Joe's Old Fashioned Barbecue

Mom and Pop restaurant that has been around for many,many years. You step into nostalgic memories, not fancy but friendly, good food.a must stop and grab some authentic great NC barbecue and hushpuppies!!!!

My fiancé and I went to Joe's the week prior to 7/31/24 we got 2 small pork chop plates and 2 sweet teas upon check out the manager charge me 42 I asked wow what did we order the special is only 10.50 she said you ordered off the menu I said ok and paid it. Then on 7/31/24 I return with my co workers as I was looking at the menu to decide what I was going to order I observed the prices of the pork chop plates and the 2 teas it was only 30 so upon checking out I confronted the same manager along with conferring the waitress that had taken my order the week prior and told the same manager she had over charged me the week prior she put all kind of excuses that she don't remember.. I took out 2 thousands dollars out my pocket and laid it on the counter in front of her and told her I'm not trying to steal from you because I got money and I need her to make it right by either giving me my money or equivalent of food thre of . I wanted my money or 2 pork chop sandwiches or I was not coming back until she made it right !! Her face turned red as a tomato !! She flung her head around and saying nothing and stormed off to the Kitchen saying nothing and left me standing at the cash register... so I advise people to not eat at Joe's bar b q.. if she cheated me . There's no telling how many more senior citizens that she's cheated who has trouble reading or writing

Their meatloaf is good but this time I thought I would try their ribs. They were the absolute worse with the most pitiful presentation! I can’t tell what cut they used because I have never seen ribs with a wide short bone. No smoked taste, suspect par-boiled and only tasted one kind of seasoning salt flavor. No sauce was offered either. They were meaty but just too strange and unappetizing for me. I trashed after 2 bones. Total waste of money.

I just loves Joe’s BBQ and slaw! So delicious! All of their food is great!

My family and I have been eating at Joe's for years .. great service .. great food .. land or sea .. it's never a disappointment .. I Love Joe's BBQ ..
