Luella’s Bar-B-QueB

501 Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC 28804 · Barbecue restaurant, Caterer, Restaurant · North Asheville

Counter-service Carolina-style barbecue with standout wings, hush puppies, and sauces; solid value for trays, but consistency and wait times vary.

The verdict

Luella's Bar-B-Que delivers solid neighborhood barbecue with strong food quality anchored by standout wings and hush puppies, supported by friendly, helpful counter service. However, inconsistent execution on temperature and brisket quality across visits, combined with notable peak-time delays, prevents the higher grade. Family-friendly portions and distinct sauces make it a reliable casual choice, though not among the region's premier barbecue destinations.

One caveat: Temperature inconsistency: some trays arrived lukewarm; watch busy periods
