Straws BBQ

We were traveling from out of state and decided to stop at Straws BBQ. When we walked in, there were four employees standing at the register, and unfortunately no one greeted us. They literally stared at us like the creeps did in the movie "Get Out". The atmosphere went silent, and felt awkward / uncomfortable / unwelcome. After waiting a moment without any acknowledgment, we decided to leave and dine elsewhere. We ended up at a very friendly restaurant with great service and delicious food.

Staff is friendly, bathroom is clean. We came around 3:30 hoping for some brisket or ribs, so they only had chicken, pulled pork, stew, and slaw. The young woman up front said brisket was gone by 10:30 every day because of construction crews. Understandable, but annoying. The meat itself was well cooked, it was my first time having vinegar based bbq and I wasn't a huge fan. The slaw was good, and I wasn't big on the stew.

Great little place to eat if you’re in the area. Had the chicken plate, chicken was good definitely needed a little more rub and smoke but I did like it wasn’t soggy and fatty. The skin wasn’t rubbery like most other places. Slaw was awesome, I really enjoyed it. The stew on the other hand wasn’t my favorite, not very hearty and was runny. I was in there amongst the other dawg fans and people down for deer season and enjoyed the wait staff and their friendliness. Will go back. Just not ordering the stew.

Don't let their simple surroundings fool you. These folks know what they're doing with BBQ. Generous portions of meat in the sandwich.The BBQ was very reasonably priced.

The service was excellent. The pulled pork was excellent. The baked beans with meat was excellent. The Brunswick Stew was watery and had no flavor. I would eat there again just wouldn’t order the Brunswick Stew.
