The Wood Box BBQ Restaurant

Came here with friends on a Saturday day trip to Elkin from Winston-Salem. They were here for the BBQ and I was here for the hot dog (and kinda the BBQ). When we were arrived we were the only folks there and we had our choice of seating. There isn't tons of seating inside, maybe room for 50 total. We took a seat in the smaller room on the left.The server came quickly to drop off menus and get drink orders. Maybe not completely necessary to mention, but their sweet tea here is good and not overly sweet. The menu is a little more diverse than you'd expect at a BBQ place. Lots of good options. We ordered buffalo chips with ranch to start. They arrived hot and crispy. These were probably my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a hot dog with the special side of the day (buttered corn) and was sharing a 1/4 rack of ribs and mac and cheese with friends. The server had to make sure they had ribs ready. They did.The food for the table came out and my hot dog and corn was dropped off. The ribs were "on their way." A group of 11 came in and the servers started to focus on them. The hot dog was good. A classic NC red dog that had a little crinkle/wrinkle to it which I like to see cause I know they are well-cooked. Toppings were ok. Seemed like they were stingy with the chili (see pic for evidence). The corn was bad - barely warm, watering, and lacked flavor.We had finished our meal and the ribs hadn't come out of the kitchen. We waited and waited. Eventually catching the server's attention. The kitchen hadn't seen the ribs on the ticket. They apologized, took it off the bill, and would get it to us quickly.The rib plate came out. I was going to ask for one of their signature sauces but the plate was dropped and the server headed away quickly. Ribs were great - well smoked and tasty. Definitely would have loved to try their sauces. The mac and cheese was mediocre. barely warm and you guessed it, lacked flavor. Some highs and lows from Wood Box but I'd probably go back and try some of their other items.

Haven't been here in a while. They've redone the interior and I'm about to order a variety of food so I'm excited.Last time I was here was probably five years ago and we were pretty disappointed and we haven't been back we're locals but and it is a good news kind of but today was outstanding. We ordered the rib plate and I ordered a half a smoked chicken with macaroni and cheese coleslaw and beans is the sides and we killed it. We polished it off. The hush puppies themselves were even great .We are definitely adding this place back on our list of places to go to very impressed

Nice people, Buffalo chips were good, beans were fantastic and I'm not a fan!, the brisket wasn't great, the pork was good, the bbq slaw was good, hush puppies were very good.

And i pass this place everyday practically. The serving size is big and i do like the flavors. The BBQ sauce does have a vinegar taste to it so if you are someone who likes a sweeter sauce then this one may not be for you. Overall, a good local alternative.

Was heading to Theo's for Italian, but it was closed, so we decided to try this place. My husband had the chopped plate, and I had the sliced. The meat was AMAZING!!! Sauces were flavorful, baked beans delicious and seasonal veggies, super yummy! My husband enjoyed the okra and mac n cheese with his....both were good...but again, meat was AMAZING!!

The best BBQ I've had in a long while. Great price, great service, and absolutely delicious. We were passing through and decided to stop by and we are so glad we did. Thanks for everything!

My brother and I found this place on our way back to CLT after hiking Stone Mountain. We enjoyed everything from Shyann's friendly and attentive service to the tasty home made hot bbq sauce. We both had chopped bbq plates with fresh cut fries and hush puppies and both plates were completely cleaned off. Now that we've found this place, we'll make it our post hike meal!

The ribs w/potato salad and baked beans were excellent. Grabbed it to go but staff was really friendly while waiting for the order.

This is always pure down home goodness. We now plan to stop here everytime we go by this route. It feels like walking into a friend's home. Everyone is friendly, and the food is always great. When we left last time I grabbed a bag of the chitlins for the road...best ever. Not greasy, tasty seasoning, ...I made it a plan to get some next visit. To my surprise and delight, they made them fresh. Also recommended trying vinegar on them. Great...just like on English chips!!Oh, for my meal, a half smoked chicken with their crispy coleslaw and hush puppies is a really tasty entree....

Just plain good old fashioned, no frills BBQ! My kind of place! Not the best I've ever eaten, but, I sure have eaten WAY WORSE! Also has plenty of of choices for those not in a BBQ pork mood. Great service also!
