mr barbecue

i loved the actually retro feel of the paper wrapper the barbecue sandwich came in even before i dug into the sandwich itself. the wrapper proclaims that mr. barbecue is “genuine hickory wood bar-b-q” and i could taste that wood smoke in the chopped pork – not overpowering but agoodhit of smoke. of course, i went with slaw on my sandwich and the cold and slightly tangy red slaw contrasted the warm pork as as classic chopped pork sandwich should. and the freshly fried hush puppies were great as well. just a damn fine nc barbecue meal.

we were in the area bringing our son back for his final year of college. my husband loves quaint spots and found this one through a google search for best restaurants in the area. the meals we had were amazing. every side was delicious and authentic. the ribs were "fall off the bone" and the fried chicken was fabulous. we plan to tell everyone about this little gem. if you lovegoodque, fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, string beans and hush puppies, you have to make it a point to visit this place!

prettygoodpig here. this little place serves some prettygoodlexington style bbq most of the time, at least equal to little richard's (the one on country club), and hill's lexington on patterson, when it is agoodday for the 'cue. there is a consistency problem with the chopped pork bbq here - when it is good, it is very, very good, and when it is not as good, well, it is not as good, but i've yet to send anything back.

the fried chicken is excellent, and the hot dogs are among the best served in the city that wachovia abandoned. the bbq chicken, on the other hand, is simply fowl, messed about - bird should have stayed an egg. the fries and the slaw are nice, and adequately fill their roles. the deserts seem popular, but my experience is you are better served with a snickers.

the ordering systems is chaotic at peak times, and is not dissimilar to the scrums that can develop at nyc deli's likes katz, but endeavour to pesevere, or come early - both work.

good barbecue at agoodprice. this is one of the better values around for a barbecue dinner. the taste isn't bad, though not the best barbecue i have ever eaten.goodsouthern home-style menu including fried chicken, popcorn shrimp, and flounder, in addition to the barbecue offerings. barbecue ribs cost a bit more. cakes, pies, cobblers and banana pudding for dessert. friendly service. they even cater.
