YOU MUST TRY!! The ribs were cooked to perfection! The fried chicken wings were fabulous! Okra, bbq beans, Mac Cheese, Banana whip, sweet pie! ALL THE THINGS WERE FINGER LICKING GOOD!! Oh the jolly rancher lemonade was the greatest! We had to get another one! Over all it was a fantastic experience. We will be repeating customers!! Thanks for a pleasurable experience!“

“All Of Greedyman's Food Is Excellent. Customer Service Gets Over 5 Stars. But That Fish Philly Sandwich Is Awesome. It's a stroke of genius. No other fish sandwich compares. It's more than delicious. Try It as Well as all of his food. You will be happy and prosperous.“

“Ate at the Fayetteville location on the week of opening. We were excited to have them so close by, however, we did not have a great experience on opening week. I got 1/4 chicken plate. The chicken was much more bone than meat. Beans were bland. Variety of sauces is disappointing. Most southern BBQ restaurants have brunswick stew, which is a big reason for going there. I live only about a mile from the restaurant, however, I will not likely be going again.“

“Haven’t even got my food ate but the customer service from the guy working this evening was amazing even at almost closing hours he was very helpful and full of energy and had no problem serving even tho I came in late so I can appreciate the good energy. Just recently lost my father so you never know who you are being kind to.“

“Kiyonnia
Was an amazing server from the time we walked through the front door through the time we walked out.
It’s hard to find good service in today’s world and Sonny’s BBQ has definitely meet that goal of hiring the best in kiyonnia today.
And I will always come back because of the outstanding service I received today and definitely send others soon“

“I don’t get up this way often but when I do I always eat here. Great meat and three, great cornbread and biscuits, friendly service and the price is right. Can’t beat it. I know why they have been here so long.“

“I had the beef brisket with Mac and cheese, collard greens and corn bread. This was probably one of the top 5 best Mac and cheese I had. The collard greens were a bit salty but I liked them. The corn bread was good but a bit dry. The bbq sauce was great I got hot and it wasn’t too spicy it was just right. I would definitely go here again. The prices are a bit pricey but it definitely was a good meal I can’t complain. I had a couple of shots at the bar while I waited for my food. They had a DJ in there it was really nice atmosphere.“

“Ribs, Pork Chops ,Wings,Turkey wings. I've tried everything on the menu. There's nothing I don't like. The peach cobbler cake is a unique treat. .......oh yeah the jalapeño cornbread is the secret gift.“

“The services was great and the food was on point“

“Everything was good, I have been looking for good food. Freddy Mac's is the boom. Lemonade off the chain.“

“I love the business the food is tasty and delicious. Professional atmosphere and the customer service is always so nice. The owner and her cooks put their tender loving care in all the meals“

“Hands-down THE BEST American Deli location. I’ve been to locations across the south and I’ve had no other with service or food like this one. Plus, I haven’t seen another with honey garlic pepper. They make their Philly Chickens with heart too.“

“I come here at LEAST 3x a week. The wings are ALWAYS FRESH & FIRE ? ALWAYS!! I will say that I personally never order anything besides the wings only. I may someday try the fried rice. The reason for the 4stars is because my very very very 1st x coming here I tried a gyro ? & wings. The gyro was DISGUSTING & COLD!! However, the wings were GOODT. Which is why i continued to come back for the wings. Now, every time i go i get wings only & they are literally ALWAYS fresh & fire !!! I can’t recommend variety from them at the time but i DO recommend the wings & i recommend u give them a try ??“

“Decided to try this place since having new management and I must say that it is so much better than before. The food is freshly prepared, and the portion size is great for the price point. They have specials throughout the week and offer a variety of menu items. The tacos 🌮 have become my favorite! The wings are a good size and prepared just how I ask them to be cooked. Overall, I would highly recommend that you give them a try. Take advantage of the specials while they last! $1.50 tacos 🌮 😋 on Tuesdays.“

“Let me start by saying, I have one word and that is SUPERB!!!!!! After a day of errands, Shauni and I were ready to eat. After executing a search on Yelp, I came across GQ BBQ and we decided to pull up. Y’all know I love me some BBQ. Upon arrival, the location was super to find as it sits on the main road. When pulling into the parking lot there is parking on both sides as well as parking in the back. The outside was clean and vibrant. We knew we were in for a treat as we were able to smell the bbq before even getting to the restaurant. Yes, the power of a good aroma to captivate the sense of smell. 😜 Heading inside, the location kept with the vibrant color on the walls as to draw your eyes to the menu. There are ample seating options as well so if you desire to eat in as we did, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Taking some time to review the menu, I decided on the Rib Dinner with Baked Beans, Collards, and I ordered two orders of cornbread as well and decided to not get the white bread that comes with the meal. To note, the cornbread is an extra charge. Once our order was placed, we took a seat and enjoyed the games that were playing on the televisions. As we were engrossed in conversation, before we knew it, our food was ready. I retrieved my plate and headed to my seat. The moment I opened that plate, my entire life smiled. After being enticed by the aromas, I was now overtaken by the visual presentation of this meal. As I opted for the sauce on the side, I was able to see the ribs in their naked state and capture the full fragrance of seasoned pork without the coverings of sauce. Babeeeeeeeeeee, GQ BBQ showed off with this meal. Let’s talk the food: Ribs: well seasoned, tender, meaty, minimal gristle, the right amount of fat for a nice chew, great portion size as the dish comes with ribs and rib tips. The sauce was an added layer of joy. I opted to mix their Gresham blend with the Sweet and my mouth had a full mouthgasm of robust flavors, joy, and excitement. These ribs were the absolute bomb with or without the sauce. Baked Beans: perfectly cooked, well seasoned, fresh. Collards: well doctored, tender,perfect pairing for the ribs. Cornbread: absolute gold status, perfectly sweet, cakey with a light crumble, buttery, golden baked, worth the extra cost. The cornbread is slightly small, so I would suggest getting three. LoL. Overall, GQ BBQ was an amazing experience. The ribs dominate the meal as they should, however, the sides compliment the ribs very well. The entire meal is a 10/10 and I will be back very soon for another order. Though I live nowhere near GQ BBQ, I will make sure to make my am way back a few times a year to have my soul fed and taste buds tantalized.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Five Star Experience That You Must Try“

“I get takeout from This Is It at least twice a week. The food selections are varied & outstanding but we especially love the collards. The waitstaff is exceptional; always greeting me with a smile and even remembering what I usually order. I highly recommend This is It if one desires food that tastes like home cooked and service that is beyond compare.“

“Great BBQ. The baked beans were really good 😋“

“I’ve live in this area 8 years! And Tookes is a never miss ! My fave is the pulled pork sandwich! I’m funny about baked beans but these never miss!!! And mister in the back is fine ? sooo good food, great southern hospitality and manners… and eyecandy! I’ll take it !!“

“Michelle In concourse C was amazing. I was greeted right away and ordered steak and eggs took one bite of the eggs and knew they were either liquid or powdered…yuck however I asked Michelle and she was honest and I asked her to bring me a plate to remove the eggs from my plate. At that point she offered with more potatoes or fresh fruit. She kept a beautiful smile and was kind throughout the whole meal! Thank you so very much!“

“Everything I had was a 10+ with a large portion. I recommend this food truck for any event. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Lunch was great!! Loved the location, service was awesome and the food was fresh and hot!! I will definitely return without any hesitation.“

“Good tasting food! 🥘 will try again.“

“I had rib tips dinner. It was definitely good and I forgot to say no sauce so I could really tell. And it was still good. I don't eat cheese but the Mac and cheese look so good I had to taste it and it was good. The stomach ache (cheese) I ever had.“

“The food is bomb and good as always. And there's nothing spectacular about the atmosphere. You may run into some cool people to talk to but there was a guy loitering. I will say one of the original employees did get on him and make him leave. But the young girl at the countertop is rude as hell. She didn't look up she didn't speak. She's sitting there looking at people. Crazy rolling her eyes on her phone until I got my order and she still was real short tempered and I'm my OG at JJ's but I don't play with people children so I gave her the same energy and kept it moving. But a older gentleman got her put together and she finally smiled so

Vegetarian options: I guess the sides but It is a rib shack so you coming there for the meat I don't even order the sides

Parking: There's a parking lot with free parking but they always be packed so just depend on the time of the day. But you can park next door at the gas station, whatever“

“They really put a lot of effort into making sure you're well taken care of over there. The food is excellent, a little pricey, but the portions are VERY generous, so I always feel like I'm getting my money's worth. The service is consistently top-notch, I'm never given a problem or a hard time from the staff, which is difficult to find at quite a few places now, and they genuinely seem happy to see you there. They just upgraded the seating, it's a comfortable, hassle-free dining experience.“

“Absolutely a great meal. Fabulous service.“

“I’m so happy this place finally opened up!! When I tell you the staff is great and the food is phenomenal!! Great experience for anyone who enjoys Korean BBQ. The added bonus is the hot pot: a pot of your choice of steamy broth in which you add your choice of vegetables, noodles, meats and seafood. Ok that’s enough..come try it yourself 💞“
