Ordered Tuesday night special prime rib. Was cooked perfectly. A bit cold when served. Very good flavor. Came with good mashed potatoes and some homemade Mac and cheese. Both were good. Nice setting. Happy with food and service. Not very busy but being a Tuesday night during winter expected. Definitely worth a try.

⭐ Short Review Great food. Great BBQ atmosphere. Friendly service. The brisket alone is worth the trip. Don’t just read about it — Come and See. Taste and see. ⭐ Long Review My wife and I went this past Sunday for lunch. We had been to Green River BBQ years ago, but since they’ve changed ownership, it felt like it was time to try it again. We were greeted with smiles, seated quickly, and taken care of by Jacob, who did a great job walking us through some of his favorites on the menu. Always appreciate a server who actually knows the food. We decided to try his favorite appetizer — Fried Green Tomatoes. Now, in the South, those can be hit or miss depending on the batter and the fryer. These? Not even in the same category. Think filet mignon compared to a bargain-bin steak. They came st

Our trip today to Green River BBQ, found great service and a fun atmosphere. We ordered a couple of sandwiches to get a taste for their pork and brisket.Along with greens and fried okra. Everything was good overall.

Best BBQ I've had, hands down. The potato salad is INCREDIBLE. I'm not big on barbecue and I honestly wasn't even going to stop for lunch but someone told me that I absolutely had to stop here so I decided to grab something to go and I sure am glad I did. Had the absolute best barbecue sandwich with potato salad and homemade barbecue chips and it was absolutely incredible. I've already told multiple people about this place and will definitely be back. What a gem

First time stopping into this cute little bbq joint in Saluda. My server, Faybrianne, was wonderful! She guided me through all the options and was super helpful throughout. My drink never went dry, and the food came out quickly! I had the Smokehouse Burger and a side of the Tomato Pie. The burger was phenomenal!!!! Tomato pie was so good, I ordered a whole one to go. I'm taking home 2lbs of the pulled pork. If I don't update on how that was....take it to mean that I'm in a food coma, and it was great too!! I'll be back for sure!!! Gonna go around the world on this menu!! Thanks again to the cooks and Faybrianne for making my first experience a great one!
