Best Barbecue in Triangle – This old fashioned barbecue resturaunt offers great good with a great atmosphere. Although small, the southern hospitality makes you feel good to go along with the excellent food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Good road side - electric cooked BBQ – If there is a reason to cook BBQ with electricity, it is a constant low temperature to leave the meat moist and tender. Olde Time BBQ gets extra points for this. The texture of the meat is very good. The BBQ or combo plates are a value. The sauces on the table are among the bets vinagar-peper sauces around - sweet, spicy, or extra spicy. Overall, this is a good value and worth a drive to that part of the county.

Awesome Food! – The experience at Ole Time is like no other. The food is delicious with a large helping at a great price! The owner is always there to ask how your meal was. The friendly employees just top the whole experience off! Highly recommended!

NOT good NC BBQ – I was really craving some good Eastern NC BBQ but this was not it. THe BBQ was super-greasy and good BBQ doesn't have to be that way. I like the vinegar taste, but this BBQ wasn't tasty at all. The choice of sides is good--better than most places + the take-out option is convienent, but only if you care for the food. That was my 1st + last time at Ole Time.

foshizzle barbefizzle – The barbeque is great, but the sauce is what makes this place one of the best. Be sure to add either the hot or mild sauce for Ole Time's real flavor! This place has been a favorite of mine for 6 years, ever since it was reccommended by a friend in college. Don't let the hole-in-the-wall appearance scare you away (it can be a little intimidating the first time for city-folk like myself).

It's good...but not great – hey now, I used to live right down the street from Ole Time BBQ in Raleigh and I am kind of amazed at the reviews that say it's the best in NC! The bbq is average at best. Chicken is pretty damn good though. The staff is what makes this place. The owner is very friendly and i've had many a conversation with him. I went there just to interact and feel like I was at home. If you took away the great atmoshpere and most friendly staff, the food wouldn't hold up this place. Definitely NOT the best BBQ ... read more

Some 'tings good....some 'tings bad – I see lots of high ratings and comments about "real-BBQ" and "top-ten" in NC and I'm telling you, it just can't be. I always love the "shacky" vibe but the food still quite ain't there. Chicken pastry:(used to be good)now has befallen a fate not worthy of mention.. What Happened? Porky Pig? Still a faint portrait of "real" BBQ but better. The Brunswick Stew-tasteless and merely an afterthought. Collards: Enough juice to fill goshen swamp...drain them, season them...show them some love!

The Real Thang – This is almost a roadside shack, and if you know anything about BBQ, you know that is a good thing. Jerry, the owner, will treat you like family and the hushpuppies are the stuff of dreams. Usually a line for lunch...
