Bar-B-Que House

Hands down best homemade country cooked meal I’ve had in a long time! Great family environment! Family owned feel and great service! Didn’t even take 5 minutes to get our food! Tender pulled pork and fantastic collard greens! The fried okra is probably the best I’ve ever had! If you’re close to oak island it’s worth the trip!!!

Yum, yum, yum! I love this place! Bar-​B-​Que House has the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The barbeque is also so great. The service is always top notch. I have never eaten in — it’s always been to go, but still so good! They offer two kinds of sauces, as well as that honey/​cinnamon butter for the redneck donuts. So good. Now i want fried chicken!

Best BBQ in Southport and Oak Island! Don’t bother with any other place. The sauce is amazing as are the ribs, Mac n cheese, baked beans, and Cole slaw are the best! I have tried almost all the other places and nothing stands up to this BBQ.

Great BBQ. Always stop here when I’m down at Oak Island. Can be pretty busy and tough to get a seat right away during the summer, but it’s worth it. Great prices as well.

Great food! Love their pulled pork and ribs with the Lexington sauce! Great sides too, including baked beans, potato salad and yummy hush puppies. My favorite place to eat on the island!

A great little BBQ restaurant on Oak Island. The décor is traditional, about what you expect from a BBQ place. The booths where comfortable and well appointed with all the necessities. The wait staff was very friendly, pleasant and attentive (they earned slightly more than a 20% tip from me).
My wife and I both had the small pulled pork plates. I had sweet potato fries and fried ocra for sides, my wife had the slaw and grilled corn on the cob. Both plates came with hush puppies. The small plates were more than enough food for us. Only the really big eaters will need the medium or large plates.
The pulled pork, slaw, sweet potato fries and ocra were excellent. My wife didn’t care for the grilled corn on the cob, noting that it was too buttery for her taste.
If you’re a BBQ lover or just looking for a nice casual place to eat I highly recommend Oak Island BBQ House.

Always good service and great BBQ. We go there every week for our BBQ fix. The ribs are great also.

Good Barbecue. We got the pulled pork plate with fries and slaw. We tried both the red and white and they were good. The best sauce was the spicy house. Went there for lunch and they were not crowded since it is off season. Service was not spectacular. Lunch specials come with a drink which we were not offered after we ordered water when we were seated. Barbecue is not as good as at Southport Smokehouse, but it is worth a visit if you are in the area.

We stopped here on our first night in Oak Island after what was a very long five hour drive with a toddler. I had called prior to getting there to be able to get take out to take back to our hotel. When I called in the staff was fabulous and help me make decisions based on the top selling items so I didn’t have to think. The highlights of the food were the chopped pork, the macaroni and cheese which was absolutely delicious, and the banana pudding. I will definitely be going back for more banana pudding before we head back home. This will definitely be a spot we return to. Ps get the banana pudding. It is addicting. I’m still thinking about it…

Holy Moly… Okay, I know I said this about Southport BBQ, but last trip to Oak Island, we ate at BAR-​B-​QUE HOUSE three times!!! This BBQ IS OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. In addition to scrumptious sides, red slaw, traditional white slaw, corn fritters, beans, THE BRUNSWICK STEW HERE IS THE BEST EVER. We brought two quarts of it home to NJ… It wasn’t enough … I could eat the Brunswick Stew for the rest of my life… Pulled pork and chicken, Lima beans, peas, corn, tomatoes… all of the right stuff and the flavoring is outstanding, some peppery undertones — a hint of smoke from the BBQ, wow, DELICIOUS. The pulled pork and ribs are perfect and the hush puppies with honey, cinnamon butter will make you a fan even if you aren’t a hush puppy nutter… Like we all are! BAR-​B-​QUE HOUSE ROCKS, YUMMY

The last time that I visited Oak Island this place was too crowded to try so I was excited to try it out this time! Let’s start this review off with the amazing BBQ that you smell once you walk through the door, it got my tastebuds going.
I decided to get the small chopped BBQ pork plate with mac-​n-​cheese, baked beans and white slaw while boyfriend got the medium chopped BBQ plate with fried okra and sweet potato fries. The hushpuppies came with a cinnamon butter dipping sauce which was good but I will stick to my butter and ketchup mixture, do not knock it until you try it. I thought that everything tasted great, the mac-​n-​cheese was mediocre to me though. As far the sauces go, they offer 5 different sauces that range from Mustard to Eastern. I went with the House since I like sweeter sauces.
Oh yeah, check-​in and you get $ 5 off $ 25. So, why not have dessert?! I was not expecting anything phenomenal, it was a decent piece of Key Lime pie. If you are craving barbecue in the OKI area, try this place out.

As a BBQ lover I feel I am highly critical of all bbq I come across. This was the best dang bbq I have ever eaten! It was so good for dinner my husband and I went back for lunch and got some Togo to take back to VA. The meat is smoked to perfection and good on its own. They also have 6 different bbq sauces to choose from. We really liked the Spicy House dressing. The hush puppies were also very good. I cannot wait until my next trip to Oak Island!

Let’s start off with service. The service is the best I have had in a long time. I never once had to ask for a refill on my drink. She was so pleasant and nice explaining the items on the menu.
I enjoy the several different sauces available. The hush puppies are the best I have ever had and wish I had more room for them. I could go on and on about this place but you’ll need to try it for you self.

This was authentic barbeque! There isn’t anything fancy about it. Styrofoam cups, plastic silverware, and limited seating. But if you can overlook the aesthetics you will have some of the best barbeque around. My southern fried chicken sandwich was excellent. The rest of my party had pork, chicken, and ribs. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

Amazing BBQ. Very reasonably priced. A three meat platter is enough for two people to share. Ribs were meaty quarter racks was four bones. Plenty for
One normal sized person. It was so good we went back for lunch the next day.

I’m a sucker for good BBQ. I try it everywhere I go, and being in North Carolina I would be remiss not to swing into this place. It doesn’t jump out at you as a barbecue joint from the outside, but as soon as you step through those front doors you’re overwhelmed with that savory barbecue aroma. I had the big daddy plate with dark meat chicken and barbecue pork. The meat was absolutely fall-​off-​the-​bone delicious, and the house BBQ sauce is excellent. I love a sweet smoky sauce and these folks deliver. They also have three other sauces to choose from at each table. I highly recommend the spicy house sauce. It is PERFECT.
On the side I had the homemade mac and cheese and corn on the cob. The mac and cheese was terrific but the corn was fried and came out greasy and flavorless. Still, by the time I got to it I was damn near stuffed. And hush puppies. If you can’t make a good hushpuppy in the south you’re going under. These were some of the best I have ever had!
The service was good without being outstanding, but the servers were attentive and happy and seemed genuinely pleased to be there.
Overall, this place was incredible. One of the best on the island. We will definitely be back!

Really good food. I went with three other people and we all got the pulled pork plate (medium, the large was way too much food). The sides we got were the sweet potato fries, fried corn on the cob, baked beans, and Brunswick stew. All were very tasty. That being said, the food should only be part of the reason you go there; the REAL reason you go there is for the impeccable service. Our waitress was super-​friendly, kept all of our drinks filled, and checked on us regularly. All the other staff had great attitudes, as well, which makes me think they enjoy working there.
Highly recommended.

BEST place I’ve been to on Oak Island!!! Great BBQ, hush puppies are amazing with the honey butter! Mac and Cheese and fried okra are great too. Friendly staff and fast service! We will be back VERY soon!

BBQ House is a must for all of our trips to Oak Island. We love the food and service and have recommended it to other tourists. Great BBQ, corn nuggets, white slaw and hush puppies. I still highly recommend this combination.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. Our drinks were quickly refilled and when our waitress Jenny was helping another table, our drinks were refilled by a different waitress. The service is worth eating in the restaurant.
Unfortunately, I wanted to experiment and try the fried chicken. It is made freshly so there is a 20 minute wait after ordering. It was the driest fried chicken I have ever had. It tasted like grocery store fried chicken after it had been sitting under the heat lamps all day. Although, the dog really enjoyed the left-​overs.
Stick to the BBQ and you will really enjoy your trip.

I did some Unilocal research trying to find a place to check out in OKI while on vacay. Bar-​B-​Que House is what I decided on and man… it exceeded my expectations.
It is hard to forget the smokey flavor of that pulled pork and how perfectly it combined with the red slaw on my barbecue sandwich. I really appreciated that this place has several different sauces to choose from. It has a sauce for everyone’s taste. I used the sweet bbq sauce on my sandwich and for my fries. The sweet tea was immaculate.
Yes, the inside is a little small and no it’s not the most attractive environment to look at. To be honest, when I want some authentic NC hickory smoked BBQ, I’m not worried about all the things like the décor, layout, building/​parking lot size. My expectation is good bbq, good service, and a clean kitchen, and BBQ house delivered.
