I ordered tri-tip and brisket with sauce on the side, the meat was tender and seasoned. The bake beans taste like can boiled beans with no seasoning. The potato salad need more mayonnaise and sweet relish. The bbq sauce was okay but I would add hickory smoke flavor. I had no bread with my food.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SERVICE. FOOD QUALITY. TIME. AND PRICES!!!! This family run business is second to NONE!!! I drive 11 miles each day to have them take care of me. And that's exactly what they do!!!! I can not only recommend this place. I would pay for you to try it, and tell all of your friends. Family and Co-Workers!!!!
Visiting in town. Read reviews. Went with some concerns about quality of sides, Mac&Cheese and Greens. They wouldn't let me taste a spoonful of either. I left with making a purchase.
This place is so good tri tip and ribs are on point chicken is so juicy. Baked beans are sweet with chunks of bacon potato salad has this little kick so good.
Let me begin by saying the service was excellent ? Very kind, friendly, and helpful.The fried catfish was pretty flavorful, tasted nice and fresh too.Found the Mac and cheese ? disappointing. Kinda on the stale side. And it just didn't taste right either. I did not like it.The collard greens were tender and very colorful. But they tasted nothing like the seasoned yummy collards I am accustomed to eating.Good corn bread though. Not great but good enough.Will visit Charley Rokk's again in the near future. I believe it's a work in progress with fantastic potential.
The website says it's open, and closes tonight. It isn't. The lights are off, and the door is locked tight. This was a waste of our time, finding this place online, and traveling over here. The hours were just updated six weeks ago. ??? Someone needs to make another update. I called, and no one answered. In speaking with people in the complex, we were told it is only open every now and again. I am going to save you the disappointment. Call ahead, or pick a different restaurant, altogether. We're heading over to Dickey's.
It's a small place but the Ribs we're outstanding I was truly surprised.If you live near or are in the area and want some good Ribs.Charley Rokk's is where it's at.
This was my first time visiting a Charley RoKK's BBQ and the quality of the meats were okay, but the flavor does not even begin to compare to Oklahoma or Texas Barbecue because even though it looked like it had been smoked it was absent of smoke flavor. The baked beans tasted like it came out of Pork & Beans can and the Potatoe salad was A-Okay so I will give a grade of C+ and will not return.
I Called to order food and and after I ordered and went to pick it up they didn't have corn and they could not sell me full racks of ribs I paid for my meal And brought it home and realized I was missing 4 sides went back to pick them up of course they offered me nothing in exchange for my wasted time and gas when I finally was able to eat food was horrible the only good thing was the coleslaw would not recommend this place ever!!!!!
Won’t eat here again !!! I ordered the ribs and hot link and let me tell you the ribs were so bland nothing to give you the wow factor the sauce was flat not at all good the hot link was just a hot link no bun no sauce the potatoe salad was terrible hard potatoes taste like store bought the beans were pork n beans in a can.. I don’t know about you but when I spend $16.99 a plate I expect to get some real homemade TEXAS BBQ !!! No food was out on display so save your money go somewhere else !!!

The food wasn't as tasty as I am used to. I had BBQ pork ribs, hot link, Mac and cheese and baked beans. The employee is very nice and friendly though. I will not be going back.
I was recommended by a co-worker. I wanted homemade greens, Mac n cheese and catfish. The food was a no for me. The mac n cheese was watery, fish was not seasoned at all. The greens were good. I didn't pay much but for 35$, you would expect the food to be delicious.
I was very confused when I walked in to not any food out on display, no advisable hours, and an eerie emptiness to the store to find out a change in ownerships. I used to love this place for years, but the new ownership’s decision to buy the restaurant and keep the same menu is a bad business strategy. It is clear they have a passion for Mexican food, with the emphasis and new advertisements on the storefront. I think they should pursue that and I think their business would be much better for them. Their adoption of the old menu, but without any of the recipes, provides a mediocre version of the food people loved before. I had Mac and cheese that tasted frozen, the coke slaw was just different, and the hot links weren’t hot. The tri tip was the best part, but it did not compare to the meal I’ve had before. It’s understandable barbecue may not be their forefront, but the lack of honesty is going to hurt their customer base. I would like to go back and try their Mexican food, as I’m sure it would be fantastic and probably a cuisine the new management would be familiar with. As a barbecue place, I have to give it one star.
Wow! I have never been more disappointed with food like i was today . Rib tips were nothing but bone. Tri tip was hard and chewy. Potato salad was hard and the beans tasted like pork and beans from a can . I should have known when i saw no customers to keep it moving ? i read further reviews not the same owner. .
The ppl (a man and a woman) were very friendly. The space is small and clean. It's easy to find.Both meats were very tender but the sauce was just okay. The cornbread was light and fluffy. I was surprised by how good it was. It would be GREAT if it came with a brown sugar butter or something. The mac and cheese was sadly the most disappointing part of the meal. It was gritty and pretty flavorless. But the guy said it's the most popular side. The yams were easily the best part of the meal. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor.I got the 2 meat combo for $15.99 and the portions are good sized. I was really too full to eat the cornbread, but I ate 3/4 of it because it was good.
