Stephenson's Bar-B-Q

Great food! Friendly service! Highly recommended the large pig plate with green beans and the hush puppies are always amazing

Locally owned, friendly, efficient service. Casual atmosphere, locals, farmers, blue collar. Home cooking options. Specials every day. BBQ includes pulled pork and chicken. Fried chicken takes 25 min, fyi.Pitchers of tea and fresh ice brought to your table, keep up on your own refills, and a nice touch.Other options if BBQ is not your liking.

IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. It is a hometown favorite but I keep telling everyone I meet, no matter what bbq places I try, this IS the best. Seat yourself, simple combos and old fashioned corner store pig-themed galore. Barbecue all DAY long outside in the pits right out back. Is the most tender, juicy, glazed bbq chicken I've ever had and the fried chicken and pork are right there with it. GET yourself to Stevensons.

I totally support local businesses so it's hard to write, a poor review.We've been here about 3-4 times. The last time was a couple of months ago the barbecue tasted like it came out of the refrigerator went in microwave for a minute, the fried okra was cold and mushy and then thrown on a paper plate. The barbecue chicken was pretty good. Our food literally came on a Styrofoam plate with some plastic silverware. Dinner for a family of four set us back about $65. We tried a little bit of everything. The staff was very pleasant. It was a weekday at approximately 5 PM. I see this restaurant when the parking lot is packed and then sometimes there's nobody at all there maybe there's a trick of when the right time is to eat there.At this point in time, I would not recommend the restaurant, but I'm hopeful that something has changed or will be changing. It's convenient. I would love to see it get better.

Great food and kind people. There is a drive thru of sorts that is convenient. Love their hush puppies.

This is a pretty good bbq place not the best not the worst. It's a popular place been around for awhile.

Three of us dropped in for a late lunch, and the food was so good that we ordered still more food to take home for dinner. We started with a pork platter with sides of coleslaw and collard greens, and two mixed plates of pork and Brunswick stew, with sides of french fries, green beans, and more coleslaw and greens. Hush puppies came with all 3 plates, and the lightly crusted, moist and chewy NC staple proved so good that we ordered two dozen more (at 14 cents each). The Brunswick stew has terrific texture and taste, and the East Carolina style pork worked well with the vinegar sauce on the table. We added vinegar and a splash of Texas Pete to the greens, which made them very, very good indeed. The coleslaw worked well with the pork, and the house cut french fries were fresh and hot. Only the green beans failed to impress.A not overly sweet, well balanced banana pudding provided a smooth finish. We got 3 more, and another dozen hush puppies for the road. For $50.13 including tip, this was good eating!

My gf and I have been doing the NC Historic BBQ trail. We have hit 13 of the 20 spots on that list. I found this one to be very middle of the road, while my gf absolutely loved the BBQ here.They were doing drive through still, and we both ordered the basic chopped bbq plates with vinegar. The vinegar definitely improved the meal, but I can't put it above many on the NC BBQ trail myself.The hushpuppies and sides were also good for the price. Not a place we felt we'd ever drive out of our way for again, but it was decent.

Stephenson's is what a NC bar-b-ought to be. Their pig is outstanding and they understand chicken, too. The side are simple, tasty, and don't detract from why you're there.The service makes you feel like you're in your hometown. And their sweet tea is not for the faint of heart!My only complaint about this place is that it's not closer to our home in Fuquay-Varina.

Great bbq along with the bbq boiled potatoes. Fair pricing too! Fast service and call ahead ordering
