Troutmans Barbecue

Reviews & Tips

  Greasy.  Interior looks like a flea market, an out of date flea market.  The only reason you should go here is if you MUST have BBQ and are too lazy to drive ANYWHERE else.

  There are several Troutman's Barbecues in North Carolina, several around the Concord/Kannapolis area, but I don't think they're connected to this one. This is indeed a barbecue joint, inside and outside, and around back you'll find some real barbecue producing pits.
  
  The barbecue is tender, moist, with a nice smokiness, increasingly rare these days.  The sauce here is a varation of the Lexington type sauces, but it is much thicker, and I always ask that my order not be sauced in the kitchen, and I'll add what is needed, and some is generally needed - this works fine for me. The slaw here is a red barbecue one, and it is excellent.
  
  The hush puppies are nice, crunchy out, tender inside, not too sweet.  The fries are ok, the hot dog is simply terrible. The burgers are good. They serve BBQ Chicken on weekend's, but I've never tried it. The Banana Pudding is really good.
  
  Place is worth a visit if your in the area. I don't head out the door with this barbecue joint as my destination, but if I come by, I'll grab a sandwich on the run.

  Troutmans, was started some 40 years ago by Pee Wee Troutman. Pee Wee got started at Tarlton's BBQ in Lexington, then went to Denton to open his own.Now his children run the place.I think they still may have curb service,
  not sure. They serve breakfast but the Q is what people come for. Chopped or sliced your choice, trays or plates pretty good meal. On the weekend's BBQ Chicken is served,good salad bar to. They have deal's through the week on cheese burgers or breakfast sandwiches. There always a crowd there, that;s a good sign.
