The restaurant is very plain including the decor. However, the order was taken quickly and the food arrived soon after. The highlight was that the food was excellent and was served hot with good portions. read more

After a 12 hr drive I was looking for a local spot to rest the back and feed the belly. After fueling up nearby I decided to give this spot a chance. They have a good sized parking lot as well as plenty of seating. The menu has lots or selections. I ordered the Turkey Sandwich on Sourdough Bread with sweet potato fries. The food was fresh and brought out quickly. The BBQ sauce was fresh and the sandwich came with a ton of options. Also the pricing is extremely reasonable. Love my small part of heaven and happy to give back to the local community. read more

Mountain View BBQ & Deli - Turkey Sandwich on Sourdough Bread - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, North Carolina

Don't miss out on this place. Elite smoked wings and smoked brisket. Worth every penny. I will be back

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a trip. We ordered the 2 meat meal with brisket and pulled chicken. The food was delicious and hot. Great stop! read more

Good smoked beef brisket French Dip sandwich. Very filling and with homemade potato chips. Nice sit down place, clean with cute decor. read more

Our family arrived Blue Ridge Barbecue at opening. The staff did not appear to be ready but took our order. When we tried to pay the card reader was not working and we had to pay in cash. Paying cash was not a real problem but I was just glad we had cash. When we got our food the corn dogs were still frozen in the center and the fried apple pies were doughy on the inside. The pulled pork was just ok and the baked beans looked like paste and and yesterday's leftovers. Ladies bathroom didn't have working paper towel dispenser. Very disappointing over all. We won't be back. read more

Mountain View BBQ & Deli - Brisket fat on the plate, edible meet on the left. Coleslaw, beans, salad. - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, North Carolina

This BRISKET is amazing here. The fat literally dissolves in your mouth. Edges black and the meat is fall apart tender ! For me the pulled pork is not as good as others in the area - but I would visit here every single time for their brisket and recommend it. read more

Stopped by after an evening of a family trip. One of the best places for BBQ, the wings were amazing with great smoke flavor. And the brisket was also delicious. read more

After reading all the reviews I had high hopes for this place . Unfortunately it was just your normal run of the mill BBQ . Nothing special Brisket was better then average but extra fatty Shredded chicken and shredded pork were average Burnt ends were disappointing - although tasted good , was just shredded pork burnt The honey sriracha wings were above average - not Spicy but very good . Cooked perfectly and great flavor I think Mountain View is more of a preference style BBQ place . It is either the kind of BBQ that you like or it is average to you . Either way you look at it you can satisfy your want for BBQ Would stop in again read more

The pulled pork and burnt ends were very dry and their bbq sauce is very sweet. My husband had the brisket sandwich with au jus and enjoyed it very much. And One very good thing was the potato salad No one liked the homemade chips bc they were over cooked! It was a very disappointing meal over all :( read more

Food is always delicious. Love the fried pickles. Their homemade ranch is so good. The service lacks smiles. Sometimes we feel like we are bothering the person taking our order. There used to be a woman that was pleasant working the register years ago. We miss her. My husband always gets the plum good wings. I usually get the burnt ends or pulled pork. Fries are always cooked perfectly. Did I mention the fried pickles!? lol. read more

New development. Still great place to eat. Best Lemon Pepper Wings within 15 mile radius. Alittle high for 10 wings, but they are good. Brisket dip is still amazing, but have your eating pants on before tackling that one. Great desserts available. Good service if you go there to eat in and good to go service also. Good local place to have in our small town. Hope they keep up the good work read more

My family and I have eaten here several times over the years and, to this day, they don't disappoint. The food is consistently good. They have pulled chicken and pork options. The choice of sauces are very good. The sweet tea is consistently good. This is an all-around great eatery to visit more than once. A good thing about it's location is that it is conveniently located a very short drive off I-26 for those just passing by. Also, the staff is very polite and gracious. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent barbecue! The counter service is quick for eat in or take out. This is a local place, nothing fancy. The environment is friendly and abuzz with locals talking shop. They have a great catering menu for your next event. My favorite is the pulled chicken salad with ranch dressing! Yum! read more

Today I'm in North Carolina, hungry as all get out (I figure when in Rome, talk like the locals) and my brother Phil who lives in Tryon N.C., said let's get some barbecue. He said in his southern drawl, "We got this here place that does it like it's supposed too (he's long since lost his Southern California accent). So we find ourselves at Mountain View bbq. And find ourselves we did, at least our inner bbq self, and it was telling us you done right. As I walked to the counter, I saw a sign stating "Meatloaf sandwich" no need to look at the menu, I was sold then and there. And was it ever good. It came with a drink and chips, they make their chips. Very, very tasty it was. My brother got the brisket sandwich. A huge portion of meat cooked to perfection. That's darn good he said. Next visit I'm going to try the burnt ends......and also get the Meatloaf sandwich. Quick Tip: If you have an aversion to police, then make sure to check the parking lot for their cars at dinner time. There were 7 cops strapping on the feedbag when we visited, and Mountain View wasn't even serving doughnuts! Mountain View gets a solid 4 DDDD's for Dagummit this food is down right good! I was considering giving Mountain View a 5, but although I don't have an aversion to police, I wish they would stop pulling me over during my travels. read more

The food and service is good. Nice location as well. My family travelled with me and we were all satisfied.

Stopped here on the way back from Asheville today. We would definitely make the hour and a half drive from our house again just to eat here again. The pulled chicken was super moist and melted in your mouth. My boyfriend got 10 wings for 14 dollars and they were amazing. I loved how you paid and then sat down so you don't have to wait on the check . read more

Food didn't look appealing. I order 1lb of brisket. it wasn't nice slices, it looked like minced meat. very disappointing.

Potato salad is amazing, highly recommend. BBQ sauce is a little sweet but very good. Homemade chips were loved by adults but I'd suggest fries for kids. Friendly staff. It could be a little cleaner and less greasy but overall very good food and quality. read more

Super yummy and really nice people!! We had the bbq chicken salad and a sampler plate w hush puppies and some other delicious treats :)

Outstanding BBQ. Huge proportion. Friendly service staff. Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Hubby was craving for wings so we decided to give Mountain View a try after seeing the pictures and reading the review. Came here at 12 noon on a Tuesday - bad idea, the line is long and the wait for food is long too. We didn't get our food until 25 min after we ordered. I feel bad for the girl at the cashier, she runs the one woman show in the front, from taking order to serving food, and she's pregnant. Hubby got the "plum good" wings which are really good, I had the 1/2 & 1/2 sandwich, for $7.99 they gave you a lot of meat and chips! I didn't eat the bun cause the meat along filled me up. There are a lot of varieties on the menu, maybe I'll find a less traffic time to try their fried green tomato and Rueben! read more

Good bbq. If you like your pulled pork with bark, make sure to order the burnt ends. It's the regular pulled pork wit a ton of bark. Great place to eat with reasonable prices. read more

Great food. Always delicious. You have to have to hush puppies !! We almost always hit up Mountain View for a late lunch or dinner each time we are in the area. read more

Some of the very BEST smoked chicken wings in all the land! Choose from flavors like Plum Good, Red Thai Curry, Lemon Pepper, Teriyaki, Hot, Dry Rub. My personal favorites are the Plum Good & Hot! The pulled pork is slow smoked to tender perfection and features just enough smokey flavor from the apple wood they use. Beef brisket tacos & the burnt end sandwich special(if available) are a close 1st and 2nd to my if I had to pick a last meal if I had a date with ol' sparky. Be sure to check out the wide range of homemade sauces included but not limited to Sweet, Old Mule BBQ, Mustard-Q, & Carolina Vinegar-Q. Service is attentive and I've always been greeted with a smile by the friendly staff. Beyond the outstanding smoked meats & service, these fine folks make ever side offering from scratch...can I get an "AMEN" brothers and sisters? Don't walk...RUN(or drive quickly) to get some of this scrumptious-ness!!!!! read more

Very good! Stopped by on our way home from the beach. Super fast and exactly what we needed. Chips were delicious, corn nuggets hot and yummy! Great BBQ with delicious sauce. My kid had wings- they were messy and great! read more

The food is delicious. Service is 9/10 times good, some of the folks could be a bit friendlier, but they aren't rude so it's fine. Not everybody is happy go lucky all the time. Parking lot is small, but I've never had an issue. Handicap accessible, they also have a bar area (not as in Alcohol) but an eating at bar. Which is super nice if someone is in a power wheelchair and it's easier for them to eat at higher tables/ bar than the regular tables. I would recommend their Lemon pepper (dry rub) or Parmesan cheese wings as I always get both of those and my sone gets the ribs and he devours them. The pulled bbq is amazing also! I haven't had anything that wasn't delicious yet. read more

This is one of our favorite places for lunch or takeout. In the front, Lizzie keeps everything running smoothly and makes sure your orders are correct. If she's not there, no promises in that regard. Check your order before you leave. Dusty, in the kitchen, has always made things just right in my opinion. The food is darn good! I've had almost everything on the menu and have enjoyed it all. The gangsta wrap, the bacon ranch chicken wrap, dry ribs, grilled turkey sandwich, and their coleslaw are all top-notch favorites of mine. Their sweet tea is also very good. I like their pulled pork sandwiches and their pulled chicken I buy in bulk. The service is usually pretty quick, almost always friendly, it's a little bit expensive but isn't everything? I do wish they delivered. read more

Ordered the pulled pork with claw and potato salad. Best meal I've had in a long time! MUST EAT HERE. Food is fireeeee

Food was good. Service very nice as well. Not bad for an unexpected stop when your car breaks down.

Short stop late at night on our way to Saluda. This place is right off Highway 74; easy to find. Friendly, helpful service. The food was great! BBQ was very good, the Mac & cheese was excellent, hush puppies were some of the best we've had, their mountain chips were very tasty, and great baked beans. You can't go wrong. Casual atmosphere. My husband wanted to go back the very next day for more! Enjoy! read more

It's nothing AMAZING but it's not bad either. I would say it's average BBQ. You go up the counter, order your plate (I did pulled pork with mountain beans and potato salad), take a number, and have a seat. While I enjoyed the beans and potato salad, everyone else at the table felt ill after having them (possibly a coincidence?). I really liked that the mountain beans weren't just regular baked beans - they have some kidney beans and some BBQ sauce in there! The meat was nice and the sauce was flavorful, but it wasn't "melt-in-your-mouth-this-meat-doesnt-even-need-sauce" good. My biggest complaint is that while the staff were friendly when dealing with our orders, half of our table's food came out and then two or three other tables came out before the rest of us got any food. It's definitely not made to order, so Im not sure why all four plates didnt come out (roughly) together. read more

Shane and family and crew make delicious food and the girls up front remember our favorites. Highly recommend a pulled pork sandwich on toast, wings, or a hot basket of corn diggers. read more

Chow down! This is a no-frills, all-flavor BBQ spot that I really enjoyed. Don't let the plain exterior discourage you, your tummy will be satisfied! I had the Burnt Ends plate with fried green tomatoes and sweet potato fries (with hush puppies) - everything was terrific. In addition to combo plates, they offer sandwiches, salads and wraps. Several side orders to choose from, and I liked that they don't charge extra for the best ones. This place was very clean and homey, with historic photos from the local area. Each table has several tasty BBQ sauces to try. The efficient staff hustles to make sure that your meal is piping hot and appealing. read more

Great food! The sliced brisket was amazing! We shared the 2 meat plate, and added coleslaw. There was plenty of food for the two of us.

Passing through the area and stopped by on a whim. We were not disappointed. The service was fast and friendly, and the chicken wings were awesome. My wife has the pulled pork sandwich and fried green tomatoes. She was pleased with both. read more

When I first saw the place I was hesitant to go in. do not expect date night seating but the BBQ made up for the ambiance. The Burnt Ends are great. Wings are fantastic. My wife had ribs which were amazing. And I but the mustard based sauce to take home. I would recommend giving this place a try. the also have a setup at equestrian center, but go a little further for more choices. read more

4.5 stars? Beef brisket was dry and completely tasteless. Could get a better bbq sandwich at Arby's.

I'm not one for bad reviews but sometimes it's warranted. I wasn't expecting the greatest dining experience ever but I did want a clean restaurant, good food, reasonable service and courteous staff. And for the record, price is not an issue if the restaurant can simply meet those simple things. I was recently traveling from Asheville to Columbia on I-26, was hungry, so pulled Yelp out to find a BBQ place. My experience is proof that Yelp isn't always the best recommendation. Clean Restaurant: I can confirm that the restaurant is clean. Good Food: I never got my food so can't confirm or deny it's tastiness Reasonable Service: This is a BBQ place where all the food is already cooked so I shouldn't have waited more than 5-7 minutes to be served. I took my seat (only second table in the restaurant seated) and kept an eye on the window for my plate. The kitchen was on point and the plate was in the serving window within 5 minutes. BUT that is where it stayed for the next 13 minutes. There was a young lady (I assume the server) who stayed on her cell phone pacing in and out of the kitchen door. The older lady who that was running the register was also on her phone most of the time (in fact as she took my order she asked whomever she was having a conversation with to hold a minute so she could take my order) . Neither noticed, nor seemed to care, that my food was getting colder and colder. At about the 18-19 minute mark, I got up from the table (remember ther only two tables seated in the entire restaurant), got in line, behind a couple of new customers that had just walked in to ask for my food to go or to get my money back. As I stood in line, the register lady took a couple more calls for to go orders and made all the folks, that had been in line, wait behind those that were calling in. I was absolutely shocked at that. That was when I decided to just get my money back and spend it where it is more appreciated. Courteous Staff: The older lady running the register never said a word to me, nothing. No apology, no "have a good day", nothing. I take that back. She did try and argue with me when I got to the register, to get my money back, and told me that my food had just come up. I didn't appreciate that as I had been watching it for, now, almost 30 minutes. She also kept a phone on her shoulder as she waited on customers. The younger lady walked around behind the counter, not doing anything with customers, on her cell phone as if that was absolutely normal. So no, the staff at Mountain View is not courteous. They may not treat everyone the way that I was treated. Maybe it is because I was traveling. Maybe she had some other things in her mind. Maybe if you're local and you know her, all is good. Maybe........ Anyway, I will never be back to Mountain View BBQ. Good luck to you if you do. read more
