We have been going to Hillbillies since it first opened. My brother and son even worked there for a time back in the early 2000’s. But when trying to reach the owner, Gerald, to see if they would host a celebration dinner for the Girls Soccer team at Holbrook Middle, there’s been no response. 3 emails & 2 phone calls where I was promised a call back and nothing. What a shame they cannot help out the team where so many of their families go on a regular basis.

We saw this place when we were across the street at The Racing Warehouse and decided to try it out. Great food, great service, super clean facility and friendly staff. Feel like I'll need to make this a stop every time I'm in the area going forward!

Still some of the best BBQ in Gastonia area it's been a staple here for over 20yrs & year after year they stay consistent with quality of food they serve. I highly recommend

I stopped by Hillbillies for the first time I'm several months. I got home and noticed I didn't get the extra bbq sauce I ordered. I was busy so I didn't bother to call them back. The next day my wife and I both had plenty left over so I called and asked if I could get the two bbq sauces that they missed. I was fully expecting them to say they would have to charge me again which would have been perfectly fine as I really should have called the same day. To my surprise, they said sure just come through the drive through. That is the little extra service that goes a long way for me. They always have good food so I would have been back regardless but this experience makes it more likely that I will return a lot sooner.

So, I scout places like this to build a list of establishments that could cater for the company where I work.Unfortunately, I have to give Hillbilly BBQ 2 stars overall for my first visit ever. And I feel I'm being generous!1 - When I said I'd never been there before and would need some help, a new employee was told to help me. She knew less about the food than me! At least I had some life experience to fall back on. ?2 - Nothing about the food was good on Saturday, 3/23/2024! I got beef, pork, and chicken. Seems pretty standard faire. I have NEVER had meat SO dry and borderline flavorless! The flavor was the hint of peppercorn on what I guess is was brisket. Very disappointing. All of the sides had a half-smoked kind of after taste that was not pleasant. It really tasted like it had been dropped into soapy dish water and someone tried to correct it so the food wasn't wasted. The tea was WAY too sweet. Is it supposed to taste this way? Well - I shared with 3 others, who gave me this feedback:"The hushpuppies are shaped like dog poop" (10 year old); "Is this beef or chicken?" (12 year old when eating a 1/4 chicken leg). I should explain...the chicken leg was completely beyond smoked and had croosed over to burnt. "Slaw was ok....I give it a strong 'meh'. Everything else, put it in the trash. Can you get your money back?" (67 y.o. Grandmother).3- $60+ dollars later (and I tipped generously, despite the situation)... Neither me nor my kids have a desire to return.For their sake, I hope it was just a bad day. I won't risk the disappointment to find out.

Ordered a bbq sandwich with NO SLAW and it came out with slaw. It’s not rocket science to make an order right.
The food is very good and the customer service is good also!
From my expert dad...the BBQ is a litte dry....i thought the Baked beans and slaw were perfect though!
