I eat lots of bbq and I have to say this one is right up there with the best. One criteria I have is the sides, and Shepard does an outstanding job with their homemade sides. Heck, who wants HT level coleslaw, right? When it comes to meats, this place shines. I tried their pulled pork sandwich and it was heaven. The roll did not become mush even when I soaked the pork with their delicious sauce. Huge helping of succulent and pork in it so please be hungry! It’s not hard to...read full review
I was at a grocery store…. Somehow a conversation started about the best chicken sandwich in Wilmington…. I mentioned .. On Thyme Restaurant & The Rooster & the Crow ..
The gentleman I was speaking with… was adamant.. about the fried chicken sandwich @ Shepherd BBQ…
Of course I had to try it !
Located in the Cargo District.. it is certainly worth a visit!

We went for it! We got a variety of tasty options: Eastern North Carolina style pulled pork BBQ, coleslaw, brisket, ribs, collards, mac & cheese, chicken tenders, Nashville hot style (from bird box) I mean literally everything was so delicious! I have absolutely zero notes and I grew up here in Wilmington, North Carolina so I’m picky. Cheers to Shepherd’s barbecue! We will 100% be back. Best barbecue and more place in town I would say.
Based on customer reviews, Shepard Barbecue Catering Co. is a top-tier BBQ spot in Wilmington that serves next level BBQ. The restaurant shines with its meats, offering options like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, smoked turkey, and a fried chicken sandwich. The pulled pork sandwich is heaven, with a huge helping of succulent pork that does not make the roll mushy. The fried chicken sandwich is juicy, well breaded, and perfectly cooked on a brioche bun with comeback sauce and house made pickles. Sides are outstanding, including homemade coleslaw, collards, mac & cheese, fries fried in tallow, and pit beans. A popular combo is pulled pork, collards, and pit beans in a bowl with that sauce and some cornbread. Everything is so delicious, from the Eastern North Carolina style pulled pork to the Nashville hot style. The banana pudding is also a hit. This BBQ hits the spot and is the best barbecue and more place in town.
