This barbecue spot is so nastalgic, prices are EXTREMLY AFFORDABLE, a the food came Out so fast!! The best waitress ever. So sweet and polite. The older crowd here just makes me so proud to be a southern Tar Heel! We got the best setup you can if your trying one of each from out of town. We now live in california and this stop was a MUST for Me And my son. !! Sundrop, sweet tea, pulled pork sandwhich, vinegar sauce, red slaw, fried bologna sandwhich, footlong all the way, hush puppie and onion rings.
Their pulled pork is just right. Prices are reasonable, and I love the "curb service" instead of drive through. The servers are prompt and polite also.
Patty melts, foot-longs, and cherry lemon sundrops. What more could a gal want? I know my friend is gonna pick a delicious spot and I'm so glad she chose to bring us here. Everything about this meal was a 12/10 and the place has so much character!
I read and looked at the Yelp before going. I was... Well, alarmed when I saw their they seemed up serve Kraft Mac and cheese, which of course my parents and I ordered with our BBQ tray just to verify, and yes, they do Not gonna lie, I love Kraft, so I didn't mind, BUT whatttt an abomination for a down home, BBQ place not to make their own Mac! VERY curious as to the reason why.. But hey, at least you know what you're getting if you research before eating? Also - no greens on the menu?!? Three of us shared 2 BBQ platters - with 2 red slaws, the Kraft Mac, fries, onion rings, the three hush puppies each. The BBQ was good, I liked the slaw too! Hush puppies were very strange honestly, very corn mealy and crumbly - the crust was so.. Like a strange crispy with the dryness. Super super greasy though!
