I have to defend this establishment! I grew up eating Troutman's BBQ and every time my family brings me down to visit we eat at Troutman's at least twice. Because it's outrageously cheap and probably not nourishing at all, but eating and loving Troutmans BBQ is part of living in Concord. Where else can you get a $2.75 fried chicken sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce!? I'm sorry, I look foward to that greasy goodness with a side of fried okra and fried squash every chance I get (ok, which isn't often...like 4 times a year!).
My husband was raised outside Concord and was appalled that such "crap food" (as he calls it) could be one of my favorite places to visit. I also happened to have my baby shower there, and my wedding shower because they have lovely meeting rooms in the back of the restaurant with yummy catered food.
There are probably better places to eat good BBQ in NC, but for $3/tray? Probably not. It's cheap, yes. But it's worth it, I love eating there!
