Carter's Barbeque

My favorite bbq place in Polk County! I buy my BBQ Sauces here. There's a drive thru window and a walk up window. Online ordering available. Worth the trip

Placed an order Aug 14 2024 @ 11:58 am, got home to eat the slab of ribs (had a brownish color to the meat an indication to me it wasn't all the way grill, smoke or whatever you choose call it. I very dissatisfied with the order, call back with my complaint to Mr. Carter, he was not to pleasant. He stated he would refund my full order, i suggested a refund for the ribs only. He stated he would make it right and refund the full order The following day he only refunded a partial amount. I guess his word does not carry much weight? The food is not as good as expected, something has changed since my last time I have purchased from them. Will not returned. I eaten better ribs at Johnson, Plant City

The food is absolutely great. The only reason I gave the rating of 4 stars is because they didn't have smoked items prepared when I arrived. I came an hour after opening and was told smoked items would be available later on in the day. I ordered the meatloaf with mac and cheese and greens. I also had the red velvet cake for dessert. As a consolation, I was given peach cobbler on the house, which was a nice gesture. It was good, but cold, which let me know it was made a day or two prior to given. But I will give this place another go and hope to try their bbq.

I've offered here 3x via grub hub when I have had a hankering for BBq and it did not disappoint. The smoked chicken wings are excellent!

No issues ever here. Always nice and quick service. People complain about prices, but it's like that just about any restaurant you go to.

I went yesterday with my mother and ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs. The ribs smelled and tasted old. I took the ribs back up there 10 mins later after getting them home and trying them. Mr. Carter came to the window and asked me what was wrong, and I told him. I told him I did not want a refund only a different meal. His response to me was; "Okay and?! What do you want me to do about it?!" I responded with, "Can I have something else?" After multiple failed attempts and being disrespected by Mr. Carter I asked for a refund and he refused and he refused to refund me the difference if I ordered a different meal. This was my first time ordering there and it will be my LAST!

This place great if you like lousy, unfriendly service, and overpriced crap food with no flavor that is NOT bar-B-que.I ordered the special with a full slab of ribs, pork, and 4 sides. The ribs were not good quality and tough and the only flavor was the sauce(no smoky, bbq taste), the pork was dry and flavorless, the sides were ridiculous. Soggy fries, a tiny bag of hush puppies, Luke-warm collards from a can and mac and cheese that may as well have been Kraft mac-n-cheese from a box. All for the incredible price of $72. I feel like I was robbed but OK, lesson learned. Never again. For $72!

Got me fucked up. Nasty ass food. Don't ever and I mean ever sell no rib that cut up the roof of someone's mouth. Junk cut me up like Publix bread. First and last time...

Well no bathroom. Fast and good service. Had the Chicken and dressing. It was a little messy but tasty. Green beans and Collards for a $1 up charge. They should have paid me a dollar to eat the collards. Not good. Banana pudding large portion and sweet like you'd like. The sweet tea good.

We ordered our food and waited 30 minutes for it. Once we got it, the chicken was cold, the collard greens tasted canned and the macaroni and cheese tasted like noodles with cheese sprinkled on top. While we were waiting I noticed the microwave being used a lot. I don't know what they were using it for. I really used to like this place and have great memories from it. Nothing last forever I guess. I would recommend people avoid it if you can.
