My family and I came here to have a late lunch and we were seated right away at an inside table. However, after being seated, we sat there for over 15 minutes and no waiter every came by. Eventually, one of my family members went up to their bar to ask, since we hadn't gotten drinks or anything. If we hadn't asked, I'm not sure how long we would have sat there waiting. A waitress did come to take orders after that, and she was apologetic and offered us free dessert. However, after placing our orders, we were once again waiting, and the food took over an hour to come out. When it did come, we were disappointed by the serving size, especially of the sides. I didn't take a picture, but one of my family members ordered the side of macaroni & cheese. For $3.49 we were all surprised that the serving was so small, probably less than 1/4 cup. I ordered the Turkey breast plate with potato salad and yellow slaw as sides. The sides were good - id highly recommend the yellow slaw over the red or white if you like mustard. The Turkey was ok , nothing special. Overall we ended up being here for more than 2 hours, and I'd say we were waiting for about 1.5 of those hours. I appreciate that our waitress took this into account and tried to make up for it with the free dessert (which was really good), but my family and I were all disappointed with our experience here.

Great BBQ in a little town. I ended up getting a jalapeno beer and that matched perfectly with the food.

Hillsborough BBQ is the best! They have great bbq and I love their hushpuppies! They offer outdoor and indoor seating, and seating at the bar. Staff is friendly and there is onsite parking. I bring all of my friends and family when they visit!

Located one one block in Hillsborough, legit North Carolinian BBQ with the eastern (too vinegary) and western sauce.Place was full when we got there Fri night around 6pm, waited about 20ish min for a table for 4. Ordered the 2 meat plate, 1/4 lb pork and 1/4 Texas style brisket, with hush puppies, red coleslaw and fried okra. NC BBQ is known for pork, brisket was moist (but not as fatty moist as Deep Ellum in Dallas!). 1/2 lb was too much, should've just ordered 1 meat plate. Red slaw was different, had tangy vinegar sauce. Fried okra was good, should've gotten green beans if I knew it was actually fresh (sometimes just never know if it's canned green beans...). Solid spot overall. Check out the frozen custard spot next door for dessert after :D

Super delicious dinner and incredible service.We didn't know what to expect but happy we found this little spot. Arrive early or plan to wait (takeout is available too). Their demand is larger than their four walls.The pulled pork and brisket = superb. The catfish and slaw = delicious. We also ordered a small brisket chili that was to die for.Full operating bar with beers and what not available, or have a classic ice tea. Jordan, our server, was awesome. On point, super friendly, willing to help or educate on the menu, we loved Jordan.Stop in if you haven't been. You won't be disappointed.

By chance, I ended up at the Eno River Brewery and was in need of lunch and was excited to see this as an option that was very close by! From the outside, it looked like a very simple place which was part of the draw for me. Deciding between brisket and pork is usually a challenge for me, so I this time I opted for both with two sides. Both the pork and brisket were good. I would consider the Mac and cheese to just be average but did enjoy the corn pudding. The hush puppies were pretty good too! I'm sorry I don't recall my servicer name, but she was attentive. I thought the food was reasonably priced and would totally return again in the future! Thank you for a great meal!

Delicious food - I had the brisket with a side of okra and corn pudding, daughter had regular chopped barbecue with chips and hubs enjoyed the pork nachos from the appetizer menu. All of our meat options were great but I wasn't crazy for the corn pudding - regret that I didn't get the Mac and cheese - next time! Service was great - attentive and prompt. We happened to be there in the winter and we were seated near the door. Every time someone entered or exited the restaurant, we were hit with a blast of cold air. Unfortunate, but I don't know how that could possibly be corrected. We did enjoy the enlarged black and white photos on the walls of old time barbecue pits and the people tending the process - fascinating and homey touch! Will definitely return but will enjoy it more in warmer weather!

The first sign it was a good choice was seeing locals in and around this little gem. The minute you walk in, you smell BBQ. We were seated in a reasonable amount of time and we're greeted quickly by Olivia. Everything was spot on! Lucious chicken seasoned perfectly. BBQ Pork had just the right amount of crunch. Delectable sides to choose from. We had the Buttery collard greens, tangy red slaw, mustard-mayo-vinegar yellow slaw, Corn puddin that melted in your mouth and the Hush puppies were delicious!! No room for dessert, but it looked like it would have been excellent. It's a bit if a drive for us from Chapel Hill, but we will be back!
