The Real Deal BBQ is a pleasant spot located on 31, serving delicious barbecue. The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is a highlight. Dishes such as pulled pork sandwiches, with juicy meat and plenty of BBQ sauce, and ribs, which are tasty but could be better, are popular choices. The brisket is a standout, tender and flavorful, reminiscent of a traditional pit-master spot. The mac and cheese side is creamy and tastes fresh, while the cole slaw is considered the best by many customers. The restaurant focuses on quality and generous portions, with some finding the sides a bit pricey. Friendly service is common, although the noise level from a TV blasting over the speakers can be distracting, and some would prefer music instead. Overall, The Real Deal BBQ is regarded as one of the best in the area, especially for brisket and pulled pork, though improvements such as removing the membrane from ribs could make the experience even better.
