Stamey's Old Fashioned Barbecue

My family and I used to love Stamey's. We don't get to Greensboro much anymore but we ate here tonight and it was the biggest disappointed. The bbq was very fatty and it didn't even taste the same. The fries tasted like grease, it was awful. We ended up giving it to our dogs. $48 for food we ended up giving to our dogs! Sorry Stamey's we won't be back.

We are Stamey's BBQ fans living in Texas! My husband is a Greensboro native, and it's his first stop every trip home. But with a job and three kids, he doesn't get home as often as he'd like, so we order Stamey's sauce off the website and they ship it to us in Dallas so he can always get his taste of home! Although I'm partial to Texas bbq, even I'll admit that Stamey's is good. But even more than that, I've developed a love and loyalty for it too, just because it's a company of good people who will go to great lengths to serve their customers both near and far! BTW, my husband flies in Friday to spend his moms birthday weekend with his family, so I'm sure you'll get a big group order from them!

Probably more like 3.5 stars for me, if we can ever convince Yelp to allow half-star ratings. I took a spot at the counter and was surprised at how long it took for one of the waitresses who kept passing me to ask what I'd like to drink. After all, the restaurant was far from busy. The waitress that finally chose to cover the counter also seemed to have trouble figuring out my order, though it was far from complicated: a chopped pork sandwich with barbecue slaw, and a hot dog all the way including barbecue slaw. I had to explain the hot dog three times! After that experience, things got better. The food showed up quickly, and I was impressed by the amount of meat in the barbecue sandwich. The meat was a little drier than I like but a few splashes of sauce helped. The hot dog was simple yet delicious. And a nice glass of half-sweet tea matched up well with the food. The service grade took another hit when I went to the counter to pay, for the clerk there was as cold and unfriendly as a block of ice. What happened to making patrons feel welcome and appreciated? Instead, I think I was dealing with a zombie. The food was good enough to go back, so I'll try it again, but Stamey's could stand to improve the customer experience at this particular location.

Came here due to a recommendation right around the time of a concert across the street. Most of the parking lot was full due to them charging for concert parking, but luckily they let us park to eat. Waited in line to be seated, but it went by fairly quick. The service and waitress was great and the food was served quickly, but overall it was just ok. The coleslaw is vinegar based, the pork was average and the collard greens were actually delicious with great flavor. I had hoped for the food to be more unique, but overall the experience was good and the food served it's purpose!

Ran to try this plate out after recently seeing Mark Wiens came to make a youtube video about this barbecue restaurant. The restaurant is located in a great place right beside the Greensboro coliseum. I enjoyed trying both the barbecue and chicken sandwich along with hush puppies and fries. I prefer crispier fries but the hush puppies were nice and crispy on the outside. The slaw they add on the sandwich was delicious as well as the barbecue vinegar sauce they had to pour over the meats. Overall the barbecue had a nice smokey flavor and the chicken wasn't dry at all. I made sure to try the apple ice-cream cobbler. I really liked it, I would have preferred more crust on the top of the cobbler. Great place for the price!
