Solid food at a solid price point. Got the three meat platter with three sides and all were great, got a tavern burger and it was a solid burger. The fries are great too! I'd reccomend this for affordable bbq.

Ive been to a lot of BBQ places, but this one is definitely top-tier! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the brisket had that perfect smoky ring. Seriously, everything we ordered was amazing – from the sides to the sauces, you can tell they put a lot of love into their food. What really made our visit special was the outstanding service. Noah went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He was super friendly, helpful with recommendations, and just made the whole experience awesome.

Cozy open atmosphere. Friendly staff. The vegetable penne soup was very good. The burnt ends are phenomenal! Gotta try them. The waitress was on the ball our whole visit. Constant refills, made sure food was to our liking, and done with a smile. Very nice place. Definitely go back.

Simply Great Food. It's been a little while since we've been back to BBQ Kings, but yes, the Pig Out and the smoked wings are sooo good. My wife and I enjoyed the wings bone-in smoked to perfection and the smoked sausage wow . The brisket was amazing, super juicy fell apart so nicely. Also, the pulled pork, cornbread and sweet potato fries are excellent.

An outstanding barbecue restaurant. Not only do they have phenomenally flavorful meat even before the sauce, but it's all provided in excellent quantity. The prices may seem high, but rest assured that's only because of how much fantastic food you get in the bargain! I went for Mother's Day with my mom and wife, and we all split the 5 1/2 Ways meal. We got a half portion of every meat the smokehouse had to offer, plus four different large sides, and let me tell you, we ate until we almost fell asleep and STILL had leftovers. The sauces are delectable too; there are three at each table featuring Carolina Mustard Sauce, Original Recipe, and a third one with a bit more heat that I forgot the name of. Well worth checking out though! I have a pretty low tolerance for heat, but I enjoyed all three sauces throughout the entire meal! The staff were friendly and attentive, and brought us plenty of drinks. The food didn't take too long, and it was perfectly hot when they brought it out too. Thank you to the staff for making my Mother's Day dinner a big hit!

Definitely a solid BBQ joint! Love the atmosphere, team, and food. Michelle was managing and made an intentional effort to talk to us. Staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean, and portions were big! Will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu with family and friends!
