The food was good, but didn't seem to have a barbecue flavor to it. I had the ribs and they were big with a lot of meat on them. They just packed the barbecue flavor. The server was real nice. They weren't real busy which surprised me, because I like said the food was good. The price was a little high, but what isn't these days. If they could get more of that smokey barbecue flavor they should be great to go. Parking: Plenty of parking available even if it's busy.

Wife came home and says why haven’t we tried this place, so we just did. Got the 4 meat combo to give Mitchell’s an honest taste. I was really trying to be non biased as I’m a retired NC BBQ judge. Sorry y’all, the pulled pork seemed a day or two old and tasteless and the color almost looked as some SC mustard sauce was added. St. Louis ribs were not a good cut and very fatty. I never think I really tasted the dry rub. I did see some smoke ring but couldn’t identify the smoke. Turkey was moist and wife said tasted like grocery store turkey, I agreed. Brisket was moist but fattier than most I’ve had in a while and lacked any smoke bbq flavor and I couldn’t make out any discernible smoke ring. Gave you an honest try but we will stick with Nicks for local Q.

Overall I am very disappointed in the "smoked" meats. From the picture alone you can tell these meats had not been smoked for long or at all. The sides and BBQ sauces are what kept this establishment from a 1 star rating. Do note that my order was to-go so I have no comments on the service. 4 meat sampler: Bisket - there was no bark, a large lack in seasoning and the meat is overcooked. Ribs - These must have been boiled, then slapped on a grill for 5 mins before they were sent out. They pull right off the bone, but have no smokey flavor and taste watery. Pulled pork - There is no bark on the pulled pork and absolutely no seasoning to them. Chicken - Best of the meats, came with a nice seasoning, just a but overcooked BBQ Sauces - Very tasty and the variety is nice Baked beans - these were well done and had a nice homemade touch to them Collard Greens - Good taste with a light kick, nothing too special here.

Was meaning to try this place for a while, and stopped in for lunch. Waitress was very friendly and attentive, bringing out a big glass of water and popcorn right away. She also checked back on me several times during my meal, which was appreciated. I ordered just a pound of brisket with no sides. The brisket was a little on the dry side, but this seems to be from it sitting under heat lamps too long. With some of their BBQ sauce added it was ok. I tried to pay in cash, but she said the owner went on vacation and didn't leave enough cash in the restaurant even to be able to make change for $40. Seems a little amateur hour-ish for an owner to do that. The atmosphere was good and the place was clean. If the brisket was a little juicier, not as dry, it would be five star.

We're a little far from our usual BBQ place. Hubby had a serious craving. I searched for 30 minutes and couldn't decide where to go to get what he wanted. Found Mitchell's. Menu had what he wanted. We were not disappointed at all. I was initially kinda bummed that they only had Sharp White Cheddar Mac and Cheese. As a Mac and Cheese lover I'm 50/50 when it comes to White Cheddar. It was probably the best White Cheddar Mac and cheese I've ever had. Ribs were fall off the bone. Chicken, beef, and pulled pork were great as well. The Pickle Sticks were a different take on pickle chips and I'm not hating! Wish I had taken pictures but I always forget! Only reason it wasn't a full 5 stars is where we usually would go is a little cheaper with a little larger portions. Otherwise, it was and fantastic experience!
