"When I was a young boy in the 60's and 70's this location and the other one on 74 were some of the best BBQ places in the state. Here is why ....they smoked it on hickory wood. I am not sure how they cook it now but it is not that way at either place. I am not sure what it is but sometimes we get the Q for 4 and take it home and it is pretty good, still not hickory smoked but its descent. The other day we stopped there to dine in wow what a difference. The meat was not good, very bland with no flavor and tasted like it was cooked in a crock pot. Also are you kidding me on the portion size, ordered a large plate and there is a couple spoonfuls of meat on it. I should have ordered the Q for 4 I would have got enough. Good people that work there very nice and I love the atmosphere. The huspuppies are the best in the entire country. I sure hope they don't change that. There are much better BBQ locations elsewhere where it is still cooked properly over hickory wood. Dine in portion size is what really gets me, if the food is bad at least serve enough to eat."

Food was average. For the price we paid, I expected our food to at least be served on real plates. I ordered a coffee and never got a refill. This restaurant kind of reminds me of a school kitchen, They cook everything in huge batches and slap it on a paper plate. The highlight of our meal was the baked beans, those were at least good.

The food was very disappointing, with the exception of the hush puppies, which were hot and delicious. The "chopped BBQ" resembled a mushy, pureed texture that could easily be served to an infant without teeth—seriously! It lacked any color or smokiness. Both the BBQ sauce and the slaw were overly vinegary, and I typically enjoy vinegar-based sauces. The portion of meat was quite small, especially considering we ordered the "large plates." On a positive note, the hush puppies were fantastic, and the service was quick, but that's about all I can say in favor of the meal. I won't be returning. Spending $40 for three of us felt like a complete waste. In my opinion, Ray Nathan's in Gastonia rema...
