This may be unusual but on three straight lunch meals on different days of the week I was entirely satified with the food and service. Excellent BBQ sandwich.

We went here for lunch while in Wilkesboro after receiving a recommendation and looking at Trip Advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. Even though the restaurant was packed with the lunch crowd, our service was very good and fast. The salad bar was filled with a great assortment of fresh ingredients. The BBQ was delicious! Very generous portions at a... More

OK...so after my last review I had to try again. More of the same. The service was slow. The food tasted bad. It was just overall terrible. I'm thinking that I won't be back.

We visited Tipton's Bar-B-Que on a recent visit to the area and were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the portions were huge - you will almost certainly need a "doggie bag". I had the pulled pork BBQ platter and the pork had a really good taste to it. The side dishes were tasty as well. The salad bar... More

I had never been to Tipton's, but let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! The food, 5 stars. The server, 5 stars. The restaurant was clean and we got our food (7 in our group) in a very timely manner! I highly recommend this restaurant! Trust me, you won't be let down! :-)

We usually go to the Brushy Mountain Smokehouse for BBQ, but it was a Tuesday evening and BMS is closed on Tuesday. The fries... More

Very average barbecue. Buns are mushy and cheap and can't be picked up after a bite or two. Hush Puppies seem like they are out of a frozen bag. Service was fine, but we were very surprised this was #1 on Trip Advisor in Wilkesboro. It is so extremely average I can only think that those that rate it have... More

We decided to give Tipton's a try after hearing about it on the local radio station. The portions were plenty and the kid's meal was more than enough and was the best deal for $3.99 drinks included. I ordered the BBQ sampler and the pulled pork, chicken, and ribs were really good. The only thing that I wasn't too thrilled... More

I discovered Tipton's a couple of years ago and now I try to time my travels through Wilkesboro so that I can stop in for a meal here. The barbecue is always excellent and the servings are generous. If you enjoy sweet tea like I do, then you will have another reason not to pass up an opportunity to stop... More
