    Not my favorite but I know everyone has different taste buds when it comes to BBQ. I was hopeful this was going to be a hidden gem since we were in the tiny town of Clover. We stopped for lunch. We were seated immediately. The waitress was nice but didn't seem thrilled to be there. We told her it was our first time there and asked for appetizer recommendations. She just shrugged her shoulders and said she liked the eggrolls. We went with the cheese curds. I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich which came with fries. I was hoping to get some potato salad with it. When I asked her about it she told me it's not made there. I immediately said no. That's disappointing a BBQ place doesn't make their own potato salad. The pork was ok a bit chewy for me. They put sauce on the pork already which I want a fan of. I did like the hushpuppies. You can tell this place has been around for a long time. It gives off country old fashioned vibes.

    Tried for the first time despite living in the area over 15 years. The service was great. As soon as we sat down, the server took our drink order quickly and then took our meal order. The atmosphere was fine. Our food was good. The bbq sauce was tasty. I had the bbq chopped chicken plate with potato salad and fries. There was some pieces of hard cartridge in the chopped chicken which was breast meat. The fries and potato salad was delicious. My husband enjoyed his bbq sandwich. He said the hushpuppies were delicious and how he liked them. Lots of food for the price.

    Smothered chicken

    Had dinner there last night. The specials were perch and the other was smothered fried chicken breast both with 2 sides. They were both hits with us. More than enough good. Excellent choice for a Thursday night meal

    Courtney BBQ DISH.  The meal prep left a lot to be desired.

    I just received the "BARBECUE" issue of CHARLOTTE MAGAZINE in the mail yesterday, and Courtney's BBQ was one of the 13 BBQ restaurants written about. I figured that if CHARLOTTE magazine is featuring a full page write up about a restaurant with color photos, the restaurant must be good. Boy, was I wrong! We arrived on Friday evening a little after 6 PM to a half empty parking lot. There was a couple ahead of us at the hostess stand waiting, but no hostess. There were 2 cashiers across the aisle observing this - but no action on their part. One of the customers went into the main dining room to find her. She was in a corner chit-chatting with 2 other employees. She came out to the waiting area, gathered the 4 of us and seated us at our tables. Our waitress came right over. All went as it should. The hush puppies came out, and they were perfect. Hot and crunchy on the outside while warm and flavorful on the inside - slightly sweet with a mild taste of onion. Then our dinners came out - what a letdown. I ordered the large BBQ plate. The pork BBQ was from 2 different batches. One part was finely chopped and tasted of refrigerator, and one part tasted of fresh pulled pork. The dichotomy between the two was striking. The fully loaded potato had been prepared hours previously including the cheese and bacon. The potato flesh was translucent. The collard greens were BLAND. They were just boiled greens lacking any seasoning. To top it all off, everything was between Luke warm and room temp. GROSS. I looked for the waitress and found her in the same corner where the hostess was found chit chatting with 3 other employees. I told her the issue. I returned to my seat. She called an employee from the kitchen to get the plate and warm it up. He returned with the plate only barely warmer than when it went into the kitchen. My dining partner ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs. They were hot and flavorful, but the fire under them had been uneven and he could not eat part of the flesh as it had dried on to the bone. He had the same poor excuse of a potato and the fried okra. Overall it was a poor dining experience and one which we will not repeat. It was too much money for good hush puppies. Gene Courtney prides himself on placing 8th in the Kansas City. American Royal Invitational for his BBQ. It is time to stop living in the past and examine your restaurant carefully As for CHARLOTTE magazine, I think you need to do your homework a little better before writing about restaurants in the area. Your readers rely on you for accurate reporting

    Good service, nice place. Food was a bit more bland than I expected considering it is known for their bbq.

    Ever since they got rid of the Buffay I do not go here any longer. The Buffay was very worth the price
