Rib Country-Hayesville - Barbecue restaurant in Hayesville - 580 NC-69, USA

3 stars because my fries were inedible because they were hard and stale. Server was friendly and when the chicken was forgotten on the plate, she had a new one cooked and took 10%off the bill. That was thoughtful. Hubby said his food was barely warm. The beans were good and my turkey was generous and good. We had to wait 12 mins to get seated when they weren't busy at all, so not sure why.

From out of state… wanted to try this BBQ place. Waited to be seated for awhile which is fine, but tables were open. Quite a few tables had dirty dishes on them. Got our food and the 1/2 rack of ribs two of us ordered had Very little meat on them… fries were cool to the touch & taste. It was an experience, but hard to get drink refills or plates taken away… dessert brownie was very hard & chewy. The chicken tenders were good so there is a plus. A bit of a disappointment altogether to say the least for the prices you pay. That’s our take~

Used to go to Rib County from time to time on Sundays several years ago but this was the first time in recent years. This location specifically is where I would go. On this day, it was way past lunch, before dinner. Food was good, not great. I had the turkey sandwich. The baked potato (seen in the photos) looked like it had been under the lamp for a while, but I get it, they were in between service times. It's a good spot for some after-church comfort food. It delivers for exactly what it is. Good BBQ type fare with a good amount of servings. Service was good

I would be embarrassed to bring a plate like this to the table and tell the customer it’s a 1/2 rack of ribs!! 4 ribs IS NOT a half rack!!! Birthday 1/2 rack.. that’s what the email says… I guess the old saying…Nothing is Free definitely applies here!!!!!! Very disappointed… don’t think I’ll go back for my next birthday!!

Everything was fine except the food. I got their shrimps and ribs for like 23 bucks, but the ribs were dry. They were very small in size. The baked beans looked like they would be good, but were burnt all to hell. The brisket was ok. Overall, none of us liked the food. Maybe it was because we went on a Wednesday 🤷‍♂️ Service was ok.

If you're looking for great BBQ, this is the spot. The brisket was cooked to perfection. We received free cookies with our meal on Tuesday, and the service was fantastic. I'm excited to visit one of their other locations here soon.

Bathroom was so dirty. My girlfriend told the hostess it was dirty and she said men’s or women’s, REALLY. We waited over thirty minutes for food that was barely warm and wasn’t to sure my brisket was actually brisket. The waitress not sure it was her first day but she knew nothing, except your food will be out shortly and there was only two tables with people. I haven’t eaten there before and the food and service was good and I was embarrassed taking our good friends there last nite after telling them how good it was last April. Sorry but will never go again.

We love barbecue and were excited to try this place just 3 days ago. When we walked in, we stood waiting to be seated for almost 10 full minutes. And to clarify we were the only ones waiting. There were tables clearly open and available, but the two teenage girls working didn't acknowledge our existence. Not a 'hi, will be right with you', nothing. Each even came up to the hostess kiosk twice to return menus, still not saying a word. Finally one sat us. As plusses, the food was good and served quickly. We were sat close to the kitchen and it was obvious from watching the interaction between the servers and the kitchen staff who kept coming out, that the entire establishment is being run by 17-year-olds. I will say the one who served us was actually very cheerful once we were seated. But the other had a permanent sour expression and spent the entire time pacing back and forth looking irritated. After reading all the other reviews on service from this place, I'm not sure what the management thinks happens when this is how customers are treated (?).
