Great NC pork BBQ. Very moist and tasty. Unassuming stand/shack but friendly staff and good food. That's all we need. Will be back.

I will give this a sold 3 stars So first this is a no seating place. There are a few tables outside but it is a walk up window service place. I think the food would be better eaten right there. Our group got food to eat now and some to take out home for others. The take home food seemed hap hazardously tossed in the bag. So much so that the bottom of the bag was soaking wet from sauce etc oozing out of everything. One sandwich was so squished that it was half the size of the other. Next the BBQ is traditionally Carolina with a very vinegar flavor. Almost overpowering. The meat was so wet with sauce on the sandwich that the bottom bun was inedible. The meat itself was good but very vinegary Someone said the ribs were the best on the island. The potato salad was good. Wish I took pics to show you read more

The two people were so kind, friendly, helpful, and provided great customer service. Barbecue was great. I wish they had hushpuppies though :(. They also have dippin dots, which is a great option. Cool location. Cornbread was A1. read more

If we could give zero stars I would. Spent $53 on three entrees. All raw meat. See photos. I understand that a storm rolled thru and they lost their power transformer but it would have been nice to state the food could not be cooked through properly and they should have refunded the money pre paid hours in advance. Sides were meh. I make better Cole slaw and Mac n cheese. read more

I wish I lived closer by and didn't visit on vacation because I would eat here all the time. They are open Tuesday to Sunday 10-4 and I would highly recommend making some time to stop by if you are in the Outer Banks. My girlfriend and I both ordered the bbq pork plate which came with corn bread and 2 sides (we chose mac & cheese and baked beans) for $11!! Yes you read that right, $11. The quality of food for the price was out of this world. The corn bread was amazing. The pork was tender and they gave you the option to add your own sauce instead of giving it to you in a sloppy sauce pile like some places do. The mac and cheese and beans were both very good as well. They have a very nice shaded area with a bunch of picnic tables to enjoy your food at. Hands down 5 star bbq and I would consider myself lucky to be able to visit again! read more

Corolla Village Barbecue - BBQ pork plate with corn bread, mac and cheese and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

One of the best BBQ restaurants in Corolla! Not only is the food outstanding, the owners go out of their way to ensure your satisfaction. Hoping that several of the other eating establishments in Corolla pay attention to how these folks operate, and step up their game. read more

Ordered takeout pulled pork for the trip home. Service was aces and surrounding area and location was very clean and nice. The food however in opinion was not the best I've ever had. In fact after a week half was discarded. Will definitely try again but not in any rush. read more

My wife and I stopped here for dinner Saturday after arriving at the OBX. We just needed something easy, reasonably priced, and filling to hold us over after our long trip. This place was about a mile from our location. They had a small parking lot, outdoor seating in the form of park benches, and a walk up window for ordering. I ordered a large pork sandwich with coleslaw and my wife the pork platter with yams and beans as sides. The pork sandwich could have easily fed 2 people and fell apart as I ate it from the size of all the ingredients. Not a problem for me as I appreciated the generous quantity to fill up on. I tried some of my wife's yams and they were very good as well. They also had 4 types of barbecue sauces to load up on: a sweet and savory, a spicy hot sauce based, a vinegar based, and a savory chicken and rib base. The spicy hot was too red's hot flavor for me to really enjoy as a bbq sauce. The other 3 were pretty tasty and my favorite was probably the vinegar base. Overall, a really good stop to fill up on bbq. I would recommend considering takeout from here as the park benches had a good number of pesky flies in the area who were happy to share your meal. Would recommend stopping here for some solid bbq! read more

Mediocre food but HORRIBLE customer service. I have a gluten allergy and called in advance to ask about gluten free options. They told me they had gluten free options, so we drove there and then at the window they told me all the meat options had gluten but I could eat macaroni and cheese (which is made of wheat!!!). They were incredibly rude when I said I'd called and was told there were options. They told me that cole slaw was an option. If you have food allergies stay far away. read more

If you like Carolina style BBQ, this is the place to go. It is our OBX vacation tradition. However, do not bother with the banana pudding. It is just banana flavored pudding a few vanilla wafers, and NO bananas. Very disappointing. read more

Best Barbeque I've had in years. Usually where meets are good, the sides are lackluster. Not the case here. It was all awesome. Only issue is there is no indoor seating. Coke slaw was great. read more

We visited Corolla Village BBQ while we were in OBX on our family vacation in Duck. It came so highly recommended by the locals is was an easy decision to stop in....and we were not disappointed. The best part for us was that all the meats were cooked in a little shack and you eat outdoors on picnic tables. No fuss, no frills, just great food! There were 6 of us, each ordering different items from their menu. I ordered the pulled pork. It came with beans, potato salad, and the best cornbread ever!!! The pork was simply delicious and perfectly cooked. I tried the bone sucking ribs that were cooked to perfection, as well. We all especially enjoyed taste testing the array of sauces that add to whatever delicious meat you order!! My mouth is watering just remembering the food and the kids still talk about their dishes. We will be back. read more

What a great place! We stopped by after visiting the Currituck Lighthouse, and we weren't disappointed! Great barbecue. My husband and my dad enjoyed the barbecue ribs, and I loved the burnt end sandwich. My mom enjoyed her barbecue pork sandwich. The macaroni salad was delicious! My son thought the macaroni and cheese was awesome. Overall great place! Glad we stopped. read more

Corolla Village Barbeque is a must-stop while on the Outerbanks! We got 3 Pulled Pork sandwiches with slaw on top. It's authentic NC Pulled Pork on a hamburger bun. We did not have any of the homemade bbq sauces (a mistake on our fault, but we ate in the car). They have a wide selection of coke products and teas to drink. To accompany our sandwiches, we got Mrs. Vickies' Chips (BBQ and Salt Vinegar). We got a Bumper Sticker to Represent! Yum! See Ya Next Year!! read more

As a new englander this is the best BBQ I have ever had. I love the vinegar based sauces that come with the pulled pork. Recommend getting the salt and packet to add to the mac and come slaw for a little more flavor. read more

After wandering around then Marine Forest Trail, stopped here famished. It looks line a barbecue shack, with picnic tables for seating. Food is served in styrofoam clamshells. So, if you're looking for ambiance and not fantastic NC barbecue, maybe find a restaurant somewhere. The pulled pork plate is fabulous. read more

Stopped by Sat June 10 at 2pm and the place wasn't packed but it was busy. Its back off the main road in a little shack surrounded by picnic tables. Really close to the lighthouse. They have a very limited menu and its inexpensive but good quality. We got BBQ sandwich platters which comes with two sides and cornbread. I tried both the normal Carolina style vinegar one and their sweeter sauce. Both are top notch!!! I also got a side of potatoe salad and macaroni salad. They were both delicious and the cornbread was sweet and moist. This BBQ joint really knows how to pair great sides with great BBQ! read more

Pork was extremely dry. I really wanted to like it but couldn't. Sides were good. Ambiance was fun.

Burnt ends, regular w/slaw, dripping with NC style sauce... it's a piece of heaven. Pro tip, stop over at beer garden to rinse it all down read more

The family has been coming here for years. Always a great place for NC flavored BBQ and outside seating.

We stopped here on a whim before headed out to the 4x4 beach and it was great! We all got the BBQ sandwich which came with plenty of meat on it. We got Potato salad as a side and it was delicious! The vinegar sauce made the sandwich even better. The flies were certainly annoying but to be expected. Would come back again!! read more

Incredibly unique spot that serves what might be the best Carolina BBQ I've ever had... and I've had a lot. Best bet is to call ahead. They get slammed around dinner pickup time. The food is always great, and they couldn't be nicer. This is an annual tradition for us at OBX. read more

Food was average. I ordered the bbq pork sandwich & the menu said it came with coleslaw. I was splitting the sand which with my little niece & wanted the coleslaw on the side so it was easier for her to eat. I was charged $5 for the side of coleslaw even though it said it came with the sandwich. When ordering we were never asked if we wanted the full side of coleslaw. When we questioned why we were charged for the coleslaw the customer service was very poor and they never offered to correct the mistake or apologize for the miscommunication. My $8 sandwich became $13. On top of getting charged for the coleslaw, the quality of the coleslaw was not good. I paid for dry cabbage. Will not be returning. Disappointed to say the least. read more

Owners were nice! BBQ and macaroni were fresh and yummy. They were helpful when it came to what ingredients where in their sauces as we had someone with an allergy. Cute place with great food. read more

Delicious and very quick service. So good we came back again two days later. Highly recommend

When in doubt, ask a local! Matt, our tour guide from Back Country Outfitters, heartily recommended the barbecue at Corolla Village Barbecue. While it seemed like a nondescript food stand with conveniently shaded outdoor picnic tables, I have to say, the barbecue is spot on. For about $13 you get a heaping platter of your choice of meat and two sides and cornbread. Every single aspect about the food was phenomenal. The ribs were juicy and the sauce divine (especially with a dash of hot sauce). The coleslaw was fresh and refreshing rather than heavy. The cornbread fluffy and cake like (the best of my trip!). The candied yams and potato salad were okay. So with the food and value at 4 stars, I do wish they had the ability to control the fly population out at the picnic tables... but hey, its a food stand. I guess it helps them "turn over" the tables faster! read more

Look, always one to support small business. At this point though, it's become a choice to willfully ignore any guidance on mask wearing. No employee wore a mask, which is concerning as this is food prep. Great bbq, but disappointing and likely won't return. read more

I was waiting to go to a barbecue place all week during my vacation. The service was incredible. I was sidetracked in a conversation, therefore I didn't hear that my food was ready. One of the employees noticed and got us all new food because of it. We ordered the ribs and pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was tender and sweet, and the ribs were practically falling of the bone. Next time I'm in the Outer Banks I am definitely coming back. read more

This Place is Great. When it comes to true NC style BBQ on the outer banks this is the place you want to be! The atmosphere is truly southern BBQ and so is the taste. This is a hidden little gem in an area they call "Old Corolla Village" and it's worth the drive no matter where you are staying in the Outer Banks. Remember this is outdoor Picnic table seating only.... But hey that adds to the character of this place. read more

We had visited this establishment years past and had always gotten take out. This place has always been basically take out with some outside tables no indoor dining. We had pulled pork, beans, Mac and cheese, coleslaw and some cornbread. The cornbread was excellent, sweet and moist. As others have stated almost like cake but in a good way. The pork was good moist and zero fatty bits. The sauce that came with the order was for the most part vinegar. I have had and enjoy a vinegar based sauce but this was too strong on the vinegar note not balanced. The mixed beans were pleasant tasting but in my opinion could have been more highly seasoned. The mac and cheese was bland but salty. I know this sounds strange but I didn't get any flavor other than salt from this side dish. The coleslaw was excellent! Creamy, crispy, enough dressing, not fine chopped, no sharp taste from cabbage from the core. I am a coleslaw aficionado so I have very tough standards. DH said there was a line when he got there at 11 when it opened so go early! read more

Ok...not fantastic 'cue by any means. However, the potato salad (Mayo based) was great!

No vegan options. They could easily add a vegan Jackfruit barbecue sandwich. With a huge population now eating vegan (no meat, no egg, no dairy), restaurants need to have options. My vegan family and I would love to come here, but we can't. I really hope they add vegan options soon! It'd be great if they did! read more

This is a small barbeque stand in Corolla but it is a little bit hard to find. It is in Historic Corolla Village which is about 1 block West of main road (Route 12). There are 2 dirt roads without street signs before and after the Citgo gas station on Route 12 that will get you to the little Historic Village. It is literally a stand, not a restaurant where you order. There are about 5 benches in front to eat there. In the off season (not summer) they are only til 4pm The menu is pretty simple (see picture) I had the chicken and ribs combo which was great. I didn't really like the sauce they give you with the meal but they have 2 sauces on the counter which I liked a lot better. There is a "vinegar" sauce and a hot sauce which were very tasty. So if you do not plan to eat there, then take some of those sauces in addition to the basic sauce they give you. The main reason for the 4 stars is that it was a bit on the expensive side. Compared to a restaurant it is not expensive but for a stand, it should be a little cheaper. read more

Sauce was amazing sides were really nice as well. Pork needed more of a smoke flavor for nc bbq nice spot to relax for lunch

A no-frills bbq shack in the heart of historic Corolla Village, this was a great late lunch when we were in the OBX. My boyfriend's mom's has gluten intolerance, but doesn't have Celiac's like her sister, so it's a bit easier to take her out to eat. Anyway, the gentleman working the counter was very helpful, even going so far as to pull out a reference binder of all the ingredients used in making the food. Worcestershire sauce is used in the bbq sauce, so be wary if you are super allergic. She decided to take a risk and have the ribs, which were falling-off-the-bone tender. I had the pulled pork sandwich with slaw, and we also ordered chicken, beans, and cornbread. Delicious! The fun part was watching the chickens wander around begging for scraps. They stayed far away from the tables when dogs were around, but the dogs couldn't be bothered and really wanted what the humans were having. If you are in the area, I would recommend coming early, especially if you want to order chicken. That was the entree that ran out when we were there. read more

It's a food stand with a shaded area of benches. Quite large portions. Really enjoyed it! It's next to a playground and a garden for the kiddos too. We got attacked by flies eating at our table though so would recommend to the owners to get some fly traps :-) read more

GREAT FOOD. Tacos are huge, and very well put together. Excellent. Service was good, fast.

This so called barbeque was horribly disgusting. We ordered a barbeque plate with ribs and chicken, Mac n cheese and baked beans. My sister ordered the pull pork sandwich.All I can say is that it was a complete waste of time and our money. The food was over priced, no seasoning, not even a hint of smoked or grill taste. The sides were no better, the baked beans were canned Orleans without the doctoring up that makes them baked beans. Everything was sold cold or at whatever temperature the shack was at. Everyone on our bus was disappointed that we followed the suggestion to stop here. The lady who took our orders wasn't kind nor pleasant. If you like food that taste like you're hospitalized, stop and try it. If this is a reflection of N. Carolina barbeque I'll pass. They can't cook at this place plain & simple read more
