Their barbecue is also excellent, but one of their hidden treasures is the smoked chicken wings. These wings are large, meaty, and beautifully smoked to a mahogany brown. My wife and I made the mistake of ordering 30 wings to share, which turned out to be way too much for us to finish — we had to take about half home because they're so big, and trust me, I can eat! The service here is outstanding; the waitstaff is always friendly and attentive, even during busy times. My only request would be to offer beer, but I understand this is a family-friendly establishment. I highly recommend Carroll's. I'm sure your experience will be just as great as ours!
Review: Carroll’s Barbecue vs Bigun’s We are staying in this area for 6 weeks and really wanted to spend time supporting the locals. However, like all my reviews, I strongly believe in telling both the good and bad. We had already visited Bigun’s in Talking Rock, and while we were there we saw the huge billboard across the street for Carroll’s so we decided to give it a shot. Ambiance. Not much to say. It's a BBQ place. It was clean, well organized, and had all the normal amenities. Service. Terrible. There was literally one person working the register and a line out the door. She was not friendly at all. In comparison when we went to Bigun’s we were laughing with the cashier. This lady seemed like we were doing her a favor eating there. The only positive is they did bring out our “appetizer” to our table first and then our lunch after. Food. This is where they really fall short. For a bit, I thought how can you really screw up barbeque. Well you can. Smoked Sausage was more like a Hillshire farms polish Kielbasa. No comparison to Bigun’s Sliced Brisket awful. Whatever they use for the rub is not working. Unless you cut the out ring of the Brisket you literally feel like you are eating a handful of peppercorns work a teaspoon of hot sauce. Beans Hmmm well I would say they were like as good as a can of Bush’s beans. I did however enjoy the fried pickles although can you really screw up anything fried. Overall hands down Bigun’s is way better. Even if you leave up in Blue Ridge Bigun’s is worth the drive. Now I know why they put a gigantic billboard across from Bigun’s. It's a high traffic area given Bigun’s amazing food. Who am I: I have traveled the world including 67 countries and 32 US states and have had the opportunity to eat at over 500 Michelin star restaurants and dined with several international chefs. I believe that every restaurant has opportunities to grow and consider myself fair but critical.
My wife and I enjoyed a trek to Blue Ridge GA today. We dined in at Carroll’s BBQ, and had the Pork BBQ lunch special 9.50 — This included the pork bbq sandwich, tots/fries, and a coke. The cashier was very friendly, and helpful. She suggested the Brisket, as we had not been— but wasn’t on the lunch special ….Probably should have. The Pork was just fair… Smokey, a bit dry, and the bun was just mehhh—Their mustard sauce was very good, as was the sweet and spicy sauce. Coke machine was down initially, but was replaced quickly upon suggestion…All in all was fair….a 6.5 out of 10. People working there are the draw for Carroll’s.
My husband and I visit the area once a year and always make a point to eat at Carroll’s BBQ at least twice during our week long stay. We always get the ribs which are fall of the bone tender with a great flavor. The best we have ever had at any BBQ restaurant. And, we are from NC and know our BBQ! Every side we have tried bbq beans, slaw, fried okra and potato salad has been delicious. We had the cobbler with ice cream on our first visit this time and it was so good! But…the reason for 3 stars is the coconut cake. On Wednesday, May 24, our last evening in Blue Ridge after another delicious meal, we decided to get a piece of coconut cake to take back to our rental cabin to eat later. It did not taste freshly made. It was dry and a little stale. We had to throw part of it out. Such a disappointment and a waste of $6. By the time we got around to eating it, the restaurant was closed so we could not make the trip from Morganton to return it. If we had ordered it to eat at the restaurant, we would have definitely sent it back. I definitely recommend eating here but cannot recommend the coconut cake based on our experience.
I had lunch here today, and I was disappointed with the food. Both the pulled pork and ribs were mushy, suggesting they were overcooked and excessively salty. If it were just about the food, I would give it only 2 stars. However, the service was good and the restaurant was clean, which was a plus.
