★★★★★ 5.0 Melissa Nickerson-Pratt · Jan 2026

I ordered take out. Absolutely delicious. The sides are especially on point. The gouda mac and chees and the smoked potato salad were amazing. The fried okra was perfectly cooked. Also nice generous portions. I will definitely go again when I'm in town.

OMG! This place is great. We were flying back to Colorado out of the Raleigh Durham airport and wanted some good BBW before heading home. Mikes BBQ was a fortuitous find. The BBQ egg rolls are AMAZING and packed with meat! Their BBQ is fantastic. My wife and I ordered the 3 meat platter to share and had way more than we needed but, because the meats and sides were terrific we finished everything. We'll be coming back again whenever in town or near the area.

Had the chopped brisket which was very greasy and didn’t have much flavour let alone smoky flavour. The coleslaw was too vinegary for me so I couldn’t eat it. The Mac and cheese was a very small portion which is fine BUT all I could taste was pepper. The service was good and food came out fast . Very disappointed but should have known by lack of people both dining outside and in ( place wasn’t busy ) on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

This is a great place. Waitress & manager exceptional friendly & courteous. Always making sure everything is good. I only got hush puppies as a size & they were awesome. Just the right crunch & great flavor. I, myself, am not a fan of the BBQ as it is somewhat smokey; but that's just me. The sandwich I ordered was big enough to feed 2 people. If you like BBQ, give them a try.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Robert Dixey · Apr 2025

Overall Score: 3.9/10 – A BBQ restaurant with a decent setting and a few unique menu options, but long wait times, inconsistent food quality, and slow service overshadowed the experience. Atmosphere and Service: 3.9/10 – The exterior looks decent with BBQ-themed decor, and the interior maintains a clean and appropriately styled BBQ vibe with a variety of tables and seating. It’s a full-service restaurant, which is a nice touch, but the service was extremely slow throughout the visit, which could have been a bad day. Water took 15 minutes, food came out after 30 minutes, and the check took another 10 to process. The restaurant didn’t appear to be busy, which made the delays more frustrating. While the staff was very friendly, the experience was held back by the lack of attentiveness and po
