Rock Store Bar-B-Q

This place is amazing!!! Staying in town for just a couple days and was looking for a good barbecue place. I read reviews on Unilocal and let me tell you, they did not let me down!!! The pulled pork and chicken was amazing… the barbecue sauce was out of this world. The service was great, they kept checking on us and making sure we were ok. If you are looking for a great place to eat, chose them!

Seriously good BBQ! The food is great! The ribs are a family favorite. The service is fast, efficient, and friendly — everything you’d want!

This place is absolutely incredible. Classic, no frills great barbecue. Easy in and out and friendly service. Highly recommended.

I’m not a huge fan of BBQ, but I do like it from time to time. i think this is the best I’ve ever had. The flavor of the pulled pork is delicious. For sides we have gotten the baked beans, macaroni and cheese, cole slaw and corn bread-​all were excellent. Very affordable, too. I thought the BBQ sauce was good, but I’m from New England so what do I know?!

My husband loves barbecue, came here because of the amazing reviews and was worth it! Firstly can we say how adorable this place is? I know that’s not important to the boys but the charm is incredible, love the building. I can say that because the food is great! The pork is just perfect, the ribs are so meaty and fall off the bone, incredible! Now I asked them before choosing sides what they would recommend. They said they don’t make them in house and I appreciated their honesty… I haven’t been a fan of the sides, so I just get the meat here take out style and use my own sides. Can I again say how cute this building is??? Seriously!

The pulled pork was nice and tender. it had a good flavor without the BBQ sauce. I didn’t like the flavor of the BBQ sauce. it was pretty runny and tangy, but I’m used to thick and sweet/​spicy sauce…

Great bbq at a great price. The macaroni and cheese is out of this world! I received my food quickly and everything was cooked perfectly. The guy behind the counter was friendly. I am making this my new bbq joint :)

Building is neat, employees helpful and polite, sauces were good, great lunch price but I found the food itself bland. The pork was tender but the only flavor it had was of propane. It required quite a bit of sauce to enjoy. With that said I have had much worse BBQ but I was expecting more from past reviews.

Pretty good BBQ, definitely not the best I’ve had but hits the spot. Wasn’t a huge fan of the Mac and cheese, too fake cheese tasting. Corn bread and banana pudding were both excellent!

Decent BBQ
Ribs way over sauced, wiped off, then bland and fat not rendered.
Pork bland, but ok.
Beans nothing different than canned.
Good corn bread.
Nice staff with friendly service.
Chop their brisket, which means something to other BBQ people

Locally-​owned, friendly, efficient, and delicious. Pretty soon my blood type will be vinegar based…

Our go-​to for barbecue. Definitely a no frills destination. But, the food cannot be beat. The service is lightning quick. The food perfectly hot or cold – depending on what you order. And, the side dishes are not the typical commercial style beans and potato salad. Nope. You have to try the cucumber salad. And, the Mac n Cheese tastes homemade. Finally, the large banana pudding is perfect for sharing. later on that night. You’re just too full of BBQ goodness to eat it right away. Give it a go. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic BBQ! Just got the pulled pork and it was excellent. My wife gave a hearty thumbs up for the red slaw and my daughter said the mac and cheese were awesome. Baked beans were a bit of a disappointment. but after eating the burnt end baked beans from Haywood Smokehouse in Dillsboro, nobody’s beans are going to come close. The Brunswick stew was good.

Flavor used to be good, now it’s losing it’s taste. Might be switching to freezer made stuff, not sure.

Man, a little taste of home (eastern NC). Like another reviewer said, very ‘clean’ pulled pork. Probably best I’ve had in years. Great eastern Carolina sauce. Cucumber and onion salad is delicious and the Brunswick stew is just a hair off awesome.
Simple styro plates and cups, plastic spoons, etc.
Affordable too! Lunch special for $ 6, plate and 2 sides is $ 8 (flat!)

Amazing find, thanks Unilocal.Came in for a meeting and had to grab lunch so I found this gem. The food is amazing and the service is awesome. I got the pulled pork Sammy with baked beans as a side and the slaw that was vinegar based. Everything was on point. I wish they had places like this is Cali…

Mouth-​watering, crave-​able (is that even a word?) finely chopped, aromatic Q on a little bun. Red slaw is my choice of side. They have no fryers, so, no fries, onion rings or hushpuppies, but you will not miss those fillers with this sandwich! Banana pudding is popular, too– but I’d save room for another sandwich! Oh, the all stone exterior is cool, all pine inside is traditional and cool to see these days.
Small establishment, so take-​out is easy; nothing to spill.

Ok, I’ve been on a bbq kick for lunch lately. This place hits the spot. A tiny little rock store, literally, right on Old Monroe Rd in the Stallings area. They do a $ 6 sandwich special with pulled bbq sandwich, side & drink. Super quick and tasty. I really like the pulled pork. Nice flavor. Good sauces too. I’m a fan of the baked beans, mac & cheese and the banana pudding. Friendly service and there is a fresh produce stand right next door. If you’re in the area, looking for a quick bbq lunch, this is a good place to stop.

This place is cute on the outside but Not so good on the inside. The barbque sandwich was not my favorite. But my hub said his barbque platter was ok.
The seating area was ugly, old, cramped & felt dirty. Worse than an old Hardee’s. I guess I was expecting a cute décor to match the outside.
The guy at the order counter was rude & uptight. Hub had opened a cooler door which was right at the register (on our side, not behind the counter) to get a cup of coleslaw & the guy said, «Don’t touch that. We don’t allow customers to get their own.» Well then why is right beside the counter?
This place needs help. It’s in a great location & has a beautiful exterior. It could be a gold mine if the inside décor matched. And they hired nicer people.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
The «cleanest» pulled pork I’ve ever had. A choice of 4 sauces. Great sides that aren’t fries! Ribs to die for. UNSWEET tea! What a wonderful little hole in the wall.
