    We drove off of I-95 about 8miles to get here. Sounds so good and it was worth the side trip for lunch while traveling. The wife and I both got the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on the side. I got combo with potato salad and a drink. There are 5 different BBQ sauces to pick from. It on the side of a BP gas station. They have small main room and bigger second room to handle the crowd. Service was quick and one the guys walk around taking trays and refilling drinks. If you like good BBQ (they lots of awards) then I highly recommend you make a stop here.

    Redneck Barbecue Lab was a mixed bag in the best-and-worst way. The brisket sandwiches and smoked turkey were really good, and the BBQ sauce options were the cherry on top. The decor is awesome--super country and exactly what you'd expect from the name. But the ambiance felt mid, and the staff/service was almost non-existent--our food took forever to hit the table. Prices were a little high for the portions, but overall we still had a great experience.

    Amazing BBQ considering it's next to a gas station. The brisket was spot on. Order at counter & pick-up. The dole whip is to die for.

    Need fuel for our car and our body, this was perfect! Drive thru was quick, food was well packed and delicious! I didn't try all the different sauces, but my pulled pork was on point! Also the dole whip and dirt cups tasted as good as they looked.

    Fun stop after finding a geocache nearby. Cute decor in line with their menu. Line moved pretty quickly. Good chopped chicken sandwich and collards on the side.

    A must go in NC for sure! When you walk in the walls are covered with plaques and trophy's they have won and so well deserved! They are popular so expect a little bit of a wait but nothing too bad. When we went we maybe waited to order and then waited for food for half an hour at most. Seatings a little limited when busy but we found a spot. They also have outdoor picnic table seating. It's attached to a gas station so it's definitely a tiny but cozy atmosphere. Everything was delicious! The mac and the beans were our favorite sides. The staff was absolutely amazing. They were moving so fast and still so friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stop by again on our way to Wilmington. Great pit stop to stretch your legs, fill up on gas, and get some flavorful homestyle cooking!

    A cool rural farm and barn interior with old signs sharing a space with a BP gas station north of Benson . Very friendly and helpful staff. There was a line but it went pretty fast, plus I was inside all the time and not in the heat for about 30 minutes. AC and fans, yeah! First time here, so I went hog wild so to speak. I got 5 1/4 lb serving of meat and one side. Had to try the collards which were good but average. The cornbread came free which was good because unfortunately it was sweet not just good old buttermilk. Luckily I was there on a day when they have burnt ends and jalapeño cheese sausage. The sausage was very juicy and cheesy with a bit of heat. The pulled pork was good but sang with the vinegar sauce. The brisket tasted good if a bit dry which was fixed with their smoky sauce. I really enjoyed the smoked turkey with their sweet and spicy sawse. But the best was the Burnt Ends, delicious! I'd be coming here again but I heard they've opened up a place in North Hills Raleigh which is closer to home, but if you're near there you need to stop in. My bill was $42.25 before tax, but worth it.

    Conveniently located off Interstate 40. Good menu with the regular meats and sides for a BBQ location. Between four of us we had pulled pork, sliced brisket, brunswick stew, collards, potato salad and corn bread. All items were very good and sauces were good. Will return.

    The NASTY woman taking the order for the lunch sandwich yelled at us saying f the grill is clean!…read moreReally? Needless to say, the sandwich went out in the garbage. Ms. NASTY WHISPERED to the young man hyped up something and you see what I got. Not even 3 slices of meat. I am so disgusted. "Big Steve" never should have sold his wonderful family business to this company! They are Not people friendly. And the food obviously by this picture is way below sub par standard's! We will Never go back there again and this will also be on social media.

However, we have been coming for several years now since moving close by (it was formerly Steve's) and the service here is incredibly SLOW. There are just so many things that don't make sense. Staff will take maybe one or two orders at a time and practically fully complete them before taking the next order, leaving guests standing there for so long. I understand it gets busy here, but there HAS to be a better system. When it was formerly Steve's, they had a ticket pull system which seemed to work way better. The staff also don't seem to care about their appearance WHATSOEVER. One particular individual has an almost entirely bleached t-shirt with bleached hand prints on it...does the owner not supply new shirts for the staff?!?! 8/10 times that I order here, my food is completely wrong. Sometimes I even have to repeat myself multiple times just to get what I'm saying to be written down on the order sheet...it's nonsense. Honestly, I'd rather leave a lower review, but the bagel sandwiches are just phenomenal in my opinion when I get what I asked for on it! It's not the food here that sucks, it's the service! If the food tastes amazing I'm still coming, but I really wish the new owner could figure out something to get things moving quicker and the staff caring more about their appearance! I'm happy to update my review in the future if the service improves. Lastly, there really needs to be a blower above the door to keep flies out. The flies hanging around all those bagels is less than appetizing..

We ordered a chocolate milkshake, which I understand they make by mixing vanilla custard with chocolate syrup, but it looked quite unappealing to receive a drink that was completely white at the bottom and looked very evidently unmixed. I asked the server at the drive-thru window if he could remake it and mix it more because it didn't look mixed, and instead, they sent another server to go over and tell me this was how it comes. I tried to explain that it didn't look fully incorporated, but she assured me it was the way they come and this was chocolate-y enough. After leaving the drive-thru, we looked at the milkshake in the car and saw how white the bottom was, not to mention it tasting clearly vanilla when you drank it. My husband went back to ask them to remake it and explained it looked unappealing the way it was made, and to ensure that it would be made to look fully mixed, and not half blended with chocolate syrup. They argued with him that it was their policy to make it that way and that they couldn't make it any other way...... right. So despite a customer explicitly asking you to ensure the milkshake looks like an actual milkshake and not a half blended mess, your "policy" prevents you from attempting that. Honestly it looked worse than before and completely ruined the experience. We frequent this location a lot, and the service has continued to go downhill over the years, but after the way they handled this tonight, I am extremely disappointed and unimpressed. As someone who worked in the service industry for years, it's shocking to see how little servers seem to care about the customer experience anymore and how poor of a job they manage to get away with. On the other hand, the drive to Culver's was well worth it for actual decent looking drinks and food, and a more hospitable waitstaff. Will definitely make the commute to any other restaurant from here on out to avoid such poor customer service and food quality.
