Thanks to everyone for coming out on this rainy day to support ROs BBQ we are now officially closed for the evening because we're out of bread. On a positive note our slaw and pimento cheese will still be available for purchase in the grocery stores.

To our Community & Customers,
After nearly 80 years of serving our neighbors, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our restaurant operations on December 27, 2025.
This extremely difficult decision was reached after much careful consideration. It was necessitated by a combination of current and sustained economic factors that have made continued operation challenging.
Since 1946, our unwavering commitment has been to provide a dining experience defined by exceptional product quality and dedicated service at a fair value. We truly wish we could have continued to be a community staple for generations to come.

We extend our most sincere gratitude to every customer who has walked through our doors over the last eight decades. Your patronage and support have meant the world to us, and your loyalty is deeply appreciated. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives, your family traditions, and your memories.

While we are saying goodbye to our restaurant and mobile units, we are pleased to share some positive news: our beloved slaw and pimento cheese products will continue to be available in surrounding retail stores!
We see this as a chance to grow this side of our business and hope to serve you even more in the coming years through these retail partnerships. Please look for our products on the shelves of your favorite local grocers.
As for the restaurant, who knows what the future may hold. Until then, we look forward to remaining connected through our retail products and the memories we’ve shared.
