The food and service is always really good at this Restaurant! The only negative thing I would have to say, is I don't really enjoy eating everything on disposable plates, using disposable utensils. Other than that, they do a great job! read more

I am staying at a nearby motel. The front desk suggested Hursey's as a great place for takeout (walking distance). I tried to order online but their website didn't work. So, I called, 5 times. Every time I was put on hold -- for 3 to 8 minutes. Every time, they came back, and hung up. On the 6th attempt, they answered, took my order, and apologized, stating they were extremely busy. I walked up to pick up my order 10 minutes later, and there were 2 customers in the entire restaurant -- 2 people. The baby back ribs tasted like they'd been soaked in vinegar-- no BBQ flavor. The Mac and Cheese was good, but that's the only good thing I can say. Horrible experience. read more

My wife called ahead because we were just picking up a pint of bbq and hushpuppies on our way to a new year's party. They had everything ready for us and the food was a hit to accompany the other things that were at the party. The staff was great to interact with and their prices are better than most other places around. read more

They constantly change what they will substitute and what they wont. I have been several times for breakfast and substituted eggs for grits, well today they tell u they can't do that. How about yall make it uniform whomever is ordering, but I will not be back, it's not that good!! read more

I ordered the barbecue and chicken combo plate here, I specified dark chicken but they gave me white. Chicken was super salty. The barbecue had very little flavor. I'll give them extra points for being clean but the food is lackluster. I would say the smithfields across the street probably has much better food for less money. Oh and despite this place being set up like a fast food restaurant where you order at a counter, they ask for a tip during checkout read more

Hursey's Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Mebane, North Carolina

For fast food barbecue I was very impressed! The good, staff, and cleanliness were all grest read more

We've eaten at this Hursey's location a number of times and it's really hit or miss. If you get there while they are preparing the food and it's just made and hot, it's pretty good. We like the "broasted" chicken and the BBQ is usually acceptable. But the couple of times we've come mid afternoon or later in the evening around 8 or so, everything has been barely lukewarm. Today we ate at 2:30 and everything tasted like it'd been sitting there for hours--nothing was even heated up for us. The fries were cold and limp, the BBQ meat and chicken were barely warm, the crust on the chicken was soggy and tough, and even the hushpuppies were stale. They could do better. We'll go to the Burlington location if we want consistently good food. (I gave this location 2 stars because the person behind the counter was nice and the place was clean. Food= 1 star, though.) read more

The chuck wagon was passable but it had not mayonnaise on either side if the bun. The fries were as if they were cooked the day before, very tuff and dried out. read more

Stopped in while on a road trip and it was worth the stop. Really enjoyed the chopped pork plate!

I think this is my first time stopping in North Carolina for food; driving through the state for a trip. Saw advertisement for this place along the highway the last few dozen miles, and thought "I've never tried Carolina bbq.. sure why not" Absolutely mid. Meh. If I'm ever driving through again, won't try a different location. Ordered a #4 combo plate to try their "brosted chicken"(fried), 3 ribs, some sorta stew that had pulled pork in it, and pulled pork. No smoke flavor, the meat felt and tasted like it was baked/steamed, then covered with a tangy sauce to make up for the lack of flavor. Stew was served below lukewarm, ribs came off bone but were bland and chewy covered in a syrupy sauce , coleslaw was vinegar based cabbage-only meh, the chicken was alright.. Overall meh. I'm surprised they had awards from 98-'08 posted they were voted best BBQ. Maybe back when it was all made on an actual smoker before I blew into a chain? But absolutely disappointing and unimpressionable. It be like that tho . read more

Hursey's Bar-B-Q - #4 Combination #4. BBQ, Chicken, Ribs and Stew Combination Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Mebane, North Carolina

Awful BBQ, not eastern or lexington, just bad tasting and Brunswick stew was too watery

We decided to stop on our trip for lunch. I am thankful I didn't read the negative reviews before coming in because they were wrong. The staff amazingly welcoming. The girl at the counter was super friendly and was patient when we weren't sure what to order. The restaurant was very clean and neat. The food was good. The kids meal was a decent portion and the chicken wasn't the typical frozen tenders. It was actual fresh chicken and came with hush puppies and fries. Both sides were very tasty, fresh and hot. The max and cheese was very good consistency. My spouse had the pulled pork and he said it was alright. For his taste it was a little too mushy and lacked structure. The sauce was tasty and typical Carolina bbq. I would stop again. Spouse would probably try a different main menu item read more

Dinner last night and my chicken had to be cooked at lunch time, dry and just plan terrible. They could do better.

The 2 piece meal my son had yesterday was way below quality. The chicken was horrible and drenched in grease. The fries were soggy and covered slaw...the only thing good was the seeet tea. The man taking the order in drive thru was rude as well. We will never go back ... read more

I am truly concerned about the people who voted this "the best"! The chicken was dripping in grease and the skin was so tough you couldn't chew it. The restrooms were also dirty. read more

For #ThankyouThursday I want to celebrate Hursey's! Since moving to this area Hursey's has become a routine lunch spot for me since it's close to work. I typically get the flounder & shrimp combo that never disappoints. My husband looks for the specials because he likes to switch things up. He loves their cookies. I love their tea! It's also nice to hear the peaceful Christian music playing as well. The staff is always wonderful. Yes, THANK YOU HURSEY'S for providing a calming atmosphere and great food when I need to step away from the job! read more

Random lunch stop on the way to the mountains. BBQ sandwich and fried okra some of the best I have ever had.

Stopped off 85. one truck in front of us. We pulled up to order. Waited 10 minutes. Kept saying hello. Nothing. We drove up to window. Sat there and nothing. I called on my phone to let them know we were waiting to order. Meanwhile a girl flings the window open and my husband explains why he knocked on windows. The girl said anyway what do you want. WOW! Great customer service. We have driven 85 for years and now I know why we never tried this. Do NOT bother. Go to Smithfield's across the street. I would not recommend wasting your money or time here. My husband went in to speak to manager and all she said was I understand. For anyone traveling this is not the hospitality you should receive in NC. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

I ordered the #4 combo which included chopped barbecue, chicken and ribs with onion rings and slaw. The chopped barbecue was okay. The ribs tasted like it was boiled in vinegar and water and barbecue sauce put on it. I DID NOT like it ! I threw the chicken away as well.I paid 25.00 for this combo.Will not be going back.The cook should also wear a hair net . read more

Terrible food. Very nice service, and nice clean seating. Ordered the chopped plate (regular) with fries and coleslaw. Not sure what the meat was, as it looked like puréed meat of some sort. Fries were cold. Coleslaw was meh. I wish I would have taken a picture. Served on a small styrofoam plate. 2 orders/ $32.00 with a fountain drink. Do better. read more

Highly highly highly recommend anyone stopping here driving by interstate 85! First the counter service is top notch! Miss Barbara was so patient with me and recommended combo plates and walked me through the different sides. Then the food came! Simply phenomenal! I got a combination plate of a chicken breast, half a rack of ribs, coleslaw, potato salad, mac & cheese, pulled chopped barbecue and Brunswick stew. All for only $17! Plus a large sweet tea. It is well worth the money! The fried chicken was fantastic, as the mac & cheese and potato salad were! My only complaint was the half a rack of ribs, they were definitely cooked to perfection falling off the bone however the barbecue sauce on them was too spicy for my taste buds. However, I still highly highly highly recommend them! read more

Very clean place. Service was good and quick. I ordered a full rack of ribs and a sweet tea. Ribs were slightly below average, drenched in sauce.... Worst part and the driver of my score was it was $33! For a rack of ribs and a tea. No sides. Not worth that much at all. read more

We sat down after we placed our order and waited . We kept asking about the wait . Servers kept saying they were cooking it. There was a lot of "cutting up" in the kitchen. When we finally asked for the 3rd time the waiter comes back saying "sorry they are out of chicken " what??? Got our money back and left. NOT acceptable ! read more

We found this place in a travel magazine. We got the chopped pork combo plate with the broasted white meat. It came with a side of Mac n cheese and baked beans. I love the baked beans. The chopped pork had a good smoke taste to it. They have two types of bbq sauce. I prefer the tomato based sauce and theirs was great. This location is an easy on and off of I-40. read more

Hursey's Bar-B-Q - Best sweet tea ever - Barbeque Near Me - Mebane, North Carolina

I was looking for a place to eat and spotted this place, i love BBQ so i had to try it, it wasn't that bad but is not the best i ever had, I ordered the BBQ sandwich it was good, also had the mac and cheese which I didn't like, the sweet tea was really good and service was good as well. read more

my name is tom and recent retired. have been checking out local fast food restaurants and came across hursey's bar-b-q. after placing my order and paying with my card they charged me .58 cents for their offer of accepting the card. i inquired about this and was told it was posted near the door. it wasn't and the cashier said it was real small and on the other door. when i got home with the food no hushpuppies after being assured they were in there. the rest of the food was a 4 out of 10. read more

Never really liked their food. Two things recently pissed me off. Went to breakfast with a friend there. No French toast on the menu. Really?!! Picked up Seafood platter last night. Very little shrimp and it was overcooked. And they charge that ripoff "Supplemental fee" which has become popular with some restaurants. Which is disappointing in a restaurant that has made it's living from local people. I'm not ever ordering there again. read more

Dude! Ate one of the best biscuits I've had for under $7.00 that included tax. Had a friend tel me I had to try their TENDERLOIN, EGG AND CHEESE biscuit. Had one and WoW! Tender, juicy, moist and wonderful. You will not want lunch after eating this thing. Only thought about this place for lunch and dinner but oh my word you gotta try this biscuit. Better than Country BBQ and that hard to do! read more

these other people saying this place sucks is CRAZYYYYY because how you gonna have a double chin like me but don't know what good bbq is?! i went through the drive thru and YALL. I come from a small town close to a very well known bbq place called Wilbur's and they've SET THEE standard but it has gone down. my bestie and i have been looking to and fro for a good BBQ place to expand our backs. Brunswick stew? BUSS BBQ? BUSS (that person saying it was pulverized whatever, gurl, tell me you ain't from NC and don't know what REAL bbq is fr)! Chicken? BUSS!!!!! their fries remind me of cookouts and i love that. i'm not the biggest fan of slaw or hush puppies but these were AMAZING to say the least. i was a lil let down by the mac but it's not the worst ive tried (way better than that hillsborough BBQ place). Lastly, them apple turners are soooo good. i am unsure if they make them but i love em so i don't care. If you need a place to enlarge your back this the place to go! it was my first time and i'll definitely be returning especially with how nice these people are. read more

Bad. Really bad. I don't think I've ever put anything in my mouth that tasted as bad as the coleslaw that came on the platter yesterday with 1/2 a rack of ribs and relatively no bar-b-que sauce and tasted boiled, not smoked, twice deep fried puny hushpuppies oozing with fryer oil, and half cooked french fries. I may as well have taken a $20 bill and tossed it in the trash. Still can't get over the putrid taste of the coleslaw. Do those who prepare the food there not taste it? Was it old, or just bad? read more

manager sucks, she blamed the delivery driver for not delivering 90% of a $60 ordered. they clearly have to hand the food to the drivers.

This newest Hursey's Bar-B-Q restaurant opened in late January 2016 in a brand new stand alone site, on the other side of Mebane Oaks Road from the Smithfield Chicken & Barbecue location. This is the 5th restaurant location in the Burlington area, and there is a large wholesale operation near Elon College. The interior is bright & shiny with plenty of seating, and the fast food setup is much like its competitor across the street - you order at the front, where there are 2 or 3 manned registers, and the order is brought to your table. The food is basically the same here as at other locations - chopped BBQ, Broasted Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Ribs, Fried Flounder, Calasbash Style Shrimp, and Brunswick Stew, along with the standard sides of a BBQ joint. The menu here is a tad broader since they offer a Hot Dog and a Hamburger, which is not the case at all locations, and only the Graham spot serves breakfast. What is offered here is of the usual Hursey's quality, which in my opinion, is very good, pretty much across the board. I tried the hot dog here, and found it to be quite nice, and the BBQ Sandwich was excellent. The service here is really nice, because of the fast food setup - things move quickly, which is not always true in the ones that provide wait service, especially Graham. There is a drive through window, as well. read more

Love this location! The service is quick and very friendly! Food is so good too! Definitely will come back to this location!

i have been driving by for many years and always wanted to try it.The loaction was in Graham with easy access off Interstate 40.The restaurant was clean and the employees were friendly and helpful.I am a true bbq lover,mostly easten nc style.Their bbq was not great. It was chopped up way to finely.It also had lots of sauce in it.The broasted chicken was excellent.Very crispy and juicy.I had green beans for a side and they were ok. My wife had chicken tenders and says they're the best she has had.I am not sure if I would go back,but would consider it. read more

The worst BBQ EVER! If you like rude service and fatty, rancid meat, go here! YUCK! read more

I stopped here due to the ads I have been seeing and I am such a sucker for those. The food is cheap considering it is bbq and you get a lot of food. I got three sides hush puppies, coleslaw (reminded me of kfc), fries, chicken tigh and the cut pork. All were really good and wanted to try pork ribs but too full. Good value for your money. read more

Had a road-trip dinner here last Friday. The regular size chopped BBQ tray (slaw and hush puppies) was plenty of food for me. The BBQ was good quality, chopped perfectly, clean, with no stomach-turning random bits of fat or inedibles that can find their way into BBQ if the guy doing the chopping is not vigilant. Although Hursey's says "wood smoked" I did not detect very much wood smoke flavor. The slaw was fresh and excellent and provided the perfect contrast in taste and texture to the Que. the house sauce is a bit unusual- it is a thickened, translucent, sweet but peppery sauce unlike any I have encountered at a NC BBQ joint. It reminded me of an Asian-inspired sweet chili sauce you might put on a stir-fry. Not bad, just weird. I guess it is part of their signature but I ended up just using the Texas Pete. You know you are in a legit NC BBQ place when there is a half-empty bottle of Texas Pete on the table. Service was friendly and efficient and the place was very clean and neat. I would stop by for BBQ again but I understand they have really good hot dogs too. read more

Swung through the drive-thru and picked up lunch, had the chopped bbq tray and a cup of Brunswick stew. The bbq was great, I always love some Hursey's bbq. The Brunswick stew was awesome as well, I had never tried stew from Hursey's, but it was very very good, especially on this chilly day. read more

The BBQ was just okay. No good side dishes to choose from. So many good BBQ places around NC. Try a different one like Tickle My Ribs or Steves Smokehouse. Overall this place was totally disappointing. read more

This place is paradise! I came here with my momma to escape the great heatwave of summer '19. It's nice and cool inside this confederate eatery lying just off I-40 in Mebane. Momma got the bbq sandwich and I got the fried chicken! Whoodoggy was it good. It was light and crispy yet had a nice grilled taste: they call it broasted chicken. My momma said she loved her bbq. We had handicapped parking which made the journey to getting fatter much easier.zxzx read more
