This is a great place for BBQ!! One of the best I've had! Service was very quick and friendly. Food was excellent. And the restaurant has nice big windows for great natural light. Definitely recommend!

Genuinely the best smash burger I’ve ever had, barbecue cheese fries are different in the best way possible, classic Diner sweet tea, not a negative thing to say about this place. Service was awesome and regular, 4 tvs as well, I will 100% be back

Update: The family meals are a great deal, with plenty of deliscious food. Also we have been back several times now and everything we've tried is awesome!!! This is definitely our favorite bbq spot now!♥️ Omgoodness, the food is so good!😋 We stopped in on Sunday June 8 on our way home from watching the Savannah Bananas🍌 in Charlotte. My husband had the brisket🐃, I had the barbecue🐷, and my Mama had the half chicken🐔. Everything was cooked to perfection.😋 I must say it's better than LRB! Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it right!👏🏻

This place has really good food. We sat at the bar and had some of the best smoked barbarque we have ever had with a couple of cold beers. The service was great and so polite. We will be back and try the milkshakes next.

After visiting a few wineries in Yadkin Valley, we needed some dinner before hitting the road home. On a Saturday evening during prime time dinner hours (with no reservations), our group of 7 was having a hard time finding a place to accommodate us. We called Royall's and were told there would only be a 20 minute wait for our group. Sold! When we got there, Alex (the owner) greeted us with a jolly smile. Were were all able to wait at the bar for the table to become available. While scanning the menu, Alex passionately explained some of the restaurant offerings. We could tell by his excitement, the food would be delicious. The group agreed! The burgers were amazing as we all raved over the beef and brisket blended smashed patties. We also enjoyed the brisket and pork. To top it all of,
