Inside Hendrix Barbecue
Hendrix Barbecue in Spencer, NC, offers a straightforward, down-to-earth dining experience where classic barbecue and hearty breakfast dishes share the spotlight. Located on Salisbury Avenue, this spot draws a steady local crowd, including families and travelers passing through, who appreciate generous portions and familiar Southern flavors.
The atmosphere inside is casual and friendly, with a no-frills setup that feels like a community staple rather than a trendy eatery. Service tends to be upbeat and welcoming, often delivered by a young, motivated team, making it easy to settle in for a relaxed meal. For visitors who find themselves caught in less-than-ideal weather, the drive-thru option is a practical bonus, allowing for a quick, hassle-free stop without leaving the car.

But breakfast offerings are equally notable, featuring regional favorites like egg and grits, French toast, and country ham and eggs on a biscuit. Burgers also have a loyal following, especially the double bacon cheeseburger, which locals say holds its own alongside the barbecue staples. Portions tend to be hearty, matching the down-home Southern vibe.
Families often make the most of the value here, benefitting from deals such as three kids’ meals free with every adult entrée, making it a practical spot for those visiting with children.
