Bunn's Barbecue

Not open and we drove 15 minutes out of our way. Closed and website and sign wrong! Not up to date for information on yelp site either!

Spending the day with extended family. Couldn't pass on the opportunity to indulge in Eastern North Carolina barbecue. No frills, straight up G-O-O-D! If you're every in Windsor, give Bunn's a try.

A MUST stop when driving through Windsor. OMFG, the cornbread is ground breaking. Two people can eat the best BBQ sandwich of their lives with sodas for a tad over $10.The staff are so sweet and wonderful.

The best chopped barbecue I've ever had!!I'm from NY and every time I come to North Carolina I have to stop here for a sandwich. You can sit in for a quick bite or order takeout. The staff is always, always so pleasant. I'll probably stop back in before I go back home ! LolPs-It's not fancy. You come here for the awesome food, not the ambiance. It's a vintage Gem. Also, no credit cards accepted Just cash. Enjoy!

I have eaten at this iconic, beyond retro, barbecue joint a number of times over the years - usually as a slight detour on the way to the OBX. I always enjoyed the pig here, but it had been almost 8 years since my last visit, so I didn't feel comfortable reviewing it. Now I do. This place still serves very, very good Eastern NC style barbecue, not the "World's Best" as stated on the front of their building, but very, very good (easily in my Top 15, maybe even Top 10), and it is very reasonably priced.They cook just pork shoulders here so the meat is leaner and cleaner than some you find in Eastern NC. It is moderately chopped, tender & moist, and is rather mild as it comes out of the kitchen, but with a definite vinegar snap to it - a good dose of the house sauce (which has some heat) and a little salt, rounds this pig out for me.The Cornbread Sandwich ($3.50 for BBQ between 2 pieces of cornbread) is the unique item here, but much like the famous Pork Chop Sandwich at Snappy Lunch, once is about enough. The cornbread is thin and rather chewy, much like that at Skylight Inn, and overpowers the taste of some pretty good barbecue - the cornbread just isn't that good, imo. The Barbecue Plate ($6 for Regular, only $6.75 for Large) comes with slaw and a piece of cornbread. The slaw is a little different from that served at most Eastern NC BBQ - the cabbage is shredded, not chopped, has a little carrot and some celery seeds, very little mayo, and is on the sweet side - if you get a sandwich (goes for $2.75), I'd leave the slaw off.The Hot Dog here is outstanding and is only $1.25 - I'd stop here just for the dog. The BBQ by the pound is $6.25 cold, $7 if you want it hot. Like I said, great value here. The menu is very compact here - they offer a very good Brunswick Stew ($4.50 for a bowl), BBQ Chicken on Tuesday, and absolutely outstanding Chicken & Pastry on Thursday.This is a small place, with limited seating (maybe 6 or 8 small tables), most here seem to order takeout. The folks are very personable and friendly - one of the owners was kind enough to take a picture of my wife and me out in front of the place. You need to try the food here, and bring cash - no CC accepted here.

My reputation amongst my friends is that I will travel 100 miles for a good BBQ sandwich and this past Wednesday was another trip.Friends who live near Windsor NC strongly suggested that I give Bunn's BBQ a try. Being I was returning from a ceremony in Rocky Mount NC, I felt no time like the present to try Bunn's BBQ.I arrived shortly after noon and there were quite a few trucks and cars in the parking lot (usually a good sign). Upon entering Bunn's I was greeted by a young man who assisted me with the ordering process. One goes into another small room where you place your order. The menu is simple but do not let the simplicity of the menu cause you to walk away without trying the BBQ. I decided on a Bbq sandwich, with slaw , and a bowl of Brunswick stew. There are several places to sit and enjoy the meal. I selected the seating area where you sit on a bench and enjoy the meal at a clean counter. Several employees came into the eating area and asked if my meal was ok and did I need anything. The service was great especially for a small BBQ Restaraunt.The BBQ.had an outstanding smoked flavor and was chopped as I would expect from a good Eastern NC BBQ restaurant. For me personally, the cole slaw was a little to coarsely grated, but again it is just my opinion. The Brunswick stew was hot and for me very good. The flavor was good with a good mix of vegetables. My one complaint would be that the stew did not have enough meat in it. One of the servers told me that on Tuesdays they also serve BBQ chicken and on Thursdays they serve chicken and pastry (some call this chicken pot pie). This is a pleasant surprise for s small NC BBQ Restaurant along with the BBQ.I have added Bunn's to one of my favorite Eastern BBQ places and will definitely travel to it again.

Friendliest people and staff. Great food. Recommend It to everyone! I would go back anytime. Cornbread sandwich was to die for

Usually go for hole in the wall type places but this one was bad all around. The chopped bbq was very good and I get the hype on the reviews about it but its slightly above average at best for the NC area. The rest of the food is terrible, slaw was gross and cornbread was cardboard pretending to be bread. Customer service was also awful. Cant find the menu anywhere unless you walk in. Which is weird because they encourage call in orders and drive thru orders. If you go through the drive thru you catch fresh attitude if you dont know what you want, which is weird because you havent even looked at the menu because it doesnt exist outside of the 1970s lightup board inside the restaurant. People who havent left windsor, please do so you can experience real bbq at an establishment thats operating in this century.

Awesome BBQ!!!!I know what BBQ should taste like.I have eaten BBQ all over NC.You come here for the food. Not the atmosphere.Good size portions.Great service and price.

I had been working in the area and a local resident suggested I try Bunn's if I like BBQ..... Driving up to the former gas station / old time general store, with a grill in the back, it was not what I would call an impressing sight.... But I've found that some of the best places aren't..... In the back room I sat down at an old, well used, but clean counter and and ordered a bbq sandwich from the incredibly friendly waitress..... The service was quick.... and wonderful.... better than I've had in some high end restaurants.... The other folks at the counter were friendly and genuinely interested in striking up a conversation. The BBQ was great.... smokey, with an eastern NC vinegar sauce.... the bun was fresh and the slaw was excellent ..... I'm looking forward to getting back to this part of NC to go to Bunn's again!
