16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Knightdale

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but after visiting Prime, I just had to let others know. First, the restaurant was clean and beautiful inside and out. The staff was friendly and attentive. The line to order was out the door. I guess that should have been my first clue that the service and food was going to be out of this world. They offered cold water to us while we waited in line. This was me and my family’s first time trying this restaurant and they were so patient and answered all our questions on meat and the best options. (Yes, we were those people holding up the line. Sorry!) The young men cutting and preparing the meat were knowledgeable and super nice. I ended up purchasing several items (Brisket, Ribs, House Made Sausage, and Turkey Breast). All I can say is if you are within 100 miles of this place you must make the trip! Your stomach will love you for it!“

“I think Smithfield’s is highly underrated. Where else can you get the same quality food as fast and at this price point? It’s a tough find.

My girlfriend and I can split a Combo-dark and be FULL for $13.

The pork is solid. (Honestly better than a lot of the mom & pop bbq joints around these days charging double) The fried chicken is crispy and tender, the Brunswick stew is like a veggie with a bonus side of meat, and I love their old-school shoestring fries. The hush puppies are a little on the sweet side for my taste but they are consistent and well cooked.

Add to that the crazy good service and it’s a no-brainer. They bring refills to the table and take the plates when you are done. Real food, faster than McDonalds, with almost diner level service, still at fast food prices (or better depending on the fast food). What’s not to like?“

“Really enjoyed the brisket nachos- solid flavor everytime. The quesadillas are huge! We also ordered the guac this time (usually go for the chips & queso) and while it tasted fresh it was missing the heat factor I’m used to. Be aware- there are no open restrooms! When we asked where we could wash hands/ change our baby’s diaper we were told to go across the street to the public park restrooms.“

“They have amazing karaoke every Saturday night!“

“Delicious Best food ever Awesome customer service Thanks so much“

“City Barbecue delivers on its promise of real, slow-smoked meats and classic Southern sides. I tried the brisket and pulled pork—both were juicy, flavorful, and had a great bark. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted freshly made.“
