Bar-b-q King in Charlotte

Always Great Food-We Have been there since we were 16yo Never Disappointed😁Most of WEST MECK SRHIGH went there😃 Best Drive in🤗

This is one of those hidden gems in Charlotte! It’s been here longer than most restaurants and it’s a must stop for delicious food! I’ve been here a few times and enjoyed it every time. I ordered the fried chicken livers and sweet tea. I know it’s not a popular dish but if you like chicken livers you won’t be disappointed here!! This place is on Wilkinson Blvd and can be easily missed if you are driving too fast. It’s right down from the DQ and across from the QT gas station! Look for the big neon red sign!!! Thank me later!!!

Good old fashioned drive in with great BBQ!

I have enjoyed going to this restaurant since i was a child. The food has always been amazing and consists, the guys that work there are some that have been there for as long as u can remember. This us all around just a great place, and i so love that i dont even have to leave the car. This establishment is a prime example of dont judge a book by its cover.

Classic drive-in style. Food was fine

The calabash shrimp was awesome. Very friendly service.

It's like old school been there for every food great price are reasonable.

Home of the deep fried chicken that's bathed in BBQ! STUPENDOUS its a word to describe this place. Diners Drive-ins & Dives featured this small drive - in style BBQ spot. I will dai the style of BBQ they serve is definitely different then what I'm used to but it was amazing. The sides were classic and good. But the DEEP FRIED CHICKEN BATHED IN SAUCE WAS INCREDIBLE! When in NC you gotta try it. All least once.

Life changing food. Places like this makes me wanna travel more and keep finding them.

I love this place! Best burger I've had .best chicken I've had. My son loves their chicken strip we go there alot .the staff are nice and welcoming .I'm so happy this place is close to us .

I'm not sure who was cooking on tonight (Fri Jan 17, 2020) BUT THEY NEED TO CONTINUE!! The fried chicken was cooked crispy and tender on the inside! YUM!! The absolute best! Keep it up! This place is legendary in Charlotte, EAT HERE!

(Giving a few negative stars today🌟) I’ve been coming almost weekly here five years and today was absolutely ridiculously and horrible. Speakers were not working to order, but no one is bothering to tell the customers. Moved to another stall and still didn’t get waited on. Had to go the the door to order and after a LONG wait and no food had to go and get order that still wasn’t delivered. When said speakers weren’t working I was told they didn’t care about getting them fixed. Food was cold. No utensils or napkins on tray. My sandwich was foul smelling and cold. Asked for another one to be made and was treated like I was inconveniencing them. Got a hot sandwich and still no napkins after asking. I am so disappointed and heartbroken because I love BBQ King. But after being treated like I didn’t matter and served the inedible food today; I won’t be back. 😞😒

Like traveling in a time machine where my dad will externally be. Thomas is old school and helpful. Food is exactly what you think it is / should be. Ask Thomas what to get. You CANNOT go wrong here

Good burgers and i love the food great place to eat

My god when i tell that food is amazing it's amazing! Yes the wait was long be it was Totally worth it i will definitely come back again

Great food especially their fish dinners. I've been dining here for over 20 years and hope to 20+ more

Called a to go order 15 mins before I got there and went and went in and gave my name. Waited another 25 mins. Went back in stated my name again. They had not put order in motion. Waited another 12 mins...😡

You have to try the onion rings. BEST ON THE PLANET.

Been eating there most of my 50 years. Still as good as ever. Hope to eat there 50 more! Lol

Food here was pretty decent. The coleslaw and beans were my favorite. Coleslaw was on the sweeter side, as was the bbq pork. The bbq pork was ok. Will try their fried chicken next time so i can write a better review.

My my what can I say! Getting to eat in your car with curbside service such a vintage experience! The car hops are so nice and have been there forever. 😎The trout fish 🐠 sandwich, fried chicken are great and those Super Boys 🍔!! My favorite though is their Chicken Salad Sandwich so yummy. But the icing on the cake is those mouth watering “ONION RINGS “ there are no better anywhere!! Believe me when I tell you you need to get some they are the ones I compare all onion rings to and I have never had better!! Yep the onion rings will change your life!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Go, hurry, get those O Rings!!!!!!

Excellent food..Excellent service..Love the car hops!

I am very disappointed with this place. The food here is beyond BLAND. The chicken was very greasy as well as the onion rings. Even the breading on the chicken was falling off. This was a complete waste of money.

One of my favorite places in the QC!!!!! When I went to school nearby we would be here at least 2 times a week. Amazing bbq and chicken. Try the bbq fried chicken and an extra side of the bbq sauce. Its warm sauce and compliments everything so well.

Hands down best chicken in the south. Hit it with the magic bbq juice and you got a meal, and a strange addiction...

Been coming here since I was a kid. Awesome food and staff!

Been going since 1955 one of the only places in Charlotte that has never changed absolutely the best used to drive around when I was in high school on Friday nights

This place was recommended by a local and it didn't disappoint. I currently live in Chicago and I have to say the BBQ sauce was amazing. The chicken was super crispy. Will definitely eat here aigan next time I visit. 👌🏽💙🍗

Delicious food, and excellent prices! Great family owned business.

Great food, very welcoming staff members, consistently good vibes. They charge affordable pricing and the food quality is great. Fantastic work.

When I drove up to the place it was dirty but I over looked that it being my first time eatting there. The food took forever to come out and the guy who brought it out damn near through the drink in the car.the food was okay but I will not be attending again

First time in Charlotte and we tried Bar-B-Q King for dinner. I was a little concerned when we pulled up. However, our meal was fantastic. I had the Bar-B-Q, slaw, onion rings and hush puppies. The Bar-B-Q was tender, the sauce was perfect. The slaw was delicious as were the hush puppies. The onion rings were the best I have ever had. We will be back.

Overcharged me when the web stated 10.85 for a combo when I got there their price stated 12.85 I was charged 18.95 hell no and didn't even get my fish smh and they usually on point with it not this time

There are few opportunities to eat at a restaurant where you can order from the car and have someone bring you your meal (eat there or take out) so you can eat in the car watching all of the other cars. It’s fun. Food is good and hot, not too much salt. Fries are very good. I recommend the experience. Never eaten here until today and I’m happy to say that it’s as advertised. The service was outstanding and the food is well....simply awesome!

My daughters and myself decided to eat there today. We all had the hot dogs and shared a large onion rings. Needless to say we all got sick within hours of eating here. Usually the food is on point but today just wasn't the day. 😨😱

They have the best grilled chicken sandwich ever!! Been going here since I was little and the food has never disappointed me.

Very disappointed not like it used to be. Fries were cold meat overcooked

Best of the Best !! Never disappointed. To all who have never been, this is an old style drive in [eat in your car]. Been eating here for 39 years. Best BBQ and BBQ Chicken around. Onion Rings are wonderful. I could really list the whole menu as great. Try it . You will love it !

Tried them out because the we're on the FOOD channel and I didn't regret it! Wonderful and kind service. Vinegar base BBQ, chicken to die for!

Great food. Great portions. Great prices.

Saw on tvfoodmap and tried the BBQ chicken. Very good, best BBQ chicken I've had. The breading is crunchy but not too thick and that citrus tart in the BBQ sauce is a unique flavor.

Stan the Man took care of us. The food did not disappoint. Went for the BBQ fried chicken and it was awesome. Just enough spice, crunch, and juicy fried chicken. Fantastic. Pork was good. Onion rings were perfect. Sweet tea was just right. Sauce was tasty and complimented everything. Great start to Charlotte business trip.

Great portion size. A delicious value.

Amazing Food! Beautiful People! Chilling Atmosphere! The heart of the culinary South delivers the goods from fried chicken to Trout to BBQ so good you'll be ready for more when your plate is empty!

If you love drive ins, this is the place for you! It has been around a long time but the food is always consistently great! Onion rings to die for! Best bbq chicken on the planet! Don’t miss out, go while it is still here.

Very good food and friendly atmosphere always Love there a great take out place or order out drive up just like the good old days Elvis loves there food ☺️

Owner recycles chicken. He believes freshly cooked, is refried chicken! Waste of time and money!

BBQ fried chicken with onion rings and the buffalo wings 😋👌 this is the best drive in in Charlotte NC..you have got to do yourself a favor and GO!!

I've been coming to BBQ King since I was a little girl. Now I'm 68 and still will travel MILES to eat there.. YUMMY

I've been coming here for 30 or more years. Best BBQ around, but not traditional style. I always get a sliced plate with extra sauce and onions rings. Its delicious and moist. Great in sandwich form as well. Its a drive in, and I enjoy eating in my car. They have wonderful fried fish or chicken. Lots of options. Definitely order a cherry lemon sprite. My mom gets this every time.
