The barbecue good, brisket and pork ribs. But the smoked chicken was raw nobody wanted to eat you can see the pink and it looked raw. The BBQ was not sticking to it. They were nice about it and replaced it. It being smoked I wouldn't say that it was impressive. You can barely taste the smoked flavor.

Did not live up to the hype nor the hour long wait. I have had better BBQ in my own state. Brisket over cooked / so much fat (WHERES THE BRISKET), pork hard crusty tasting with mix of over cooked, Okra soft/mushy, Fried green tomatoes, so much breading I could not find the tomatoes.

This place was recommended to my group who were briefly in Raleigh for a conference. The service was great for our big group, but I did not like Carolina chop BBQ at all. My favorite thing on my plate was the fried chicken. Everyone also raved about the meatloaf. Everything else was a hit or miss. It's worth a shot.

Outstanding North Carolina food experience, educational great staff definitely a place to stop by and get a taste of North CarolinaWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to maneuver around
The atmosphere was nice in general. The food was good and the place is well maintained. We love the devil eggs and the pulled pork. I suggest trying while in the Raleigh area. Love the story behind the original owner.

We came in for a late lunch and not crowded at all.We had the fried catfish sandwich with potato salad and a bbq sandwich with fried okra.The catfish must have been great because my wife finished it before I could eat half my sandwich! The fried okra was plentiful and perfectly fried and hot when served.The biscuits and hush puppies were not expected but dang… so good.Very pleased we stopped in from out of town, highly recommend a visit!
