    Chopped pork BBQ, BBQ slaw,hushpuppies and fries

    Friendly and fast service, I tried the chopped pork with BBQ slaw and fries. It had a sweet vinegary sauce. And it comes with sweet hushpuppies.

    Service was absolutely amazing, great ambiance walking in and immediately greeted by the staff. After ordering a Chopped BBQ Sandwich combo and Tray Combo, I only spent around $24 with a tip. I was also given a free side of banana pudding to try since I've never been here before. Great staff, great food, clean restaurant. 10/10

    The food was great as I remember it being when I was growing up. Delicious bbq chicken, chopped bbq. The hush puppies are amazing. The lemon meringue pie is the best. The service was friendly, helpful and speedy. The atmosphere was the same as I remember.

    Wings

    Been here a few times and the place is always clean and the staff are great. Today I ordered the wing and would suggest to order them extra crispy. The flavor was good but the skin soft and fatty.

    Walking into Mr Barbecue, I realized I have watched the movie "Spaceballs" one too many times in my life. Though I didn't voice it to anyone, after placing my order, I was internally saying things like "Time to fill up Mr. Tea, let's add Mr. Hot Sauce" or "I always have barbecue before I watch radar! You know that! Everybody knows that!" My own personal strangeness aside, Mr. Barbecue is a Winston-Salem institution. Unfortunately, several years ago, a fire burnt their building to the ground. They have since rebuilt a fresh modern spot, but with plenty of that "we've been here awhile" flair. Inside, the people are friendly, and the vibe is perfectly North Carolina BBQ. You order at the counter, and if dining in, they bring your food out to you. You'll also get your own drinks. No issue there at all, honestly, wish more places just did this instead of having waiter service. I'm watching my carb intake and trying to have more protein and vegetables, so I ordered a chopped BBQ salad. Unknowingly, this came with hushpuppies, a plus indeed but I did my best to just have a few to taste. The salad itself, was a really nice size, and loaded with meat. Perfect. The ingredients all appeared fresh, as you might assume, salad is not a priority at a BBQ restaurant, so even though basic... I appreciate crisp veggies. For the Q itself, as I said, great portion. In general, I thought it was a good representation of Lexington NC style Q. It didn't blow my mind, and I did need to help boost the flavor with a little hot sauce. Importantly though, the meat was juicy with an excellent mouth feel. Just needed more seasonings and smoke. Hushpuppies were good, they don't compare to my favorites in the area, but that is a lofty bar. Overall. I would come back here. Maybe when I am not feeling quite so health conscious, I'd like to have more of a typical BBQ meal. I can see why this place has a lot of fans. Thanks Mr. Barbecue!

    I came down to Winston Salem from Ohio to watch a race at Bowman Gray Stadium. I was tired from the drive and was going straight to my hotel when I passed Mr Barbecue. Might as well get takeout for the room. I got the chopped plate that came with hush puppies and two sides. I picked baked beans and baked apples. First, the chopped bbq. Very good, and a lot of it. Second, the beans. Sweet, tangy, and bits of jalapeño. Also very good. Third, the apples. Very cinnamon-ee. Is that even a word? If not, it is now. Must have been two whole apple there. Again, very good. Lastly, the hush puppies. They were okay. They were room temperature and not a lot of flavor going on. I still ate them all. I'm not going to hold a few average hush puppies against them. I would certainly go back and eat there again. I'm gonna give them 4 and a half stars. Since that's not a selection option, I'm gonna round up for a five. Oh, I forgot the main point I wanted to stress. I got this all for under $12.00. That's right, under $12.00!!! Forget that 4 and a half star thing. It's a hard five for sure!!!

    From the top of the plate: The coleslaw, hushpuppies, beans and chunk meat.  I will pass on the coleslaw next time.

Our server was warm, attentive, and seemed to anticipate what we needed before we asked. The space has that familiar barbecue joint look. Nothing fancy, just comfortable and family friendly. Noise level sat right in the middle, lively but not overwhelming, and no one rushed us even as we lingered, laughed, and took more photos than necessary. I ordered the Pitmaster Plate with North Carolina chopped barbecue. You can choose sliced, chunky, or chopped. The pork was tender, flavorful, and exactly the slightly vinegary flavor I love. I added collard greens, coleslaw, and sweet potato casserole. The greens had a slight kick but were balanced. The coleslaw was fresh and necessary alongside the barbecue. The sweet potato casserole was easily the standout side. The only drawback is portioning on the sides. They are a bit small, especially if you are planning leftovers. I went in hoping to stretch this into multiple meals and almost made it. Still worth it, just manage expectations. Also worth noting, bread does not come with the plate, so I added rolls. My total came to about $31 with the automatic gratuity for larger groups, and I added a little extra. For the quality, service, and portion of barbecue, that feels more than fair. Everything was consistently good, and the experience made it even better. Great spot for groups, easygoing, and welcoming. I will be back.

The service from our waitress was great, though the fellas at the hostess stand are a bit all over the place and don't exercise detailed thinking in seating. Piling people together while open seats for better experiences are available. I won't be back but if a retirement home had a field trip this could be a pit stop.

We were seated upstairs in a front corner room, that was very cramped, and crowded with other tables, and apparently to make it possible to fit as many tables as they had, they were incredibly narrow. My wife and I went with another couple, and the tables were so small, the entire time, our we were bumping knees with our friends...very awkward. Additionally the front room tables don't have any of the vintage gaming systems that we've come to enjoy playing on past visits. Waitstaff were ok, but again, not as outgoing, or attentive as past visits. I honestly feel this front room is easily forgotten by even the staff. On this visit I got the brisket with hushpuppies as a side. The brisket was good, I do wish I'd gotten a different side, the hushpuppies were good, but got heavy after a bit, and made me feel a bit sluggish.

I chose their original sauce, by far the best selection for the brisket. As usual the to go order was out quickly, just over 10 minutes, and I was on my way, with my meal securely packaged. These folks do a great job filling your order quickly and accurately, and for a reasonable price - things that used to be so common at restaurants stretching from hot dog joints to steak houses - pretty rare these days! This was the typical excellent meal from Honky Tonk - the brisket was very nice, made very special by their original BBQ sauce; the Brisket Chili had its own full smoky taste, with beans included, but apparently no onions; and the collards are good but not great - more sweetness than I care for, no sign of meat onions, or cabbage. I drain the liquid that comes with the collard and add a healthy doses of red wine vinegar and Texas Pete. The sausage included cheddar and jalapeños, and packed a nice spice level. This would be nice served a full length on a hot dog bun with a stout mustard. This Tue and Wed promise to be rather cool, will consider another visit for the Brunswick Stew, more good stuff!
