We picked up BBQ Joe's today for me, my mom, and my husband, and the food was really good…read more George got the pulled pork sandwich combo with Joe's sauce and slaw, hushpuppies, and pink lemonade. I got the sliced beef sandwich combo with slaw, okra, and sweet tea. My mom just wanted peach cobbler and okra, and we added potato salad and banana pudding for ourselves. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The pulled pork was tender and not dry. My sliced beef was juicy and seasoned well. The hushpuppies were good, crispy outside, soft inside. The fried okra was cooked right and not greasy. The potato salad surprised me in a good way, it had slices of bacon in it, which was different but actually really good. The banana pudding was good and creamy, and the peach cobbler was good too. Portions are generous. It's a lot of food for the price and definitely worth it. Service was good,we were in and out. No long wait. The ambience was good too. Nice spot, plenty of parking, easy to pull in and grab the food. No complaints at all when it comes to the service or the atmosphere. Overall, solid food, good service, good atmosphere. We'd definitely go back.

This place is SUCH a vibe! We stopped in for the first time last night to try their Twosday…read morespecial, and it was definitely worth it. The special comes with 2 margaritas of your choice, a trio of dips, 4 tacos, and 2 dessert puddings--so you get a little bit of everything! First things first: they do NOT hold back on the tequila in those margaritas, which is definitely a plus in my book. They were flavorful, refreshing, and actually tasted like there was alcohol in them! The trio of dips tasted incredibly fresh, like they were made right then and there. The guacamole was easily my favorite because they put their own spin on it with jalapeños for a little kick. I wasn't expecting the spice, but it immediately piqued my interest and made it stand out from your typical guac. For our tacos, we went with the Tex Meets Lexington because I wanted to step outside of my usual birria order, and I'm glad I did! That being said, I already know I'm coming back to try their birria tacos next time. I also love that they offer tortilla options besides flour, which I'll definitely be keeping in mind for my next visit. And THEN came dessert. ‍ We tried both the strawberry shortcake pudding and banana pudding, and both were phenomenal. Seriously, don't skip dessert! To top everything off, Andrew's hospitality was the icing on the cake. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made our first visit even better. He also told us they have live music every Thursday, along with other events throughout the week, which gives us even more reason to come back. Great drinks, fresh food, amazing desserts, a fun atmosphere, and wonderful service--our first visit definitely won't be our last!

The vibe iscasual, and lively, making it a good place to grab a meal or hang out with friends. It's a counter-service restaurant and bar with generous portions. The food and drinks were solid, with plenty of options including tacos and BBQ. We shared one plate between three people and still had plenty of food, including leftovers to take home. I grabbed a pineapple frozen margarita that was refreshing on a hot humid summer day. We happened to visit on trivia night, but it was difficult to hear the questions, so we didn't end up participating. Parking can also be a challenge during peak visits. The AC was also pretty loud, but honestly, on a hot summer day, I was just glad they had it! The open garage doors were a nice touch and gave the space a relaxed, open-air feel. Overall, had a good experience, the food is my type of cuisine so unsure if I will be back, maybe for drinks and appetizers for sure.

Tyler who is behind the counter is awesome, he always greets everyone with a smile and offers to let you try items that are new. If you have not tried black powder, do yourself a favor and go check it out. I will warn you, I find myself going there three days a week sometimes. Keith C.

The service was great with everyone there being super helpful and sweet to us first-timers. We ordered 1/4lb beef brisket (only my brother had that and really loved it!), sauced chicken wings, turkey sandwich with potato salad as a side, pulled pork sandwich with fries, and Smoked Gouda Mac&Cheese. Everything was delicious, especially the fries, turkey sandwich, Mac&Cheese, and the wings!! The place has a very warm atmosphere and we saw a lot of families enjoying their meals. Overall a great stop for anyone wanting to try Barbecue in the Triad area.

My main dish was the brisket sandwich and honestly I don't know what kind of glued meat was on that bread but it wasn't smoked brisket. The Mac and cheese and cole slaw were great though. The service from our waitress was great, though the fellas at the hostess stand are a bit all over the place and don't exercise detailed thinking in seating. Piling people together while open seats for better experiences are available. I won't be back but if a retirement home had a field trip this could be a pit stop.

Camel City Barbecue Factory was WORTH the drive to Winston-Salem…read more If I think about wanting really good barbecue from now on, I honestly might just drive to Winston for it. Love splaying the games at the table, the staff was very kind and it was a fun chill vibe there. We did the 3-meat tray and tried the pulled pork, brisket, beans and mac & cheese, plus I ordered wings on the side. The pulled pork was succulent, juicy and flavorful. I personally like my barbecue extra saucy, so I added more sauce, and after that? Perfect. The brisket was SO good, and those beans were hitting too. The mac & cheese was decent--not necessarily the star of the plate, but listen...I ate every bit of it, so clearly I wasn't complaining. Now the WINGS?! I was skeptical about paying around $11 for six, but once they came out, I understood. Big, juicy, smoked wings with that crispy char on the outside, and they were HEAVY with the sauce. Exactly how I like them. Worth every dollar. I even ordered another half-pound of pulled pork to go. My test for whether I really liked a restaurant is simple: am I still thinking about the food the next day? I was. And I was already thinking about what I'd order when I came back. Definitely going into my barbecue rotation.
