Acceptable - Bon's BBQ, Carrboro (Now reborn as Bon's Home Cooking)

Bon's has good Southern roots. The owner is the daughter of Mama Dip.

The original restaurant was a storefront in a strip mall in Carrboro. The place was neat, with framed family pictures covering several walls.

The food was acceptable. At lunch, there were four medium sized hushpuppies for a single. Fairly good, but not the heaps that I get elsewhere. The bbq sandwich was okay, with no real spiciness or negative tones. The sides were mundane.

UPDATE - After closing for some months, Bon's is reborn as Bon's Home Cookin in University Square on Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill NC. A review is forthcoming.

I hear that the restaurant will re-open downtown chapel hill on Franklin Street this fall. Hopefully the menu will increase the portions and the zest. I hear that the owner is a vegetarian. I also see that they had the highest cleanthliness rating from the county at 115.

Bon's Home Cookin is one of my favorite places to eat. With fresh veggies and great portions, it is the place to be! I also love the new location and the fried green tomatoes

Bon's servers are great but when I went to eat there, Bon herself was very rude. She was making rude comments about her employees and made me feel uncomfortable. The food is good but not worth the fussing you have to hear from the owner!

BON'S IS MY FAMILY'S FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT. THE NEW LOCATION IS GREAT AND SO IS THE SERVICE. THE PORTIONS ARE PLENTYFUL AND IT DOESN'T BREAK YOUR POCKETS, LIKE HER MOTHER'S PLACE! I GO THERE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK.
