“We finally made our way to the BBQ Warehouse. We were warmly welcome and given a tour of the menu. For our meats, we chose brisket, chicken, turkey, and sausage. We also added burnt ends! After sampling the sides, we decided on yams, greens, beans, and coleslaw. We added corn bread, too.
I can't say what we liked the best because we all had different favorites for different reasons. However, we all agreed that the burnt end is a must.“

“The BBQ was amazing and the baked beans followed suit. The cornbread was disgusting, but friends said the sweet potato muffin was great. That being said the older gentleman behind the counter needs to learn how to speak to people like an adult. You could have walked up to us and asked us to turn the car off. It would not have been a problem as we talked longer than expected. Instead he threw furniture around the patio like a toddler and screamed turn it off. Not a good look, communication is key.“

Corner Boys BBQ Food Trucks • $$
2201 S Wilmington St, Raleigh

“Apparently the food is good but I wouldn’t know because I couldn’t get the owners/ crew to call me about my order. I was told multiple times, “I will call you back”. I was even told to send the menu I desired. It was my daughter’s first birthday and I needed a caterer. Customer service is important but clearly that is not Corner Boys priority.

UPDATE: After posting my previous review, I spoke with James from Corner Boys and I must say I am truly pleased with the conversation we had. He showed how important customer service was to his business. I look forward to working with him in the future.“

“I love The Pit. This one is as good as the one in Durham. Great pulled pork, and great service despite going in with a party of 15.

The free hush puppies are the best I have had. And the green beans are a little salty (which i like) .

For the bbq chicken you can actually pick white or dark meat, so that's awesome too.“
