Rolling Red State BBQ

Mustard is king. Everything had an overwhelming taste of mustard. But, I shouldn't complain. The couple at the next table were served raw chicken wings. Kinda sounds like my experience was bad, but better than theirs.

Wow!! Stopped on the way home from Asheville on the recommendation of a friend and well worth every calorie! Quintessential hole in the and wall look with some of the best BBQ, side dishes & desserts!

This spot is great for a casual bite to eat. They have very good food and I will definitely be back. I took away one star because of the appearance. In fact the first night when we pulled in we actually ended up leaving because it just looks so run down and there is a dilapidated hotel or something in the back. But after reading more reviews we decided to give it a try the next night and were sorry we didn't come in the night before. The food and service are excellent! Don't be scared off by the appearance.

The family and I were trying to find something different for lunch today when we ran into this gem! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was amazing. Smoked chicken and pork was cooked to perfection. The Mac n Cheese was creamy and delicious as well. They have a wide variety of sauces, to please even the pickiest of eaters. Best part was I was able to buy a few bottles of the sauce to bring home!! We will definitely be back.

Best bbq place in town! They catering person is always fast at responding and the food was great. The brisket is to die for. Don't get me started on the Mac and cheese.

We were visiting relatives from Lexington and wanted to find some good southern bbq. Red State BBQ was highly recommended and did not disappoint. There were four of us so we were able to order most of the meats and sides. The brisket was so tender and delicious. The burnt ends sausage was just the right amount of crust and flavorful. The star of the show was the ribs. They were fall off the bone. We ordered a variety of sides and they were all good. The sauces were excellent. The Mustard sauce was so exceptional that we brought two bottles to take home with us. The absolute best part of the night was Brittanie Kristina. She helped us select the food and made recommendations on the meats,sides and sauces. She was not only knowledgeable about the food but her attitude was pure southern hospitality. Each time we came up for something she said “have a blessed day” and I feel we did.

Yes, you could call it a hole in the wall place...not much to look at for sure. But the ribs were perfectly done. Even without sauce (which you add separately) the rub was really tasty. And I'd recommend the french fries. Potato salad and cole slaw were average.

This was my second time here and it was just as good as the first time. Love all the sauce choices and has the best and creamiest mac and cheese. I suggest the 2 meat plate as you get to sample more of the food options.

The beer cheese grits were awful! As for the brisket, it was cold and it tasted like pot roast (wasn’t smoked). Then there was the issue that they DO NOT have any water — nothing on tap or in a bottle. In fact, we couldn’t find anything that didn’t have sugar in it or caffeine (diabetic beware). The French dip sandwich was the best item we ordered. Their corn pudding is something you can make at home.

I ordered brisket that was great and full rack of rib. Ribs have not been cooked properly or long enough.

I don’t understand what all the hype is. My pulled pork sandwich was dry & tasteless as was the beef brisket. A big Nope 4 us.

I ordered my husband the double smoked brisket which was juicy and wonderful I ordered the half son ribs for me and I would say they are almost inedible. No falling off the bone here. This was a to go order so I did not open till I got home. The meat was literally crunchy. They would never get away serving that in house, why would they charge me $17 put it in a box and send it home with me, because they knew I would just complain at home and not return it. I wish I could attach a picture.

Service was very fast eventhough almost all the tables were full. The bbq was good and the portions were nice. The tri tip sandwich on special was very tasty.

Best bbq in the country. Trust me. Also Memphis sweet sauce is sooooo good. Also best coleslaw ever. Don’t judge the book by it’s cover-it’s simply the best.

Great BBQ, we had the chicken wings, ribs, brisket. All items were really tasty and alot of different sauces to choose from.
