Reviews for Tar Heel Q

Tarheel Q delivers authentic Lexington-style barbecue with juicy chopped pork, flavorful wings, and classic sides like hush puppies and fries that keep me coming back every time. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, making each visit enjoyable despite the busy atmosphere. Whether dining in or using the convenient drive-up window, the fresh, homemade quality of the food and the welcoming staff create a dining experience that's truly satisfying.

The BBQ is the best around but other food items are barely mediocre and that is on!y if you dine inside. Thier takeout is the worst I've ever seen. They stuff all of your order in one small bag leaving your food smashed and hardly recognizable. My most recent experience had my food so smashed that I was literally peeling the paper wrapping from my sandwich in pieces because the compressed sandwich squeezed the juices out leaving a messy, drenched, unappealing sandwich. This is not my first experience like this. I keep going back in hopes that things change but there is no change. I think I have made my final visit to this restaurant.
