Food was delicious. Table stayed cleared of dirt plates.
The food was good, I got carry out. I was $22 for a flounder plate, I almost had a heart attack. It was though lol
It was a walk down memory lane. Ralph's catered our rehearsal dinner 40 years ago. The buffet is a nice option if you want to sample everything.

Ralph's Barbecue is a well-known restaurant that offers an all-you-can-eat buffet with a variety of dishes such as pulled pork, fried chicken with light batter, baked chicken in sauce, cream peas, Brunswick stew, mashed potatoes, gravy, rice pudding, hush puppies, and multiple desserts. The restaurant has a large menu and a spacious interior that is accessible for wheelchairs and walkers. The food is praised for being hot and delicious, with the fried chicken noted for its crunchy crust. The chopped BBQ sandwich is often enjoyed with sweet coleslaw and hush puppies. The buffet features many options of good country-style comfort food that are worth the price.
Many customers have visited for years, with some noting that Ralph's has been a staple for over 40 years. They mention that the place is a Wednesday and Sunday tradition for families to gather and eat. The restaurant is closed on Mondays. Some customers prefer the old Ralph's BBQ before remodeling, especially the menu items like the old-fashioned BBQ combination with chopped BBQ and fried chicken, which is a generous portion for sharing. The tea and cole slaw are described as old-fashioned and sweet.
In recent visits, customers have experienced busy takeout service, especially on weekends, with wait times around 25 minutes. One customer ordered a combo plate with dark meat fried chicken and chopped BBQ, which included hush puppies and three sides: collards, mac and cheese, and green beans. The BBQ is described as Eastern style with a slight vinegar zing, chopped finely, and the fried chicken as crispy and well-cooked. The hush puppies are soft and decent. However, some sides, like the mac and cheese, green beans, and collards, are considered flavorless and canned-tasting. Despite this, the amount of food was filling and offered good value for the price. The staff working the takeout area appeared tired but were busy and efficient, not unfriendly. Overall, Ralph's Barbecue remains a popular spot for hearty BBQ and comfort food, with a mix of traditional favorites and recent experiences that highlight both its strengths and areas for improvement.
