I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now! I've had many many bbq places and this one didn't disappoint! Excellent food and excellent sauces. They even had apple sauce for our 6 month old! The people there were super nice and the food came out really quick! We will be back to try more of what they have to offer!
Hannah's BBQ in Lenoir has the best BBQ. I have been trying to eat healthier lately, so I get a vegetable plate, which is $7!! On this plate, I get a baked sweet potato (really good, they give you butter and cinnamon and brown sugar on the side), baked beans (the beans do have a little BBQ in them), and their delicious crinkle cut French fries. (I know these are not good for healthy eating, but I just have these maybe once a month.). They have other sides such as corn on the cob and baked potatoes. Their bbq is good, and their sweet mild sauce is really good. The sweet tea is terrific!! I usually don't get dessert because I'm so full from the vegetable plate, but they do have good desserts. Their lemonade is absolutely wonderful! This is where all the locals eat, so if you are passing through, stop at Hannah's. They are open Tuesday through Saturday.
This place is one of the last remaining good bbq that doesn't cut corners they just make good 'ol smoked Q. The coleslaw is a little zippy it's the perfect compliment to the pulled pork. The pickles are perfect. Hush puppies tender and crispy! Never had a bad plate from here. Have driven many hours for Hannah's before, and will do it again!
This is exactly what a BBQ stand should be! The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! Our 2yo daughter dropped a toy under the booth and the waitress brought out a broom to help dig it out and was laughing with us over it. Down home at it's finest.
Visited 10.22.25 with Dad for a late lunch. Small local BBQ joint. Dad had pulled pork sammich & onion rings. I had sliced beef sammich & potato salad. All was very good & good value. Service was great! Previous visit I had country style ribs which were excellent. Will visit again!
Awesome food! My favorite place to eat! The people who work there have been there forever & are the nicest people.
I was actually really surprised with Hannah’s! Lenoir isn’t exactly known for BBQ, but Hannah’s makes sure you have some delicious food. I had the Buffalo chicken carolina salad and it was awesome. Loaded with juicy, flavorful chicken and the salad was amazing. Dad had ribs and they give you a GENEROUS portion! They were so tasty and falling off the bone. The ribs don’t look like much from the photo but don’t judge it because the taste is awesome! Will definitely be back and highly recommend them!
