worst bbq I've had in a very long time. easy to see why the place is half the size it used to be, and why there were only 2 other people eating there peak dinner time, Friday night. the one server there laughed at my girlfriend and wasn't terribly kind to me either

The mac and cheese is bland, meat is dry and on top of all that, it says that it includes Bread but it Does Not. When I asked about that I was told bread is only included if you come into the store, yet online and app does not tell you that, even though they charge the same amount.

I decided to have ribs for dinner and wanted North Main BBQ. I just knew I would be in for a treat WRONG, DISGUSTING TASTELESS DRY OVERCOOKED RIBS! I called the manager and he said, "It's better in the morning when they are fresh! He said I would need to speak with someone tomorrow for a refund. I offered my number to recieve a call back. He said he didn't have a pen to take my number. If I didn't live so far I would have went back. I never thought there was a need to check them out before I left. Little did I know that it would be the worst $55 I could have spent on 2 slabs of ribs. I don't know what has happened. Maybe they have new owners? I lived close by at one time and I always frequented there but boy things have definitely changed!! Don't waste your money or time because you will be very, very disappointed! Customer service was just as bad as the ribs!

Main Street Boil-b-q. Since having been taken over by the immigrants/foreigners, this place is trash. Service, quality or lack there of, and cleanliness have all disappeared from this previous landmark of excellence. This used to be the secret spot for the locals. Now, this is the spot that ALL OF THE LOCALS AVOID. This restaurant has no business advertising that they were on Food Network. They belong on Food Notwork.

I enjoyed the food here. The prices aren't bad. The pecan pie is delicious. I had the ribs, chicken and brisket. The chicken is by far the best, very juicy and lots of flavor. The brisket was okay a tad dry and I'm not a fan of their ribs. It's worth a try.

We were there right when they opened at 11. Ordered sausage sandwich with side and chopped sandwich. Potato salad was good. The meat you could tell was leftovers from the previous day. Very dry! Neither of us finished our meal.

I am a BBQ lover. Unfortunately, the food was very subpar. The ribs were fine but the brisket was very dry and rubbery. I didn't even finish it. The beans and potato salad were very average.

The food is tasty. Currently they have some construction going on and that feels slightly awkward but doesn’t kill the vibe completely. The staff here are very friendly and accommodating. The buffet sounds like a great deal. May have to try it sometime. If you are in the area give it a shot.

North Main BBQ has the best brisket that I have ever tasted! I had a sliced brisket sandwich with beans and potato salad. The brisket had a great smoked flavor, it was incredibly tender and moist, the portions were generous, and the house BBQ sauce was really good, too. The beans and potato salad were both good, but the item that will have me coming back (even though I will pass about 12 BBQ restaurants to get there) is the brisket!I saw on the menu that they have chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and a few other offerings and I plan to try those on future visits. They even have an all-you-can-eat. I could barely eat what was on my plate, but if you are really hungry - that would be would be worth a try. We went on a Sunday after church and we were the only dine in customers but several came by for take-out orders. I did not ask management the details, but there appears to be major renovation going on.Oh, and an added bonus - the prices were really good! My brisket sandwich plate that included 2 sides was $10.95!

I had the food delivered on today. The food was severly undercooked. I called the restaurant and spoke with Jessica Arriava and she said I could not get my money back. One of the ladies called me back on the phone and started yelling at me and talking trash to me. They have lost me as a customer. I will never go back here again. I just wasted $28.
i have been going to this place for over 20+ years... many experiences. some great ones and some demeaning. the old original owner use to call me "rice." True story. original owners sold it. and its been through several owners... but its still GOOD! the all you can eat 15 has gone up to 22 but prices of meat has gone up. 15 was a 20 years old price. This place is an institution, support your local businesses. keep it alive, the food is still excellent! one meat plate 9, 2 meat plate 12, 3 meat plate 15 + 2 sides. all you can eat 22.

Honestly was not terrible but that isn't BBQ anymore that would be featured anywhere on food network. The sauce is good because I'm almost positive it's sweet baby Ray's. I asked them not to put bread on my plate bc I'm allergic to gluten and they pulled bread out and slapped in on my plate. And I don't believe it was malicious but just a warning the people there don't talk to eat other. I made it a point to tell them no bread right out of the gate and it was put on anyway. They were kind and apologized, but while still good it was more compatible to dickeys than a premier BBQ joint. Dickeys isn't bad but it isn't where I would look for amazing BBQ is all

Services was great! I got the chicken, which wasn't dry but it wasn't juicy either. But everything tasted great. Mac n cheese was obviously homemade and want overtly salutary as can happen. I can't speak to price as it was a business lunch and my boss paid, but I'll definitely return.

This is NOT a barbecue restaurant. The brisket was cooked in an oven, not in a smoker. It was greasy and had no flavor. The beans were canned ranch beans - ugh. The sauce tasted like bottled Sweet Baby Ray’s. I only received half of the side order I placed and was charged for. The place was dirty, run down, had poor outside lighting and there was only one couple in there at dinner time - a clue. This place is not the same place it was. We will not go back.

I had a little bit of everything. The meats were nice, my favorite was the chicken. The potato salad was really good and so was the mac and cheese. Coleslaw was kind of salty, didn't really like the jalapeño corn, green beans, and regular beans. Overall the food was ok but the service was really good.
