Old Hampton Store Bbq - Linville

We was really excited to try this place. And was let down hard. We ordered several things off the menu they was very pricey and the only thing I would recommend is the fries and Mac and cheese. My husband ordered wings, after a while they came and told us they was out. No problem just refund it, no she didn't wanna do that. And to top everything else there was long black hairs under my chicken salad. We seen the bad reviews we assumed they was just harsh people, no listen to the bad reviews.

Such a hidden local treasure! Great live music (classic rock) and bbq

We were craving bbq after a nice long hike, this hit the spot! Fast, friendly, and the food was fantastic! My husband decided to try the smoked chicken salad plate (mac cheese) and while I went with the pulled pork plate (collard greens fries) along with a basket of fried okra! It was all great! We were able to sit out side with our furry sidekick and still hear and enjoy the live music from inside. Great atmosphere! We will be back!

Stopped here for lunch with the family during vacation. The atmosphere and live music were excellent, definitely 5 stars for that part of the experience. As for the BBQ part, menu options were limited to pulled pork or chicken, which was a bit disappointing since we came here looking for brisket. But both were very tasty along with the fried okra and potato salad. The sauce bar was great too, nice vinegar based Carolina bbq sauce. It’s self serve for a lot of things which I prefer since you don’t have to wait for a waiter/waitress. Seating was a bit limited. I’d say the place is somewhere between a roadside stand and a full blown restaurant. Great gift shop in the store itself was nice and the art shop next door is definitely worth checking out.

Awesome store and restaurant. Pricey for the amount of food we got. But was very good. The BBQ sauces were amazing. The store is great. Lots of differently priced items, inexpensive to (insanely) expensive. Haha. Art etc. We ended up buying some jams/preserves and they were just fantastically tasty! It was a very steady type of busy. So be ready to wait. And you seat and get your food yourself.
