Southern Coals Restaurant

Southern Coals is our favorite BBQ place in Fayetteville. The food is always amazing, the people are friendly, and the whole vibe is relaxing and pleasant. This Saturday, went in for the cheese fries with brisket--the MOST BESTEST tastiness ever. So abundant, we took half home. Unfortunately... I was so focused on boxing up brisket, I left my cell phone on the table. And discovered it Sunday... while they are closed. I emailed them, and Ashley got right back to me, took the time to come in on her day off and let me get my phone. So, great meats, and the kindest people you'll ever meet. Thanks!

First time visiting and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and the meat was very dry and chewy. It lacked moisture and tenderness, which is disappointing because pulled pork should be juicy and easy to bite through. Even with the sauce on the side, it didn’t make up for the texture. The bread was nicely toasted, and the presentation looked decent, but the quality of the pork just didn’t meet expectations. I was really hoping for flavorful, slow-cooked, fall-apart meat — but this missed the mark.

Horrible experience. Workers had friends blasting music in the parking lot with megaphones. Unfriendly. Payed $30 dollars for two meals and was still hungry after. Food was bland and dry. Unacceptable. Extremely disappointed and regretful I even thought of coming. Never again.

Tried Southern Coals on our way home from Myrtle Beach (about 10 miles off 95 I think)... we liked it. Ribs and smoked chicken breast Very Good. BBQ was just OK. Sides broccoli salad, onion rings and fries very good too. Their breads are awful! Hushpuppies would be better!!! Also order at counter and fix your own beverage and they bring food to you. Icing on the cake was Strawberry Cheesecake from bakery next door💕

Ordered 2pc Sasuage with okra and onion rings and the half rack of ribs with okra and potato salad. Food came out in 10 minutes. The fried foods tasted great and were hot, the ribs and sausage were just slightly above lukewarm. Good flavor to the sausage, but I would've rather had freshly cooked sausage. Ribs were dry as well. Tried to order beer but were told no one working tonight was able to handle the beer, meaning they all were under 21. Also, there is a poor girl walking around with a boot on her foot carrying tables. Should've at least had her wash dishes instead of potentially worsening her injury.
