Okay it's pretty simple if you are traveling through or you're remotely close to Rutherfordton, NC…read moreand have a craving for a simple bbq meal in a rustic setting do not drive past Corner Bbq. This little bbq joint is dishing out some great food at ridiculously low prices - it's likely this is a family owned business with very manageable overhead expenses. The process is as simple as the food, park, walk up to the window place your order, pay, get a pager and find a seat under the pavilion and wait to get buzzed. We just happen upon this place while traveling from Lake Lure to Rutherfordton and now I can't stop thinking about the experience and how in world I didn't visit here several times while camping in the area. There's not doubt this is a local favorite and it's obvious there are no strangers here, the orders come out of the kitchen fairly quickly but there'll be plenty of time to strike up a conversation with one of the locals or someone visiting the area and who was lucky enough to stop in for breakfast or lunch. We choose the bbq sandwich which apparently everyone but me knows that means pulled pork with either white or red coleslaw on a fresh toasted bun, it was absolutely the best bbq'd pulled pork sandwich I've ever eaten, as filling as this sandwich was I probably could have eaten two of them or not have shared. We also ordered a club sandwich which came piled high with delicious sliced Turkey and Ham mozzarella and cheddar cheese tomato and mayonnaise on toast (cooked and sliced onsite I'm sure). The staff here is amazing and very accommodating you can definitely have anything you're way. We opted out of a side and drink (we had drinks with us) and left here for only $12.00 which is unbelievable to me. I usually travel to this area every year so going forward this will definitely be a spot I frequent multiple times when I'm in town. Don't pass this one by....

When they raised their prices, obviously necessary, I overheard several customers discussing the price increase~they agreed the prices were increased a bit too much. I understand both sides of the increases. People in this area are poor, for the most part; an increase estimated between a quarter to a couple of bucks adds up especially when bringing the entire family after Sunday Church services.

The first time I went I had the garlic cheddar bites. They are AMAZING! Unfortunately you must eat them there. You cannot take them home and reheat them because they get hard as a brick when you do so lol. Otherwise I'd take home sooo many orders. And their marinara they give you is sooooo good and a legit marinara! The fries are also amazing and one of a kind! They're not just typical restaurant fries, they have a unique crispy batter that tastes amazing! I don't remember what kind of. Main meal I got that time. But the second time I got the Philly. I unfortunately had to send it back. It was extremely dry. And I decided to go with the patty melt instead with extra onions which was WAY better and to DIE for! What disappointed my fiancé and I was his first time, he got the buffalo chicken sandwich, and the chicken was huge and great quality and it came with cheese,lettuce, tomato and onion. The second time he got it, the chicken quality was horrible. It was a chicken patty that was smaller than the bread.. they made it open faced and it literally just had the plain patty and a piece of cheese on the bottom bun and then on the top bun, a squirt of buffalo. It was horrible. Overall everything is pretty great. But they do slack some days on certain items. I will say that every time we go, whatever server we get, is always so sweet, kind, understanding and a joy to be around!

We love Slim's! It has become one of our weekly go-to spots, and there's a reason we keep coming…read moreback. One of the best things about Slim's is that you can get genuinely good food at an affordable price--which makes a huge difference when you're taking a whole carload of kids out to eat! The atmosphere is another favorite of mine. It has that laid-back Southern charm and hospitality that feels like home, especially for someone born and raised in North Carolina. There's country music playing, plenty of character throughout the restaurant, and they even have a table made from a truck. It doesn't get much more Southern than that! My go-to order is a burger with pimento cheese and fries, and I highly recommend doctoring up the fries with their Cajun seasoning, homemade ranch, and a little vinegar. SO good! Great food, great prices, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Slim's is an easy favorite for our family!
