    The food delicious… I had the pulled pork sliders with Mac n cheese and greens. My friend had the two meat combo with potato’s and corn nuggets. We had lemon cream cake and homemade banana pudding. Also very good. The staff not very talkative but still welcoming, friendly and respectful. Small little place but kept very clean. Very good choice for a quick stop.

    I liked this place. It's small and seems to mostly be for takeout but the food was good and fairly priced. I would have given them 5 stars but they ran out of brisket and I didn't get a chance to have any. I don't eat pork and chicken is readily available anywhere so it was pretty disappointing. The other factor stopping me from giving them 5 stars were the portions. The side servings could have been a little heartier.

    Meh, not what I was expecting from all the great reviews. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from KC style BBQ. Brisket was smoky but sliced, I prefer pulled. The pulled pork has zero flavor or smokiness and seems to be made in the oven. Meats and mac & cheese were watery and oiling as well as you can tell from the picture. I like to support small businesses but I will not return unfortunately.

    The pulled pork was delicious. The buttery red potatoes were heaven-sent. Even the green beans were extra tasty. My husband's fried chicken, okra and greens were outstanding. Even more amazing is that we got all this plus 2 sodas and received change from a $20 bill. Sorry no pictures of my empty plate to share.

    Phenomenal food. Family owned. Sweet tea perfection. Highly recommend a family meal on your first visit, get yourself a taste of everything. You won’t be disappointed! We will be regulars, there is no question. 🐷 4/5 stars because we were unprepared for the the slowww speed and lack of efficiency getting customers in and out. This was our expectation given this is food that is pre-made vs. made to order. We tried to call ahead and got a voicemail. We were in line over 20 mins and the process was utterly painful. I hope this was an isolated incident but we’re not too sure. At the end of the day the food was worth the wait, but we will only go back when we have more than enough time to kill. I will also note the two who plated & packaged our food and rang us up we’re very kind. We appreciated that.

    Best BBQ in town. The prices are ridiculously low. Southern sides to die for. Fried okra, collard greens, mac and cheese, coleslaw and potato salad. The ribs are tender and smoky. They offer assorted BBQ sauces. Family run by friendly people. My favorite BBQ ever.

    Ordered the Queens family for my husband and I. We will have leftovers for sure! Great sampler of you want to try their different selections. All the meat had great flavor and cooked nicely. (Tender) Their Mac n cheese has improved and their collard greens are YUM. GREAT bbq sauces too!

    It was extremely busy in here from the time I arrived until the time I left....and it was middle of the afternoon! Most of their food are prepared ahead of time and served from trays in warmers. We ordered the ribs....just like everyone else.. and they were really tender. There are a few sauces to choose from too. My husband ordered the cuban....it was just ok. They used american cheese instead of Swiss and we just prefer the traditional recipe. We also shared pork sliders...the meat was on the cold side. They have many sides to choose from. They have about 5 or 6 tables inside to sit at and a handful outside as well. Prices reasonable. Staff very business like......since they had many customers to serve.

    My wife & I ordered a pound of the pulled pork to take home. Price was very reasonable. Since we both preferred minced, a few seconds in the food processor took care of that. Every one has particular styles of BBQ they prefer. My wife & I like NC BBQ. However, this BBQ did not disappoint and was delicious. Restaurant has very limited inside and outside seating. Everything appeared very clean. Traveling northbound on 301 you must look carefully for it’s very easy to miss the entrance. Traveling southbound, the restaurant is easily seen from a distance, but you can’t turn directly into it and at the next stoplight U-turns are prohibited. It’s worth the effort.

    I can't tell you about the food because our family of 6 was not allowed to sit at a table inside. Mind you no one else was waiting for a table. They didn't have extra chairs and we would be keeping 2 more people from being able to sit was the issue the person had with our party. I'm not sure why we weren't able to enjoy our meal inside as a family at a table with chairs for everyone but local or not you will never see a dime of my money. I will not have 2 people stand while the other 4 sit. Not family friendly.

    Food is great but the person who served us wasn't very pleasant. Food service is a "Hospitality" business. I suggest being more friendly to customers so they want to return for more than the food. Just my opinion.

    Great BBQ restaurant! The ribs and the pulled pork were both very tasty! They were flavorful and not very fatty. The baked beans were also very good. The regular barbecue sauce and the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce were both very good. The prices are very reasonable -- great deal! The Kids Meal is only $3.99, with a meat, a side, and a drink.

    Take out order of a full rack pork ribs and the pulled pork sliders. The ribs were full of Smokey flavor and fell off the bone. Their bark was dark and held a dry rub that rivals ribs from notable bbq areas such as KC, Memphis, and St Louis. The serving size contained over a dozen ribs!!!! The pork sliders were loaded with three soft buns, loaded with tender pulled pork. BBQ sauces we selected from the 4 available were sweet & spicy and hot. Both added to the already hearty flavors of the meats. Take out only on Saturdays, no call-in service.

    The pulled pork is amazing. The staff is friendly. The eating area is clean. The only hard part is getting a parking spot, as it’s very popular over the lunch hour. Looking forward to the brisket, but that’s only available Wednesdays and Thursdays.

    Called in an order. I love trying new BBQ places, and I've been to a hundred or more across the south. This place has just about the best chicken I've ever had. It's hard to smoke well without drying out, and they've done it perfectly, both white and dark meat. The pork and ribs were average, and the sides seemed industrial, nothing scratch-made or special. Great prices. Worth a stop in, maybe not a special trip.

    This is an excellent place for BBQ. I had their RIb Meal which included a more-than-generous helping of ribs, two sides and a roll. The meat absolutely fell off the bones and was so flavorful. I tried a couple of their sauces... both were great. I especially enjoyed the sweet corn nuggets. And the folks behind the counter were absolutely delightful and so helpful.

    Seriously probably the greatest BBQ places in the area, maybe in the county! We eat at C&K's anytime we want BBQ food. There's literally no other reason to go anywhere else. Oh, and their garlic potatoes are where it's at! Their brisket is always moist and tender, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. No matter what kind of BBQ you like, there's an option for anyone at C&K's. Their BBQ sauces are delicious and there are so many varieties. Want sweet? They've got it. Need something spicy? They have that too. Oh, and you CANNOT leave without getting the banana pudding! Seriously, you need to try C&K's. You won't be disappointed!

    I tore into the food as soon as I got home, so no pics. We ordered pulled pork sandwiches and a quarter rack of ribs since it was our first time. Both were excellent. Sauces are made in house I believe, we tried the sweet and also the sweet and smokey, loved them both. Even with how good the meats were, I think the corn nuggets were my favorite, first time I have ever had anything like that. Can't wait to go back!

    Delicious BBQ at a reasonable price. There was enough food in my container for me to have a second meal. The corn nuggets were yummy. We tried a variety of the meats and sides and thought everything was really good. Don’t miss out on the banana pudding either!

    First time here last week, the ribs are so delicious and tasty. Came here on a Friday afternoon and sat outside to enjoy my meal and the entire time was non stop customers. The owner was nice and so was the rest of the staff I can see them growing to a bigger location, be patient and don’t pull in the driveway so fast .
