This place is delicious! Great BBQ and really good service. The staff is super friendly and hospitable. You order at the counter... and they bring your food out to you. Plenty of seating and a few TV's inside. Gluten free friendly as well which is a hugebonus. Their brisket, turkey, sweet potato tots, pulled pork, texas toast, and sauces are delicious. The 3 Cheese Mac N Cheesewas a bit bland and could have been better but I would dine here again. Thanks for a great experience guys! Read more
Ordered the brisket sandwich with honey-chipotle and regular sauce as the nice lady at the register told me I'd be able to split... sauce options. For sides, I picked the mac and cheese. I glanced around the restaurant while I waited and as soon as I put theorder in, it was ready to take home! The fat on the brisket tasted tummy, but overall the meat was a little drier than I liked.The sauces helped with the flavor but didn't stand out to me as exceptional. The mac and cheese side was kind of small and wasalright as well. I added the hot sauce I had at home to it for extra flavor. Overall, I think there's still a lot of stiffcompetition for BBQ in the triad, but this would be a great and affordable lunch/dinner option to pick up for something quick tosatisfy a meaty craving.

This place is a gem. I had no idea it was here nor that they had been in business for years before I visited! I got the pulled... pork sandwich and it was as good as I hoped. The sweet sauce on the side was a great addition. We also ordered cheese curds,smoked wings (holy cow that's a lot of meat and flavor in a wing!), creamed corn, and a couple platters. Our whole group wasthoroughly impressed all the way around! We will have to visit this place more often from now on! Read more
We were very pleased with the takeout that we got from Honky Tonk six-weeks ago so today we decided to have a mid-afternoon meal... at the restaurant. I had my heart set on some ribs but at 2PM, they had already sold out their first batch of the day so Iordered a pulled pork platter with collards and Brunswick Stew. My wife got the slider platter and chose brisket, pulled pork,and chicken with a side of barbecue slaw and a seasonal special of sweet potato casserole. You order and pay at a front counter,get your own drink and sit where you can find a table labeled ¨this table has been disinfected. When you sit down you flip thesign over and it says something like, ¨this table has not been disinfected.¨ We had not been sitting long when Lizzie, thehostess came over and said some ribs would be done before we left and asked if I wanted to take some home. I took her up on theoffer. Our food was there very soon after that. They have multiple sauces and I chose honey chipotle. The barbecue was nicelymoist but not too wet like some that I encountered here in the Piedmont. The collards had an excellent flavor and I give theBrunswick stew a thumbs up. I got a taste of the brisket my wife ordered and it was also excellent. One of the reasons I enjoyedmy pulled pork was that it had some nice burnt ends which are often prized for their flavor enhancing quality..I also like thechoice of sauces since I have had some not so great ones since leaving Eastern NC. The staff had their masks on, the food camequickly was reasonably priced. The servings were very generous and it was all delicious. I have eaten at almost all of theplaces on the NC Barbecue Trail and I would rather eat at Honky Tonk Smokehouse than most of them. I have also eaten at morethan half a dozen highly recommend barbecue places within 50 miles of Winston-Salem in the last seven months. There are only acouple of those places that interest me enough to go back. I can guarantee that I will be regular at H Read more
This was my first time trying - pregnant and craving some good BBQ. I got the BBQ pork platter. I just wasn?t impressed. Very... dry, and tasted like it wasn?t the freshest. Mac and cheese was tasteless and was pretty terrible. Slaw was decent. Sweet teaalso tasted spoiled. The sauce (original) was pretty good. But, I?ve never had dry smoked BBQ - and this indicated to me itwasn?t fresh/overcooked. * Based on the owners comment - maybe I didn?t specify enough. It was microwaved, like 100% microwavedand dry. It was not fresh food and I ordered early when you guys opened. I know microwaved BBQ and this was exactly that. Itisn?t a preference, it?s just not fresh.* Safe to say I won?t be ordering again unfortunately. Read more
Delicious BBQ place with hush puppies, fried okra, fries, and so many delicious meats. Not too big but we've not had to wait to... find a seat yet. Tried their wings for the first time today and they were good even without sauce! Haven't had their dessertsyet to give a comment on those. Maybe next time we go? Read more
