The food was great as I remember it being when I was growing up. Delicious bbq chicken, chopped bbq. The hush puppies are amazing. The lemon meringue pie is the best. The service was friendly, helpful and speedy. The atmosphere was the same as I remember.

This was a day for an excellent chicken sandwich and maybe a great hot dog, so Mr. Barbecue it was! If you are still alive and kicking in the restaurant business after more than 60 years, there is no doubt you are doing much right, and they definitely are here - pork bbq, fried chicken, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches,typical BBQ joint sides, and more.They still cook their pork over "the finest Hickory wood" and this is very good Western NC barbecue, and I consider it as good as any in WS, and like all in the area it lacks any really smokiness.But today, I wanted 2 other items they do very, very well , so I ordered the chicken sandwich and a hot dog. This is not gourmet food, but I grew up on it, and I still feast on it! And here, today I did just that!The hot dog is solid, the very tasty chili is piled on, more so than any other dog in the area, much like that at Zack's in Burlington. The wiener is of a Nathan's, and the bun is soft and flavorful - this is a good hot dog - the price is $4.25!The Fried Chicken Sandwich ($7.95) is very well sized, in the 10 ounce range, nicely battered and perfectly fried. This sandwich is among the very best in the area, chain or local! And the size makes it a value item, even at this price, for me it's two meals.

Been here a few times and the place is always clean and the staff are great. Today I ordered the wing and would suggest to order them extra crispy. The flavor was good but the skin soft and fatty.

Walking into Mr Barbecue, I realized I have watched the movie "Spaceballs" one too many times in my life. Though I didn't voice it to anyone, after placing my order, I was internally saying things like "Time to fill up Mr. Tea, let's add Mr. Hot Sauce" or "I always have barbecue before I watch radar! You know that! Everybody knows that!"My own personal strangeness aside, Mr. Barbecue is a Winston-Salem institution. Unfortunately, several years ago, a fire burnt their building to the ground. They have since rebuilt a fresh modern spot, but with plenty of that "we've been here awhile" flair. Inside, the people are friendly, and the vibe is perfectly North Carolina BBQ. You order at the counter, and if dining in, they bring your food out to you. You'll also get your own drinks. No issue there at all, honestly, wish more places just did this instead of having waiter service.I'm watching my carb intake and trying to have more protein and vegetables, so I ordered a chopped BBQ salad. Unknowingly, this came with hushpuppies, a plus indeed but I did my best to just have a few to taste. The salad itself, was a really nice size, and loaded with meat. Perfect. The ingredients all appeared fresh, as you might assume, salad is not a priority at a BBQ restaurant, so even though basic... I appreciate crisp veggies.For the Q itself, as I said, great portion. In general, I thought it was a good representation of Lexington NC style Q. It didn't blow my mind, and I did need to help boost the flavor with a little hot sauce. Importantly though, the meat was juicy with an excellent mouth feel. Just needed more seasonings and smoke. Hushpuppies were good, they don't compare to my favorites in the area, but that is a lofty bar.Overall. I would come back here. Maybe when I am not feeling quite so health conscious, I'd like to have more of a typical BBQ meal. I can see why this place has a lot of fans. Thanks Mr. Barbecue!

I was recently the beneficiary of an offer I couldn't refuse. You see, there is a Nigerian prince and he offered me 15 million bucks... Ha. Nope.For seriously, I was able to attend a retirement party that was overloaded with tasty, tasty meat and sides from Mr. Barbeque. I didn't expect much because it had been years since I had anything from Mr. Barbeque, and the last time I went there, I had chicken. The chicken was good, but the memories are foggy, and I vaguely remember it.So this time, I got a nice helping of bbq and hush puppies and green beans. Though I had some nice table-mates - stimulating conversationalist types - I walked away for a second helping. Then, when all/most of the conversating was completed (and nobody was looking), I found a container and took some home, where lo-and-behold, my wife heaped high praises on the food that I so amazingly provided. I didn't lie. I told the truth about the provision of the vittles. "Tweren't me" says I.Still, I experienced a hero's welcome. What an auspicious day that I shall long remember.Oh yeah, and the hush puppies are super tasty, crispy, and infinitely edible. The green beans had diced toe-mah-ters in them. Very good.Can't say anything about the service since I wasn't there to purchase the food and the location was outside of Mr. Barbeque's venue. I don't know who this Mister Barbeque is, but I want to shake his hand.

Excellent fried chicken and bbq slaw, the green beans arent my thing though. Brisket can be dry at times but the pork is always good, ask for the sauce on the side

Despite doing through Winston for years, this was my first time visiting Mr. Barbecue, and it did NOT disappoint! (My son, who lived in Winston for years, swears they are best BBQ joint in NC.)I had the brisket tray with red slaw and hush puppies, with unsweet tea - a true Carolina tradition. The barbecue is Lexington style, and the brisket was tender and delicious. The red slaw is a favorite of mine, too. If you're local, or just passing through, it's well worth a visit!

Mr. BBQ is the BBQ by which I judge all others.But to be honest the main reason I come is for the Banana pudding . I have never been that the staff behind the counter was anything other than exemplary . Always friendly . Always helpful Plan on $15-20 per person if you are going to get a plate with sides, drink and small (" regular") dessert . So it's not Taco Bell pricing --but it does carry Pepsi products ( YAY!) AND Cheerwine .

We got a pound of chopped BBQ . And half quart of slaw. We ask for chopped and brown side not coarsed and not minced or fine chopped. And it was exactly what we wanted. Great flavor smoky taste and texture was perfect. We also love their fried chicken too! It Is just like grandma made.
