We decided to eat at Carolina Ribs on the Run based on previous reviews on TripAdvisor. All the reviews were right on! It's a great little restaurant with a great pulled pork sandwich. It's a large sandwich with... More

This place has amazing pulled pork! I prefer the hickory bbq sauce or the golden bbq sauce (mustard based). My parents have gotten the ribs and they fall off the bone. Very tender and tasty. If you are super hungry get the pulled pork plate - there is more meat on it than I could ever eat in one sitting,... More

A must go-to restaurant in the area. We learned of it through word-of-mouth. Everything about it was great. The food was excellent and the service was fast. It appears to be mostly take out food but there are a few tables to sit at. My only negative comment about it is that they stated that they recently raised their rates... More

We stopped by for the first time on Mother's Day after going to The Lazy 5 Ranch for the day. Only one man was working the entire restaurant when we went in and he did a great job. We had pulled pork sandwiches, our sons got the ribs and pulled pork plate. You get to choose what sauce you prefer... More

We were in town for a soccer tournament and I was tipped off to Carolina Ribs on the Run by a neighbor's father in-law who lives in Statesville. I was able to get just about 20 people to agree to make the drive. I called Randy and asked if he could accomodate the party and he assured me he could.... More

Carolina Ribs on the Run is what it's name says. Fast, friendly, and delicious foods. The ribs and BBQ are hands down the best BBQ I've ever had, second to my mother's of course. They offer different choices/combos and they even provide coupons via mail, and special offers for being friends with them on Facebook. A half rack of ribs,... More

This drop in restaurant has great ribs and pulled pork. First visit the owner apologized that his vendor who delivers the ribs had arrived at 3pm that day and it was too late for him to have time to slow cook the ribs for the evening rush. We had the pulled pork instead and the portion size was BIG! The... More
