Parking:
Redneck BBQ Lab has limited parking along the front of the restaurant that is shared with the gas station, including labeled handicap parking spots that are right in front of the main doors. In addition to this parking, there are some spots along the edge of the parking lot and a few additional spots along the gas station side.
Entry:
Redneck BBQ Lab has a pull to enter door with a flat entry and flat flooring. As you enter the door, menus can be found on the right-hand side of the entryway, leading you along the outside windows of the restaurant toward the ordering counter. Menus are also available online or on the walls above the ordering counter. Order counter is lower, making it accessible for many. Once you place your order, orders are picked up at the end of the counter, however, staff is typically on-hand if assistance is needed for getting the tray to your selected seat.
Braille Menus are available, just ask! Redneck BBQ Lab also offers online ordering with an additional option of picking up via the drive-thru window located on the side of the building.
Seating:
There are a few seating options here, including high-tops, booths and tables with pull-out chairs. There is additional seating through two pull to enter doors toward the gas station side.
Restroom Facilities:
Upon entering the building, you'll see a hallway on the right. At the very end of this hallway is the restroom. The restroom door opens with a push and has a turn handle (not a knob). A note on the door requests that you knock before entering, as the door needs a firm push from the inside to lock completely.
Inside, the lock requires you to turn the push button and give the door a moderate push. You'll find a changing table and three grab bars located on the left side of the toilet for convenience. The restroom leaves room inside for a moderately sized mobility device, but the hallway to the restroom is very narrow.
Menu Highlights:
Some of our favorites are the Brunswick stew, chocked full of meat and vegetables with just a little kick, a perfect addition to any meal or to warm you up on a cold day!
We are also huge fans of the chicken salad. Creamy and full of Redneck BBQ Labs BBQ chicken. Get it piled high on a sandwich or take a pint to go on your way to the beach!
Yes, we realized both of the highlights have nothing to do with the BBQ. From brisket to ribs and everything in between choose your favorite meat, add a side of jalapeno mac and cheese and settle in for some of the best BBQ around!
