BBQ in Durham

Backyard BBQ Pit - it's on Hwy 55 not close to campus. A hole-in-the-wall kind of place but definitely my favorite in town.
There are plenty of good BBQ places in NC, but for my money Wilber's in Goldsboro is the best. It's a long ways from Durham, but if you are a BBQ aficionado, then it should be on the bucket list.
And I'm not willing to guarantee it's the best. Actually for me (and I may be crucified for saying this in NC), Kansas City BBQ >> NC BBQ. So my preferences in flavor may not be the same as yours if you really enjoy the vinegar stuff.
Allen and Sons. Right off Hwy. 86 between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. OFC
Where is the best barbque in North Carolina? Here in Kentucky all we have is the chain city barbque which is good
Quick question for you. I was looking at the Duke-MSU game thread on RR. Why do you refer to Grayson Allen as "Gayson"?
What's the best near you? I remember when we were down there for the state championship we ate BBQ off the interstate near Burlington and it was fantastic
That might have been Hursey's . They have two locations right off the interstate. OFC
I would like to know how many of you have been to a pig pickin. Not cooking shoulders but a pig pickin. Now that's BBQ OFC
Living in SC makes me miss good Q.Went to CTC ate Q in Lexington on the way up,then stopped in Burlington on way home to take 5 lbs home.Yall would not believe what passes for Q around Columbia
Mustard based > Vinegar
Anyone know a good place in the Triad? Everywhere I've gone in High Point and Winston has been subpar.
Just going to name a few here in eastern NC that I have enjoyed. Best I've had in my opinion is Jack Cobb and Son in Farmville. Love it! B's Barbecue in Greenville, Skylight Inn and Bums in Ayden. Safe to say Pitt County is king of NC when it comes to bbq. Bunn's in Windsor, Wilbur's in Goldsboro and A&E out of Scotland Neck all have good cue. You would be amazed at how BBQ in NC differs once you go west of I95. Only BBQ that I have truly liked west of 95 is Allen & Sons out of Chapel Hill. Mainly because it tastes like eastern NC bbq. Have not eaten at many bbq places west of 95 though.
I have never understood the infatuation with Parkers BBQ. The cue is average, the corn sticks suck and the stew is nasty. Sue me.
My great uncle was the original owner. They do have good BBQ.
Good lord man, why would you make such a comment? I don't really hate duke fans, but I might have to start after that post.

The South Carolina runs deep here my friend. I like vinegar based Q too, but that mustard zing gets me every time.
JD's Smokehouse near Hickory off exit 113 is the best I have eaten. I'm not much on the vinegar based stuff.
The poor OP just wanted to know where the best Q was around Durham. BBQ is about the most subjective food there is in the state of North Carolina. Everyone has a best place in mind where Q is served and I know theres not just one "best" BBQ place in NC because I have eaten at many of them and the worst I've had was actually pretty good.
Hog Heaven and Backyard BBQ is good in Durham.. I like Hog because their sauce is a tad sweet. Sykylight Inn in Ayden is very very good.. Wilbur's in Goldsboro is OK... its a tad spicy.. I do not like Parker's in Greenville, I have heard the one in Wilson is better. I also like McCall's in Goldsboro... Moore's BBQ in New Bern used to be Delicious... They just changed owners however
I very seldom eat BBQ out anymore. The best is straight from my smoker. Slow cook a Boston butt for about 12 hours, it don't get much better than that! Ribs are awesome too.
They did the pig pickin' at the rehearsal dinner for my wife's wedding. I had heard that the ownership change was not good for the product.Moore's BBQ in New Bern used to be Delicious... They just changed owners however
Love this thread, BTW.
