“My family eats here about twice a month and we are usually very satisfied with our meals. However, yesterday, my husband ordered an 8 piece chicken family pack with 2 sides, 1/2 gallon of tea and some Bbq. Sounds good right? He brings the meal home and I immediately take a peek and grab a wing. I bit into it and it tasted different. I brought the wing up to my husband and asked if the batter looked different than what we usually get. Not only that but the taste was off. It tasted as if the chicken hadnt been seasoned at all. The only compliment i had was that it was “done.” I go down to fix the kids a plate and i took the covering off of the chicken and a few pieces were black- burned to a crisp- inedible. Which explained why the other chicken tasted bad. I told me husband the chicken was burned and he told me he had to wait a long time for the fresh chicken... and apparently the burned chicken was “fresh”. Out of 8 pieces of chicken only 4 were somewhat edible. I was happy we had the BBQ as the second meat but when i tasted it it was bland and dry. Like “i cant swallow dry”. Disappointed, we settled on eating the mac and cheese and green beans and tea. A 1/2 gallon of tea came with the meal, so they filled a gallon up half way which is perfectly fine. Well the tea was rancid. Ive never had “old tea” but this was the equivalent of spoiled milk. The mac and cheese was also bland and uneventful. The kids ate the green beans. I didnt get to taste those but since the kids ate them, I assume they were good. Everything else was trashed. We would have taken it back if we had discovered the monstrosity of it all before it closed. I am HIGHLY disappointed and have never had a problem with inconsistencies in taste until now, but this was enough to stop me from going back.“

“CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM.

Hushpuppies were outstanding. I ordered the Spicy Buffalo Bone in Wings. Sauce was phenomenal, fall of the bone tender with a great fried crispy coating. Loaded baked totato and brisket sandwich also great. Chopped BBQ phenomenal. Not sure how I had never been before. Kenzie our waitress was top notch. Didn't miss a single thing. Be sure to give her a big tip“

“My husband and I stopped in for a quick dinner and the pricing was really great. The service was amazing! The food was great, there’s so much variety!! The only thing that sucked was the combo we got there was a $2 up charge for ribs which we didn’t mind paying but you only get two ribs. Very meaty ribs that were probably the correct weight, it just didn’t seem enough. However, with that being said these ribs were amazing. All of the food was SO good, the variety of the sauces are great. No matter what you like, you’ll get it!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!“

“Had the pulled pork and sausage. The pulled pork was good, particularly if you want a break from the Eastern North Carolina style. Best collards I've had in a long while.
The bad part - their digital menu was broken. That kind of thing should be fixed immediately. Online, I saw the platters come with Texas Toast. But it wasn't included in my order. I guess you have to ask for it. Maybe that information would have been on the menu, if it was working. Or maybe, since the sign wasn't working, they should go to extra effort to make sure a guest knows all their options. Also, it appeared that corn bread was part of the two sides you get with a platter. I've never heard of that. Usually, it would be included as a substitute for the Texas Toast.“

“Stephanie Food Truck was amazing! First of all, they came the day before to introduce themselves, make sure they knew the location to park the truck so there would be no delay, and they had enough people on hand to take care of the staff in a quick orderly fashion. On the day of our event, they showed up one hour early, staff filtered out and they served 111 people in an hour. The food was wonderful, Romero was so kind. The price, well let's just say - I was very pleased at the discount he offered and we WILL BE USING THEM AGAIN! Thank you Stephanie Food Truck, for a great experience, amazing food, fast service and gracious communication.DanielaNHS“
