Old Carolina Barbecue
Old Carolina Barbecue
Sliced brisket. Over cooked, cold, chewy. Opposite of all things Carolina and bbq. Very disappointing.

Nice counter service BBQ restaurant. Friendly staff, clean facility.We had the pulled pork and the brisket. Tried some hush puppies. Meat was very tender. Tried a couple of sauces until we found the one we liked. My friend liked the classic, I liked one that was sweet and spicy.

A solid BBQ joint in Altoona! Ordered take out and was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes we got, even had some for leftovers the next day! Got a mac and cheese bowl with fried onions and chicken tenders, fries and coleslaw on the side, husband ordered same with pulled pork, BBQ sauce, green beans and hush puppies on the side. Chicken and mac and cheese were delicious and filling, not a fan of the fried onions though. A few were good but they were piled on, breaded and fried with a lot of pepper. Just too much for my taste but you can order without onions which I'll do next time. We weren't impressed with the hushpuppies either, too dry but that's common as we haven't had good hush puppies since we visited the Carolinas. The green beans came with a side of pulled pork in the bottom of the cup and just a few green beans on top which was odd, almost having another serving of pulled pork. I'd skip the sides except maybe the creamy coleslaw which was good, and stick to just the main entrees, which were more than enough.

I lived in NC for 5 years and even the worst bbq joints were better quality than this. I got the sliced brisket "sandwich" With the coastal Carolina vinegar "sauce" with green beans, baked beans and a brisket taco. First, the brisket was so over cooked I couldn't even bite through it, the entire slice of meat came with the bite and it was extremely chewy, second the "sauce" just tasted like pure apple cider vinegar nothing else, The brisket taco and sides of green beans and baked beans were very lackluster as well. Isn't bbq supposed to be slow cooked and tender!? Does the owner taste the product of his restaurant? I doubt it because if he/she/they did they'd be very very disappointed. Truly a disgrace to Carolina bbq. I do NOT recommend.

Ok, just gonna say it. I hated this place. I'm not one to hate food (except for pickles) but I hated it. We got a bbq bowl and ribs. The "seasoning" "sauces" whatever you want to call it were brutal. It just tasted to me like bottled bbq sauce and they dumped and entire container of black pepper in it. Maybe it's just not my taste, idk. Normally, I would say "Oh I'll go back amd try something different" nope, not this time. If I hate their signature seasoning there is no need to try anything else.

Hubby and I tried this place after seeking out a BBQ joint....it's off the beaten path, and we never even knew it was there until we saw it on Yelp. Since we were new to this place we tried the Sampler. All of the BBQ meats were tender. Especially liked the flavor of the wings. The hush puppies were very good, but the Mac was pretty bland. Next time we'd try a different side. They had 4 different BBQ sauces to try, offering a nice variety, and they were all pretty good. Overall, a very good place and we will definitely return.

Am leery of bbq in eastern states and this place doesn't improve my opinion. I ordered delivery brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Brisket is more like dried roast beef, pulled pork was also dry and ribs were ok. As for the side's hush puppies and corn bread basically blah with no taste, fries were good

We had pulled chicken and sliced brisket for our family Christmas Eve meal. It was excellent. Great service and very friendly when we ordered over the phone. We called a week before Christmas Eve and were thrilled they could take our order. We'll definitely use them again!

I had the ribs - which were very good. I took home a pulled pork not in the bun (so the bun wouldn't be soggy) I had it the next day and it was so good.
