Black's Barbecue

Well, it's always been a choice for folks in Gastonia, do you like Oreos better or do you like blacks better? My answer is always been black although they're almost like blacks is a better barbecue sandwich all the way around.

Black's is the best in BBQ sandwiches and for the amount of food they give you. You just can't beat it there all American and a great team of service everyone I have ever dealt with gives plenty and they are very polite. My mother and father went there when they were teenagers. Thank you to all the crew

The is pretty good old Gastonia style barbecue! My last visit I had a couple sliced bbq sandwiches and honey had one with a hot dog. I grew up on this style bbq, which is very unique, and these guys nail it with what I expected. The real key to the bbq sandwich around here is the bbq slaw. They nailed that too! The sliced or minced barbecue pork is very different than anywhere else outside of the area. It's more like pork tenderloin, no fat, no grease, just lean cooked pork. There's no smoke, no bbq sauce but just pork in a toasted bun smothered in that crazy good slaw. There's other options on their menu like the Roast Pork, Club , Ham LT, Smoked Turkey, Cheese Burger, Hamburger, BLT, Fish, and Grilled Cheese sandwiches but the Cheese Dog Burger is really something special too! The fries are okay but the onions rings are outstanding! Whatever yo do you gotta have another local phenom, that's the cherry lemon sundrops. It's a combination of two sodas (Sundrop & Cheerwine) that will quench any thirst. Bottom line: This is different from bbq anywhere else on the planet. Open your mind and your palett for a new and tasty culinary experience.

I am from South Carolina and live in Texas, and I would put that chili and slaw up against anything.The Hotdog is the best hotdog around, by a long shot. The slaw is enough by itself but the chili is world class.I prefer the minced bbq sandwich because you get the slow and meat together with every bite.Hamburger is good but the bbq sandwich and hotdog are on a different field of play.

The best food, amazing fast service from the runners and it's not remolded but it has a homey feeling and I appreciate that!

Food was great and the curb hops are fast and efficient .The bbq slaw is amazing,can use it on everything

Been eating here since before I could walk. Food is always good. Breakfast served all day. GET THE CHERRY LEMON SUNDROP.

Good, not great, not bad. It's very different - NOT what you think of as BBQ. I have had BBQ all over the country, and I'm a southerner who loves good Q. This was a good sandwich but I would not call it BBQ. I am happy I went and tried it, but doubt I will return.

Very good food, barbecue sandwiches as well as the burgers and hotdogs are amazing in my opinion. Really anything you get will be good. Service was great! Food came quickly and server was polite. I personally chose to eat in my car where the server comes to you but the option to eat inside is also available. Overall very good experience and would recommend!

Great ole time drive in to eat at. Their BBQ is sliced or minced pork with their special sauce/slaw. Not your typical BBQ place. Gastonia's own original BBQ sandwich. They serve HB and HD as well.
