We may try another location before going back.

I ordered the pork chop and wasn't expecting to have a pool of applesauce soaking the entire plate that was a downside to the dish, especially because my asparagus and fries were soaked in applesauce with such a large piece of meat that they gave me the outside was flavorful, but unfortunately, once you cut into the pork chop, it was dry and flavorless. My husband had the chicken Cordon Bleu same thing with his the outside had flavor, but the inside lacked. The prices of the menu are very high. I believe they try to make up for it with their presentation.
