I've been there twice, both times were to get a to go order and were very long wait times. Today I placed an order to go, went out and waited on the porch for about 20 minutes. When I came back in to check on the order, I was asked did I order baked potatoes. I said yes and she said, Oh well, we're out. Their customer service needs some serious training. I'll be going out of the way to use the Blairsville restaurant moving forward because they have great customer service and it doesn't take an entire hour to get the order, that's if you get it, because they might be out of whatever you order and you won't know until you've already waited half an hour. read more

The food was amazing and Hope our server was so kind to us out of towners on Mother's Day.

Dibs on some Ribs! Lucky for us, they had plenty of 'em. Baby back ribs were on our mind, on the menu, then on our plates! And we're sure glad. I figure I don't need a slab of words, just enough to say, "Come and get 'em!" Ribs. Brisket. Pulled pork. Yep. Between the four of us we had em all. Yummmmmmm read more

Stopped in to Rib Country for an early lunch on a Saturday. I arrived at 11:05 and had to triple check their hours as there was no one else in the parking lot. Not surprisingly, I was the only person in the restaurant when I was seated too. My server quickly got my drink and returned shortly after to get my order. I wanted a hot dog but I also wanted to try their brisket so I ordered a brisket sandwich (sliced and "dry") plate with a kid's dog on the side. Food came out relatively quickly. The brisket plate just looked...boring...lacking...I'm not sure. You can judge for yourself in the photo. Maybe I was hoping for my fries or some sort of seasoning on the fries. Alas, no. The dog and the bun had both been well charred on a grill which was great to see. I snuck some of the brisket from the sandwich, chopped it up, and loaded up my dog with it. For a DIY concoction it was pretty great. I'd add it to your menu, Rib Country. :) The BBQ sandwich was good. I liked their standard sweet sauce the best though the mustard had good tang. Fries were disappointing. You've got all those seasonings in the back for your bbq, throw some of your fries! This is probably a 3.5 star review in reality. I'd return to this Rib Country or another location to try some of their other offerings. read more

See all

I had a great experience with this 4-5 store mini-chain. Convenient parking, clean interior, seated immediately, brought water. I chose their Brunswick Stew and Peach Cobbler with ice cream. Fair priced, arrived quickly, hot & flavorful. Would order both again. I'd like to come hungrier and try their ribs next time! Highly recommend. read more

Food was dry and beans tasted burnt. Fries were good. Service was great! Our server was very friendly and kept our glasses full.

The service was amazing! Everyone was super nice and cheerful. The ambiance of the restaurant was exactly what I expected for a place named "rib country". Portions were great. 1. The beans were very sweet. 2. Pork was very under-seasoned. 3. Fries were great! 4. Ribs were delicious 5. The beef was chef's kiss. 6. The coleslaw was the best I've had in a while! Overall, great experience! Highly recommend trying, if you're visiting from out of town. read more

I've 8 here a few different times in every time.It's super delicious. The service is friendly.Bathrooms are clean really enjoyed it.

Addison was our waitress and she was fabulous. She was pleasant and engaging when she came to our table and took our order. Her food suggestions were perfect and the food was delicious. We had wet brisket beans and coleslaw. We shared a strawberry cobbler, which was so good. If we were in the area, we would definitely come back for dinner and to have Addison as a waitress. Kelly stopped and talk to us, and she was also very kind. The staff has been well trained and leave the customer with a very positive experience read more

I was feeling frisky, so I asked my husband if he wanted to try a new BBQ spot for Vday. Our highlights were the baby back ribs, brisket, and the tangy mustard BBQ sauce. We also enjoyed the baked beans and sweet potato sides. The workers were very kind and attentive and sweetly wished us a Happy Valentines Day. If you're craving good NC BBQ, this is it! read more

Good food, brisket was one of the better ones I have had. Service was good as well. Will definitely go back again when we are in the area.

I ordered a to go order. I had to wait 30 extra minutes for my order. I ordered 3 tender dinners grilled with different sides. The tenders were burned severely... like I ordered chicken jerky. They forgot sides and left out sauces. This place used to be great several years ago....now it's absolutely horrible!!! Considering the price they charge...omg! I will never order from this place again...I could throw money out a window and get more enjoyment from that than I did for food that wasn't even edible!!! read more

Dinner: Cold dried out absolutely horrible pulled pork. Had to be days old. Cold rack of baby back ribs. Unfortunately this is a common occurrence in Hayesville. It's a small town and most of the restaurants are mediocre. I have totally given up eating out. read more

OMG, this place is so good....Mark was our server and he was amazing....the food was so good and they give you so much...we had the Fried Green tomatoes to start..My husband had the smoked Chicken Wings and I had the pull pork sandwich......the were so good... Our service Mark was so nice and helpful on choosing what we should try (the fried apple pies)...he made sure we had everything we need before we could even ask for it! The people at this restaurant really care about you and the food they are giving you. read more

Rib Country-Hayesville - A great time of family fellowship and food. - Barbeque Near Me - Hayesville, North Carolina

I have tried 4 times to call in an order. Twice it rang to some voice mail..... the other two times, someone answered the phone and immediately hung up. If you are so busy that you can't take a to go order, maybe you should just put that message on an answering machine! My dad is very selective on what he will eat. We take him Rib Country at least once a week. I may have to rethink that from here on out. read more

Was recommended to us when in the area. Did not disappoint. God service and great food. Ribs are perfect.

Visited Rib Country on July 20th for my sister's birthday. I have had great experiences in the past. Tonight however, was the worst service I have ever had anywhere. The waiter obviously did not want to be there. The other waitresses were equally sour. There needs to be some training for the employees on basic greetings and how to be a waiter or waitress. Will drive to Blairsville to eat next time. Ken read more

i found a fly in my ribs. the employees were also very rude, especially the one with the fat face and ponytail.

First time at Rib Country and the experience was wonderful, the food was great AND fresh! We also had such a sweet server named Paula, we came a little before closing and felt bad but Paula made sure we didn't feel rushed! We will definitely be back read more

I am a self-proclaimed bbq (ribs and pulled pork, specifically ) expert. If you like real southern style ribs, pulled pork and fixins, this is the place !!! Best ribs I've had at a restaurant, hands down! Their pulled pork and bbq sauce, delightful! Their baked beans clearly baked on an oven with all the extras like I do. And their coleslaw, yummy, most people make yucky cole slaw. The servings were whopper-sized, I had to take about half the pulled pork back to the airbnb, but the ribs could not be postponed, had to eat every delicious, messy bite. They had outside seating at nice, shady picnic tables. And they have 5 locations nearby. If you are ever near, check them out!! read more

Had the BEST brisket salad from this spot tonight! It was tasty, fresh, and a good amount of food for the price. I think my parents were a little caught off guard by their Burnt Ends salads- the burnt ends came smothered in a barbecue sauce (unlike my brisket which just was dry rubbed). I think for a salad they would prefer no barbecue sauce on the burnt ends, which is not typically how burnt ends come served in our experience. Overall, great salads. I enjoyed mine immensely and love their spicy ranch dressing and Texas toast. Thanks rib country! read more

Have tried this restaurant twice... neither time was enjoyable. They were out of ribs... what kind of bbq restaurant runs out of ribs?! So, I ordered a steak instead, but the sever told me that they don't sell streaks, despite it being on the menu. The fries were cold. The chicken was dry. The shrimp tasted off. Checked 4 different tables to find a ketchup bottle that wasn't empty. Brunswick stew, aka corn and Lima bean soup. I won't be back. read more

I went here with a group of friends to have a thank you dinner. It was great food, we ordered the onion loafs, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles and potato wedges as appetizers all tasted great. I ordered the shrimp and rids dinner. It was good but I'm picky on my ribs. Probably should've ordered the brisket as it looked amazing. The waitress was very friendly and on top of things I can't remember her name wish I could as she asked if we leave a review to mention her name. Only down fall my group had with this place was they don't serve and alcohol. It wasn't a big deal to me but I thought it's worth mentioning. read more

I had takeout last night and the brisket was delicious! The best I've had in quite some time. The ribs were very good too. I love the smoke flavor here. I didn't even add barbecue sauce (which I like very much!) I reserve my 5 stars for the best. I don't sprinkle stars freely. Haha read more

Rib Country is our family's go to place for dinner. Great BBQ and tenders. Also love their blooming onion. Always good service.

We love Rib Country for dine and take out!!! food and service are always wonderful. Keep up the great work!

Local folks love it, but compared to the ribs I am used to from Atlanta the ribs are tiny and have very little meat.

I like eating here. The servers do a very good job. The ribs are very good but a bit small- if you're used to super chewy meaty ribs this is not your place. The meat falls right off the bone, as it should. read more

The pork and coleslaw were really good. I paid over $14 for a rack of ribs and it was enough for my five-year-old grandson. Not sure what happened with the ribs. read more

Friday, August 28 around 11:45 am. We have family in Hayesville and usually come here 2-3 times per year for the past several years. I remembered it as being decent, not amazing, BUT I had to write a review because this is the best bbq lunch we have had in a long time! We ordered lunch to go and only had to wait a few minutes once we arrived and paid. I ordered the pulled pork lunch plate, and hubs ordered the turkey lunch plate. At the counter before paying, we noticed the fried pies and succumbed to the temptation and added one to our order. Everything was delicious!! Turkey and pork were tender, not dried out, our sides were cole slaw and French fries, great! And the fried apple pie was amazing! Especially since we previously visited a not too distant orchard in Balsam, NC, and their apple turnovers were extremely disappointing. Nice recovery for my baked-apple-something hankering. Good service, though some of the young ladies touched their face wayyyyy too much for the comfort of this germaphobe. My way of handling this is wiping all the containers with disinfectant wipes. Maybe not necessary, but it makes me feel better. Anyway, you should definitely order food from here. My husband and I were very impressed with their quality, especially in these days when eating out has become mostly a string of disappointing experiences. Thank you Rib Country Hayesville!! read more

Shortest rack of ribs I've ever had and barely any meat. It was all bones. Pathetic. Very disappointed. It was a joke and the joke was on me. The McRib is better than the barbecue at this dump and I hate the McRib. Skip this place. I certainly will not be going back. read more

I was part of a group of 13 hungry hikers today that decided to stop in for lunch. Service (Kristie) and food were very good considering our large group. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were pleasantly surprised by the fresh chocolate chip cookies at the end of the meal. read more

Great comfort food. The Onion Loaf was a hit with my family, as was the chicken fingers, ribs and brisket. We ordered fried apple pie, brownie ala mode and blueberry cobbler for dessert and they were all good. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Service was fantastic. Ask for a "To-Go Drink" on your way out. Worth a stop. read more

Peyton was a great server with great suggestions! Domestic ribs were delicious! Great smile behind that mask! read more

Staff is considerate and careful with my gluten allergy. Food is always consistent and tasty! Turkey, pulled pork, and potato salad are my absolute favorites! read more

We are staying in the area and decided to have some BBQ. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and spacious. I ordered the pulled pork plate with coleslaw, baked beans and a side salad. My wife ordered the #3 combo ( ribs and chicken) with fried okra and potato salad. My sad was God and fresh. The homemade thousand island dressing was delicious. The rest of my meal bland, no taste and definitely needed seasoning. My wife's was a little better but not by much. We ordered some blackberry cobbler and peach cobbler to go. They both came with ice cream. The peach cobbler was ok but the crust was thick and very hard, too hard to eat. The blackberry cobbler was bitter and seemed to be made with salt, a lot of salt and no sugar. The ice cream was good. We were highly disappointed and hope this was just an off night but we won't be back to see. read more
