Customer Reviews

"I stopped by here once before, and they were closed during posted hours late in the day so they were probably out of food. The featured item here in my opinion, is the ribs. They are smoked and seasoned just right, and are just fine by themselves but also pair good with both of their sauces Ribs 5/5 Pulled Pork 3/5 - it was cooked good, but a bit dry and short on flavor for my taste. Fries 4/5 - standard frozen crinkle cut lightly salted Beans 3.5/5 - they taste a little spiced up out of the can, some ground beef added BBQ sauce 3.5/5 Mustard sauce 4/5 These sauces might both be store bought, but it doesn't matter since they both pair well with the meats. The ribs alone will have me coming back. Good food!"

"Was craving a pulled pork sandwich, the Google reviews pointed me to BBQ King. The community is correct, the food here is delicious! Pulled pork & ribs were fantastic, fried okra, coleslaw, & Mac and cheese were so dang good. Will definitely be planning a return soon! Thank you BBQ King for the tasty lunch!"

- Dawn G.

"Food was good. First time there and was treated as if I was a regular. Collards and the fried fish were perfected. The sweet tea was good, I felt the pink lemonade was a tad too sweet but you're expected to become a diabetic with high cholesterol when you eat in the south. Will return when in the area."
