First visit. Chopped brisket sandwich with pickles and pickled onions had generous portion of meat. While perhaps not technically sauced it had a touch of liquid/moist basting - so not just chopped version of sliced brisket. Quite tasty. Would order again but more likely to order plain sliced brisket sandwich ext time. Corn hush puppies ware good but not exceptional. Clean and cute traditional barbeque decore where you order and eat-in. Charming and friendly staff. A solid find for those driving on RT. 301. read more

Team Carolina BBQ - Where you order - Barbeque Near Me - Bowling Green, Virginia

Placed order for the full rack diner and ordered an extra order of fries . When we got our order it was only half rack. Went back to the cashier and showed what we got. She went over the receipt and only put half rack. So had to get the other half rack and double charged us. We basically paid double. Food was not the best! read more

Great food and service was awesome. I could not believe that there's a solid place that serves consistently good bbq. The brisket is a must!! read more

I placed an order for over $50 in BBQ and sides at 1:00 pm. Called at 3:30 pm to let them know I'm on my way. (I was travelling from 2 hours away and heard about this place.) I was told no problem; try to get here by 4:00 pm as that's when they close. I got to the restaurant at 4:01 pm. It was closed. I knocked on the door and no one answered. Knocked on another door several times and finally some one came to the door. I was told they sold out of food early and closed early and they threw out my order. I made the effort to call and let them know I was coming and caught up in traffic and they couldn't make an effort to save my food. They close when they feel like it. Don't order over the phone as you may not get your food. Very disappointing. read more

Brisket was very dry, no amount of sauce can save it. Mac and cheese gritty. Forever in search of the perfect collard greens and these are not it. Maybe they're store bought. Very disappointing. read more

Team Carolina BBQ - a cutting board with a bunch of vegetables - Barbeque Near Me - Bowling Green, Virginia

Sold out. The bbq here is good and the owners and team are nice. However, don't just stop here expecting to get a meal, because they sell out and turn you away. I won't bother here anymore and am a local that has been here many times. read more

My son pleaded with me to write a review because he loved the food so much. He even wrote in their visitors book about how great the food was. My wife had the brisket sandwich and it was so tender and packed with flavor. My son and I had the buffalo chicken Mac bowl and it was easily the best Mac bowl I've had. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you're look for great BBQ! read more

Team Carolina BBQ - Review book - Barbeque Near Me - Bowling Green, Virginia

Been wanting to stop here and finally got the chance. The place is much cuter on the inside than what we expected (honestly not sure what we expected). I ordered the pulled pork platter which came with two sides and cornbread. I chose the jalapeno poppers and mac and cheese. It was a huge portion of pork...which was delicious. The poppers and mac were amazing. My hubby loved his ribs and onion rings and potato salad. Cornbread was great. I started following on Facebook for all specials. Only thing is no alcohol. My hubby would've liked a beer with his ribs. Maybe BYOB? That would be helpful. We will definitely return. read more

I have been a customer of TCB for a long while. The food was once extremely good but since moving to their new location prices have gone up and food quality has gone down. On several occasions I have ordered chicken and the texture was that of re-heated chicken in the microwave. Overall if the prices were lower and quality just slightly better I would recommend and also become a repeat customer again. read more

The minor disappointment of no unsweet tea was immediately erased once our food arrived. Real deal barbecue. My pulled pork platter was delicious. The hush puppies had bits of real corn in them! My wife had the Greater Tater with brisket and her 2 word review was "absolutely lovely" Family friendly atmosphere with a super nice staff. Definitely recommend. read more

I've had some amazing pulled pork from master backyard BBQ'ers and popular BBQ restaurants around the country. None were better (some equal) than what I got at Team Carolina. Collard greens were also delicious. Generous portions, great prices and friendly/efficient service. Wish they were open during the week!! read more

Food amazing and customer service to match. They were out of the brisket, but based on the ribs, we'll certainly be back. The place is clean . . . pristine, I'd say. And the staff are super attentive to possible food allergies or sensitivities--giving you full information to ensure you can make an informed decision without pressures or resentments Prices are good for what they're selling. read more

Been passing through this gem for a while . I cannot believe we haven't stopped until now! Husband and I drove through this time and decided to stop . they do to go and out door seating . I got pulled pork brisket , hubs did beef brisket . His came with collards greens , potato salad mine came with coleslaw . if you're a fan of bbq please go ahead and stop by . The amount of food is amazing for the price . the flavor, amazing . Ps. I got Carolina reaper on the side . it's spicy but not as I thought it would be as people hype about it . hence I am Thai and eat hecka spicy! I will definitely be back. read more

The pulled pork and ribs are great, however the brisket needs work reminds me more of a roast. Compared to mission bbq who's brisket is the best around Fredericksburg. I do recommend the pulled pork and ribs. Coleslaw is good also reminds me of country style. Not had anything else read more

Best BBQ I've had in a Long Long time. My family's from Lumberton NC and this remind me of my grand dads BBQ. Very Friendly service a little expensive but it's like home made and chain store repeat. My try if you want some Great Calonle style BBQ and More. read more

Cute small bbq restaurant! A hidden gem Hands down the best bbq food I had! We order ribs, pull pork sandwich, pulled brisket, the wings, and the fries, absolutely delicious! Definitely a must stop to eat here! read more

Being a North Carolina transplant, I take BBQ incredibly seriously. When I hear a "friend from the upper latitudes" say their going to have a BBQ with hotdogs and hamburgers, I die a little inside. The N.C. flag flying on their building caught my eye. Today was their grand opening so I took my 7mo pregnant wife up to grab a plate. The parking lot was packed, the building was small, but I didn't notice any of that over the instantly welcoming aroma of awesomeness wafting in the air. Their smoking rig was open and the smoke was flowing! Their offerings are pretty standard for a BBQ place, and that's not an insult. These guys are selling gelato or souvenir shirts... they know what they're here to do. My wife and I both ordered a pulled pork plate for just over $10 a piece and a couple good sized ribs for another $5. The meal came with a hefty portion of smoked pork on a substantial bun, baked beans, and I elected for red slaw. The wife got mayo slaw and rest assured that we will have a LONG conversation about that transgression later. A note about the bun... these guys aren't using week-old Sunbeam bread. This was a sturdy bun that held up to the meat and a dousing of their sauce. A note about the meat... smoked and NOT TOSSED IN SAUCE! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Tons of places in Virginia seem to toss sauce with their meat which just tells me they don't have faith in their smoking product. Team Carolina BBQ seems to know what's up. A note about the sauce... this is what I like. Vinegar with a hint of tomato (I think) and all the normal spices. It's not Heinz or some kind of sauce you could use to patch driveways. I snagged myself an extra cup because I think trying this stuff made me hear colors. It was awesome. With this review complete, I'm going to go have that "mayo slaw" conversation with the wife, but Team Carolina BBQ is a winner. I finally found good Virginia BBQ... I just had to go find a North Carolina flag first! read more

Hot damn the ribs are so good make you wanna slap yo momma. Whenever we are near by on a Friday or Saturday we make it a point to come eat here the brisket is so good my wife normally eats two bites and is full this woman destroys a pound of brisket from here and then finishes the pulled chicken sandwich. Oh and the sandwiches has an onion ring on it. The jalapeño sausage from (when they have it) is well I don't have to tell you but I will. DAMN GOOD. 100/10 love this place read more

If you want delicious, house made barbecue, very clean and pleasant surroundings and yummy sides, this is your stop! I had barbecue chicken and my husband had brisket. Both were worth driving more than a few miles for! And the onion rings were house made, too! The service was excellent and quick. read more

Amazing. Great bbq! Favorite place whenever work takes me to Dahlgren. Great selection, brisket was my favorite (surprise surprise), but the ribs were also right up there! Yum! read more

I've passed by this place a few times on the way to visit a friend. We decided that carryout sounded like a good idea. Called and order a brisket platter with hush puppies and mac and cheese and she ordered a pulled pork platter with cole slaw and mac and cheese. According to their menu, they have fried pickles as a side, but when placing the order we found out that was only available for special occasions. Well, then it shouldn't be on your regular menu or be worded differently. Next, I really like cornbread and wanted it as a side or as an extra. It was listed but was told the supplier never brought it with their order. I was already starting to have negative vibes. Okay, well we ordered and picked it up and brought it back. This is definitely Carolina BBQ, heavy on the vinegar in a very thin BBQ sauce, which isn't my favorite type of sauce. I ended up eating the meat dry on the roll, and it needed added flavor added to it, hence what the sauce would have been used for. The mac and cheese was very mediocre. It was dry and lacked taste. Usually BBQ restaurants do great things with mac and cheese, but not here. Their hushpuppies, however, were outstanding. It was a delicious ball of fried dough with a little sugar and a kernel of corn. They were easily the best part of the meal. I doubt I will return, though I do like BBQ, this just didn't do it for me. read more

Pork shoulder and hush puppies are the best things on the menu. Collards and baked beans are probably your best bet for sides, but the beans have a weird flavor. Coleslaw is bland - all crunch, zero flavor. Macaroni and cheese is criminally awful. A 12 year old making mac-n-cheese from the box could do better than this. You could more accurately call their version "Burnt oily pasta with a faint hint of cheese." Oh Lord, oh America. Your best and worst live side by side. I pray that the good may eventually prevail, but thy will be done and not mine. read more

My wife and I have passed by this place driving up and down the road. So we finally decided to try it out. My wife's parents used to have their own BBQ restaurant back then. So she was eager to give this place a try. I'm not a big bbq eater but I like to give places and foods a try. Anyways we Ordered 2 Of the samplers today for my wife and I. They were out of brisket so they did give us double pork which I did ask if they would do since out of the one meat. Was kinda disappointed because I wanted to try all. But it is what it is. And they did give us double pork. Now apparently the old menu is still up on their website when clicked on in yelp and it guides you straight to the website where you can see the menu. The reason I say this is because when called into order Togo, the female employee mentioned what 2 sides would we like. 2 sides for 1 sampler and 2 sides for the other sampler. Ordered Mac and beans for one and coleslaw and beans for other. But I didn't understand why she mentions 2 sides when it says it comes with all sides. Well 4 total. Bread, Mac, Beans, and Coleslaw. And when we arrived I mentioned to them that on the menu says it comes with 4 sides. The gentleman behind was very understanding. He wanted to see the menu on my phone and the ladies there were saying that's the old menu but the guy agreed and said they would honor it. He was very good and polite. I like that the gentleman was very respectable and generous for honoring what I ordered from the apparent old menu. He had very good character. So they gave all the sides the old menu said. So the website menu needs to be updated. And my wife saw on the board inside the menu has collard greens which wasn't on the site online guessing because as I said it's old and needed to be updated. But anyways for the food talk now. Ribs were the best in my wife's opinions and mine. Sides my wife didn't really like, but I really enjoyed the beans! They were my favorite. So for the meals it was 3 meats supposed to be 4 but they doubled on pork. So Chicken, Rib, and Pork. Sides: Mac, Beans, White bread slice, and Coleslaw. For sides as I said Beans were yum. Bread and Mac were just plain. And Coleslaw had a lot of pepper in it. Was spicy. And the chicken was spicy too. Sauces, the lighter sauces was not so good, wasn't satisfying to both of us. The darker sauces was decently good. As I said the ribs and beans were delicious in my opinion. I'd still like to go back and try the brisket some time when they have it in stock. I haven't given up on this place cuz I need to try it all. And I did like the one side and one meat so far. And I liked the good customer service from the gentleman, I'm guessing he was the cook/owner. read more

OMG!!! My fiancé and I stopped here after we attended a funeral in the area. We rode pass here to drop a family member off and it caught my eye - we read the reviews and decided this was it before we headed back up the road! Boy oh boy am I AM SO HAPPY THAT we did! Customer service: 20/10 !!!We were greeted with smiles and pleasantries by the owners, who were VERY nice and offered warm, genuine conversation!! Let me start by saying that I was VERY disappointed that the community BROUGHT up all of the BRISKET :-( for the day (we did go in close to closing, so I understand) but the owners MORE THAN made up for it with their generosity in the portions we received and the exemplary service!) SIDEBAR: We found a parking lot to pull over and sit in to eat the sandwiches and try the sides before we got on the highway to head back home to DC-- I am GLAD WE DID! :-) We ordered quite a bit bc we were starving but also bc we wanted some real BBQ!! We had: The Big Swing Combo: it came with 2 pulled pork sandwiches, 2 sides and 2 can sodas Sandwiches: were PACKED with tender juicy pulled pork (I like that they didn't add sauce to the pulled pork so we got to taste the essence of the smoked flavor and spices- YUMMY!) and topped with coleslaw, which was a little bland alone but paired well with the pulled pork and the vinegar based bbq sauce (I'll admit that particular sauce was more vinegar than tomato and wasn't very thick but it surely worked well with sprucing up the coleslaw a tad:-))!! Sides: baked beans and greens - I'll admit I've never had my baked beans made the way that they made them but they were pretty tasty. The greens could use a little more salt to taste but I added some of the vinegar bbq sauce (sounds weird, I know. Lol but remember the way they make theirs is not thick or extra tomato based, so it was a great compliment). Chili (tasted once I got home and warmed it up): C'est magnifique!!!! AH-MAZING!!! Had just the right quick and flavor that brought it all together and was very delectable!!! Ribs - we ordered 2 bones...we realized that we received a lot MORE than that when we got back home!! THOSE RIBS -- WHEW -- THOSE RIBS!!! TENDER, SMOKED TO PERFECTION, SAUCE GOOD!!! MAN!!! OH!!! MAN!!!! I definitely recommend!! From the extra food the owner threw in the bag for us to their customer service and the taste and everything. YES! Hopefully we can get back down that way soon so that I can try the brisket but THANK YOU!! :-) read more

Very good pulled chicken. Lightly seasoned. Hush puppies are a little dry but tasty. We have been there twice and would return. Service is friendly. read more

Excellent BBQ and super service. Ginger took great care of us. Our drinks were never empty. We got pork & chicken plates so we have lunch for tomorrow. We will be back to try more menu items. The deep fried Cajun corn was tasty! read more

This place had a very mom and Pop vibe. The pulled pork is some of the best I've had and I am native to North Carolina. The brisket I felt was moist but dry if that makes sense, I feel that moistness came from it being just fatty. But still very tasty. The ribs were amazing fall off the bone.You have to try there hush puppies .delicious read more

Not to bury the lead, Team Carolina BBQ is insanely good. The owner is passionate about BBQ and it really shows. They are the best BBQ place I have eaten in this area. I have a Big Green Egg and since I got good at BBQ, I couldn't eat BBQ at restaurants anymore - it just wasn't as good as what we had gotten used to at home. Part of this is skill, technique, and preparation, but part of it is having the patience to do it right and the right smoking equipment. We believed in our food so much that several years ago my wife and I held a fundraiser selling pulled pork sandwiches for World Bicycle Relief in our neighborhood. It was a huge success but we were at capacity - due to the size of our smoker, we couldn't scale. We decided to do it again the following year, not quite sure how we would deal with the demand. But when we announced it on Nextdoor, Mike (a total stranger at the time) volunteered to do the cooking for us. I didn't know him or the quality of his food but after talking about our shared passion and his technique, I felt comfortable. As much as I take pride in my BBQ, Team Carolina's was better and people raved. I was so full of gratitude - who just volunteers to do things like this anymore? Team Carolina BBQ then did it the year after and are scheduled to help us again this year. It's a lot of work but they give their time freely - not just to cool but to help us serve too. I write this not just to say that his BBQ is incredible (which it is) but also that at the core, Team Carolina BBQ are fundamentally good people. I always like supporting businesses who are socially active, using their talents to make the world a better place. I give Team Carolina BBQ my very highest recommendation. read more

Great people!!!!!! And, the food has been tremendous!!! We have tried the sausage, brisket, wings, pulled pork, and sides, and all have been consistently fantastic!! The hush puppies alone are worth the trip!!!! read more

My wife and I stopped here with our two kids after visiting the Jackson death site. We got the pulled pork and chicken. Both were amazing and with the sides we had plenty to feed all of us. We will eat there again if we are in the area. read more

I have brought meals from this business even they where they b RT 2 in Milford and the food was delicious. But I purchased a meal2/17/23 from their new location and I was not pleased. The ribs where hard like they had been sitting all day. The greens had no favor and the Mac and cheese had no taste. I realize that everything is more expensive now but 18.89 for 3ribs, quarter of sides in acceptable. read more
