Real Q

Food had great flavor but there was not much BBQ compared to what I usually get on a plate at other places. Banana pudding was delicious. Dipping sauce was great. I bought a bottle to take home. Hot chips were ok could have used some seasoning of some sort. Staff was super friendly. A bit expensive for the amount of bbq you actually get.

On a scale of 1-100, this Q is a 98! It is absolutely, positively wonderful, wonderful barbecue. Sweet and tender with a beautiful smokey taste..A top 5 Q spot in NC!

I have been there 2 times now. I've ordered the big bun rough chop BBQ sandwich. It's a hot mess of deliciousness. The BBQ is top notch and their sauce is drinkable. The big fail is the smallest thinnest napkins ever. Lol. I'll be back regardless

Driving through and wanted to do something different. Between the 6 of us we had everything from the wings to the chopped platter. Sides of potato salad, hush puppies, and hot chips. I had the sliced chicken sandwich with coleslaw and it had a ton of flavor. The Hot chips were not too thick or thin, and cooked perfectly. Everyone enjoyed their food and I would definitely visit here again. Be careful in the parking lot as it shares space with the car wash and gets crowded.

Formerly Little Richard’s, Real Q has keep the vibe and the menu alive. Love the chopped on a big bun sandwich paired with tots. No frills Americana with great service.

We came during lunch to get a to go order. We didn't order ahead bit our food was still ready in a flash. We got onion rings and hush puppies for our sides with Chopped BBQ sandwiches. As I am picky about slaw I elected to get mine on the side, to my surprise I liked it. The BBQ taste great without any sauce on it, very flavorful. However they do offer one signature sauce which is very thin and soaks into the sandwich instead of making a big mess like some. I would prefer to have a couple of options for BBQ sauce but theirs was still good. Our food tasted phenomenal and we recommend giving it a try. In addition to the great food, the service was fast and friendly. We will be back!

When we go back home, we debate where we are going to eat but this one is always a must stop. Real Q - as they go by now, has been a staple in the Winston Salem community for as long as I have lived in NC. The prices are so good after all these years. The dip is perfect and the portions are so big! We love Real Q more than ANY OTHER NC BBQ spot. The que is smoky but not in a gross way like some others. It’s not overly fatty or charred. They balance it all out so well. It’s the best. We get large chopped trays with fries and hush puppies and don’t forget the cheerwine.

Delicious Pork BBQ. Pork was moist, hush puppies and fried okra were perfectly crisp on the outside and warm on the inside. Sweet tea was just right with it all. This was our first time having Lexington-style BBQ - it was great. Staff were very friendly and helped suggest some good things to try. Definitely be a place to try.

One of 23 stops on the fabled North Carolina BBQ Trail. We beat the lunch crowd here by about half an hour. By the time we left, the restaurant was packed-- and deservedly so. $28.09 purchased a pint of Brunswick stew and a side of hush puppies, as well as a plate of coarse chopped pork with red coleslaw, fries, and hush puppies. Two refillable soft drinks completed the order. although the slightly peppery stew and the crunchy but moist hush puppies proved so good that we ordered seconds to go, along with a couple of pieces of the chocolate pie. The red coleslaw is dry and dense, which makes it ideal for a chopped pork sandwich drowning in the house made version of the classic Lexington sauce. So, this is good eating, made even better by genuinely friendly service. Greeting customers by name as they walk through the door is always a nice touch.

Had the Brunswick Stew yet again on a recent cold, rainy day! It is loaded with sliced white onion, yellow corn, tomato, Limas, carrot, potatoes, and plenty of shredded, pit cooked pork. This rather thick, tomato based stew is considered a Southern classic, though like so many such traditional dishes, its origin is cloudy and disputed, between Brunswick GA and Brunswick VA. But there is support that the origin was actually in Germany - specifically in Braunschweig of the House of Hanover at the time! Both of the USA cities were named for that city. The dish from that area was a favorite of Queen Victoria of the UK, she of the prodigious appetite. Her spouse, Prince Albert, was from Germany, supposedly providing the culinary connection! The dish in this country began with the use of small game - rabbit, squirrel, and even Opossum - I've had it with rabbit and squirrel, but never opossum, wouldn't go there. As the area became less rural, the game was very often replaced with the abundantly available chicken. Like most such traditional dishes, there are many variations, with the ingredients being what was locally available as to beans and vegetables. I enjoy it served with homemade rolls or crusty bread, and a side of creamy coleslaw. The version served here is excellent, and the pork from the pit here anchors the dish.

Excellent Service. Very Friendly and courteous, at the counter and the tables! If you are new, they are willing to let you try samples of meat. Ambiance clean and comfortable. I added a star to your final 3-Starc rating because service is so noteworthy. Meat is okay, sliced or chopped. Hush Puppies are excellent. Regular slaw is good ... I like sweet slaw. Did not try red slaw. Negatives: Unfortunately, their BBQ sauce is just spicy Vinegar. Sweet sauce (you have to ask for it) is way too sweet. I did not try their hot sauce. Sadly, lack of a generic BBQ sauce is their weakest area. You might want to go down to the Honky Tonk and look at the sauce selections (several) they offer. Suggestion: Owners should try a few *generic online BBQ sauce recipes, and then have their customers taste test them, alongside their existing sauce. Do NOT label or identify them. I guarantee you will be surprised by the results. More Negatives: Brunswick stew is bland, and needs more than just salt. Definitely not worth $6.50 for a cup (8 oz) ... much less $3 for that matter. Suggest you also try some online recipes and taste test them. Overall, I don't think we will return. Just make some drastic improvements on your sauce and Brunswick Stew, and add a bit of smoke to your meat. Good Luck!

This 3 star review would be 5 star if based solely on the bbq and red slaw. Great! As it has been since it was the original Little Richard's decades ago. Second only to Lexington #1 in my opinion. That said, on the Saturday afternoon that I picked up my order, the service was poor. The person who took my order, promptly went back to her phone after I ordered. 1.5 lbs chopped, pint red slaw, a chopped sandwich no slaw, and a tray with red slaw and hush puppies. Got the order, started to the car and noticed pint of coleslaw, not red. Went back in and they changed it. Got ready to eat and no hush puppies or bread at all. Not sure if it's the kitchen or the lackadaisical counter service, but that holds Real Q back at this point.

We found this spot on the N.C. bbq trail list. Having had a few mediocre examples of N.C. BBQ on our road trip, I was really hoping for more and wasn't disappointed. This is definitely the best we had on this trip. The meat was moist, flavorful, and - probably the best part about it - there was a clear visible smoke ring on the meat and I could also taste the smoky flavor on the meat. It seems to me that smoke flavor is almost always missing on N.C.-style que. Both sides were good, but the beans were standout. They had a really nice sweet flavor without being sickly sweet. The potato salad was basic potato salad but I enjoyed it. The hush puppies weren't my favorite on this trip, lacking some of flavor of other offerings, but not bad. My wife had a chop bbq sandwich with white slaw and she was a bit disappointed in the slaw. I agree that it didn't really standout. The combination of flavors on my chop plate was definitely better. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. In my list of N.C.'s best bbq, Allen and Sons outside Raleigh was better but I believe that location is closed now. Id put this a fairly distant second with room for other places to jump in front as I try them. 4-stars for now.

We wanted to get something to eat nearby and my wife had this place bookmarked on Yelp. It is tucked in on Country Club Road and you would miss it if you weren't paying close attention. We stepped inside and were immediately greeted by the staff and welcomed in. We could also smell the smoked meat....YUM! They have menus printed on the counter along with menu boards. When they say BBQ in North Carolina it means pork. Beef brisket is not BBQ in North Carolina. My wife and I both decided to order the BBQ sandwiches, mine chopped and she ordered coarse with the slaws on the side. My wife ordered her first order of corn fritters and I chose tater tots. We took a seat and our orders were brought out to us. Everything looked great and we both enjoyed our sandwiches. The sauce was much thinner than we are used to but it was good, a little sweeter with more vinegar than I am used to as well. My wife also liked the slaw added to her sandwich, she also enjoyed the corn fritters but admitted she likes hush puppies better. The tater tots were nice and crunchy too. Overall, it was a good experience. This was our first "Lexington" barbecue and while it was different in some ways it was satisfying and we would recommend to others.

Good solid Lexington style pork barbecue. Like I remember from the early 1980s. Side items from a similar vintage style. The culinary world in the US, even in NC, has changed a lot in the last 40 years though. Much prefer Honky Tonk Smokehouse, which is just a few blocks away.

A friendly welcome and step back in time decor started our experience at Real Q. And from there the home cooked goodness continued. Our combined orders included chopped BBQ, BBQ (red) slaw, hush puppies, fried okra, corn fritters, fried fish, and fried onion rings. We are not BBQ experts but other Yelp reviewers are well-informed and experienced in this area for the BBQ served here. Be sure to check out their reviews. I'll provide a few non-expert experience details here. The BBQ was "clean", that is, we didn't feel weighed down. The pork is seasoned and smoked and tastes good by itself but I added the BBQ slaw - a ketchup based cole slaw - and the house made Dippin' Sauce, a vinegar based red sauce. For me, the combo was great. All the fried food we ordered was light enough that the coating didn't overpower the main ingredients. Of course, I had to try the locally produced Texas Pete's hot sauce on the hush puppies, and those let the corn meal shine. I especially enjoyed the fried okra side. The service was great! It was obvious the locals are regulars because they were treated like family. But, we are not locals and I felt they treated us as family over for the Sunday lunch. I'd definitely return here, especially on a Wednesday when they serve ribs or on the weekend when they serve chicken.

Very good southern bbq!! Great southern service. Totally coming back. The atmosphere feels very homey an welcoming.

Not the same since the name changed! Price increase but food decrease. Service is always good!

Food is good Service order at counter and they bring your food. Any refills, etc. you have to go back to the counter. Complaint- they raised prices and reduced portions on the Chopped BBQ plate.

This is a sold bbq spot. Had the ribs, luckily we went on rib day! Great hush puppies and fries. The bbq slaw was awesome and unique

I searched for a NC BBQ place to eat abs found out about this restaurant. It totally lived up to the reviews. It's smallish size is not an indicator of o popular nor how good the food is. It's quaintly decorated with old tin signs. The workers are helpful and exude southern charm. Highly recommend if you love BBQ and good food

For the Lexington style BBQ purist, Real Q is a spot that shouldn't be missed. Everything here is by the book Lexington style, from the variety of pork cuts offered, to referring to the slaw as "white or red" with red as the default, down to even the style and consistency of the hush puppies. If you're looking for a little slice of Lexington, NC style barbecue without driving a half hour south, this is your place. I gotta say, I love the sign out front. "If it ain't over wood, it ain't as good" which is the perfect mantra for getting good Q. Though one of my consistent complaints with the Lexington style of BBQ, is that somehow in the process even if it was indeed cooked over wood, it always seems to lose that smokey flavor. Even though from this area, and in my younger days a Lexington style evangelist (and employee of a place serving this style) I have definitely come to prefer the styles more endemic to Memphis or Texas. To the Q I was served here. I got a simple chopped pork tray, white slaw, hush puppies. This came with a side of the vinegar "dip" sauce, which is what we call it around these parts. Without this sauce, the chopped Q is a bit dry typically. Their dip is particularly heavy on the vinegar. It was good enough, and hit the style on the head, but wasn't anything that would outdo the BBQ mavens just to the south. The white slaw was enjoyable, touch of sweetness to it, thin mayonnaise. Hushpuppies were puffy and moist with a slight crunch. Overall, if this style of Q is your bag, you will not be disappointed here. The prices are right, the folks working there are friendly, and the service is speedy. I'll probably come back and try some coarse chopped at some point, and maybe some of their other offerings.

Great location, just sometimes difficult to get on or off Country Club Rd. Small establishment but as best seating as room allows. Food eaten in restaurant is always great, service is good and you receive very generous portions for the money. I have placed two orders to go over the past 3 months. The quantity has been good, but I have found on all occasions, the fries were cold and hard. The Cole slaw is also not nearly as fresh as I have received eating in. I highly recommend this location for eating in, but would go elsewhere for a takeout order.

North Carolina is known for its pork barbecue, and there are a number of truly noteworthy barbecue restaurants scattered around this state. None of those are in Winston-Salem, sadly. But if you're looking for the best pulled pork in this city, Real Q is the right place to go. While it may not be on the same level as some of our state's heavyweights, it's consistently good. One of the reasons why Real Q gets my business is because they bother to cook their meat the right way: with wood smoke. No electric smoker here, as is often evident by the lofting clouds of flavor producing smoke you'll see when traveling by the eatery. The menu is typical of a Piedmont barbecue restaurant, with barbecue sandwiches, plates and platters as well as burgers and other non-smoked options. The barbecue is Lexington style, as you'd expect in this part of the world. And like many of the Lexington restaurants, what you might call barbecue sauce they'll refer to as dip. And "red slaw" is available, for those in the know (if you're not familiar, give it a try).

My family loves this place! The bbq is delicious and they have the best hush puppies. Everyone is really friendly and prices are very reasonable. It's an order at the counter type place and the interior is clean. We tried the Brunswick stew tonight and it was great. Can't wait to get it again. Highly recommend!

Best barbecue in Winston.BBQ. Best of everything they make. Great atmosphere. I like this place.

One of several delicious, old school style southern bbq restaurants in the area! I recommend coming on Wednesday when they offer ribs and getting a rack to enjoy at one of the picnic tables on the covered patio. The staff inside are extremely friendly, and they do Lexington style bbq better than Lexington. I'm still not the biggest fan of that style, but we also got several other great food items, including the hush puppies and the corn fritters! They have hot dogs and cheeseburgers too, and free refills on the fountain drinks! It's counter service to order, and then grab a spot and someone will bring your food out rather quickly! Also make sure to get a banana pudding! Generous portion and so good! You can get a ton of food here for not a lot of money, too!

Finally got to eat here, last time I tried they were closed. Did not disappoint. I'm still getting used to NC BBQ. I had the chopped sandwich, wife had the coarse chopped plate, and we shared sides of onion rings, fried okra, hush puppies, and hot chips. Kiddo had the corn dog. Staff was friendly, food was delicious. The onion rings were my fave.

This place is on NC bbq trail? Must've been an off day I guess. Just about the most bland bbq I've ever tasted. No smoke. No bark flavor. Just dry and boring. Really had high hopes. Hugely disappointing. Two stars for friendly staff

Great service. Great food. Great decor. I'm happy I chose this barbecue joint to visit. I ordered chopped pork sandwich with red slaw and fries on side, oh and a cheer wine of course. Classic.

My favorite BBQ in Winston Salem!! I like the chopped bbq salad with ranch. It's the good ranch. Hushpuppies! So delicious. Don't forget to ask for some hot dip to pour on your bbq.

Decided to try another Barbeque place rather than always going to Honky Tonk Smokehouse every time we are in Winston and we are both glad we stopped in at Real Q. When we pulled up, I could smell my crack, which is the hickory smoke wafting from the chimney. Inside reminded us of an ol' fashioned Barbeque joint with the 70's interior and all of the old advertising signs all over the walls. They advertise Lexington style barbeque and they did not disappoint. I also love their slogan which is " If it ain't over wood it ain't as good" and that's a fact!! Walk up to the counter and place your order then some one will bring it to your table. The chopped barbeque was just right not being to course or to fine with a nice smoky flavor. The barbeque slaw or Lexington red slaw was spot on. Hush puppies were two bite size balls with a hint of sweetness and very good and you got so many with your order we couldn't finish all of them. The Lexington style vinegar dip complemented both the Q and the hushpuppies. We even liked the ice here which was those very small petite cubes. The only two dings were the bare metal tubular chair backs were very uncomfortable and like most restaurants these days they are charging an up charge for using your debit or credit card. Now .87 cents may not sound like much, but over the course of a year, these upcharges really add up. Overall, we left stuffed and happy. We wished we have visited this place sooner, but the wife and I agreed, next time we are in Winston we will be eating at Real Q again.

Excellent Chopped pork plate and the sides are so tasty. Hush puppies are some of the best I've ever had. Burgers are awesome as well

Picked up a BLT and a BBQ chicken special this evening and was disappointed. The sandwich was soggy and just overly not great. It was bland and unimpressive. The chicken was dry. Overall, it was not worth it and I wished I had gone somewhere else.

A Winston Salem staple. Friendly, good bbq, I grew up on their grilled cheese. Nothing fancy, just good. Half and half fries and hush puppies. Crispy onion rings. The best ice for your tea because it matters. A classic.

Real Q is the real deal. Wood by the backdoor and ash on the roof. Employees are always very friendly. Ambiance is of a classic southern barbecue restaurant. I have been eating here my entire life and regularly pick up a pound once a week. Chopped is my favorite but the ribs and chicken are great as well. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

I called on a Saturday around noon to place an order for 2 trays + a side of potato salad + a banana pudding for pick up. The order was ready within 5-10min. Both the lady who picked up the phone and managing the orders were very nice and kind. For people who still remember this spot as Little Richard, you might remember it was cash only. I haven't been back in Winston for a while, so maybe once Real Q took over, it started taking card or I'm not sure if it's because of COVID but Real Q now takes both cash and card. Some reviewers mentioned that people were not abiding by the mask rule, but this was not the case when I went. Everyone working the restaurant was wearing masks, including people picking up orders. People dining outside on the benches, of course, were not wearing masks. I also don't think the tables were 6 feet apart. I didn't see anyone dining inside, but the signs do say it's available. In terms of flavor, note this is Lexington BBQ, so not the super thick saucy TX BBQ some people might be familiar with. I've always gotten the plate because it comes with fries, cole slaw (I usually get the BBQ), and hushpuppies or roll. OMG the hushpuppies are SOOO GOOOD. So do yourself a favor and get that. The banana pudding was just ok. Potato salad was disappointing. I hear the chicken is good but never gotten it for myself. I've been eyeing the ribs that are only available on Wednesday though. Will definitely be back!

One of the best BBQ places in North Carolina. I had the corn fritters, BBQ pork and chicken, and a couple of variations of coleslaw. It hits on every level. This place used to be Little Richards, and Real Q improves on every aspect. Everybody here is super nice and the food is top notch. Will be coming here again and again. Thanks Pocky&Pam.

Good "Q" in a retro setting. In the area for a ball game my wife and I decided to stop in here for some BBQ based on this being formerly Little Richards. This place is a throwback for sure. Curb side service is offered proudly at this little restaurant off of Country Club Rd in Winston Salem. Inside has an old school soda shop feel with chrome chairs with red cushions. Tin signs adorn the walls. The space is very bright and nice and clean. My wife and I both ordered BBQ sandwiches with fried okra and hush puppies. The fried okra and hush puppies were both good but could have been fresher. They were hot and not at all stale but they were not cooked to order either. I ordered my BBQ coarsely chopped and I was happy I did. The pork had a nice smoke profile, was fork tender with end bits mixed in and just a little sweet piled high on the sandwich. The red slaw added a little tang to the BBQ. Our waitress was friendly and quick. We never had to ask for refills. The cashier was also polite. A five star experience this was not but certainly a solid "Q" restaurant.

Really good! BBQ was really lean and no fat. Enjoyed sitting outside at the table with our dog.

If you like Lexington style bbq, you'll like this place. I've lived in the area for 19 years now and I think I've decided I don't like this style of bbq. It's too wet and soggy. Not their fault, they're doing a good job at it. It's just not for me. I know, I know, you can take away my NC membership card if you want. We decided to call ahead for a carry-out order. We're still under some restrictions in NC for COVID-19 and they aren't allowing people to dine inside here right now. I wouldn't want to anyway. My main concern is that when I walked inside to pick up my order I was wearing my mask like we've been advised to, other than closing the dining room, you wouldn't have guessed there was a growing pandemic in the area. None of the staff were wearing masks or gloves. They were practicing no physical distancing at all. I want to support local businesses who I know are struggling right now but I can't support places that aren't following the guidelines for safety. So I don't think I'll be back. Certainly because I don't really like the bbq but even if I did, I don't have confidence that they are operating safely right now.

The Real Q serves their pork fresh out of the oven. I have seen the guys pull shoulders out of the oven (btw, they cook in a real seasoned fire pit using hickory wood), then they trim it, chop it how you like on the chopping block and serve it SO FRESH! You can really tell a difference from the electric-run pits of other restaurants and the dry bbq when other places refrigerate their meat to serve later in the week. During the colder seasons, they have a homemade Brunswick stew that is addicting. Not to mention the fall-off-the-bone ribs on Wednesdays. The staff is so friendly and you can tell a lot by the fact that the staff has been there for years. The sides are really good, especially the cole slaw (bbq slaw too), and the CORN FRITTERS and the best hush puppies anywhere around. For variety, I love to go by and grab a COUNTRY HAM SANDWICH which tastes like it came from grandma's kitchen. Last but not least, the huge steakburger with bacon & cheese is the size of my head and is so juicy ... I always struggle to choose between this and the coarse chopped "outside brown" tray. The fresh made sweet tea is exactly what southern tea should be and I love the ice pellets! They used to take cash only, but now take credit cards, they have some outside seating and they do CURB SERVICE!

I've lived in the Winston Salem area for the past 11 yrs and have been driving by this restaurant not realizing what a gem this place really is and finally stopped in for lunch. I regret not stopping in a heck of a lot sooner!! Very comfortable, low key atmosphere that ensures there's great bbq quality food within the walls of the restaurant. Wait staff were awesome and quick to get my drink order and food take order. In no time at all my food was brought out. Food was amazing! Perfectly made bbq! A ton of food for an extremely reasonable price. I have not had better hush puppies before! Waitress was great to make sure drinks were always topped off. I can't think of any negative thing to say. I will certainly be back again and if you've never eaten here before - don't make the same mistake I did. Eat there NOW!!

I drove by this place often at night and it does close at 8 so I finally stopped in one afternoon and ordered a pound of chopped bbq to go with Cole slaw. Well worth the price and as delicious as famous Lexington BBQ. I definitely added the hot sauce and for me as a single person, I was able to get six sandwiches at home for the price of a pound!!

It's real Q in the sense that there are old signs and BBQ. I Think they even smoke it, using real wood. It was an old chain. I remember it wasn't bad, and the waittress was quite young and attractive. She was pleasant. The bbq was pulled pork. The sauce was mustard based, though they had some different flavors. I'd come back, good everyday feel to the joint. More like 3.65 stars, but I'll spot em a few points.

I have eaten a lot of slow-cooked Lexington-style barbecue, and the Real Q may be the best. I won't miss eating here whenever I'm in town from out of state. The vinegar-based sauce, Texas Pete hot sauce, cole slaw, hush puppies, French fries, and desserts are great. Finally, the staff is friendly and helpful. Remember to bring cash (no cards accepted).

Oh Em Gheeeeeee - went for lunch one day and could NOT get over it!! HAD to go back the next day for a sammich and dinner for the fam!! What dreams are made of!!!

Stopped on a Saturday night to dine in at Real Q. As I understand, this restaurant is the original Little Richard's BBQ. The owners split up the restaurants & this location became Real Q. The place was virtually empty due to COVID. We placed our order & they called us to pick up when it was ready. The Q was very good with a nice Smokey flavor. It had little fat. The meat was moist & sauced out of the kitchen. The Q is a solid 4 star. They provide additional sauce with your order. The sauce is a thin vinegar sauce with a splash of ketchup, salt & pepper. It was great! The bbq slaw & hush puppies were good, but the other sides, not so much. The okra was home-made, but it should have been cooked longer & the pieces separated. Not good. The fries were over cooked & contained many hard fries in the batch. I give Real Q 3.5 stars. I would recommend getting a sandwich & passing on the sides.

I wanted to try this barbecue place out. I wanted a hotdog and was pretty disappointed in it. Maybe I'm just a spoiled Davie County girl but in Mocksville the bbq restaurants serve the hotdogs with a buttery toasted bun. This bun came straight from the pack (cold) and they didn't even bother to serve it on a plate. Maybe the bbq is good but don't order a hotdog.

I hate ribs... no really... I hate ribs. They're overrated and chopped BBQ is superior. And I should especially DESPISE the ribs made at Real Q on their Wednesday night rib special because they were sauced (lightly) instead of naked. These ribs have turned my opinion upside down and rules have been thrown outta the window... these are the best thing created since sliced bread. Joint was busy for 4:45 pm on a COVID-Wednesday. Ordered a variety of BBQ essentials and all was excellent. Especially the white slaw (black pepper yum) and the homemade potato salad. I'm going to look past the round hush puppies as they are supposed to be oblong but they were delicious. Huge helpings and fair prices. Pay it forward and buy the hard working boys over at the adjacent car wash a BBQ sandwich. Share your love of BBQ with your neighbor and fill your heart with the love given by the delightful front counter staff working there.

Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was great! Super fast service, very generous meat on the small sandwich! Yummy hush puppies and friendly service, too.

We understand the pandemic has been difficult on small businesses. We have tried to support as many as possible. It was very discouraging that you pay and TIP upfront to walk around the corner to see a small sign that says NO waitstaff. This is very misleading and deceitful. When leaving, we talked to staff about this, and they acted as if they didn't care. We will reserve the right to spend our hard-earned money with small own HONEST restaurants.

First time eating here and I picked it up to go. It was fantastic. Got the half rack of ribs and they fell off the bone. A pound of chopped bbq, tator tots, chips, cole slaw and hush puppies. The family said this will be a new place to eat at.

BEST AUTHENTIC LEXINGTON-STYLE BBQ ANYWHERE! Friendly servers and staff, fast service, and THE best Lexington-style barbecue you'll ever eat! Very casual environment with lots of memorabilia that captures the history of Winston Salem, a town built on tobacco.

Ate there a few times was really good. They have a lot to choose from. It's a homey place everyone so friendly and have a good selection to choose from

My wife and I had takeout of theirfamous and delicious pit cooked bbq sandwich and coleslaw no need to look further

Wonderful ribs on Wednesdays! Deliciously smoked ribs, very meaty, great seasoning - worth every penny! Their white "sweet" slaw is some of the best in Winston Salem - love it as a side dish with my BBQ or on hotdogs. Another favorite side are the baked beans - very flavorful, goes well as side with chopped BBQ. Wait staff nice, efficient - checked on our table without being intrusive. BUSY place at peak lunch & dinner hours. Great BBQ - cooked over real wood - makes all the difference between good BBQ and great BBQ!
