We also shared a plate of three sides, originally wanted the fried green tomatoes, but they were sold out, so we swapped for hushpuppies along with collard greens and baked beans. I'll be honest, when my sandwich came out I was a little nervous because the slaw is BRIGHT yellow. I was expecting a strong yellow mustard flavor (which I'm not a fan of), but it actually wasn't like that at all and worked really well. My husband's bologna sandwich had a super thick cut piece of bologna and was fried perfectly. Everything we had was delicious, but I seriously could not stop eating the pickles, they were that good! The staff was friendly and happy to answer all our questions. It did fill up pretty quickly while we were there, but they've got a big outdoor seating area with plenty of space too. Definitely worth a visit!

I ordered a barbecue plate which comes with hush puppies that came out of an extruder, sliced pickled cucumbers and a yellow slaw. I don't know what causes the slaw to be yellow whether it's a spice or mustard. If it's mustard, there's not much mustard flavor, and it was chopped into oblivion. More of a mush. The BBQ tasted pretty good although it was already sauced. The collard greens I got instead of the pickles was a generous portion even given that substitute sides are $3 extra. The collards didn't taste that good, but adding some of their vinegar sauce helped. The thicker sauce taste better, imo. It's OK, don't know if I'll be back, probably not, but maybe worth a try for you.

I'm a little biased because I live down the way from Byrd's and I am not ashamed to say that when…read morelooking for a house in the area I decided to buy our house because Byrd's was down the street after trying their BBQ. I love watching this business grow since we have been in the neighborhood. The owners James and Kim and the nicest people you will ever meet. All of the staff are consistently friendly, and I have never had a bad interaction - even when they are packed... which is most of the time. When I moved to North Carolina, I was excited to explore the BBQ scene. Unfortunately, several places I tried were disappointing. I'm not going to get into the Eastern NC versus Texas-style debate because I enjoy them both. Simply some of the barbecue I tried was just not very good. Then I found Byrd's. I don't know what James is doing back there in the kitchen, but the brisket is excellent. The ribs are my other favorite, and, as an added bonus, they serve breakfast! I had the brisket omelet, and it was amazing. They have great food, genuinely kind people, and a neighborhood business worth supporting. Go check them out, you won't regret it.

The standout was definitely the brisket. It had an incredible peppery rub and perfectly smoked flavor that kept you going back for bite after bite. Easily some of the best brisket we've had.

I was very disappointed with this meal, the best part were the hush puppies.

A NC staple…read more Bullock's is what you expect from Southern BBQ: big portions, lots of sweetness (in the food and staff), and deep frying anything that resembles a vegetable. Bullock's offers a surprisingly varied menu. They've got your staple fried chicken, ribs, and pulled pork. But then they have things like fried and grilled liver, oysters, and an extensive dessert menu. Don't sleep on these dishes, especially their banana pudding. Bullock's has an old school atmosphere reminiscent of the early 90s, tan walls and ceiling, vintage style light bulbs, posters and paintings of celebrities (both local and national fame). It's all authentic, a real time capsule that will give old souls nostalgia while giving the younger generation a glimpse into the past. Whether you're admiring the scenery or in the need to gorge on greasy BBQ, Bullock's is your best choice in Durham.
