    Yum! I'm not supposed to eat much red meat but when I do, I try to come here! The owner is available and truly cares.

    Most places in NC can't do brisket but, Ben's brisket is getting close to Texas quality brisket, so far the best I can get NC.

    This was our first time at this location. We have been to the Dillsboro previously and loved it so…read morewe thought we'd give this location a try and what a great choice that was!! It doesn't look big on the outside but inside it set up to hold tons of tables. They do over take out as well so you can call ahead and for pick up or come in and order to go. We were able to be seated immediately around 1 pm on Saturday. Our waitress came right over to give us the specials and see if we had ever been before or had any questions on the sauces. We placed our food order and it wasn't too long until the we had the best smells right in front of us! I had the special, brisket tacos and he had the brisket sandwich! Every bite was tender and delicious!! Portion sizes were good and prices were decent. If you love tender and delicious BBQ then absolutely stop here!! If not move along and the leave the goods for the rest of us!

    These folks are serious about their meat; walk in wearing a t-shirt from another BBQ joint (not a…read moresnob - just giving a shout out to Wilber's in Goldsboro) and the staff mocked me out the door. Where we were seated in a large tent outside and had some of the best 'cue I've had in western NC. Don't be dissuaded by the old house vibe. It's tight inside but if the weather is good, head outdoors. First, pulled pork (standard for me) was moist with plenty of bark and good smoke. Brisket is served with both fat/lean together and had great texture and flavor. Housemade sauces include lexington style dip, eastern NC vinegar and SC mustard. All were very good. Baked beans were excellent and collards with big brisket chunks were very good (could be cooked a bit longer). Staff is quick to joke, super fast on the service and lots of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and I'll wear mu Haywood t-shirt down east to rep! Stop by their other location in Dillsboro; either is a solid choice for great barbecue.
