    BBQ salad
    Katlyn C.

    Being a native to Salisbury, I grew up on Hendrix. For supper, my husband and I went for BBQ salads. It was as yummy as I remembered, my husband not so much. What I do like about Hendrix is that they offer a lot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I used to LOVE their breakfast, but since I've gotten older I've enjoyed it less. However, if you want a cheap meal, with good service, this is the place to be!

    Hendrix has good food. I had a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw that was huge, well made, and the bbq saice was really good. We also had fried okra, a flounder sandwich and a philly cheesesteak. Everything was well prepared, and a good value. 28.00 for all that. The place was popular....lot was full well after lunchtime and there were 6-8 cars in the drive thru the entire time i was there.

    Hamburger steak, double green beans, grilled onions.

    This place has been here my whole life under one name or another though it has been Hendrix a really long time. Our town has 3 locations but this one is my favorite and I know the daily specials by heart, they are different at each location. Monday is one of my favorite days to go, that is "Hamburger Steak" day and they have the best one around. The price has gone up a considerable amount since all this virus crap but that is the case everywhere with everything Wednesday is another favorite day because it is "Meatloaf" day. Each full meal or daily special comes with your choice of roll, hushpuppies or bun, do yourself a favor and choose the bushpuppies! If it is any other day I may be there getting a footlong all the way with white slaw cause well, hotdogs are my favorite food but because of fear of turning into a giant hotdog, I do on occasion eat something else. Look for me in booth #3, thats my favorite spot! Find me on google also under same name.

    We stopped by with a group of 6 while traveling through Salisbury. Our neighbor recommended it so…read morewe wanted to try it out. I'm so glad that we listened to him! My parents were with us and got pulled pork & pulled chicken. I stole a hush puppy from my mom and it was delicious! Their sides were spectacular--broccoli salad, corn, and macaroni. My husband got a brisket sandwich with macaroni. His brisket was fantastic! You could see the smoke ring and it tasted smoky, it was tender, flavorful. My daughter got chicken tenders with macaroni--typical for her but she definitely enjoyed it. I got a pulled pork sandwich with white slaw, fried okra, and sweet potatoes. My dad took a few and said they were so perfectly cooked that it was like throwing down some popcorn. The sweet potatoes made me think of Thanksgiving! If you're near Salisbury, you will definitely need to stop by.

The server was attentive and so so nice, she made me feel right at home and gave great suggestions about sides and meats. The bbq was amazing! I tried the pulled pork and the sausage and I tried several of their bbq sauces available on the table. There wasnt a single one I didnt like. I went on a wednesday and you get an extra free side so I took advantage and got slaw, Mac n cheese, and the fried okra. It came with pickles and pickled onions and your choice of hushpuppies or cornbread. To be honest the only underwhelming thing were the hushpuppies. They were basically cookout hushpuppies, not homemade or original, however the okra blew me away it was so freaking delicious! I don't know how often I will take a special trip out there but if I want bbq I know where to go.

    College Barbecue has great food, low prices, and unbeatable southern charm!…read more Throughout my childhood my dad has taken me to College Barbecue many times, as nothing says Salisbury more than this place. It has a retro theme, which also makes you feel a bit cozy and makes you feel like you belong. If you are a regular, you will see people you know and will build connections with the waiters. It is truly a small family at College Barbecue. Their hotdogs are great, and haven't changed the recipe one bit. They are footlong hot dogs (just so you know), and typically come with crinkle cut fries. Their fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and always are great quality (not hard). They come lightly seasoned with salt, but there is seasoned salt in the restaurant for you to get up and grab. You know you're in Salisbury when they have a dedicated pitcher for Cheerwine, just like tea and water. If you are coming with the church crowd or are stopping in for Saturday lunch, expect a wait. Even though they have a small parking lot, parking it generally not an issue. They also have a drive-thru if you prefer that instead.

    TLDR: A true Carolina classic with great barbecue, retro diner vibes, friendly service, and prices…read morethat seem frozen in time. College Bar-B-Que in Salisbury, NC is one of those rare places that truly captures the heart and history of Carolina-style barbecue. This spot has been around for what feels like forever, and it's been dear to me since my college days at nearby Catawba College. Back then, my friends and I would come here often for lunch or bring our parents for a comforting Southern meal. It's a place that has something for everyone, and thankfully, it has stayed remarkably true to its roots. The look and feel of College Bar-B-Que haven't changed much in over 20 years, which adds to its charm. The black and white diner-style tile floors, retro booth seating, and cozy dining room make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Even the small quirks, like having to go outside and around the right side of the building to reach the bathrooms, remain the same. I also love that you still get your bill from your server but pay at the register up front--just like the old days. On my recent visit, I ordered the large chopped BBQ tray, which was just $10. I'm convinced that's the same price it was 15 years ago. I also got the chuckwagon sandwich with fries, which is basically a chicken-fried burger. Both were exactly as I remembered them, fantastic. The barbecue was tender and flavorful, the slaw was perfectly tangy, and the hushpuppies, still golf ball-sized, were crisp on the outside and slightly sweet inside. Even at 4 p.m. on a rainy Monday, the place had a steady stream of customers, which says a lot about its reputation and loyal following. Service was as warm and welcoming as ever, filled with that genuine Southern hospitality that makes you feel right at home. College Bar-B-Que isn't just a restaurant; it's a living piece of local history that continues to serve up comfort and nostalgia in every bite. If you ever find yourself passing through Salisbury, do yourself a favor and stop by for a delicious, affordable meal that embodies the best of Carolina barbecue tradition. Five stars from me.
