I've been here a few times now, including my most recent visit this month, and every experience has…read morebeen consistently enjoyable.I usually order the Choice Platter with a half rack of ribs and chicken, along with baked beans, mac and cheese, and the jalapeño cornbread. The ribs are always tender and flavorful, and the chicken is cooked well. It can be a little dry at times, but the BBQ sauce takes care of that. The baked beans and mac and cheese are both delicious, and the jalapeño cornbread is always a great choice.I've also tried the stuffed jalapeños and the hand-battered mushrooms. The stuffed jalapeños were hearty and very tasty. The mushrooms were okay, but I probably wouldn't order them again unless I was sharing with a group. They're served whole, and I think cutting them in half would improve the batter-to-mushroom ratio. The batter could also use a little more seasoning, as the mushrooms make them taste a bit bland.Service has been a little slow each time, but the waitresses have always been friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable.Overall, the food has been consistently good, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.

Our son and DIL recently went and had a good experience and asked if they could take us -- and who is going to turn down BBQ?! We went in around 5:45pm on a Saturday and got seated quickly, but the place filled up pretty quick after us. Ayla (?) was our server, and extremely sweet and knows that menu! We did have two flies buzzing around us in our corner which were quick and we only eventually killed one of the two -- part of the reason for the 3 and not a 4. Two of us ordered the ribeye, one got the chopped brisket, and one got a salad with chicken. The ribeyes were tasty, they just lacked the marbling found in a good steak at that price. (Another reason for the 3) And the chopped brisket was more shredded and wasn't as moist as you'd expect -- even after asking for some fattier pieces. (Final reason for the 3) sides were good -- TONS of onion rings/straws, delicious mashed potatoes and green beans. Overall: server was great, minor improvements needed on the food, and something needs to be done to deal with the flies INSIDE the restaurant.

While the meat was plenty tender and juicy, it lacked smoke, and the seasoning on the Texas toast carried the flavor of the sandwich. I added some sauce, and the sandwich was perfectly fine.

We came, after church today, for our second visit to this location. All went well! My wife chose…read morea Chopped Salad with Chicken and sweet tea to drink. I chose Carolina Vinegar Pork Sandwich with a soft drink. We began with their complimentary warm bread - two for each of us. This was a great way to begin our meal - while waiting for what we ordered. My wife's salad was large enough that she only ate half - bringing the other half home for later. My pork sandwich was very enjoyable- with half of the vinegar sauce and part of the slaw. I chose an ear of corn for my side. The sandwich, sauce, slaw, and corn were thoroughly enjoyed. The quantity of chopped pork in my sandwich was perfect. The corn - wrapped in foil - was slathered in butter and cooked just right- neither undercooked or overcooked. As far as this was from our home, it was decided that we need to return soon. Food, service, friendliness, and cleanliness were just what we expected - and received.

There was a family of 6 or 7 that ordered before me but given the simplicity of my order, I did not expect to wait 20 minutes. My real problem with the latest visit is that the place asked for a gratuity BEFORE delivering the food. I think restaurants need to stop this madness. If you want gratuity, give me the option after you have delivered said product/services.

Normally, I'm driving 20-30 minutes or more trying to find decent ribs and brisket, and half the time I end up disappointed. Owens & Co. absolutely knocked it out of the park. And don't be fooled by the location. From the side, you might think you're walking into some small "wannabe" BBQ joint. Walk through the front door and that impression disappears immediately. This is a real restaurant--with great service, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, GREAT food. We showed up around 12:50 on a Saturday afternoon, and I had my favorite lunch partner with me--my wifey--which made discovering this place even better. It wasn't very crowded yet, but the smell when we walked in was hypnotic. Smoked meats, BBQ, and all those incredible sides hitting you at once. The space itself is really nice, too, with huge windows and a great view. Then, while we were eating, the crowd started building both at the attached brewery and inside the restaurant. Before long, the whole place was buzzing with energy. I can't say enough about the team at Owens & Co. I don't remember everyone's names yet, but I plan on learning them because WE WILL be back. Great BBQ, great people, a great atmosphere, and a great Saturday lunch with my wifey. What more can you ask for? If you're anywhere nearby and you love real BBQ, check these folks out. They are the real deal!!

We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, lemon pepper wings, half slab of ribs, mac and cheese, and coleslaw, and everything was flavorful and cooked just right. The brisket was tender, the ribs fell off the bone, and the lemon pepper wings were some of the best we've had. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Chandler, who was working the register, went above and beyond. Not only was he friendly and welcoming when we ordered, but he also walked around the dining room checking on everyone, making sure guests were enjoying their meals, and even helped clear our table. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

And the crispy chicken sandwich with pickles and sauce on the side. The bone-in chicken had a nice crust with good flavor and were good portions. The coleslaw was a generous portion and good flavor and was the creamy mayo style (versus vinegar style). The coated fries had a good taste and most were crisp, but a few were a bit heavy in oil. The biscuit was a great pairing. The sandwich had lots of meat and a finely textured crust that is smoother than is on the bone-in chicken. The purple decor was funky but comfortable and clean.

I did order a plethora of sauces since I'm a sauce girly. My favorite sauce had to be the dark beer mustard and the BBQ Ranch (this was really surprising for me but the dill in the ranch took the cake for me)... but honorable mentions go out to the garlic aioli, smoked paprika aioli. Fries were cooked perfectly. Beer was delicious and local! THE PICKLES HERE ARE AMAZING AND MADE IN HOUSE.
