Family Ties BBQ & Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Greensboro

I'm staying at a near RV park and had a bad jones for some good barbecue. I'm so glad I found this place and lives up to the comments I read before coming here. The ribs have a great smoke ring and cooked perfectly, not overcooked like so many places. I tried them first without the sauce, the flavor was excellent, savory and smoky. Of course I had to try the sauce, had a nice tang & spiciness, but not too hot so it doesn't overpower the meat. The collards, mac & cheese, and cornbread were all very good and have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow . The service was great and the owner was very friendly. He even told me the type of wood he uses to smoke but I'm not giving away his trade secrets LOL. Do yourself a favor...

Well, let's start with while the table was wobbling around on us, the TV was playing nasty nasty stuff singing about p*55ies and junk. Only the cook/owner guy was kinda nice for the fleeting moment we saw him. Now the food... The fried items were ok at best. The toast isn't toasted, it's straight from the loaf, and limp. The cole slaw had a hint of alcohol fermented taste, we could not eat it.. The sweet tea tasted God awful. I ordered water, and had to pay for a bottled water. The ranch was cheap tasting. For the tiny bit of bad food we got, I want my $30 bucks back. The wings, they were pretty good, but I couldn't enjoy them because the ranch was terrible lol. Oh well,...

We had the best meal at Family Ties BBQ! The brisket was expertly smoked with the right amount of smoke and spices. It was tender and flavorful. Their sauce is a beautiful balance between vinegar and sweet. The wings both lemon pepper and sweet Thai were delicious left us wanting more! The fried okra was top 4 best we’ve had. Everything about Family Ties is a lovely little spot in downtown Greensboro where you feel like family and the food reflects a pride in serving amazing food with smile and love for others. It’s a must if you love small town businesses and love supporting families! Thank you for making Father’s Day’s lunch memorable...
