Super quick lunch stop before our wild horse tour. Food came out very fast and was a nice portion to share. We got the half chicken with cornbread, mac and cheese and coleslaw. Chicken was nice and juicy! A nice last minute stop, give it a try.

We have been Whalehead property owners since 1987. Corolla BBQ is the absolutely BEST! We would never order BBQ from anyone else. Our entire family is a BIG Corolla Village BBQ fan. Our little ones just love the corn bread. Order early and your order will be ready for pickup. I have never had to wait for my order.

We stopped here for a quick bite for lunch, and WOW were we impressed! This is the best bbq pork I’ve had in a long time, and the NC Vinegar sauce was a 10/10. We are originally from Lexington NC (The BBQ capital of NC) and I’m bummed I won’t be able to stop here the next time I’m craving bbq! Can’t wait to stop by again next summer.

The ribs I ordered had the least amount of meat I've ever seen on ribs and they were WAY over cooked ($25 for a full rack was definitely not worth it).The sauce was good and the baked beans were good. Very nice atmosphere and service.

Food was great! It has an outside eating area, so if it's good weather and you're craving some good bbq this is definitely going to be the spot!

Good BBQ, the cornbread is bought from an off-site vendor (based on watching them unpack a shrink-wrapped flat of it) and is only okay. Beans are good! Expensive, but you're a captive audience that far up the beach...

Pork was extremely dry. I really wanted to like it but couldn't. Sides were good. Ambiance was fun.

The two people were so kind, friendly, helpful, and provided great customer service. Barbecue was great. I wish they had hushpuppies though :(. They also have dippin dots, which is a great option. Cool location. Cornbread was A1.

We were told this was the place to go. Unfortunately we hoped for more. Pros: Cornbread and potato salad were great! ribs were good. Cons: chicken and pork were dry.
Cold food, Mac and cheese was watery, and too much vinegar on the pork. BBQ was good still, cornbread was amazing and the candied yams were a 10/10

If we could give zero stars I would. Spent $53 on three entrees. All raw meat. See photos. I understand that a storm rolled thru and they lost their power transformer but it would have been nice to state the food could not be cooked through properly and they should have refunded the money pre paid hours in advance. Sides were meh. I make better Cole slaw and Mac n cheese.

This is the quintessential southern BBQ shack. Small menu, long line but it moves quickly. Friendly staff slinging up killer Q. The combination platter was half a chicken, half rack of fall off the bone ribs, mac and cheese, potato salad and a wedge of cornbread ($20) Everything on the plate was obviously made with love, expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches were also quite large. Definitely need to stop here for a quick but hearty lunch!

Best BBQ in OBX Prices are good Need to eat outside Classic sandwich is great and the platters with either Cole slaw or baked beans is the best Don't forget the corn bread
