This place is a hidden gem (well not to the locals…)!!! We were passing through and took a shot and we are so glad we did. Everything was amazing…down to the sweet tea and ranch dipping sauce (bbq sauce was very good too according to my husband). I got the bbq and chicken finger plate & my husband got the bbq and popcorn shrimp plate. SO yummy and good size portions. We left very full and wishing we had room for pie or cake. Will be back when close!Also it was cool to see on their wall that Obama had eaten there!

I can't speak highly enough of this place. The food is great! Closest thing you can find to home cooking. Everything I've gotten has been good.

In the area hiking, and on the way back home, decided to stop at one of the local establishments to join an early dinner and some small town cooking. They have plenty of seating and the menu has lots and lots or choices. The prices are very affordable and the sides were plenty to choice from. We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and Thursday’s special (meatloaf). All the food was fresh, tasted great and the food came out immediately. Our server was Sabrina and she was absolutely amazing. If you’re in the area absolutely want some good home cooking food then look no further. Countryside Barbecue is the spot for a delicious meal at a very affordable price. Can’t wait to come back and try the Friday Country fried steak and BBQ Ribs.

Countryside is a local business with well-worn seating and is a popular restaurant. The variety of food they serve is surprising and the food is tasty. We don't go often because it's nearly an hour from us, but we like to eat there when we can.

Friends took us here for dinner, what a gem of a BarBQ restaurant in Marion NC. Great service (servers & staff work together to make sure everything is good), atmosphere and food. You can get sandwiches, daily specials and dinners all day here. Our table had 1/2 rack of smoked pork BarBQ ribs (dry rubbed with yummy sauce on the side) with 2 sides $15.99 incredible hush puppies, thick beef brisket sandwich served with coleslaw $8.99, grilled chicken tender salad (huge), coffee and scrumptious strawberry Shortcake $5. Loved it. Highly recommend.

The best food I have enjoyed recently. I stopped in for the BBQ, and it was tender and full of flavor. Obviously prepared by folks that know bbq. Delicious sides also. But there was even more I'd like to try. Going to be returning again soon.

This is my second time eating here. My family and I ate here again on Valentine's Day (a very busy day, to say the least) a little after 5. It was somewhat packed, but there were plenty of tables left. Our waitress was so very nice and doing such an amazing job despite having so many more people coming in. The entire staff was helping each other bring out food, engage with the tables, etc. Each staff member that came by our table, helped with any request that I had, and that I passed by to use the restroom was super nice.We all ordered some BBQ, chicken, and sides. Everything but the chicken was amazing. I wasn't a fan of the chicken as it was dry. I am sorry. The other meats were super tender and wonderful without a doubt. I love their BBQ sauces and sides. I highly recommend the pasta salad, macaroni & cheese, hushpuppies, sweet potato fries, and home fries. I haven't gotten around to trying the other side items right yet, but I'm certain they are just as wonderful. I love their ranch! And don't get me started on the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake + Ice Cream. Oh my gosh! Talk about addicting!I absolutely love this little gem in Marion. And I applaud the entire restaurant on how hard they worked on V-Day as by the time we were done with dinner, there were no more tables available, and people were actually standing in line to be seated. Great job and service!
