The best BBQ in the area!…read more One walks into this restaurant with a "Where have you been all my life?!" feeling and leave there feeling like they have experienced a phenomenon of culinary bliss! This restaurant does NOT disappoint! We really enjoyed our experience at this relaxed restaurant. Rebecca, our server, did an excellent job anticipating our needs and flawlessly ensured our order was correct. She was awesome! Food is UNBELIEVABLY EXCELLENT! The brisket and pulled pork was perfectly done! The potato salad and banana pudding were great. My son had the half-rack of ribs and the portion they brought out looked like a whole rack. We've never seen our son eat ribs so quickly - he devoured them in what was likely a record time, and if you knew this kid - he doesn't get in a hurry for anything...but had we reached over his plate we would likely be missing fingers... lol The brisket was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. My wife enjoyed the chicken and brisket. The collard greens were perfectly done. The sauces were great! Banana pudding was the best you can get aside from having homemade. We live about 40 minutes from this restaurant and in another county - but we will now be regular fixtures at this restaurant. They are definitely the G.O.A.T. in a 4 county area! Do give them a try!

I was in the area and saw positive reviews for Hylton's and decided to give it a shot for a late…read morelunch. Service was very kind, guiding me on the menu. I ended up ordering the fish plate (whiting), with mac and cheese and green beans. I took a spot and it was a short wait. The food came out hot and fresh. The were two large pieces of whiting. The mac and cheese was delightful and good flavor with the green beans. Plates come with 2 honey butter biscuits. They were more dessert like, think doughnuts, offering an unexpected treat. The person working that day was really kind, checking in and helpful to others who came in. Definitely give it a try.

I used to be so-so about bar b que until we stopped into Briggs. We were warmly welcomed by a…read moresweet woman wearing an apron and told to sit anywhere. She was busy holding down the fort-taking orders and cooking too. I later learned that it was a family run business. I ordered the "spicey meatloaf" with 2 sides (there were a lot of side options to choose from). My two sides were fried okra and stuffing. She ordered the chopped bar-b-que pork with coleslaw and mac 'n cheese. We sampled each other's food with the satisfied expression of closed eyes and a 'MMMM" while eating. Everything was DEE-liscious! Wonderfully seasoned, great portions and perfectly cooked. It's one of those times when I wished that I had a bigger belly or a clone, so that I could try more food!...or pick up and move to Yanceyville NC! Other patrons asked a lot of questions about the other menu items. That's when I learned about their "black cornbread". The owner said it was her father's recipe. It uses black cornmeal and other spices. We took ours to go and later (really) enjoyed it back at our hotel. The owner/cook also gave us a sample of her chicken salad. It was so so good, seasoned wonderfully...more reason to be fatter to be able to eat more!! I would recommend anything and everything there, because I'm sure it's cooked right and with love! Thanks Briggs for helping me appreciate wonderful southern/BBQ food!

We ended up trying Brigg's because it was on the way home from a weekend trip. When I walked in…read morethe door I was expecting your typical NC BBQ joint, but was surprised to find it's a Jamaican restaurant now. It looks like the restaurant recently changed hands and the new ownership is taking it in a new direction. Consequently the menu is a mashup of the old menu and Jamaican dishes. I was very pleasantly surprised with my curry chicken served with rice and cabbage. It was a typical Jamaican yellow curry with bone-in chicken and potatoes. The curry was very flavorful, but not spicy. In hindsight, I should have asked if they had some Jamaican scotch-bonnet hot sauce to spice things up a bit. The cabbage, cooked with ham hocks or something similar was fantastic; it was the best cabbage I've had in a long time. All in all, my meal was excellent. My wife tried the BBQ. The fries were cooked to order, the slaw was creamy, but the BBQ was a disappointment. I tried a bite and it reminded me of the sort of pork BBQ that you can buy in the grocery store. It was a definite meh, at best. My curry chicken was definitely a 4-star meal, while the BBQ rates 2-stars, so everything averages out to 3 stars. That said, I suspect that if you stick with the Jamaican menu, you're likely to get a 4-star or better meal. One last thing: If you pay with a credit card, they hit you up with a 4% upcharge. Disappointing.

Not the best NC barbecue I've had, but certainly not the worst. Far from it. I'm just saying…read morethere is a lot better. I got the chopped tray and a hotdog, all the way. I would say the portions were decent. I enjoyed the hotdog the least.

This BBQ Chicken is much like that served at Real Q in Winston in that it is cooked over hard wood coals and is basted with the same sauce as their pork, there is no smothering, tomato ladened sauce here.

My dining companion tried the combination chopped and coarse chopped pork BBQ while I just had chopped BBQ. My serving of chopped 'Q was moist, flavorful and had just the right amount of smokiness. The coarsely chopped BBQ was also very good but not quite as moist. The red BBQ slaw was very good and not spicy. We each received a serving of just-out-of-the-fryer hush puppies. I thought they were very tasty and had a perfect amount of onion. The fries were served hot, but were just typical frozen potatoes, so I probably skip them next time. Pro tip: try just a drop of the house sauce before slathering it all over your meal. It's a bit spicy so make sure it works well for your palette. We split an order of cherry cobbler for dessert and received a very large serving big enough for at least 3 people. It was warm, good, and not super sweet. Our server was friendly and efficient in this unassuming, quintessential NC BBQ restaurant. We both enjoyed our meal and will return.

We personally love to pull around back beneath the shade tree to eat. This is a place where you get chips with your hotdog-not fries. Which is kind of a bummer for folks like me who love a crispy fry slathered in ketchup alongside my hotdog. You can also get a glass bottle drink. My husband always grabs an ice cold Cheerwine. They're not my top hotdog pick in the area, but I certainly never say no to a visit to Pulliams. Give this neat little place a try!

So there was a wait and I was in no rush. My order for two dogs all the way with slaw and toasted bun. Along with Cheerwine and bag of chips. Dogs were great but one bun was burnt slightly. There is no ambiance like it's 108 years old. So can cut it some slack. Fortunately the employees are much younger! As for ambiance not much except so far best dogs in Triad IMO. I have a rule to never eat in my automobile. Not many option where people do eat in their car.Wooden stumps to side of place to sit but too hot for that. You would think after 108 years money would be allocated for small shelters with seats. And warning NO public restroom. To sum it up will rate it four stars Ambiance leave it as is. You are going for the dogs not sparkle.
