Yummy place and KIDS EAT FREE! Had no idea until we saw the menu. Staff was super friendly. Food here is good and prices were decent. We came here after the polar express and they weren't busy for a bit which was nice to beat the crowd. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Good Smokey flavor, excellent fries, beans and coleslaw. Fries were hot and bbq sauce is tangy but not too vinegary like others that I have tasted. Service was fast and pleasant. Staff checked in a few times, just enough. Restaurant was nicely decorated with country decor. When back that way, will definitely eat there again. read more

Hendrix Barbecue - BBQ plates - Barbeque Near Me - Spencer, North Carolina

I enjoy their all day breakfast-can speak to the omelettes and home fries being well executed. Servers are attentive and food usually comes out very quickly. Decorated exactly how an old school BBQ joint would be...can't speak on the Q as I have not tried it yet, but will review at a later time! read more

I will start off by saying the BBQ half chicken was really good. Both the white and red slaw also pretty good. Chopped bbq was decent but nothing i would go out of my way for. The sauce/dip was awesome so that really helped. Burger i had today wasn't great. Soggy bun wilted lettuce and not much flavor all around. Fries seemed like they would be really good if they were fresh but mine were cold and had a strange texture. The seasoning was perfect though so i still ate them ‍ Service was excellent the whole wait staff seemed very genuine and on their game. Prices were reasonable as well and the food came out pretty quick. Would definitely go back but stick with the chicken! read more

Great service & wonderful food! Clean on the inside with friendly atmosphere! Drive thru is a great experience too!

Friendly atmosphere, fast service, family friendly and the food is great!!! This review is for Spencer location.

Omg. Everything about this place was amazing: food, service, atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and on top of everything. The food was 10/10. Breakfast all day? Yes, please! Bonus for having Diet Cheerwine. Is it really a restaurant in NC without Cheerwine? I wish we lived closer to come back. read more

Really excellent barbecue, tons of flavor smoked over real wood. I can also recommend the non-barbecue items on the menu. Good value for money. Can't give it five stars I save that for the very very best and rarely give it. Gonna give it a very strong four. read more

If you've not had the meatloaf on Sunday, you need to try it. It is delicious, and the folks who work the drive-through at Hendrix are the absolute best. Pair it with the fried squash, fried okra, and hushpuppies and you will be in Southern-fried heaven. :-) read more

Great food great service. Cheerwine on tap. Bbq is pretty good. I visit about once a month for lunch and I'm never disappointed.

The food has always been good, now the service is amazing, this is a great place for a family environment. The kids love the place it's very clean and Kids eat free. read more

We were in Spenser for the train. We saw this place at lunch and it was slammed. We stopped in at 3PM for linner between lunch and dinner. You seat yourself and start looking at the menu - we were hungry so everything looked good. We had a pile of food for $50 plus tip. Food is all on point - banana pudding is yum. Cool decor - clean tables - nice service - quick food after ordering - everything was correct and tasted good. Bbq chicken, wings, fries, hotdogs, coleslaw - that yummy crushed ice in your cheerwine. Wish this place was closer - pics of food included. Everything hit the spot and left us wanting another visit. Pleasant on the pocketbook too. Sweet. read more

Who doesn't like funnel cake? These "fries" were great. The bbq was solid, but I didn't care for the slaw. Wait staff was amazing and the prices were really cheap. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch. The wife and I both had the BBQ Salad. It was a great choice! Salad took up the whole plate and there was plenty of BBQ on top of it. The hush puppies were also awesome. We were waited on quickly and the waitress was very attentive. I do not get to the Salisbury area very often but I will go back when I do! read more

Awesome food and service, always feel welcome in this restaurant, I always bring a crowd when we go and it is always the same service JUST GREAT read more

I'm recommending this place even before I get my food. This joint is packed with hungry men at Monday 12:48 pm so it's got to be good. Service is great and pleasant thus far. Clean and plenty of room for inside dining although they have a drive-thru. I figured eating BBQ behind the wheel would only lead to ruining my work pants in my first day in the region. Walking around for another day or two and meeting teammates with food stains on my pants is embarrassing! Unless they ask where the food stains came from...Hendrix!! Ps. Food came out in less than five minutes from my order. Amazing. Delicious. Excellent Baked Beans, Slaw and Small order of BBQ and Hush Puppies. read more

I have only been here twice, but we always come with a crowd of people, so I can honestly say there is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious! I was surprised to see that no one was masked (patrons nor employees), and no one was concerned about social distancing, but that was ok with me. The staff were friendly and helpful, every one of them bustling all over to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. I like that kind of service! They weren't worried about sticking to their own tables. If they had a tea jug in their hands, they were all over the restaurant refilling glasses. The food, of course, was excellent! The bbq was perfectly smoked and the chicken was sooo tender. The hush puppies can't be beat and I've had some good ones! Lol. As jam-packed as the place always is, it's always clean and sanitized. A used table doesn't stay empty for long so the staff is always competent in cleaning quickly yet efficiently. If you haven't given them a try yet, you're missing out on some good bbq and chicken. Oh, and try the footlong hotdog or juicy hamburgers. Hungry yet? read more

First time there and it was really delicious! The bbq sandwich and fries with seasoning is what we all ordered and definitely recommend that to get! The sweet tea was perfection (I mean the menu said they sell it by the gallon ‍ can't go wrong there)! Our waitress was great and very friendly/ helpful for first timers! Definitely will back again! read more

Love this place. Great service all around. Yummy barbecue. Amazing bbq chicken. And the burgers are the best.

Great hidden gym I found while getting lost off the highway super quick and tasty just try! We did drive thru so not sure how inside is or the service. But the car service was fantastic read more

My family and I stopped by early this morning for some breakfast. I have always grown up coming to Hendrix and it has become a staple of the town. Service is always served with a smile, and you can not beat the prices for the amount of food you receive. This morning I got 2 eggs, grits, and bacon. It was perfect for a early morning breakfast and we were in and out in 40min. I have attached photos of the menu front and back! read more

Any time the wife and I come to Salisbury, our go to BBQ joint has always been College BBQ. Since it was so nice out today (10-8-20) the wife wanted to take our BBQ to Dan Nicholas park for a picnic, so we stopped in here because it was the closest BBQ joint to the park. Went thru the drive thu and both the order take and cashier were friendly. Waited just a few minutes and our order was brought to the car and the girl thanked us for our tip. We got the family pack with 1 lb of BBQ, a pint of slaw and dip and 12 hamburger buns. We added a half dozen hush puppies and it was just shy of $19.00, a good deal since the wife and I will be able to have 3-4 meals for just $19.00 The BBQ was pulled pork with a little bit of dip already mixed in. It was smoky, but I'm a smoke junkie, so I thought it could have used more, but the wife said it was fine. The hushpuppies were good with a slight hint of sweetness. The dip was a darker red than I am used to and a tad sweeter so I suspect they used a little more ketchup in it along with a hint more black pepper than other BBQ joints or what I make at home but it was good just a little different than what I'm used to. The red slaw was spot on. Overall it was good but no where near good enough for us to make the switch from College BBQ. Let's put it this way, If the wife said let's stop by here again and get BBQ to take to the park for a picnic, she wouldn't have to put a gun to my head to get me to do it! read more

Stopped for a quick bite on our way home. Food and service was prompt and kids eat free so four of us ate for $18! The decor was probably original from whoever old the establishment is. We had the bbq platter that comes with hush puppies and slaw. It was a generous portion and the slaw was super good. The bbq wasn't fancy but it was decent. The kids had a corn dog and chicken nuggets and were happy with that. Certainly worth a stop if you're driving through and don't want a chain restaurant. read more

Date: 04/01/2017 Time: 1:00 PM This is a great little place to stop in and get some good North Carolina BBQ. The most confusing thing was the menu and why I didn't give it 5 stars. It doesn't really explain on the menu what comes in the BBQ tray. I had to ask my family what came with it to make sure that was what I wanted to order. Just in case anyone is wondering; it is literally a tray (probably enough for 2 at lunch) juicy bbq, with a side, and hush puppies. Honestly, I just put a little ketchup because I always do, but I didn't even have to put any extra sauce on it because it was so melt in your mouth delicious exactly how it was. My side was the most creamy (no mustard) potato salad I have ever tasted! The bbq usually comes with cole slaw (red or white) but I am not a fan of the stuff. The hush puppies were great too! One thing I do have to mention is how much I love the decor!!! I am a huge old school Coca Cola fan etc. And it made me feel right at home! Our waitresses were over the top and were so friendly! They made sure our drinks were topped off (which I love especially whe! I have Cheerwine). I definitely recommend this awesome little placea read more

The food is awesome! The service is awesome! The amibiance is a bit noisy at times but still really good!

I was driving through Salisbury searching for BBQ. This place looked like a quick detour so I thought I would give it a try. Some of the WORST "BBQ" I've ever eaten! I don't even know how to describe the "coleslaw". The chopped beef tasted like something out of the cold section at Food Lion. And the slaw was shredded cabbage with vinegar/bbq sauce concoction on it. It was all thrown together in some Flemish "tray". Worst $15 for a meal I've spent in a long time. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

Always great food and superb service at the Spencer location. There's a reason there always busy, but I assure you they know how to get the food to you quickly read more

Great breakfast place and excellent service. Prices are a super value for the quality and quantity. Will definitely visit again soon!

The food was amazing!!!! We had the chicken tender salad (with amazing homemade ranch dressing), hush puppies, the funnel cake sticks (simply amazeballs) and the 2-piece flounder plate with mac and cheese and onion rings. The fish was unfortunately frozen (but she told us) since they only have fresh fish on Friday, but it was tasty. The mac and cheese was nice and creamy and the hush puppies had just the right amount of sweetness to them. I do wish the onion rings weren't so greasy, but they were tasty. Everything was delicious and We will definitely come back when We are back in the area. read more
