The Old Hampton BBQ in Linville, NC offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere with delicious Southern fare. Their fried okra is a must-try, crispy and flavorful. The live music adds to the charm, creating a lively dining experience perfect for enjoying authentic BBQ flavors with a side of entertainment.

Neat building / space but not really a BBQ restaurant.The atmosphere is great but I've never been to a self touted BBQ restaurant that only had shredded pork and chicken.The food is pricey and it's pretty generic.It's totally self service and that even includes returning your pint glasses to the bar.The only bright spot was the bartenders. They were pros. But the bar layout is pretty horrible and there is no service bar so you can't get a bev without reaching over another patron (while getting uncomfortably close and begging for a disaster) while navigating boxes on the floor behind the bar stools.The wings didn't have any smoke flavor and the rub was dull. The sliders were three Hawaiian rolls with a bit of meat and apple butter and that amounted to 4$ each. Crazy.A BASKET OF FRIED OKRA WAS $8.99"Sourdough" didn't much seem to be sourdough.There were Steamer pans on top of a light fixture presumably catching water from a roof leak.Overall, massive disappointment. Won't be back.

Great little store! Great atmosphere. Cute little shop. Good food, kind and friendly staff. Great place to get a quick bite and hear some live music and get a few gifts.

We were craving bbq after a nice long hike, this hit the spot! Fast, friendly, and the food was fantastic! My husband decided to try the smoked chicken salad plate (mac & cheese) and while I went with the pulled pork plate (collard greens & fries) along with a basket of fried okra! It was all great! We were able to sit out side with our furry sidekick and still hear and enjoy the live music from inside. Great atmosphere! We will be back!

Cool little bar! They have good craft beer and good cocktails! They also serve dinner which you must try if you are in the area. Every Thursday night they have live music outside weather permitting. They always have Music Inside too. Nice area, there's a couple other stores with local Pottery (lots) and artwork!

Stopped here for lunch with the family during vacation. The atmosphere and live music were excellent, definitely 5 stars for that part of the experience.As for the BBQ part, menu options were limited to pulled pork or chicken, which was a bit disappointing since we came here looking for brisket. But both were very tasty along with the fried okra and potato salad. The sauce bar was great too, nice vinegar based Carolina bbq sauce. It’s self serve for a lot of things which I prefer since you don’t have to wait for a waiter/waitress. Seating was a bit limited. I’d say the place is somewhere between a roadside stand and a full blown restaurant.Great gift shop in the store itself was nice and the art shop next door is definitely worth checking out.

A spectacular BBQ restaurant and general store that should be on everyone’s North Carolina BBQ bucket list! The pulled pork is top notch and don’t miss the smoked chicken salad! All the sides were delicious including the house made Brunswick stew. They have live music on weekends and you may even see a little Cloggin’! Highly recommend!!

Old Hampton Store caters to all ages with its outdoor/indoor music venue, great comfort food, old country store and unique art gallery! Whether enjoying great music over lunch or meeting friends for a cocktail or beer, you will enjoy the experience. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. We always try to visit here when in the area

Food was good but expensive. But you also get to see and hear some great music groups. Which make it a great value.

Great history lesson with a lunch period included.Had lunch during a rain storm, entertained by some local talent.The hush puppies were awesome, and their craft beer selection was representing their local brewers.I had the BBQ sandwich that had a great smoke favor but over powered by the thick fluffy bun. No slaw was offered!Not a fan of the 2 house sauces offered by the server. The spicy vinegar was ok, the other was like a Kansas City sauce.Wonderful place to visit whilein the mountains.

Stopped in for dinner based on Google reviews, the food did not disappoint. The BBQ is very good and didn't need any sauce at all. Sides were on point. I am so glad we found this place on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere has a laid back vibe and everyone is quite friendly..

I love this place for its antiquated building. This restaurant is located away from any hustle and bustle. The menu is southern comfort food offering bbq pulled pork and smoked chicken. I had the smoked pork plate with bbq style baked beans and fresh homemade potato salad which all were delicious. They've got fried okra, green beans, collards, mac and cheese, cole slaw and a variety of other choices. This is not a full service establishment. You give your order at the counter, pay and you fill and refill your drink. There's indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. They advertise live music here as well and there is a quaint bar area that appears to offer spirits and brews. They sell jams and honey and some souvenirs as well.

Very nice place and food. I had a pulled pork plate with coleslaw and fries. Pork and salad were delicious! My children also liked their hot dogs. After eating we seated in the back. Really nice and quiet.

We had such a great time...who would have thought it would be so on a Thursday night! Beer was delicious, I really liked the velvet panda by Kettel. Music and the table company were better than expected.

Great food. Good music. Great people. This was an accidental find on our way back from Boone. It is like a old time family reunion/pig picking for BBQ enthusiasts. Well done and served quick. Order in the line. Wait for your food to pop up, grab a table inside or out. Next time, and there will be one or more, I will try the pork rinds made on site with their homemade pimento cheese.

Cool place to hang out on a weekend night for live music and a few beers. The bbq was solid, too. I think they still wood smoke their meat, too

I can't really rate it. Because I did not eat there. But it was a long line waiting for food. Usually a good sign. Plenty of seating inside and out. In addition there are about 10 seats that wrap around a little bar area. It's a nice lil shop up front. Souvenirs and local stuff

Visited here last weekend and had lunch with the kids. The line didn't take too long and the food was delicious! The bbq sandwich had a nice flavor to it. Sat outside but could still enjoy the music being played indoors. We'll come back for sure!

We was really excited to try this place. And was let down hard. We ordered several things off the menu they was very pricey and the only thing I would recommend is the fries and Mac and cheese. My husband ordered wings, after a while they came and told us they was out. No problem just refund it, no she didn't wanna do that. And to top everything else there was long black hairs under my chicken salad. We seen the bad reviews we assumed they was just harsh people, no listen to the bad reviews.

The food was delicious. You can sit either inside or out, but they've got live music playing up on stage. When we went, they had a couple of older country singers up there. Best experience I have ever had in a restaurant.

Very good bbq. The greens were great. Normally mac and cheese is mid at bbq places but theirs was A+. They also sell beer, wine and liquor which is nice.
