I go to barbecue hut at least once a week to curb my fried chicken addiction. This is the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Sorry grandma, but it's even better than yours. They have daily specials and some of the best pie and cake around. They usually have banana pudding, lemon cake, chocolate cake, and of course delicious carrot cake, and pecan pie . When you visit one of their locations, you feel right at home because the staff is so friendly and welcoming and on the ball. They usually have a line of patrons, but it never takes a long time to get your order because they are so efficient. If you are in the mood for some good old southern cuisine than the barbecue hut is your destination. read more

One star for the sweet tea and one star for the clean restroom. Barbecue was soaking in vinegar or grease. If you like vinegar you may like it. Fries and okra were cold. Fried chicken worst I've ever had in my whole life. read more

Legit...good chicken. That old school buttermilk double batter fried to the perfect golden brown. Like a perfect summer tan. Crispy. So good. I didn't try anything else except the French fries. And they were crinkle cut which I love. But I don't think they were deep fried. Had burn marks like they were cooked in the air fryer or oven. But if you're looking for chicken, it was legit. Also, I went to the Owen drive location. read more

The Barbeque Hut - Two piece dark meal with double fries - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Went on a Friday at 1:40. Ordered two bbq sandwiches with fries with an extra order of fries. Fries on our two sandwiche plates were cold. We had to ask twice for the additional order of fries. When they were brought out to us by the tall blonde from the kitchen she had an attitude by her body language. She did not want to be bothered by customer. read more

I have been coming to barbecue hut since I was a child. They absolutely have the best barbecue in the area. Their fried chicken is always hot and delicious as well as the homemade sides. if you want the best eastern Carolina style barbecue, you need to visit this establishment. read more

If you like North Carolina pulled pork sandwiches or "barbeque sandwiches" as they're called, then this is the ONLY place you need to go. The very best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had. And the price is right. The staff is friendly, and the place has a "greasy spoon" appeal about it. And the food is delicious, no question. Don't be fooled by the looks of the outside. Go in and taste the food. read more

I've been here before and remember it being better. Service was slow at the register, and I ordered to go. The food I received was mid at best this time, also not what I ordered but didn't want to drive back at that point. I will try again next time I am in town, but if it's not better, that will be the final time. read more

"Down home kind of hole in the wall" is a perfect way to describe this place (nods to Melinda B), and I absolutely love it. BBQ restaurants absolutely must have that essential dive-y atmosphere to work properly, and the Hut does not disappoint here. But the food is where the rubber hits the road, and the Hut was on point. The 'Q was tender, flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth, with just the right seasoning to tickle the taste buds. The sides rounded out my meal perfectly, and the sweet tea was sweet, the way God meant for tea to be. read more

The Barbeque Hut - the interior of a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

I've seen this place for years and finally stopped one day before Cookout was buil. The Barbecue pork sandwiches are always ON POINT. Never have to wait upon ordering. Staff is friendly and know their prices by heart. read more

Quaint little place. Not much to look at driving up but the food is pretty good. You order at the counter and then sit down in the dining area. I had the small pork plate with coleslaw and potato salad. The pork had a hint of vinegar sauce but not overpowering. The coleslaw was very finely crated with a great taste. The potato salad on the other hand was more like yellow colored mashed potatoes with pickle relish. This was not good. Worth a stop if you are close. read more

The Barbeque Hut - Small pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

This restaurant has been around as far back as I can remember, and I go to it often. In the drive-thru, they have so many new people, about every 2 weeks, that the service is now poor. If you don't check your bags, you will likely not receive all of what you have paid for. So many times, this has happened to me, especially over the last 6 months. I don't blame the new inexperienced employee, but I do blame the owner who sets low wages. Mr/Ms. Owner: You get what you pay for. Offer better wages so you can hire an experienced drive-thru employee and not steal from the customers who pay for the products but do not receive them. Again, customer, check your bags before you leave the drive-thru. read more

Grew up patronizing the Ft Bragg Road location, which is some of the best barbecue Ive ever had. the food at the Ft Bragg Road location is alway hot and fresh and the staff is great. The Owen Drive location just isnt as good. Also, the menu isn't consistent at the Owen Drive location. Their BBQ chicken is suppose to be the special on Tuesdays, but of the past four Tuesdays I've gone, I've only gotten it once. Two times they said they ran out (before noon) and once I was told the manager decided not to have the bbq chicken on Tuesday. I have an hour for lunch and it takes me 15 minutes to get there, then I sit in line for another 15 only to be told they have no bbq chicken. Now I'm down to a 30 minute lunch, with 15 minutes of that being the commute back to my office. if you open at 10:30 and are out of your special by 12, maybe it's time to think about cooking more chicken on that day. It's a simple concept. read more

Look let's face it, this isn't a fancy place, but it is a great pulled pork sandwich. Anytime I'm in the Fayetteville area, I'm going to stop in at least once to one of their two locations. The food is basic, but done well. Definitely will continue to come back. read more

There are 2 locations in Fayetteville. My hubby prefers the Owen Dr. location, but both are good. It is my absolute fav. fried chicken and the only NC BBQ that I can even take a taste of. It's a long drive for us, but we've been coming since 1992! The only drawback is that their website (at least as of early Jan., 2023) is terribly out of date (and I means years out of date!) - the prices are a whole lot higher than listed on there. read more

All that matters are these facts: I ordered food; I received a wrong item; I ate one thanks from the plate; then, I figured out the wrong item was most likely pork and with its juices it contaminated the rest of my plate which I did not eat; I returned to The Barbecue Hut in my SUV from approximately 2 miles away; I requested reimbursement For my entire order, I noted the fact I had to return to that location on Fort Bragg Road driving an SUV and I knew they couldn't reimburse me for the gas; I was reimbursed for the plate except for the one thing I ate, not the tax, though I wasn't at fault for the wrong order. Of note, My Sister introduced me to this place when we ordered two days before the second negative encounter at this location. We ordered an eight piece white meat deal, not the meal. We're both budgeting Veterans; therefore, the eight pieces were to enable us to a second meal for the next day. We only only had six pieces when we opened the box, after we returned home. We were ripped off; mind you- it costs extra for the white meat only. This reminds me, I wasn't reimbursed for the plate being white meat only. I am well traveled. In fact, I'm not from North Carolina and I'm visiting here. This chicken is the best chicken I've tasted in my travels, in my home state, and where I retired. Don't get content with your cash flow and forget about consideration of others in customer service. more importantly, don't forget to give back to your Military community, if you care. My recommendation: figure out a way to become a place of business with Customer Service; then, train your employees. Also, find a way to show your gratitude for the Military Families in this Community. finally, your solution to reimbursing your customers who have to come back for what your business gets wrong is to reimburse them for the total order and grant gift certificate for their time and gas to return to for your business to get it right. I don't recommend this place because if you have an issue, like two pieces of chicken missing, you sure don't wanna have to drive all the way back to another long wait to get 3rd class customer service, nor do you want to give this business the opportunity to spit or do something else disgusting and deceitful to your food for them getting it wrong. read more

First time trying this place was good. Friendly and fast service, shorted me on fried but definitely will come back. read more

The Barbeque Hut - Two piece chicken side of fries and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Drive-Thru service was quick and easy. Only complaint I have is that I've never had Barbeque with out sauce. I'm from the south and the secret is in the sauce. Overall without the sauce it was still pretty good. read more

I went to this restaurant on July 7, 2022 to order a family meal for my family and receive the worst food I ever encountered the chicken was small as my finger dried old like it had been sitting out all day I didn't have any wings I could only get one breast I had a bunch of thighs that were the smallest size I ever seen the legs that were small as I stated before small as my finger I was charged over $25 for this food we couldn't even eat it my dog wouldn't even eat the food I do not recommend barbecue hut on Owen Drive to anyone prices are steady going up but service is steady going down someone needs to talk with these employees your customers deserve better service than this. read more

A pass at first glance but well worth stop! I was in town on business and this place was walking distance for lunch. There are apparently two locations, one is right near FTCC. The day I went they had the pork chop plate special, but I'd heard the fried chicken was good as well... so I got both. It was artery clogging Heaven! The fried pork chops were so tender and the grease was definitely not old or burnt and the pork chops didn't taste like chicken and vice versa, so not sure what they're doing back there but it's spot on. The large plates come with two sides, hush puppies and that day they had collard greens as one of the sides. The chicken snack was two pieces of chicken and a few hush puppies. They were out of carbonation that day so I opted out of their pepsi products. All in all it's a great, inexpensive bite to eat if you aren't trying to be health conscious. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was plain, the slaw.... not worth the time. The fried chicken was quite good... really fresh, a light crispy dredge on the outside gave the chicken a great fry. I probably wouldn't go there again, but if I was forced to, I'd get the chicken. read more

We always stop at the Bar B Que Hut on Owen Dr. on our way to my parents house for Thanksgiving. The Q here is great, eastern NC style, but the Bar B Que Hut's is a tad more peppery than some eastern NC barbeque. The 'cue sandwich with slaw is great, as is the often overlooked fried chicken, maybe the best fried chicken I've ever had. But I'm such a fan of the 'cue I don't order it as much. Though it's owned by a Greek-American this place is a great southern joint. Not fancy, but with excellent barbeque, chicken, great slaw, and little batches of plainly served and displayed - yet heavenly - cups of 'nana pudding. As others have noted, sometimes the women at the register can be a little off, but remember they are in Fayetteville! Bar-B-Que Hut is one of the few things I miss about my home town. read more

This is a great place to eat and yes it is open!! Does not associate with delivery services!! Does not deliver!!

I came to Fayetteville in 2008 and asked the hotel staff were to get good authentic barbeque and they recommended the Bar-B-Que Hut. I wasn't disappointed. The barbeque was genuine eastern NC style tender and vinegary. The sweet tea was just the way my grandmother used to make, sweet enough to rot your teeth out. The hushpuppies were perfect, slightly sweet perfect texture and moist. Today I returned to Fayetteville for the first time since and immediately went back to the Barbeque Hut. In addition to the pork barbeque I tried the fried chicken and the baked beans in addition to the cole slaw I remembered so well. Again, this place took me back to my grandmother's cooking, not greasy or dry, the chicken was perfect. You can't get anymore perfect barbeque, and the sweet tea is as good as I remember. As for the negative reviews...this is a hole in the wall neighborhood place. The best barbeque always comes from places like this, it's no frills. You can get a Large Barbeque plate for under 7 dollars and there are free refills on the sweet tea. Coming from New York this place is a fantastic deal. read more

After my buddy chose a bad BBQ place last time, I read great reviews about the Barbeque Hut on yahoo and the one location on Bragg Blvd here on Yelp. But when we arrived to see the shack of a place it was in, and the empty parking lot, we questioned whether we had the right place or not. We went inside to give it the benefit of the doubt. Inside, it's rundown, or just a hole-in-the-wall type place, although I thought this was a chain restaurant since there are multiple locations. It reminded me of my Grandma's chinese take-out restaurant. The menu board was one of those old cheap kind where you place each lettter, and some of them were of different color because they ran out of a particular letter. This place just straight out costs too much. We were hoping to find some good, genuine North Carolina BBQ, but the food was not up to par. We paid around $8 for a drink and a styrofoam plate with one fried chicken breast, some pulled pork that had too much vinegar and not any typical bar-b-que sauce, some hush puppies (bite-sized fried cornbread ) and 2 scoops of our choice of side dishes. We could have gotten a bucket of KFC for half the price. That was the first and last time we'd be there. read more

Appearances can be deceiving. I almost decided not to stop when I saw the outside of the restaurant but I'm very glad that I went in. The owner is the one working in the kitchen and is a very friendly guy. While the place itself is a little run down (yet very clean) the quality of the food and price more than make up for it. The vinegar BBQ is amazing and the price is great: Full meal for a little under $8. It's definitely worth a stop! read more

The Barbeque Hut - The large BBQ plate with fries and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

Fried chicken is delicious! My only complaint is that there is almost never any chicken available. It's always "It's gonna be 20 minutes on chicken" or "We don't have any breasts." This is at both the Owen Drive and Ft Bragg Rd locations. The last 5 times I went I had to settle for whatever they had or leave. read more

There food is so amazing and feels like home because everyone is so sweet and greet you when we come into the restaurant I honestly wish more people knew about this place . read more

We decided to find a good BBQ place locally since we are missing good BBQ from back home. Googled and this place came up. We drove up and it looked like a hole in the wall place and were like this place looks like its going to be good. Step out of the car and we don't smell anything.... No smoke... No BBQ smells. Hmmm... Go inside and still no BBQ smells :/ Getting worried. So we get ready to order and I ask the lady what come on the BBQ Combo plate. Her response was BBQ and chicken. Hmmm... I was expecting and answer similiar to sliced brisket, pulled pork, or sausage and chicken. Okay. We each ordered a BBQ sandwich. Can't really mess that up.... So she goes both with coleslaw? None for me. I also tell her I do not want pickles or onions on my sandwich (typical items generally placed on a BBQ sandwich EVERYWHERE). She looked at me funny and said it doesn't come with those. Okay. We get our food. Sit down to eat. Look at the food. What the h*ll?? It was a bun (already soggy on the bottom just by us sitting down).... the meat looked like those microwavable BBQ meats that come in the red plastic containers, except without sauce. So it was a white-ish looking ?blob? of pulverized meat! It looked like they had put it through the food processor to serve to people with no teeth or little chewing ability. My husbands was the same except for the coleslaw. It looked like it was sawdust covered in mayo. There was maybe a tablespoon worth of it on his sandwich. I managed to get down most of the sandwich because I was starving.... The fries were fine. They were the crinkle cut ones you buy in the freezer section at the grocery store. Of course for the rest of the day I felt sick from the sandwich. Probably shouldn't have ate it. DO NOT GO HERE.... read more

I don't know what the other reviewers are expecting when they come here. It's Eastern Carolina style BBQ, which is pulled pork with vinegary sauce. You're not gonna get brisket here (although they did have ribs when I went in today, which surprised me). And all good BBQ that I've had ALWAYS comes from some crazy-looking shack. I LOVE this stuff. I don't really get any hint of smoke at all, but I just want the pork and the vinegar anyway. If I want smoky I'll smoke and pull it myself. Nothing's better than a soft burger bun stuffed with vinegar and pork so sloppy it falls apart midway through. With some coleslaw and fries and HUSHPUPPIES of course! Dang, if you get them fresh those hushpuppies are the best thing there. The sweet tea is good too. I prefer this location because it's close to where I live, but my sister likes the other location. Either way, this is the first place I hit whenever I come back here. Large plate with slaw, pups and fries and a sweet tea please! And banana pudding if I'm still hungry after all that dinner. read more

I am just visiting after being away from The Carolinas for years and I wanted some Carolina BBQ. Obviously this place is a down home kind of hole in the wall, so the atmosphere is nothing fancy but the food (meat) was good! The fried chicken and BBQ was really . The hushpuppies and sweet tea were good too, but the potato salad and collard greens weren't all that great.. The breading on the chicken was very different from the norm and gave the chicken a great flavor. The people working there lacked enthusiasm, but they weren't rude or anything and provided quick and polite service. read more

I think the first thing you have to know if you want bbq is what kind you want. There are two types of bbq native to NC. Eastern is mostly Vinegar. Lexington (I think that's the name) is vinegar and a tomato type sauce. I think they use a different cut of meat too. I grew up around this area and really only ever had Eastern NC bbq, so I prefer it. So, the reviews that talk about it being too much vinegar or no bbq just don't realize there's more than one type of NC bbq. If you like the vinegar bbq, then you'll love this. I'm not even a huge bbq fan, but I love this! I probably shouldn't give it 4 stars because it is a little run down after all these years. I used to go there as a kiddo, and it's about the same! The food itself deserves the stars, so I'm going to keep it. I hope you'll at least give it a try! read more

I got the family pack of bbq. It was $15. It came with bbq, slaw and hush puppies. The bbq had way too much vinegar. The slaw was runny and hush puppies were burnt on the outside and raw inside. They won't be getting my business again. I will go next door to the Cook out. Their bbq and slaw is way better and cheaper too. read more

First of all...WHAT BBQ???? There wasn't any BBQ!! However, the BEST fried chicken. The outer fried skin was so crispy and good. I don't know how the previous person that wrote a review could compare it to KFC!! It was so much better. The coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, and hush puppies were great. The reason it got only 3 stars is because of the pork. Way too over powering on the vinegar....and once again....where's the BBQ??? read more

Couldn't tell you what the BBQ tastes like because I didn't get mine on plate after paying over $13 for it and only received half the hush puppies that I was supposed to. The chicken was tasty but away over cooked. The service was not good as the worker was too busy talking to the person in front of me so I had to wait until her conversation was over to receive my half plate of food. I won't be going back there again read more

I've been to the Bragg Blvd location twice and wasn't impressed at all, but after doing a little research on NC bbq, I decided to try it again in case my lack of knowledge caused me to miss something. The salty lady at the counter had a bit of an attitude, but wasn't rude. Kinda adds character to the place if you want to be positive about it. Got the large bbq plate with chicken. The bbq... I realized I wasn't missing anything the other two times I tried it. I just didn't think it was good at all. Pork is rather flavorless... there's the sweet tasting vinegar and pepper, which I could see but not really taste. There were some harder textured outer bits. But... it just tastes like it's missing something... or a lot. Eh... Fried chicken... was pretty darn good. Nice and crisp and salty. The breast was moist and tender. Hush puppies... nice corn taste... texture would've been better if it was straight out of the fryer. Slaw was finely chopped and refreshing. Potato salad was potato salad. Sweet tea was decent. I'm still not impressed and I think I'm done with this place. Even though it's not NC style, I've had much better pulled pork at Smokey Bones... read more

See all

Drove down for a soccer tournament and wanted to try the local BBQ since we've had good luck when visiting other NC joints on previous trips. Baked beans must have come from a can. Coleslaw had no flavor. Pulled pork soaked in gut wrenching vinegar with no seasonings. They filled the cups all the way to the top with ice. Do not waste your time, money or taste buds on this restaurant. Not even a good candidate for Restaurant Impossible. read more

The barbecue is alright, though not outstanding. It's appropriately moist and has a decent pork flavor with no smoke detectable. They offered straight cider vinegar and a darker vinegar as sauces. A hotter sauce would have been nice. The sides were pretty good and the hushpuppies were actually very good. Not a bad place, but nothing I would get excited about. If we were in the area and wanted decent 'cue at a reasonable price, we would go here, but it's not a place we would make a special trip to. read more

I live in Kansas City and love the bbq here but I set out on a quest 2 years ago to consume the 4 pinnacle regions of BarBQue. KC, Memphis, Texas, & Carolina. Carolina completes my quest and The Bar-B-Que hut is Carolina restaurant to complete it. Boy was I not let down! Pulled Carolina pork soaked in a vinegar bbq sauce was amazing. I don't think I can ever eat pulled pork any different. Awesome place and great staff! read more

If you're in the mood for southern BBQ this is a good choice. The neighborhood is kinda sketchy but I've seen worse. I suggest bringing a friend lol. It's pretty busy around lunch time too. Just take a few extra minutes and prepare for a wait. read more
