When I was new to Eastern/Central NC, I was astonished by a restaurant sign for a Pork BBQ sandwich. Needless to say I was shocked, surprised, dismayed, and disappointed by this vinegary, chopped "mess". Fast forward to today, and I'm totally enamored by the vinegary chopped pork contrasted by creamy, crunchy cole slaw! Also, a few shakes of hot sauce never hurt 'nobody! When in the area, this is a great opportunity to satiate that addiction. We ordered the chopped BBQ plate, smoked chicken thigh, fried chicken sandwich. All very solid options. My least fav side was the cucumber salad, as it was too vinegary and could have benefited from a pinch or two of sugar. The BBQ was tender and flavored with a vinegar base (missing a pronounced smoke flavor). There is also the option to add a tomato/ketchup based BBQ sauce. While this is located in a gas station there are a few high top tables with chairs and we ate there with no issue. There was a steady stream of to go orders, many of which ordered brisket (Thursday special). BBQ: 3.9 read more

A very nice surprise today finding this hidden gem inside a Shell gas station. I have seen it several times driving past on Six Forks, but today I needed some bbq. Large portions, lots of side dishes and extremely friendly and helpful service. We couldn't decide on dishes to go, but ordered the brisket with a side, chicken salad with a side and also the chopped bbq with side. Each came with Cole slaw and hush puppies. They also came with a drink. I really enjoyed each, but especially the chopped bbq. The smoke and seasoning was very prevalent and went well with the Cole slaw. The chicken salad is especially tasty as well. There's a couple of places to sit inside, but we decided to try a little of each at home. We'll be back as we still have other sides to try as well as the smoked chicken. Give it a try as you'll be glad you found this little gem. read more

Love the food here! Super cheap and delicious! Lots of homemade sides to pick from. The woman who works here everyday is so nice! I need to remember this place is here and go more often! read more

This place is great! Who doesn't love bbq inside of a gas station. Ordered the bbq pork sandwich with slaw, side of mac and cheese. It also came with a couple pork rinds and hush puppies. My partner ordered the brisket plate which was a special with a side of cowboy beans. The pork sandwich was delicious, as well as the brisket. I thought the mac was just ok, but the baked beans were phenomenal. Definitely would return. read more

Chop Shop BBQ & Grill - front: bbq pork sandwich, mac and cheese back: brisket plate with slaw - Food Trucks Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Not the best, not the worst. Limited entrees and sides and what they do have is pretty mid. Sides were bland. Took forever to get food as well. Sauces are good at least. read more

Good food, friendly service, and inside a gas station! Everything is yummy overall except I wouldn't recommend the banana pudding which was two thumbs down, super duper dry. Solid sauces and pulled pork. The chicken sandwich was pretty good too. Meat wasn't dry. We got the chicken sandwich and the pulled pork plate and the side of beans, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and the stew. They both came with hush puppies and a choice of drinks. They hyped up the broccoli salad but we opted to just save it for next time since there's no swapping sides and you'd just pay the full price of the side not the difference. Mac and cheese was yum, so were the hush puppies, def loved the coleslaw. Not gourmet but solid food and nice people. Would definitely return! Even our dog was licking the dirt on the ground next to the smoker outside hahaha read more

Passed by this place for years. Thought it was a food truck. They have a kitchen that is tucked away in the corner of a convenience store in a gas station. This place serves up some great eats. The pork BBQ was nicely seasoned. The tang from the vinegar is offset by a hint of sweetness. The beef brisket special was fantastic. The meat was well cooked but had a nice chew unlike some brisket that falls apart. Platter came with slaw, a side and a drink. The potato salad was creamy and crunchy with some peppers. There are only two tables inside plus outdoor tables.Jessica was in charge of the food. She was friendly and helpful. This is an off the path find. read more

This business is located inside of a gas station. They do have a drive through but it was closed the day that I visited. I placed my order at the counter & it didn't take long to get my food. I got the BBQ chicken with Mac & cheese, hush puppies & coleslaw. The mac, hush puppies, & the mustard dipping sauce for the hush puppies were good. Some of the chicken was moist while other parts were a little dry and over cooked around the edges. read more

‼ I had a very concerning experience at Chop Shop BBQ on June 28, 2025, around 1:30 PM. I saw the cashier/server handle pulled pork with her bare hands, mix it with sauce, and eat directly from the container -- then go back in with her hand. No gloves, no hand washing. It was disturbing and completely unsanitary. I hope management and health authorities address this immediately. This is a serious food safety issue. read more

I went to the Chop Shop, in Raleigh, a long time ago and remembered it being good. I'm not sure why I haven't driven past it to go again. But, I drove past it today, and decided to try it. So glad I did!!! The menu is simple, but incredible. Today I had the fried chicken sandwich, fries and tea. What have I been waiting for?!!! It's on the side of a gas station / convenience store, but do not let that fool you for a minute. It's the real deal!!!! BBQ, amazing chicken salad, hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, and more...and the desert!!! If you find yourself on Six Forks, not far from Costco, you should treat yourself to a stop here!! So worth it!!!! read more

Excellent food & service. Low ambience. In a gas station. Great BBQ pork and sides. Friendly staff.

Delicious, tender and juicy. What more can you ask for in BBQ? Customer service was fabulous read more

Pulled to drive thru window and saw worker on phone and not paying attention. Had to get out in cold to order after waiting at the window and the inside smelled a little funny upon entrance. The pulled pork sandwich was good but it only came with two MINI hush puppies. Drink and fry amount were also school lunch size. Very disappointing! Good sandwich but that's it; overpriced due to small portions given. read more

Delicious food. Had brisket on Thursday and it was great. Excellent customer service and friendly too. We enjoyed it a lot.

I'm not a big BBQ fan but I was very impressed by the quality of the food here! I got the pulled pork plate with the Mac and cheese, and I really enjoyed it. I had a great conversation with the employee while she prepped the order, which was wonderful. I found it funny to find this place in a gas station, but I think it adds to the ambiance of a BBQ place. There are a few small tables inside the station for eating but there are also some outdoor tables as well. Looking forward to coming again, maybe even for a catered order! read more

Meh. Two pulled pork plates and a side each of "cowboy" beans and Brunswick stew. The quantity served was generous and the hush puppies were good but that's about it. I'm guessing that the que is shoulder rather than whole hog but this isn't Western Carolina style as another reviewer suggested. No pepper, either black or red, and the sauce is just too sweet. I was content with the smoke flavor, my dining partner found it lacking. I put the word "cowboy" above in quotation marks because I have no idea what makes the beans cowboy-ish. They're served in a greasy, thin liquid with large clumps of ground beef and more sweet sauce. The stew suffers from a similar problem - too thin and too sweet. I feel like the food could be good if they cut back on the sugar and tightened up the sides but based on the insanely laudatory reviews I'm seeing here, sugary que is what people want. read more

I'm so glad Offline Raleigh made me aware of this (conspicuous) place off Six Forks. I didn't have any idea it was there, namely because it's inside a gas station. But don't let that dissuade you! I got the pork BBQ platter which came with a spoonful of coleslaw, two hush puppies and two sides. I went with the broccoli slaw, which was delicious, and banana pudding. Hands down, the best I've ever had! It tasted like they'd added a pinch of cinnamon which gave it a little kick of sweetness. They do run out of food so don't wait too late in the day, and also check their site for when they're open as they have odd operating hours. There are a few picnic tables you can sit at when it's a nice day. read more

After checking out multiple other BBQ places around Raleigh, this place, HANDS DOWN, has the best smoked pulled pork! It's the western Carolina style BBQ with red vinegar - tangy and delish. It's inside the gas station, but don't be fooled. I will always recommend this place to everyone. It hit the spot for me. The pulled pork plate was only $11 and it's a good size portion. It includes a side, slaw, and a drink. Y'all. Go get your BBQ here. read more

This is the best gas station bbq in the triangle. Everything is good and the prices are circa 2018... The pork bbq is the best in Raleigh. The smoked chicken is a sleeper. For sides, the cowboy beans are fantastic. The pork rinds are a must order from the secret menu. The Mac and cheese is as good as any in NC. Only downside is they only have brisket on Thursday and don't have collards or green beans. read more

First time picking up bbq from this place. It is unassumingly tucked into the back of a gas station on Six Forks Rd. Employees were super friendly. We picked up some pork bbq and fries to go. Pork was lean and tender with a perfect smoky taste. Several bbq sauces to choose from. I went with an eastern nc vinegar sauce, my fave. Crinkle fries were delicious, too! I will definitely be back now that I have discovered this place-- convenient and yummy! read more

This little hidden gem was a treat on a night we didn't want to cook. When we arrived they were actually out of a lot of things due to supply shortage - so we didn't get to try some of the things we were truly interested in. However, we did settle for the BBQ plate (mac and cheese/slaw) and the chicken sandwich with cowboy beans. The food was fresh and hot. We didn't have to add anything to the meal to as it had flavor. My wife stated the BBQ wasn't like the Eastern type as it had a little sweetness to it but it was still good. I thought it was tender and moist, so I was happy. The mac and cheese and slaw were good. The star of the show was the beans - cowboy beans! They were soooo good with the hamburger and onions mixed in. The chicken sandwich was tasty as well. It had a little spicy to it that was surprising but good. It was a welcomed difference that you don't normally find at a BBQ joint. We will return to try out the other items. read more

My family has had bbq all over NC, and we loved the flavors of both the meat and sides. My favorite sides were the potato salad and cowboy beans, and my least favorite sides were the cole slaw and Mac n cheese. The staff was so kind to equip me with extra aluminum foil and gloves to warm the takeout food later. Chop Shop will provide vinegar but, if asked, will also provide tomato- or mustard-based sauces. Placing my order over the phone was easy, and picking up the food was quick. Chop Shop is conveniently located by North Hills shopping area. Don't let the gas station location stop your visit--Chop Shop was very clean and professional. You can tell that the employees are pouring their energy into building a local business to serve you. read more

Best BBQ and southern food + sides in town! Tastes like home cooking and the staff is amazing. Lots of food for your money too.

These guys are the "CAT'S MEOW"; "THE REAL DEAL"! Not only is the QUALITY OF THEIR FOODS beyond description; but I found their personalities and service to be impeccable. The owner noticed by Vietnam War cap and when I presented him with a poster of the history of my families' (within 20 miles of each other in Ralegh/Garner), he offered to pay for my lunch. I was overwhelmed as I had rarely received such appreciation during the over 50 years since I returned to Raleigh from the battlefields of Vietnam; nor had the 20-plus other members of my family. Yet, HIS SINCERE show of appreciation for our service, was FAR from the BEST SURPRISE I had for that day. THAT privilege belongs to the FOOD; the PULL PORK BARBECUE, THE SLAW, THE MAC & CHEESE, THE BANANA PUDDIN, etc. The combination of the hospitality at Chop Shop BBQ & Grill and the FOOD they serve makes the effort to locate this "tucked-away gold mine" MORE THAN WORTHWHILE. One visit and YOU like me, will be hooked. The "EXTERIOR" may look like a MERE gas or service station; but to me, THIS "TASTY DIVE" IS WHAT RESTAURANTS are ALL ABOUT! "QUALITY, TASTY FOOD, at a great price and GREAT HOSPITALITY! read more

Picture this: you just got your BBQ to go after some small talk with the person who took your order, and you are filling up on some BBQ sauces before you head out. All of a sudden, you hear "give it up for *insert names that they just learned*" for no apparent reason, followed up with the applause of the TWO employees who are working there. And all of this inside of a Shell gas station? Hands down one of the funniest things I've encountered while eating out! The food isn't mind blowing but it is a large portion of delicious food at a solid price. I got the pulled pork platter with coleslaw, mac & cheese, and hush puppies and would happily do it all over again. read more

We originally had planned to go Sam Jones, but found this unique spot on Yelp and we weren't disappointed. We'll be back for sure! read more

We love Chop Shop! We got the pulled pork plate with mac and cheese, added sides of potato salad and fries. My husband and I shared that and thanks to the generous portions, we had more than enough to split. We enjoyed meeting and getting to talk to the owner, Hudson, while he fixed our food. Ask for the hush puppy sauce! read more

Agree with the five stars. The pulled pork was perfectly smoked and pulled (not chopped).gas station location gives character, staff was great and knew their products very well. Good stop for BBQ Sides of Mac and cheese and potato salad were OK but the pork was the star. There r a couple of 2 seat tall tables inside and seating outside. read more

Drive thru isn't normally open. Limited inside space. Good BBQ and banana pudding. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Randomly looked up this place on yelp and saw the 5 stars and it did not dissapoint. We wanted NC Bbq because we came from NoVA and it looked sus at first but it has a drive thru to comfort you. The lady at the window was super nice and polite, she blessed us with the extra hush puppies and because it was our first time here and we were from Virginia, she even gave us banana pudding! Seriously the best hospitality. We got both the bbq plate and chicken bbq. The chicken bbq was moist and had that smokey touch to it. The bbq has its juices at the bottom so make sure to start from the bottom and it will not dissapoint. The mac and cheese was divine and the hush puppies were honestly the best i've had (gotta eat them hot!). Lastly, the banana pudding was absolutely delicious. It has a cinnamon in it which makes it all taste even better. Would love to come back if we get the chance! read more

Food Truck Time: Chop Shop BBQ at the Raleigh Flea Market Hungry while shopping at the flea market I decided to stop by this food truck. Luckily I looked at the menu because I was almost charged an extra $4 for my order. I got a BBQ sandwich topped with slaw and a side of mac 'n cheese. The BBQ was not not shredded enough so it was very tough to eat as a sandwich but the meat had a good flavor. The mac 'n cheese was okay but I really liked the hushpuppies. I haven't seen this truck around much so I am eager to try a few other menu items. read more
