Ole Time Barbecue - Raleigh

I visited once, 8 years ago, and woke up today thinking about this place. The food was so good, but what I really remember was how well I was treated. I came in alone and exhausted on a work trip. I sat at the bar top and although this was my first time anywhere near Raleigh, I was treated like regular that comes in every week. I remember my waitress making suggestions with enthusiasm. You could tell she loved the place too. While I was eating, the cooks called out to me from the kitchen and asked how I was enjoying it. As was finishing, my waitress came by again and asked if I had room for dessert. I told her I didn 't but I was going to get some anyway. Then, she brought me a bowl of banana pudding that I didn 't order and said, You 're going to love this. She was right. My bill was only $20 or so but I tipped the same amount as the bill and left so happy that I am sitting here, 8 years later, thinking about it with a big smile on my face.

A hidden jem in the Raleigh/Cary vicinity, and it has all the best components one seeks when having a day off breaking bread with ones visiting daughter. The service 10, the food 10, the smell and cleanliness 10. Definitely a place to visit over and over

If you like small “hole in the wall” type of restaurants, unapologetic and delicious food? This is your spot! Had the combination plate and it’s plenty for 2 people but obviously ate the whole thing. 100% recommended.

We were in town and wanted to try a local place. It's very small but cool. Service was good. The food was alright, mashed potatoes were instant, hush puppies were good and nice that they came out with our drinks for free!

A friend of mine were wanting some NC BBQ as we made our way to the PNC arena. From the moment we entered, we were greeted warmly and the waitress was funny and very accommodating to us and the many people coming in for take out orders. So I had the pulled pork and chicken breast and wing combination with mashed potatoes and gravy and homemade baked Mac and Cheese the best kind! Add to that sweet tea to wash it down! Everything was on point! Nothing but one of the best experiences in a restaurant that I ever had as well as the best dinner! I’m so glad I was able to take a chance and go! I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area! Kudos!
