The service was good and the food was awesome as well. A good place to eat if you are in the area. Make sure you are hungry though because the portions are bigger than most.

Woah-oh, China Grove! We stopped in for a late lunch and had no wait time whatsoever. Even after we ordered, it was less than 5 mins for our food to arrive. Everything was fresh other than the hush puppies, which still had good flavor. The chopped BBQ was moist and flavorful even without sauce. The "white" slaw was not sweet (which IMO is the way it's supposed to be) and delicious in combo with the BBQ. Hubs 1/2 slab of ribs was a hunk of the most tender meat, and the yeast roll was so sweet and irresistibly soft. We were in and out of there in 30 mins and happily stuffed. Menu is extensive! Worth a detour off 85 to get your country cookin' fix.

I liked the food a little more than Gary's down the road, which puts me in the minority I guess, from looking at the overall rating for each, but that's why you can't always go by the ratings, and this is one of those times where it paid off (for me at least).I just got a small BBQ tray. Nothing special. It was solid/decent. Hush puppies were kinda old, but had good flavor. What brought everything up to 4 stars was the epic customer service I received, and I'm a funny lookin weirdo kinda guy, so my server's southern hospitality was on point and sharp as a razor. I was called hon, sugar and sweet pea within the first 7 minutes of being there. Later on she followed up with darlin' and I even got a nice pat on the back. Felt like my momma, like I was her first born son. Legendary.

Try the ranch! Nobody beats porkys for a Carolina style BBQ sand-which. Same great atmosphere and food for the last 20 years. Always great service.

DISGUSTING! The only thing they having going for them is the hush puppies. I ordered chicken salad, there were pickles in the chicken salad, too much. It tasted like relish and mayo. I tried the grill chicken, it was super peppery and half uncooked. Disgusting. The waitress, new, was sweet and tried to fix the disaster. The entire restaurant needs a make over desperately. Dingy.

I was born and raised on pulled pork bbq and I recommend Porky's to everyone who visits.You will love the classic vinegar bbq with juicy pulled pork and all the fixin's! There's even a fresh salad bar for those in the crowd who don't want meat.It's a family friendly diner ya'll!

My family has dined at Porkys for many years. Last night my husband and I stopped in for supper. We each got a one trip salad bar and a Sunday Special. While we were at the salad bar our food came out. I ate my food so it wouldnt get cold and was going to take my salad home. The lady waiting on us said I could not take my salad home. I would have understood this had I got the all you can eat but I got the one trip and in the past have always been able to take my purchases home. I asked her if this was a new thing and she said No it even says it on the menu. This is ridiculous that I could not take my leftovers home after paying for them. For many years I have gotten good service but last night was just too much.
