Reviews for RICK'S NC BBQ in Oriental, NC
We tried Rick's for the first time a few months ago and loved it. Fast forward to my 10year old's birthday party this past... weekend and he specifically requested Rick's BBQ and Fried Chicken. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was so good. We are definitelyfans, and I think created some new fans with our guests. Thank you for such a great product and service! ???????????? Read more
Rick catered my wedding celebration over Labor Day weekend. I'm so glad we went with him. He worked very closely with us to... put our menu together. We have out of town family and friends coming and I'd like for them to get a southern BBQ feast. We hadribs, pulled pork, fried chicken and all the fixings: mac & cheese, potato salad, baked beans plus good old sweet tea. Ourguests raved about the taste and the quality of the food. Hubby and I gained a new set of friend. Highly, highly recommended! Read more
One of the quiet surprises in eastern North Carolina. A barbecue chef from Maryland comes down here and shows most of the locals... up and how to do Q. Everything about this place is scratch made and great. And Try his fried chicken! I think the Colonel couldlearn how to make fried chicken from this culinary artist. And his other meats will make u want to go on a Keto or Adkins diet.Well worth the trip here. Read more
I don't normally leave reviews but feel the need to with this one. Best place I have eaten in the past 24 years! Yes it is that... good. This place has it all; above perfect service, AMAZING food, nice and clean atmosphere! This was our second trip ...I wasgoing back for the BBQ (which is the best I've had since those family backyard pig cooking weekends in rhems Tuscarora in theearly 90s) but when I got there they had this rosemary baked chicken...oh my it was the best thing I have EVER tasted!! Ever!! Ihave tried their fried chicken, bbq, baked chicken, potato wedges, collards, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and their cornbread.Would recommend it all. They are consistent and definitely know what they are doing. I had the chance to tell the owners todayjust how much their food has impacted me in just my two trips. Since having covid Jan 2021 nothing tasted good..nothing...untilRick's bbq! So much flavor in everything and I can definitely taste the love they have in their food. This place has heart and Iwill most definitely be a regular!! Thank you again wholeheartedly!! Will also be keeping this place in my prayers because thisplace is worth keeping around!! Read more
Rick's bbq has the BEST ribs you will ever try. Everything he does there is great. Chicken is delicious and crispy as well as... all of his side dishes. He truly has the best BBQ and fried foods. But the best part of this place is Rick! He's one of thenicest guys you will ever meet. My family and I look forward to going there and seeing him and eating dinner there. Relaxed andfun. Grateful to have this spot near our home. Thanks Rick! Read more
First time there. Was on a motorcycle ride with my wife and saw his signs on the roadside. This guy has a sense of... humor. Anyway, had a fantastic brisket sandwich, Cole slaw and potato wedges, my wife had the chicken tenders, made to order sothey were hot when she got them. Not cooked hours earlier and stuck under a heat lamp. Everything was fantastic! The owner MrRick came out and said hi and enjoyed his company for a few minutes. The staff was friendly and personable. We will definitelyhit this place again next time we are in Oriental! I can't wait to try his ribs!! Read more
We had the pulled pork, fried chicken, ribs, brisket sandwich, mac n cheese, slaw and collard greens. Everything was awesome!... Yes, Rick can do brisket. Having lived in Texas for 5 years, I've had my share of brisket, and Rick's is very good. Service wasfast and friendly. I'll be eating at Rick's every time I'm in the area! Read more
