Allen & Son Bar-B-Que

CELIACs BEWARE!!!I was informed that they put gluten in their barbecue, and there is NOTHING here that is safe for us to eat. Be warned that they don't care about dietary restrictions - this was the first time that they actually told me that after many years of asking.

This barbecue was recommended to us by a barber from carborro and it did not disappoint..... They had fabulous classic Carolina pulled pork with their famous vinegar sauce. we also enjoyed Cole slaw, fried okra, fried dill, pickles, coleslaw and new Brunswick stew. My son had the fried catfish which was also delicious. He also really enjoyed his tater tot side . They served two really big pieces of fish with each meal.. all the meals came with tasty hush puppies.Service was good and quick .Ambience was fairly typical of Carolina barbecue places.

Friendly quick service and me and the three kiddos couldn't wait to get home so we enjoyed the barbecue in the car (high risk but worth it lol)

Excellent NC style pork barbecue. No beef. Brisk lunch time crowd, take out window and indoor seating. Check website for hours. Country atmosphere with red & white checked oil cloth table coverings. Service efficient and friendly.

Allen & Son's knows what it's doing -- no frills, simple menu, and incredible barbecue. We got the barbecue plate with barbecue pork, hush puppies, fries, and baked beans.The bean was classic NC vinegar BBQ - succulent and delicious. The hush puppies had a touch of sweetness. The beans were were appropriately sweet and complemented the vinegary flavor of the meat.

This low-key drive up or dine in restaurant showed up in the middle of our drive from Raleigh to Clemmons and we had to stop and check it out. Being from Minnesota we were looking for good southern food (not a chain restaurant) and this was a pretty good spot. I like the idea of driving in and ordering at the window but there is not much for parking. You can choose to sit inside or outside as well. There was only one table with shade outside and that was taken so we ate inside. The service was super fast, we had catfish and a BBQ plate and both were delicious. It's a nice little place with friendly hometown people, and these are always the best places to stop at!

We saw this as we were driving by and decided to turn around and check it out.We pulled into the small parking area which is shared with another business which we also checked out. My wife and I were not hungry because we had just eaten but after quickly looking at their ratings on Yelp and Google we knew we had to stop. Since we have moved to North Carolina, my wife has discovered that she loves hush puppies and this gave her another opportunity to try them. They have a menu board on the front and you order through a window, then wait for your number to be called. There is also signage stating there is indoor seating but we did not go inside since we were just grabbing a light snack. As we checked out the menu, others were waiting for their orders and picking up. You know when they have on their menu board "Bulk Orders To Go" it must be good. They sell their BBQ by the pound and the coleslaw, potato salad, Brunswick stew, baked beans, collard greens, and mac and cheese by as much as a gallon. We decided to just try the hush puppies and a side of the mac and cheese. The place looks like it has been here for many years and is a staple in the community. We also were impressed to see their recent health score of 99.My wife enjoyed the hush puppies and although the mac and cheese was creamy I did think the noodles themselves were overcooked.Would we recommend stopping - absolutely!

Tastes like LOVE with a side of HELL YA!Catfish rules! Banana Puddin, collards, tots from heaven.Tastes too good, might make you fat. IT IS WORTH IT!

It definitely had more of a take out atmosphere to it, rather than a dine-in one. The menu didn't have a whole lot on it for smoked options. The only smoked meat option I saw was pulled pork, so no brisket, chicken or ribs which was kinda disappointing. I got the pulled pork plate which comes with a SINGLE hushpuppy which I've never seen just 1 given before and I got baked beans and coleslaw with it. The beans just felt like heated up plain beans, nothing special about them. Coleslaw was pretty good, but a little dry. The BBQ was pretty tasty, very moist and didn't need any BBQ sauce. I also got the catfish sandwich to try and that was fantastic. It was fried perfectly and very good. I'd definitely recommend the catfish. The service I had wasn't that great,it took forever to get my drink refilled the entire time I was there and it was not busy today. BBQ - 7/10Catfish Sandwich - 8.8/10Baked beans - 5/10Coleslaw - 5.5/10Potato salad - 4/10

The pulled pork was just not good. It was very fatty and tasted like a lot of vinegar. Sad.
