My mother is 77 years old and grew up in Texas and Alabama. She is a lifelong lover of the types of food this exceptional restaurant serves, and when she insisted that we go there as soon as possible so I could experience how great it was, I thought I was prepared for what was bound to be a fantastic taste treat--but it turned out I was NOT completely prepared to be as blown away as I was. From the heavenly aroma inside to the incredibly phenomenal food, BBQ & Ribs Co. is simply a must-visit for anyone with even a passing fancy for barbecue, either vinegar-based or tomato-based.\r \r If you can believe it, this place is run by the group that owns Hardee's in this area, the Boddie-Noell Enterprise group in Rocky Mount. Hardee's has really stepped up their game in the last couple of years, but this place is in a league of excellence that few others could ever hope to attain. Both eastern and western BBQ are absolutely brilliant--clean, perfectly textured, and loaded with flavor. Sauces are fantastic, and every side dish I tried was a delight. I didn't have the ribs, but I from what I saw, and for how quickly and completely they were consumed, I'm sure they're also great. \r \r The interior is clean and functional, and the service was prompt and competent. But MAN--WHAT barbecue!! Run, don't walk. You'll be a believer after the first bite. Thanks, Boddie-Noell! Please open one in North Raleigh! Pros: Absolutely amazing barbecue and sides Cons: Eventually you get so full you can't eat any more more

Close to downtown, easy parking, never a line or a wait. Yummy food that's reasonably priced in a clean, pleasant environment.

We didn't know it was there but were driving down St. Mary's street in Raleigh and smelled the BBQ on the pit. It wasn't even meal time but everyone in the car shouted at the same time....""let's go there"".\r \r It smelled even better on the inside. My dad grew up in Wilson and my mom is from Lexington so we're a house divided when it comes to bbq but this place has both kinds, chopped and sliced and both my parents said that it was the best they've ever had.\r \r We go back everytime they're in town and my friends from work and I go for lunch at least twice a week. We've eaten almost everything on the menu and there's not aloser in the bunch. Pros: Eastern and Western style bbq and all the trimmings, great fried chicken and catfish too Cons: hard to find but just follow the smoke more

I am a girl from the Midwest who said she would never like bbq from the south. Well, this place changed my mind. My job brought in the catering for a meeting and I was really impressed.

We were raised around family who cooked hogs every fall and we've done it like they did for years. Potatoes, corn, cabbage, and collards were all coming out of the field the same time of year so there were plenty of fresh cooked vegetables to go with the pork.\r \r The first time, and every time since, that we ate food at BBQ and Ribs, my wife and I agree that it's just like being back on the farm. It's obvious to us and most all of our friends that these folks make their food from scratch and their hog is as good as any I've ever cooked.\r \r We always take home a quart of their banana pudding every time we go.......I swear it's better than my mother used to make.\r \r If you love, want, need and demand fresh cooked, real deal BBQ and fixins, you got to go to this place. Pros: real food, fast, friendly service Cons: line out the door some lunches more

WOW! The BBQ is great and that sauce. You have got to try it. The portions are heaping. And, they make all of their side dishes from scratch in the kitchen. Eat in or take out, this is one of my new favorites. Pros: Best BBQ anywhere Cons: Didn't save room for dessert more

If you haven't been to BBQ & Ribs Co., try it - you'll definitely add it to your list of favorites. Pros: Sliced BBQ, variety, crispy Southern fried chicken more

The vegetables are the real deal; home-grown and home-made. You would think your very own mawmaw was in the kitchen. The potato salad would win any contest. My husband always pigs out on the ribs, but I go for the salad, greens and beans. And the banana pudding (if you have room) is worth the trip in itself. Add an ice cold beer, no losers here!!! Pros: Variety, cold beer, extremely clean Cons: A good ways from where we live; need more locations. more

I went to BBQ & Ribs for the first time two weeks ago, and have been back 6 times! The food is outstanding. If you are a BBQ lover, this is your place.
