We called a several times this week and only once did anyone answer. They told us their hours "depended on how much business we have" but that if I called around 5 they could still take my order, but of course we called a few times between 4:30 and 5 and no one answered. It's January and off season, so I get it, but they should list limited hours. We ended up buying dinner 2 nights at other restaurants, so they lost our business and probably others.

Nick here was our waiter today at the Corrolla, NC location. His nice bright charm and funny personality made the experience overall amazing, not to mention the food was a 10/10

Worst food ever, ordered the 1/2 chicken, so dry, couldn’t be eaten, should have gone to Harris Teeter for cold cuts and bread. Don’t waste your money here.

Grabbed lunch here recently, and the food was good. Had the bbq pulled pork, as well as their fried chicken, both were good. Also tried their cole slaw, as well as their collards. Cole slaw tasted good, but collards were not flavorful. Wait person brought hot sauce out because they do not season their collards. Service was good, as well. Glad we were able to try this place after reading many good reviews.

We used to love Sooey's when they had a location in Duck. We've had 2 consecutive experiences that have brought us to the conclusion that we won't order here again. Chicken is inedible; cornbread slices are tiny squares/rectangles; mashed potatoes were gross. Chicken BBQ and pork BBQ were good- but so many other places do the same. If you order from here, skip the 3 Little Pigs and just do BBQ.

We were vacationing in Corolla and decided on BBQ for dinner. This is just alittle place but the food was delish! The hush puppies were amazing the tastiest I have ever had!
I won't say it was bad but.... There is room for improvement. Got take out, the order was correct and there was decent sized portions. The ribs tasted a little to salty and I personally don't like them so covered in BBQ sauce ( I should have asked for it on the side). Pork was a little dry, brisket was good. Hush puppy's were really good, slaw was very bland. I can see this place getting easily overwhelmed for dine in.

On my recent trip to the OBX . Last week . My Wife and I dined at Sooey’s BBQ in Nags Head. We were greeted by a friendly and Professional staff Member Kelly . She answered our questions and offered suggestions . We dined there and Let me tell you it was delicious. We had been there on our last trip too. We then ordered a large order for 62 people for 3 days later. We picked up the order . There was plenty of food and plenty for leftovers the next Day. If you having a Family reunion down in the OBX. Consider stoping by Sooey’s . You Taste Buds and Your Family will Love It.

I'm always leery of stripmall restaurants! Especially in touristy areas! From the outside this looks no different than the souvenir shop a few doors down.When I walked in you immediately are met with the strong smell of smoked meats! We sat down and ordered, food was out within 10mins. We had a basket of cornbread for starters, followed by 3 different combo plates. I had the Pulled Pork + Fried Chicken with sides of Fried Okra, and Classic Slaw! The other two people I went with had a half rack of ribs, and a pulled chicken dish. Everyone was extremely happy with their choices.One of the best parts of BBQ is the sauce! Being N. Carolina BBQ they have a very nice house sauce that had a strong vinegar and pepper taste. It complimented their meats very nicely. My favorite though was their bottle of vinegar, with red chili flakes. It was so flavorful and delicious.Being in a tourist destination, the prices were unbelievable. My meal the Pulled pork + Fried Chicken Combo was only around $15. it was one of the lowest priced meals I've had in the Corolla area, however was the most filling and flavorful!I will be visiting again and again during my next vacations to the area!Great work!Sincerely,Phil "from Foodnetwork" Tomasso!

We processed a take out order on-line in the morning for a 7:15 dinner pick up. They were backed up about 30 minutes, definitely short staffed, but the food for all 8 of us was a unanimous 10!!!

Your establishment at Corolla is a disgrace. I ordered from you in the past and we are here on vacation again and we bragged about how good the food was. My party of 17 all decided to give it a try bc we raved about it despite reading some reviews online how the Corolla location is a disappointment. We tried to order over the phone, no one answered or had us on hold for over 7 mins before we hung up. We ordered at the store, 4 racks of ribs, they were dry and rushed cooked. Brisket was all fat. They gave us 3 "dessert" things to heat up at home that had hair baked into it. We ordered and were told 25 mins, came back and had to wait an additional 30 mins bc they forgot to put our order on the board. To spend $140 there and have mediocre food, long wait, I would recommend staying away. Oh we asked for fries and were told no bc the oil wasn't hot.

Absolutely disgusting food! Understaffed and my bbq chicken sandwich was dry hard chunks of what tasted like dog food. I had 2 others in my party taste it and they agreed it tasted like in Sat and burned in a crock pot for 2 days. They upcharge for a kfc consistency Mac and cheese. Brisket Sandwhich wasn’t much better ! It was so fatty. Canned green beans. Waitress said she was dropping off drinks and would return promptly for check. Didn’t happen. I had to give our check and money to the people sitting behind the counter . Two stars given only because my daughter liked her $11 kids meal.

Worst barbecue ever. The brisket was so tough I had to cut it with a knife and it was difficult to chew and I finally threw it out. I've never had brisket that didn't fall apart. The French fries were frozen crinkle cut fries you could get at the grocery store and tasted like it. We were feeding 14 adults and purchased from the bulk menu. Don't believe what the menu says. Their quart container does not feed six to eight people. The wings were naked wings with mild or hot sauce on the side. Very dissatisfying when they're supposed to be hot wings and they're not cooked like hot wings with the sauce on it. The only thing that was good was the hush puppies. They were delicious. We spent $250 and got a meal worth about $125. Only visiting Corolla but if I come back I will not be coming back to Sports BBQ.
