    Still yummy! Stop by on a saturates visiting a local lumber mill. Service still fast and friendly. I still don't care for the vinegary no mayo slaw, buts that me.

    Stop in for lunch at 11:30 on a Saturday. Note that there was a posting that prices had just gone up due to increasing cost.I posted photos of the menu so you can see. Honestly, my expectations were low, and they well over delivered with a delicious lunch. The hush puppies were perhaps the best that I've ever eaten. The Eastern Carolina style barbecue was moist, flavorful, accompanied by green beans, and a good tasting potato sala. The fried flounder was cooked nicely. The staff was incredibly friendly. My experience was excellent, and the food was fresh, tasty, and hot. The total price for 2 lunches with 2 drinks and a tip was $31. I look forward to going back when I am more hungry so I can try to get to dessert.

    Turkey bbq sandwich did not disappoint. It reminds me of home " that eastern Carolina "'flavor. It was so good, I ate it while driving .

    Not a shortage of turkey bbq! Felt like home "252 that is" it's the perfect spot for a eastern Carolina style bbq sandwich

    New Dimensions Fellowship Christian Church of Burlington NC closed our doors to attend Glorious Church of Raleigh for their Conference Weekend 10/29/23 and after our Dynamic Bishop Fed us with the Word we went to Carolina BBQ of Garner for the country eating. All I can say this Party of 15 is still talking about how we threw down in there and how great the food & service was once it got started. Atmosphere was comfortable. The waitress was very patient and pleasant. We'll be back very soon.

    The okra was good but greasy. Potatoes were different ok but different I couldn't get the flavor. Pork didn't have any flavor so I added vinegar made it better I could have used more vinegar but they only gave me one. coleslaw had good flavor. Hush puppies were delicious.

Dinner was served family style, each course timed perfectly. We ate thru NC BBQ, chicken, deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, brisket, greens, mac & cheese, carrot cake and double chocolate cake. Our server Billy was fantastic and nothing fazed him. Special orders, drinks, the entire evening he made look easy (and we know how hard he worked). The Pit enabled a wonderful evening - thanks to all the crew at The Pit that made it special.

The sampler has wings, pimento cheese balls, soul rolls and southern style deviled eggs. The wings had a good flavor to them very traditional bbq style taste, the cheese balls were right up my alley crunchy outside and gooey on the inside. My first time trying deviled eggs I can say they were actually pleasant. The soul roll had this good taste with a subtle head to it just to spice it up. Overall really enjoyable apps. With so many options to choose from we all ended up getting the Double combo. I had Brisket and bbq chicken with Mac n cheese, brussel sprouts and. Sweet potatoe casserole. The chicken was the only piece lacking in comparison to the others. The brisket was very solid, very good enough to order again. The sides however were amazing. The Mac and cheese had such a good taste to it, the brussel sprouts had a blend with bacon bits and something glazed on them that was perfect and the sweet potatoes was another great side addition to the rest. Service was great our waiter gave us suggestions and was very patient with us and even gave us some small servings on the house. Very great time in a place you should visit

    Ole Time Barbeque is now on our must list when visiting Raleigh. We stopped by for the first time…read moreand were blown away by how delicious everything was and how friendly and helpful the staff was. I ordered a combo plate of chicken pastry and bbq pork, with sides of fried okra and potato salad. Everything was served piping hot, just as it should be. The Chicken Pastry (chicken and dumplings) had wonderful flavor and was comfort food at its finest with thick and wide chewy noodle dumplings. So often chicken and dumpling dishes can be overly salty but Ole Time Barbecue's was perfectly seasoned. The barbecue pork also had great flavor and also was seasoned perfectly, though unfortunately I can't do even the most mild of spicy, so even tho there were only a few red pepper flakes, they made it a little bit challenging for me to eat. The fried okra was cooked and seasoned perfectly and not at all oily and the potato salad was also really tasty. I also tasted their coleslaw and mac and cheese from Hubs dinner and both were delicious as well. Also loved their sweet tea, I got it 25% sweet . The biggest surprise was the large basket of tasty hush puppies brought to our table the minute we sat down, and refilled. Also delicious and seasoned perfectly. The location is very homey and diner like, with just a handful of tables so you may have to wait, though luckily we didn't. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was they served their sides in styrofoam containers versus reusable dishes like they use for their main courses. I do love that they're using reusable dishes for their mains so it seems like they could also do this for their sides. Less trash for the restaurant and better for the world... .
