From Soda Shoppe to Smokehouse
Royall's BBQ & Grill calls a historic downtown Elkin building home — one that's fed this community for generations, just in a very different way now.
Royall's BBQ & Grill | Our Story
128 West Main Has Always Fed People
This brick building on West Main Street has been a drugstore and a soda shoppe — a true community gathering spot. We kept that purpose alive; we just swapped fountain drinks for pit-smoked barbecue.
Honest Food, Nothing Fussy
Slow-smoked brisket and pulled pork anchor our menu, alongside fresh smash burgers, Carolina hotdogs, hush puppies, and our signature Mac-Stacks. We cook food we're proud to eat ourselves.
Not Your Typical BBQ Joint
Big storefront windows flood our dining room with natural light, and exposed brick ties the space to its downtown roots. Come in, get comfortable, and stay a while.
Elkin Made Us a Staple
Regulars, families, and road-trippers all come through our doors — we were even featured on Tasty Travels With Travis Frye and named Best New Business 2025. The best endorsement, though, is the folks who show up week after week.
