| - OK folks in Pineville, Indian Land, and Fort Mill, we got us a real bonified BBQ joint here! We need to step up and support Elwoods because we only have this and 521 BBQ that serve BBQ this good! I have to admit I was somewhat leary about going there because I had called ahead and they do not havr chopped BBQ and to me, that is a North Carolina staple. We did however have coupons for a free BBQ sandwich out of the ValPak envelope everyone in our neighborhood gets in the mail and, by God, I was not gonna let a FREE BBQ sandwich go to waste!
The restaurant is so clean and modern looking and yet feels friendls. You place your order at a counter when you come in and they are all so friendly & helpful! I wanted to substitute french fries for their JoJo potato wedges and they said no problemo! You can see all the food being cooked right there behind the counter, it was cool! You then get your own drinks and condiments and find yourself a table. They bring your food to ya and the ladies are always refiilling your drinks and they bring you complimentary cornbread while you wait. We did not really like the crnbread. It was dry and way too sweet, almost like a cake. My Mom said if you put icing on it it would be a great birthday cake! Not what I want my cornbread to taste like.
Now for the food. The pulled pork was spectactular, especially for these parts. It had a deep smokey flavor and was pulled fined and almost looked like chopped BBQ. The bun my sandwich came on was so fresh and had to be made locally and it just melted in your mouth! Muy Delicioso!! We all shared a chicken dinner too and it was so good! They fry all the foods in peanut oil and that always gives foods a nice crisp, crunch. The hushpuppies were good but once again a little too sweet for us. We are more used to an oniony, more cornbready pup. They did however give ya alot of them for two bucks. The fries are another story though. I was so devastated because they were so greasy and very limp. I like mine crispy and soft inside. These are not those kind of fries and I LOVE good fries! I can only hope they'll go to a more traditional crispy fry to accentuate the BBQ! Other sides they serve are hashbrown casserole, mac-n-cheese, baked beans, collard greens, cole slaw, onion rings, and those aforementioned JoJo potato wedges I saw another person with one of their Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and it looked delicious and boy was it HUGE. It looked worth the 7.99 they are charging for it!
That leads me to my last topic, prices. We found them to be somewhat high. I don't spend 10 dollars at lunch often and it looks like that is easily what you'd have to spend for lunch. All the side orders are 2 bucks a pop and drinks are 1.79. Small order of ribs 10.99, large- 18.99. half chicken order- 8.99 BBQ plate-8.99 beef brisket-8.99pulled BBQ chicken-8.29 Create your owm burger-5.59 create your own Doulbe Don(?) burger- 6.59
So that's Elwoods according to our visit. Well definitely going back. We only wish we could afford to eat there more. Bottom line. it's good BBQ and that's enough for me!
