Rock Store Bar-B-Q

I love that the reviews of this place all come from people in the Northeast.

We stopped by this place for lunch one day.  I thought it was a great counter service place with good prices and a nice simple menue.

My friend from Texas got the brisket and loves it.  He has been many times and never misses a chance to grab lunch.  I had the pulled pork sammich and bought another one on the way out.  

They make their own sauces and even bottle them for transport.  They come in plastic which helps if you are a traveler like me.   The thicker-tangy BBQ sauce was pretty tasty.  The thin vinegar based sauce isn't my style but I could really appreciate it.

You would never know that there is a gas station next door. Nice and clean little place with historic pictures of Locust on the wall.  They always have good specials during the week. My hubby loves the BBQ (they make their own sauce!) and always says it is his favorite. I (being a vegetarian) love the sides - particularly the Cucumber Salad! And the tea is so good - always important to true Southerners! As another reviewer stated, I've heard the banana pudding is good. But I'm always too full for dessert.

This is a decent BBQ restaurant in the land of BBQ, but still, I found it seemingly average.  Rockstore BBQ is in the same plaza as a gas station, so one can multitask by filling their gas tank and then filling their gut.  They have a good combo special, featuring a BBQ pork sandwich, a side and a drink for $5, which I partook in.  It's a good value, but I found the pork to be a little dry.  There is a dining area in this restaurant as well, which is also separate from the gas station.
