Went there (Pt Royal)for the first time today only to get up and leave after being ignored for 15 to 20 minutes…bar tender saw us; the waitress saw us yet there we sat…I think we were one of 2 or 3 parties there at the time…will not go back and will work hard to convince my friends not to go there…what a joke…
We ate there on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Food was great! Fried pickles were excellent! The best we ever had! Burgers were good also. Chicken was great! our waitress was very good.

The Carolina Tavern offers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish, thanks to its friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a vibe that feels positive and lively. Inside, the bar has a grungy, rough-around-the-edges look, but it serves incredible Carolina BBQ. The ambiance is generally not too loud, making it easy for guests to enjoy conversations, especially during quieter times. The restaurant features many TV screens and tables of varying heights, along with a nice fish tank.
While some reviewers mentioned issues with seasoning and authenticity in the past, recent feedback highlights the food as top tier. Dishes like the ribs, which are described as tender enough to pull the bones right out, and the wings, with a sticky sweet sauce, have impressed many. The Big Pig sandwich, featuring pulled pork, fried ham, bacon, and cheese, has also received praise. Fried pickles and burgers have been noted as excellent choices as well. Although some meals may have previously fallen short, the staff's willingness to improve and the overall dining experience encourage visitors to return, especially for great BBQ.
