Our office got catering from this facility. Never again. 🤮🤮🤮
We traveled a long way to visit an authentic BBQ joint. The food was AMAZING however the service was absolutely horrible!!! My son waited over 30 min for a burger!!! Everyone in our party were almost done with our meals--- when wait was brought to staff attention they acted like they really care--- again food is amazing but staff thumbs down all the way!!!!

Brisket corn bread beans and mac and cheese are on point. Ribs not so much. It's a self service type place and even with that it kinda seemed we were intruding by eating in. I liked the service si k to wash your hands without using the bathroom. It's ribs w sauce sink is way better than wet naps!

FOOD: tender moist brisket, slightly tough and not-so-tender pork ribs, as they maybe came off the ‘cue a bit before their time. The sauces here were really delicious! The vinegar slaw was a bit lacking in seasoning. The mac & cheese could have been a bit spicier, and baked a bit more, which, yes, I know is more of a personal preference. The cornbread was very good. The butter was whipped and sweet with a very legit cinnamon note to it. I would consider coming back here if I travel through this area again, and I would sample the pulled pork next time.
SERVICE: prompt and courteous and friendly and explanatory. Excellent, really, and worthy of 5 stars.
ATMOSPHERE: basic, rudimentary and functional, with quality fixtures, but had a slight corporate franchise system feel to it. The hand-washing station and self-service of silverware and sauces are a very useful touch.
This place deserves a solid four (4) stars for the moment, and I would consider a reevaluation at a future visit. It might be one of the only barbecue joints in Altoona, or even this part of Pennsylvania.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy roll-in a wheelchair from the parking lot. This place is at parking lot level with a curb cut directly in front of the restaurant entrance.

The food was absolutely delicious the cornbread had my bussy gushing. I was creaming over how delicious the brisket, ribs and pulled pork are. I had to change my pants after this one from how stiff they are from creaming.

First time at old Carolina BBQ. I'm a fan ! Had brisket and pulled pork, both were excellent. I frequent BBQ in my travels and this was among the best. Bake beans are very unique from others, and delicious. Corn bread muffins are excellent too.
