20 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Indian Trail

“This is HANDS-DOWN THE BEST BBQ AROUND!!! Perfect bark on the pulled pork and smokey flavor. Great chicken, amazing brisket and the most tender, delicious fall off the bone ribs you will find. When I lived closer I would go 3-4 times per week and would literally have dreams about the bbq because the smoke smell would be in my hair and id be smelling it on my pillow as i sleep. I’d wake up craving the stuff 🤣 I even had them cater my wedding! Great pricing!!! This is not only the BEST BBQ around, these guys are just truly awesome people and a family business. Give them a try, your mouth will water for days 😎“

“Had Apostle Que BBQ tonight for the first time abs my husband and kiddos absolutely loved it!!! Great food for a great price!!!“

“This is the Cookout I have been going to for over a year and a half now. Most of the time, they get everything right. They are human and make mistakes sometimes, buy they do make it right if they forget something. It's always hot and fresh and its pretty cheap to feed full a grown man who eats a ton and myself for less than $25. The chicken ranch wraps could use a little more ranch in myopinion but I always put a little more on it when I get home. They can also give you a ranch cup to put on it. The quesadillas are pretty good too. Sweet tea is always delicious. Thank you for being the best cookout guys!“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“

I want too especially give a hat's off to 2 ladies in this establishment, GM Chelsea and our waitress Emma, they were great. They saw to all our needs. And I must say the food was outstanding.

She was thoughtful, friendly & very knowledgeable & sweet. She exemplifies how to treat customers. I was impressed, my meal was good & I was able to get dessert. Keep shining Cassidy ✨ 💛 💖“

The service was friendly, the restaurant looks new and well-maintained, and the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Overall, it was a great experience. I will certainly be coming back!“

“If I could leave 6 Stars I would. Rocky Top recently catered our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. Very professional and very easy to work with. All our guests loved the food and are still raving about the jalapeño mac and cheese and delicious hog! They were very helpful and happy to show our guests their hog and made the catering part of our wedding amazing. If they can do this well with a wedding I assume all of their events must be great. Thank you soon much!!!“

“I don’t usually leave reviews but the food we got Friday was so unbelievably delicious I had to. The ribs are smoked perfectly and the meat is so tender, falls off the bone and practically melts in your mouth. Their baked beans are so yummy and the potato salad! 💯 The potato salad is the closest to tasting like my Grandmas that I have ever been able to find. We will eagerly be waiting for the truck to be in Waxhaw again!!!!“

“I was genuinely surprised by how good the value is at LongHorn Steakhouse. I ordered the 8 oz sirloin, and for only about $19 it came with a large, fresh salad and a baked potato. The steak was excellent. It was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and a really satisfying portion. I’m a big guy and I left completely full! They even offer a 6 oz sirloin for less, which makes this an incredible deal for a steakhouse meal. I sat at the bar and received excellent, friendly service, but there are plenty of tables for parties of all sizes. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, with soft music that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. Great steak, generous portions, excellent service, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Definitely recommended!“

“Had lunch with a party of 16 there on Sunday after church and want to commend a job well done by our server, Lincoln. He was great!! Always had a smile on his face, everything come out as order, very attentive to our large group and great service all the way around. Steak was cooked perfect and everything else was great. But the smile and pleasant service from Lincoln was the best. Thanks Lincoln for taking great care of our large family!!!“

“The food is excellent, just like it has been for the last eight weekends in a row.
Today, I had to walk out after I was seated because the waiter was very rude.
I did not enjoy the waiter acting like I was getting something for free.“
