North Carolina BBQ Tour | Eating at Four of the best NC BBQ restaurants
North Carolina is famous for its BBQ. So we decided to hit up the whole state to try the best it has to offer! the North Carolina Barbecue scene is famous for its whole hog BBQ, and Eastern Carolina vinegar based sauce. The focus in North Carolina BBQ is pork, both great ribs and pulled pork. Often times the pulled pork is chopped, and slathered with their vinegar based sauce. In this video we mainly chowed down on pulled pork platters, pulled pork sandwiches and ribs! One of the marks of a great BBQ spot is amazing sides...all of these restaurants deliver that as well. Some of our favorites included the bacon wrapped jalapeno at Midwood, and the Cheese Pimento Balls at The Pit. Of course you can never go wrong with Mac N Cheese either!
00:00 Midwood Smokehouse - Charlotte, North Carolina

You need to go to the smoke pit in Concord NC and ask for extra BBQ you will freak out how good and fresh it is there is a stock market right next door with a butcher and they use the meat straight from there lol the best BBQ I've ever had

If you go to Wilm. again, try Jackson’s Big Oak BBQ. It’s where the locals go. Smithfield’s is good too, great place. When in Raleigh again, try Ole Time BBQ. I choose there over The Pit because of true authenticity over hype. Add both to your lists.

@@AdamandMadalyn Jacksons is where the locals used to go. No longer the case. Skip it and go to Casey's Buffett, it doesn't look like much, but it's good southern cooking.
My wife's collegiate home town, Charlotte! Haven't had as much BBQ there, but Bubba's BBQ was spectacular.

Yep, you nailed it with the whole hog in eastern NC.. 'everything but the squeal' as they say :| Lauren and I are both from NC and we think it's the best BBQ on the planet. Props for getting the brunswick stew, love it! Totally agree The Pit is soooo good! Also if you're ever in Wilson, check out Parkers BBQ if you haven't yet. Great video guys!

Thanks for the suggestion! We go to North Carolina every few years and absolutely love the whole state. We've hit up other spots in the past like Lexingtons. Looked up Parkers on Yelp and bookmarked it. Looks up our alley. Next time were in NC we want to go to the Outer Banks so maybe we could swing through. I do think NC does the best pulled pork in the planet!

Check out Prime Barbecue in Knightdale, NC. You will not be disappointed.
All those places looked very commercial. Really nice places for a family to eat but I think y’all lost essence of Carolina bbq. Skylight, B’s, and Gradys would have really captured eastern Carolina bbq.

It’s against the law if you don’t put the slaw on the bbq sandwich 👍🏻
Loved the video but you said topsail beach wrong. Trust me. Lived in Jacksonville and said topsail beach and was immediately corrected. It's pronounced Top-sul beach.
You guys don’t hit any decent BBQ restaurants. First of all the best of eastern or western BBq isn’t found in big cities. It’s the smaller joints in both side of the state
In reality, these places wouldn't make the top 20 ...
