R & K Barbecue

Fellow Yelper Jeremy T.'s review was pretty much spot on to my experience for lunch today. Parking is easy in front of the restaurant. Walking in, they had a steam table for the soul food selections of 4 meats and several vegetables. At another counter where the cash register is the bbq can be ordered. It took me a while to decide which way I wanted to go. Finally I decided since bbq is in the name here to try that first so I ordered a chopped beef sandwich special combo with fries and a drink for $9.25 plus tax. The food was ready in about 1-2 minutes after paying. This bothered me but the meat was very warm and the fries hot so no real complaints. The bun had a lot of meat on it and taste wise it was ok but a little chewy and I helped it with some of their bbq sauce (3). I didn't expect a Texas Monthly Top 10 quality here and I would consider ordering it again. The fries are homemade and therefore were very good. They were slightly limpy like some handcut fries can be but I still enjoyed them (4). For the money, the meal was a good value. The sandwhich was big and there were plenty of fries so I was full when leaving. I gave the meal an overall score of a 3. Like Jeremy, if I returned I would like to try the soul food. The interior is large with two separate dining rooms. Counter service was friendly and helpful. Closed on Sundays.

Greens are amazing! They are spicy but super good! Friendly mom and pop place. Got a link sandwich bun was warm and soft the sausage had a great flavor. Bbq sauce is really good.

R&K has come a long way from their humble beginnings operating out of a little trailer - kudos to them for that.The first thing I'd like to say is that there are some friendly folks working here. Maria was super nice and kindly offered us a sampling of their oxtail and also the chilly. The cook (I didn't catch his name) also came out to see what we thought about the oxtail and he was friendly fella as well.Both the oxtail and chilli were pretty delicious and if our to-go order wasn't as large as it was, we may have added on some of each of these two items. Oh well, that just means we'll have to come back again to enjoy larger portions of those.Over the past 2 recent visits, we've taken home sliced brisket, sliced chicken breast (because they ran out of the 1/2 chicken), a couple of sliced beef sandwiches, baked potato with all the trimmings plus pulled pork, potato salad, cole slaw, okra, and mac & cheese, and fries.My favorite items were probably the chopped beef sandwich and loaded potato, plus potato salad as far as side dishes go. Sadly, the sliced brisket was a little disappointing. It wasn't so tender and that was harder to mask because they sliced it pretty thick and not thin. The flavor of the sauce helped amp it up a little bit but I'm a huge fan of brisket and it didn't meet my expectations on this day.The chopped beef sandwich was a little better but still not quite as tender and juicy as I would have liked. The "overloaded" potato, however, was pretty darn good...and HUGE!! The pork topping was juicy and plentiful and the whole thing was a meal and then some in and of itself.I love the sweet & tangy balance of the potato salad and it was as creamy as I like my potato salads to be. The cole slaw, too, was crunchy and tasty enough.I wasn't a huge fan of the okra or mac & cheese but those aren't items I normally order anyway so don't want to knock them too hard because of that. They just didn't wow me but others may find them to be just fine if they usually like those items.Again, as good as the food was, the service and friendliness really impressed me even more. They also have a hot plate station packed with plenty of soul food items to choose from and they rotate the items. Check out my pics for a breakdown of what's available. I'll definitely need to try this on a return trip to R&K.

I happened to be in the area one day and always like trying new bbq places that I haven't ever been to. Any that have been around for as long as R&K must be doing something right. The interior is no frills, although they had it decorated a little since it was during the holidays.They have several "daily specials", posted on signs taped throughout the restaurant, like the pork chop sandwich, chopped beef sandwich combo and the day I came was a baked potato (no meat) special.They have a good sized menu, but I settled on the Michael Harris Sandwich which comes with fries. I added a sweet tea. I wanted to try their banana pudding, but I didn't see it placed out on the cold salad bar cart they have by the window.The sandwich was quite interesting, it's beef, sausage, red onion, pickles and mustard. They don't specify what the beef is. The cashier said it was chopped beef and I was of course assuming it was brisket, but it actually tasted like pot roast. The fries are fresh cut, so that was good...and I enjoyed the sausage slices in my sandwich. The pot roast was just okay, and unexpected. Some pieces were tender, some were on the dry side. The overall taste of the sandwich worked well, but I would likely try another item (likely soul food) if I ever came back.

Complete trash! Ordered 2 Michael Harris sandwiches, coleslaw (never received) and onion rings from this place. The order was missing a whole sandwich and the coleslaw. There were five burnt onion rings provided for an order. I will never patronize this place again and neither should anyone else who values their money. I honestly don't know why businesses like this remain open in an environment where good businesses are struggling to remain open.

I hadn't been to this place in over 4 years because I was unsatisfied with the product and service . My favorite barbecue restaurant doesn't have a drive thru and a the wait is always long so I made a big mistake a tried to give this place another chance. Yvette was at the drive thru and didn't want to be there by her attitude. I ordered 4 meat, potato salad, and beans. Which was like 17$. What a disappointment! The four slices of ham was an Oscar Myer lunchmeat ham sliced in pieces. WITH NO SMOKE FLAVOR! The 2 slices is brisket was tender and good. Then their was the 5 paper thin sausage slices. Smh. Then I received 4 pinky finger size ,tough ribs. I wrapped them in foil and put them in the oven for 1 hour on 250. But those ribs said NO!. The beans were ok..But that dog on Tater SALAD was a no! The flavor was good but most of my potatoes were raw. I couldn't smash them with my silverware from home. No need to say I want be returning.

First time grabbing lunch from here! Turkey plate with macaroni and coleslaw.. It was super delicious! Highly recommend if you are in the area. Staff wonderful!! A variety of food to choose from ! Reasonably priced as well ..

This place is amazing, food is off the chain, and the service is friendly and fast. . Everyone should try this place, the best BBQ I have in a long time.

Their fish is off the hook. Hot, fresh, well seasoned. Hate they no longer serve sides. I loved their okra and corn. Friendly staff and Ron is so gratious.

This place is very much a hole in the wall, but the food is absolute perfection! I wish it was open every day of the week! The ribs, sliced beef, and beans are my absolute favorite.
