hey north carolina guys......

[charlie_the_tuna]

i'm looking for a genuine north Carolina barbeque joint that's not too far off I95. we're driving down for spring break and I cant find a place up here with a decent brisket. help a brother out.

there are better ones out there, but Smithfield has about 6 stores right off 95. I always swing by when I go to Raleigh and pick up a couple sandwiches(with cole slaw of course), 2 doz hushpuppies and a large sweet tea. I think you are going to have to go to Texas to get beef Bar-B-Que. Its all pork in the Carolinas.


Anyone know if the Georgia Pig ever reopened?

I like Smithfield's BBQ...I LOVE!!!!!! their fried chicken. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some chicken if you stop there.

NOT the tenders either, get the bone in chicken.

if going through Georgia on 95 i can recommend two places for excellent beef brisket at the hwy80/mighty eighth exit i think exit102 in Savannah/pooller turn east under overpass go to third light and dickeys will be on the right. it is a Texas chain very good. At exit 29 in Brunswick turn west and about 1 mile down past two lights you will find Garey lee's in a white cinder block building on your right. not fancy but very good

Georgia pig is closed. but locals preferred Garey lees much better and at same exit.
