We ordered a to go meal for 8 people. When we arrived the staff were warm and friendly. The food was ready on time and the order was accurate. So grateful for the attention to detail.

Having never been to an Old Carolina Barbecue Company before, we took a chance on this one because we happened to be in the area. We ordered the sampler figuring it was enough for a light lunch for two of us (it was!).Service:Nothing wrong with the service. It's typical for a place like this and just fine. Nothing extraordinary or special but friendly and helpful. Nice staff here. Ambiance: The place was clean. Not a lot of people early afternoon but quiet and comfortable all around. Food:The sampler comes with pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, ribs, and wings along with two sides (we got onion straws and creamy coleslaw). The pulled chicken (which I typically don't like) was pretty good. It wasn't overly dry (as pulled chicken usually is) and much better then expected. The pulled pork was really good without sauce and tasted much like "pit pig" we had in Hawaii. Very nice. Both the ribs and the wings were great without sauce at all. The wings were utterly phenomenal without any sauce--and that's saying something! I would go back for either of these (but especially the wings) anytime!The brisket was a disappointment. Nothing wrong with the flavor but it was way too dry. So not terrible, but not a favorite either. The onion straws were good. I typically need onion rings and the like "well done" for gastric reasons. I forgot to say something and yet these came out perfect. No issues at all. And the coleslaw (something my husband normally can't stand) was good enough that he almost didn't leave any for me. It may be some of the best creamy coleslaw I've had in years.Impressions:I'll go back when I'm in the mood and in the area. The sampler was a good choice to see what I might focus on next time with merely a 2- or 3-meat plate. Ribs and wings for sure, not so much the brisket. And coleslaw, yes!

Absolutely fantastic BBQ. My new "go to" place when visiting Orrville. I was there for lunch and ordered the 2 meat combo which included 2 sides for $15. I had the pulled pork and smoked wings as my 2 meats as well as mac & cheese and vinegar cole slaw as my sides. They have a BBQ sauce station located near the fountain area where you can get different types of sauces including hot & spicy. The fountain drinks are not the large cola manufacturers. Instead they feature Cheerywine beverages, iced teas and other soft drinks. The pulled pork was phenomenal. Smoked low and slow and perfectly shredded. I would say it was the best restaurant pulled pork I've had. Competition grade. The smoked wings were also the best. Extra crispy flat and tender smoky inside. Added some spicy hot sauce and it was great. Didn't have room for my cornbread, but really liked the other sides. Be sure you're hungry when you arrive. You won't be when you leave.

I ate here a few times YEARS ago and always thought it was "meh". Not great, not bad...pretty average. About two weeks ago I was hungry for BBQ, and with limited options in the 'ville, I hit up Old Carolina. I don't know what changed, but it's SO GOOD now. The portions are huge- we got the sliders (they did not skimp on the meat), a Brisket meal (had some leftover for lunch the next day), burger, and a few kids meals. I also appreciate the "fair fries".

This place was recommended and wow--it exceeded all expectations. The brisket is among the best I've had in years, including well-known bbq restaurants in the South-- tender, juicy, and full,of flavor. Love the variety of sauces and the sides are great too! We will be back!

I had the 2 meat platter. Ribs and pulled pork. Pork was great, ribs were good. Service was fast and easy. Order at the counter and food was out quick. Ambiance was pleasant. Was able to sit by the fire and it put out some welcome heat. I will come back
