Fried fish and shrimp is the worst I have ever had.

Curly haired boy needs to be taught how to listen and speak to customers but other than that the food is always good.

My husband and I are from out of state and came here looking for a BBQ place that was not a chain. Carolina Barbeque is just that. It’s kind of dive place and we aren’t BBQ enthusiasts, so keeping those in mind we thought the food was pretty good. The young man taking our order was great. We ordered a pulled pork plate with fries, fried okra, and hush puppies as well as a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and potato salad. The pulled pork was good, especially with the sauce. The hush puppies were sweet and fluffy. The coleslaw was not very saucy and the potato salad was very saucy. The fries and fried okra were fine, but I’m not a good judge of fried okra. I thought everything was well priced. Overall we were satisfied with our meal.

We had fried flounder and baked Mahi Mahi plates. Excellent. The portions were big. The fish was super. Very satisfied. Definitely recommend.

The ribs were not good; in fact, I detected zero smoke taste. So though they were tender, that alone was not enough for me to rank them as good. The fries were not hot, lukewarm. My son had chicken straps. They were good. Ultimately, I will not eat here again.

Holy cow! Can you create a similar place in Burnsville, please!. Probably the best fried chicken I've ever eaten in my entire life. I mean it! Unfortunately for me, it's a journey to get up to Avery County, but whenever I'm headed north past Spruce Pine, I say to myself, "what the heck, I'm gonna stop there for sure."
Whatever those folks are doing there to produce such deliciously cooked and well-prepared side dishes is just top notch in my humble opinion

Not sure where to start. Like many other reviews this place needs a deep cleaning! Floors are gross! Decor bland, people working there just a bunch of unprofessional kids. Worst BBQ I have ever had. No taste, chicken overcooked and dry. Smallest pieces of chicken I have ever seen in my lifetime. Outrageous priced for what u get. I will never go back.

Disappointed, not sure how it’s considered bbq. Mac and cheese just tastes like nacho cheese. Pork reminds me of pork from a crock pot.

Carolina Barbeque misses the mark despite decent food and average prices. The menu lacks a distinct identity, blending various cuisines without excelling at any. The ambiance is lackluster, with dirty floors and uninspiring decor. Staff behavior is unprofessional, with excessive cussing and loitering. While the food is edible, it lacks the bold flavors and unique touches that make great BBQ memorable. Overall, Carolina Barbeque fails to leave a lasting impression.

My husband and I had lunch on a Monday in July. Counter service was helpful, friendly and good. Food was reasonably priced, prepared right and tasted good. Bathrooms were pretty gross, needing some serious deep cleaning on the sticky floor, otherwise this is a great restaurant to stop at when you’re traveling through High Country North Carolina.
