    This place seemed kinda cute so we stopped by to check it out. It was pretty empty inside but the…read moreemployees were clearly stressed out about something. When my wife asked for assistance, the elderly employee just walked past her. I was able to get help from the younger girl leaning against the counter but to be honest, it seemed like neither of them wanted to be there or help us so we just fended for ourselves. There was a big stage to one side, but nothing happening there so the kids just sat there and waiting for us adults to finishing perusing. There are lots of alcohol and coffee options but nothing stood out as a must have so we ended up not getting anything. We were pretty hungry, but there were no food options except vending machine type food, so we were out of luck. Be sure to grab a seat inside and enjoy the nursing home quality heat levels. There are more seats available outside but the smell of the full trash cans scattered is around was rather unpleasant.

I stopped in while heading down to OBX, in search of a decent latte or frappe, and was blown away by how much more this place offers. Not only did I get a delicious Java chip frappe, but there was also live music playing, great vibes, and a surprisingly wide selection of goodies for sale. It's a cozy, small-town spot that packs everything a tourist could want. The woman running the show was doing it all, from expertly pouring drafts to crafting my frappe with care & she did it with a smile. It's rare to find a place that balances beer, coffee, charm, and community all in one. Whether you're craving a cold brew, need a break from the road, or just want to soak in some local flavor, Blue 42's Brewing Barn is the perfect pitstop.

    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?!
