    Southland Trade - Pan of Pork BBQ!

    We fittingly tried Southland on our way back south to NC from VA. Except for the fried chicken, it…read morereally didn't highlight North Carolina's culinary talents very well. I tried the chopped, they called it minced, BBQ. It was very finely chopped, without any texture, and heavily seasoned with a vinegar-based sauce. It was definitely not the best Eastern NC 'Q I've eaten. At least the slaw seemed freshly made. I paid an up charge for sweet potato fries and was rewarded with a heaping helping of undercooked frozen sweet potato fries that were closer to tasteless than tasty. The hush puppies were just balls of bready blandness - yuck. My dining companion tried the fried chicken and pulled pork combo. She thought the fried chicken was good and based on the number of other Customers ordering it, this is Southland's main draw. The pulled pork was stringy strands of pork seasoned like the chopped 'Q; she tried a couple of bites and gave up. Our server was not attentive and seemed like she didn't really care too much. The tasty fried chicken knocked Southland out of the running for a 1-star review, but all-in-all our meal just wasn't very good and really doesn't paint NC BBQ in a positive light.

    Oh my goodness, I definitely do not like leaving 2 star reviews but either they need to improve or…read morepeople need to be aware! The service is great, Becca was very kind, genuinely friendly and had the sweetest smile. The other servers were also very attentive and friendly so they're doing that part right! The prices are average and the restaurant and bathrooms are clean so they're doing that right too! The food though, oh gosh, the food is severely sub par. I got the mixed platter with fried chicken and pulled pork, hubby got the brisket platter. The fried chicken tasted old, not sure how to describe it, it felt and tasted old with a rubbery skin I could barely chew. The pulled pork was not edible, it was so dry I couldn't chew it enough to swallow it! Hubby said the Mac and cheese was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the mashed potatoes! Let's talk about the brisket though! Paper thin slices of meat, reheated on a grill top and smothered in a weird gravy. Pretty much leather straps! The hush puppies were nice and the onion rings were too but gosh, the mains just failed so miserably. I almost forgot, I also had the salad bar, it was very small but nicely stocked and clean. Sorry for the two stars but folks need to know what to expect, perhaps the burgers and sandwiches are good?!
