When you drive by this restaurant the smell lures you in. Unfortunately the taste was not good. The ribs were difficult to chew. Our son ordered the pork sandwich and that was very good. I have never returned and do not plan to.

The first time I ordered ribs here they were the best I'd ever eaten and I couldn't wait to return. The last few times we've ordered from here, the ribs were too undercooked to eat - and we've also had them so over cooked and dried out, they were difficult to chew. There just doesn't seem to be any consistency... More

the menu is not as large as we thought it would be.more side dishes and dessert are needed. We all had pork sandwiches. Not bad.

Pick anything off the menu. You will not be disappointed! The CBus is HUGE! Great to go and walk over to Barley Mow for a craft beer!

This place has been around for a while and I had wanted to try it. It relocated nearer my home and I had a restaurant.com certificate, so I found the opportunity. I knew in advance that it would not be my favorite eastern NC-style BBQ. I ordered a pound each of chopped pork and beef and planned to add my... More

I've carried out ribs 4 times. The last time the ribs were overcooked and very dry. Friends have had the same experience

Some of the best BBQ joints I have ever been to are little shacks. So, I decided to stop by to pick some up on my way home. That was a mistake. I got the ribs and chopped pork combo. The first thing that struck me was the sauce. It didn't look like BBQ sauce. It was some weird shade... More

This place used to be awesome. Went on weekend this last time and the ribs were all fatty, service was poor it took awhile for anyone to even tend to us. Ordered a full rack like usual and ate a few there didn't even take the rest home. Hopefully, just hit them on a bad day. I used to love... More
