I feel I'm a NC bbq aficionado, and I believe this is the best pulled pork I've tasted. So smokey, moist and flavorful. Very easy on the wallet too. My order was 1/4 of pulled pork, collards, potato salad, cornbread and tea for around $10. Don't be put-off by the location....it's adjacent to a gas station. The whole place is decorated with trophies, banners and plaques from the numerous bbq championships they've won. Well-deserved! It's an order-at-the-counter spot, but the menu is easy to read and the staff is helpful and friendly. It's conveniently located just off I40 and is worth a stop! read more

Well organized, great customer service and good Que. The brisket was as good as any around. The chopped pork, chopped chicken and pork ribs were good. We did not enjoy the beef rib as much as the rest of the meat. The collard greens, Mac and cheese, and baked beans were all good. We tasted all of their sauces. All were very good with their sweet sauce being our favorite. The place was very clean and exceeded expectations. read more

We have neen huge fans of Redneck as evident from my past postings and we religously stop in a couple times each month whenever we travel on I-40 from Raleigh. HOWEVER - the last 3 trips have been very disappointing. Tue - Thur and Sat are Burnt Ends days. We do our best to stop in on those days as these are normally incredible. Last visit was at lunch. Burnt ends consisted of under cooked brisket cut into chunks doused in sauce and blackened using a torch - all transpiring in full view of the customer. I brought a friend with me who I have raved about Redneck to for years. It was bad. I did not eat my burnt ends. Tough and chewy and gross. He could not believe I recommended this place. Unfortunately, I was both defenseless and embarassed. Twice before that bad lunch, things have not been so good. The place is losing its soul. What a shame. read more

The Mac and cheese is amazing.also has nice attentive staff. The restaurant is always clean while busy.

This place is awesome!! Customer service, atmosphere, and the food is excellent!! In my opinion, best barbecue in the area!

Awesome place. Highly recommended. Everything is just delicious. We're excited we are moving closer soon. read more

The food presentation was appealing to the eye. However, the macaroni cheese was box because it had that orange bright glow & gluey taste. I never did taste the Jalapeño in the Mac. The string beans tasted right out of the can with very little seasonings. The ribs were alright tender & moist. The price didn't match up to the quality of food. read more

Redneck BBQ lab is very good! Everyone is super nice as well. It is a little pricey but we'll worth it. Totally recommend

Be ready to wait in line FOREVER for mediocre food. Do NOT Eben attempt take out cause that takes even longer. And they do not apologize or care that they take your order and then make you wait 15 plus minutes for your food. If there is a drive through it should be faster. Inside we waited 10 mins for food too. ​ It's not even as good as they claim. Do NOT waste your time and money here read more

Hubs says this is in his all -time Top 5 for BBQ joints. Unfortunately Benson is the middle of nowhere. Maybe not worth going way out of your way to get here, but definitely stop if you're in the area. A lot of meat on the pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw wasn't overpowering, sauce was so good, and sandwich was not messy. Corn bread was sweet and tasty, not bland like so many are. Bbq potatoes were a little too sweet. Dole whip pineapple cone was a unique find! Have never seen that at another restaurant before (besides Disney World). This business caters and appears to have a taco truck as well...would be interested in trying that. Outdoor picnic tables were very helpful since the inside dining was closed today (drive thru only) as they appeared to be doing some renovations. read more

After pondering about dinner, I decided to give Redneck BBQ Lab food truck (located in Hope Mills) a try. I was so excited. My take away plate consisted of four ribs, mac&cheese, coleslaw and hush puppies. My excitement quickly turned to disappointment and pure horror. After eating rib two I noticed a long blond hair in my food. I was disgusted and completely lost my appetite. I trashed the food. If I could give 0 stars I would. This was my first and last time. read more

My husband and I LOVE this place! Every time we make a trip to JPs bakery we stop by Redneck bbq. We love the variety of items offered, as many small BBQ joints only offer pulled or chopped pork and a few sides. Yesterday I got their Saturday special which is burnt ends and a beef sausage. Yum! The tater salad on the side was good too. But if you're there one of the 3 days they offer the burnt ends, do yourself a favor and get them! My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and really enjoyed it as well, but I definitely made the better selection in my opinion! read more

No thrills restaurant with good BBQ. The location is perfect if you want to make a stop while driving down 40 which my wife and I did on a Sunday a couple weeks ago. In fact for my wife and I it's perfect because we can stop here for gas and BBQ on the way to the beach. The restaurant is small. You walk from the entrance to the far left and order at the counter. The first thing you notice walking in is how small the restaurant is. The second thing you notice is the trophies displayed proudly behind the counter. I ordered a BBQ sandwich with slaw and an order of cornbread. The cornbread is as good if not better than any cornbread you'll find. Maybe a little too sweet but moist with crisp edges. I find most cornbread needs butter but not this cornbread. As far as the pork it had a really nice smoke profile, was coarsely pulled and was piled high on my sandwich. The roll was substantial enough to hold it all together. Truly very good BBQ. It's my hope that eventually the Redneck BBQ Lab will open a freestanding restaurant. Serving food as good as what they offer deserves its own space. read more

Food is ok, actually comparing to City BBQ quite expensive for what you get ( and they will charge an extra 3% from July 2024 if you do not pay cash) For 2 thin slices of brisket, 2 sides ( like beans and potato salad) and a drink approx $15. Service ok. read more

Don't really need to say anything, it's Redneck BBQ Lab. Enough said! Best around and professionally managed!

The pulled pork is so tender is melts in your mouth. ,o need to chew. They are BBQ competition winners and I can see why!!!

Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. Customer service is always on point and we even love their food trucks when we've stopped and tried them out. read more

Good food they run out fast. I can't say that I have any complaints at all staff are pretty nice also

Food is delicious. Needs a better drive through. We are regulars. Love the BBQ and half rack. read more

I was a little worried when we pulled up, but food was good. The smoked Turkey was surprisingly our favorite thing. Brisket was a little dry. read more

Fat redneck sandwich is where it's at. Wish the potato salad tasted better but plenty of other sides to choose from. Brunswick stew and the Mac and cheese are great. read more

All the meat is delicious! Brisket or burnt ends are my favorite. If only they served beer.

Always great food Friendly staff Not a long wait. Love it!! Been going since they opened. My favorite bbq joint. read more

Everything was Delicious! We ordered the monster sandwich, and a little of almost everything else. Pastrami was delicious. Brisket was good. Mac and cheese was good too. Cornbread was good. It was a long wait and out of the way. Not sure how much trouble is worth going through to go again? read more

Food is pretty standard for a local barbecue place. The pork ribs are by far the best. Went during COVID so the experience may be affected by that. I preordered a meal first thing in the morning for 5:30 and it was not ready until 6:18 - and that was only due to a kind employee who noticed how long I had been standing there. When you first arrive and give your name at the counter the guy would say "its over there" which you are supposed to interpret as it's still in the ticket line and being worked on. Every person he said that to was very confused for a minute or two. They were also out of the Brisket Mac and Cheese I had ordered which is disappointing - I specifically pre-ordered so I wouldn't have to worry about them running out of things. There is not a lot of places to stand and it got pretty crowded while waiting. They do have a sign indicating masks should be worn but it is only followed by probably about 50 or 60% of the customers. read more

We wondered if we wanted to wait in line or go some place else. Then we figured if people were willing to wait in line it must be for something good. We were right. Everything we saw or sampled was great. Don't judge a book by it's cover. This is a sleeper, hidden away for those who take the risk. Marked on our list of places to stop at agin when we travel by. read more

Best rids I ever had and best collard greens. Their pull pork is great. The burned ends is the die for.

Great food and very busy I would call a head next time had to wait half my lunch time in line

We were waiting at 11am for this place to open, part of line that formed. Great BBQ options and award winning sauces. I had a brisket meal and it was a solid lunch portion. Collards and green bean sides kept it Keto! The owner stopped by a couple of times to fill our drinks and make sure the food was what we expected. Give yourself extra time on the way to/from RDU and stop in! read more

I do a bit of traveling for work and I always try to find a bbq place on each trip. I also smoke meats at home so I can be a bit picky. Trust me, this one is not to be missed. The brisket was very moist and tender with a nice smoke ring. Pulled pork was flavorful and fresh. Sometimes the pork can get funky if it sits for a while but that's not the case here. The sides were kind of average but still fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be returning if I'm in Garner again. Would highly recommend read more

Excellent bbq sandwich, and their sauce is amazing! The side of collards I got was good, but I think next time I'd try something else.

I REALLY wanted to like this place but they just aren't as good as City BBQ. Ordered brisket, pulled pork and burnt ends. Brisket was not smokey at all and no dry rub, just bland. The burnt ends come sauced. I requested no sauce and was told no, they make them that way. Ok I'll give them a shot. No, just tasted like pork chunks in sugary sauce. Won't be back. read more

I ordered the turkey plate and the fiancee had the brisket.She loved the brisket, having it once before, did not like the boiled potatoes whatsoever. I had the turkey...moist, but no flavor at all. It did not taste like it was smoked. I did not get a side since they do not offer french fries. The best smoked turkey by far around here is at Texas Pit BBQ in Angier. Also, my fiancee does love their brisket as she tends to like it on the leaner side. read more

Some of the best brisket and pulled pork I've had in a long time. The fine was to the road so I had to stop and try them out.

This place is sooooo tasty! I was recommended to order the ribs and I am glad that I did! They fall off of the bone and could be eaten with a fork. The staff was helpful and friendly and despite being attached to a gas station this restaurant is spotless. Service was quick and my portions were huge but affordable! 13 bucks for two meats, two sides, and a drink! Each "sawse" that they have is awesome, my favorite was their competition Carolina style. Sweet tea is on point too, and that's coming from a southern girl ;) 10/10 would recommend! read more

Outstanding BBQ - I've gone twice now, a 45-minute drive and worth it. I've had Pastrami - absitively posolutely great! Beef ribs - outstanding Brisket - great Ribs - excellent Pulled pork - excellent SAWCES are also very very good, especially the mustard based red sauce, Ohmigosh, had to take one home! Sides were very good, but I was focused on the meats. See you soon Rednecks! read more

Hands down, I had the best burnt ends I've ever eaten during Burnt Ends Thursday. Unreal. It's been 4 weeks, and I'm still dreaming about them. Maybe the best bbq I've ever devoured. read more

Great BBQ. Saw it from afar for a while and finally made it over for lunch. Can't wait to get back for more of that brisket

The ribs and the burnt ends were absolutely delicious! The burnt ends literally melted in my mouth! Service was fast and everyone working there was so pleasant! read more

Hands down the best burnt ends of my life. We did our order and then I got back in line to take more home. The green beans were delicious, and the jalapeño Mac and cheese was fantastic. The cornbread was sweet and light, and we devoured the pickled onions and dill pickles. read more
