The waitress came right out and took my order. She was friendly and treated me like I was important. ( Thank you for that young lady) ,anyway my BBQ sandwich was amazing today and of course my cherry lemon sundrop was refreshing.

The barbecue & the hamburger both tasted different from how they used to. They were ok, but not great. The booth was tight fitting & uncomfortable. The sweet tea was delicious. The employees were all very friendly and polite.

I had my 1st ROs sliced bbq sandwich over 30 years ago and always make a point to stop by when I make it back to Gastonia. The taste and quality, not to mention the portion sizes, have remained top notch!

We always order at the food truck in Dallas at the handy pantry. Usually it's excellent but today it was dry and hardly any slaw. It was ok but disappointed.

Although Charlotte is where I lay my head, my hometown is Dallas, NC and Gastonia is where my people are from. It's a little strange I've not mentioned RO's barbecue before. My mom & dad ate here when they were dating in high school and my grandparents were enjoying the BBQ before then. We grew up with the onion rings, the hush puppies, and of course the Cherry Lemon Sun-Drops served fountain-style with that soft crushed ice you can't get just anywhere. When a relative or old friend returns home, a stop at RO's is sure to be on the agenda. Here very recently, RO's has shifted from minced and sliced pork sandwiches to all "pulled pork" offerings which I am told are from a more tender and juicy cut, the Boston Butt. Judging from the sandwich I just polished off, the new cut delivers on both points; It was indeed TENDER and JUICY. RO's isn't it cheap however, a barbecue sandwich, onion rings, and a drink will set you back just south of 12 bucks. But that's a price folks around here are somehow still willing to pay. Top marks for flavor, service (car hop style), hometown realness, and a heavy dose of nostalgia. Pull in and have a taste. You'll be hooked on the slaw from the first bite!
