It is a NC wood burner. They do need to develop a sig sauce. The sides are excellent. Desserts are even decent which I can't say for many NC BBQ joints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289263.post-16193906548085016732009-07-16T19:33:37.214-04:002009-07-16T19:33:37.214-04:00I have eaten at BBQ restaurants from NC to Texas a...I have eaten at BBQ restaurants from NC to Texas and have to say that I have never tasted better tasting pork ribs, period! The food here is great overall but the ribs are spectacular. The restauarant is a throwback of sorts with down home family friendly customer service and a very loyal customer base. I could tell this as the staff called several customers by name.

From good ol' boys, construction workers, RTP folks, families, NC visitors, all races, colors, sizes and ages....all there for fine, pulled pork and all the 'fixin's. Family members greet you as a sister, cousin, distant relative just stopping by for a visit and dinner/lunch/takeout.

(That's one dish that should never be served from a steam table.) The Brunswick stew isn't up to the standard set by the other dishes (so just don't order it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289263.post-56196696742392063522009-01-11T21:51:00.000-05:002009-01-11T21:51:00.000-05:00I have to say I was underwhelmed by the BBQ there....I have to say I was underwhelmed by the BBQ there. I went off-peak, ordered BBQ, collards, cabbage and hushpuppies. Sides were great, hushpuppies were decent, a bit cakey, BBQ was, well, cold and soggy. Went again a couple weeks later, ordered a fried pork chop, much, much better. Wife ordered fried chicken, high marks as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289263.post-46411864657188282562008-12-19T18:50:00.000-05:002008-12-19T18:50:00.000-05:00It is really good bbq!
