Bad Wolf Bar-B-Q

The food is quite good, but not tremendous. The atmosphere, however, leaves much to be desired. It’s time to update!

Feeding extended family tonight. We got the «feeds8» family pack… it feeds eight nicely. The BBQ is great. The beans are very tasty and the cole slaw was super fresh. Cole slaw is one of those things that is either good or bad — no in between. Bad Wolfs is always good.

This is a great option for cheap, good barbeque. The pulled pork is good but not smoky and you can get your choice of sweet or carolina sauce. One drawback, if you don’t like the smell of cigarette smoke, is that the adjoining bar is open to the dining room, and there are folks smoking in there. That’s why three stars. Otherwise would be four stars.

Considering Roanoke is a southern town, you would think it would have a good selection of bar-​b-​que places. With the exception of a chain place, this is one of the few we have.
The physical building won’t knock you over with glamor, but it serves its purpose. The food however is very good. There is a cheap (under 10 bucks) all you can eat Buffett on Friday nights that should fill your bar-​b-​que needs. They have both sweet an NC style pork to choose from and they both have a nice, slow cooked flavor. They also have a selection of different home style veggies and sweets. I can’t say their fodd is healthy, but I can say I left feeling very full, very happy and a tad bit drunk.
All in all, a great Friday night dinner in the R O A.
