I adore Cole's BBQ. I've been a couple times, but tonight is what motivated me to finally write a review. It was a long day and, with my mother in town (who LOVES BBQ), I wanted to make sure she tried Cole's before returning home. They'd closed up, but opened just for me to make sure I got my order. (This was lovely of them and certainly not something they *had* to do, so I really appreciate it!) The food was, as always, fantastic. Just the best pork we've ever had. My mother reports that the brisket and burnt ends rank among the best she's had. The hickory sauce is the bomb. Huge portions. Great sides. We're now planning another visit she goes home.

Absolutely the best bbq in upstate that I’ve tried. Nowhere else comes even close.They have the best Brunswick stew. It’s slam full of meat and it has just the right amount of spice along with a great Smokey flavor. Highly recommend.The pulled pork was tender, full of flavor, 10/10Good sauce selection.The owner is also very kind and honest.Will be back

We were traveling from Georgia and found COLES SOUTHERN BBQ on Google maps. We saw the reviews and decided to try. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. THE FOOD WAS ON POINT. The owner was very nice and welcoming. The picnic tables were clean. The sauces were amazing! THE BRISKET WAS TENDER and just perfect! The pulled pork was amazing as well! EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD! DON'T SECOND GUESS YOURSELF IT IS WORTH IT!!!

Never there during posted hours. Not a reliable place to visit! Other places are a better option.

Place was great! Cole was super nice to talk to and my platter was #1. So I tried everything. He even thru some burnt ends in for me. Go check him out if you love top knothole bbq

First let me tell you I’ve already ate a few slices from my brisket… SECOND stopping here to get some food today was the best decision I made all day! The BBQ sauces are amazing, but the flavor of the meat on its own is fabulous! The last thing that makes this amazing is it’s a small business and veteran owned and operated. The owners are very nice and you can tell they really care about their food.

Tried for the first time and it was really good and affordable! The owner was really nice and I highly recommend!
