The experience here was amazing.i sneezed and one of the workers said bless you .it was very clean and cheap.

We eat here WAY more than the doctor would recommend!!! The burnt ends sandwich is absolute Fire!! It's some of the most consistently tasty BBQ we've ever had, and you can always depend on quick service even when they're packed. 10/10 will recommend!! read more

Not much to talk about positively at Currituck BBQ as most things are either bland or just bad. The pulled brisket is just a wet sloppy mess that has at least some flavor from some spices but no real smokiness or some fattiness. The same goes for the pulled pork but even less flavor with even less spices being used. To complement the bland meats you do have a variety of BBQ sauces to choose from. The original is absurdly sweet and the South Carolina style has some mustard flavor but the vinegar and sweetness just overpower. The best was the North Carolina style sauce with some spices added in there but the overt vinegar taste can overpower. The chicken is just a rotisserie chicken, no BBQ going on there and is just a waste of a dish. The ribs had some nice pull on them and had a good amount of meat on them but the original BBQ sauce is just so sweet you can't taste anything else. The sides might have been the best things there, and they were still average at best. The mac and cheese was deeply cheesy and flavorful, but the macaroni is overcooked. The sweet potato casserole was very sweet and full of nutmeg offering a nice dessert side. The fries and fried okra were both very average with little flavor or seasoning. The coleslaw was a bit too sweet for me but it wasn't overpowering like most of the dishes. The potato salad is too sweet and had no other flavors. One of the most offensive things is the buns. The buns are some of the worst you can get, making the meal even worse. They almost taste like nothing. Overall horrible food and some of the worst BBQ I've ever had. read more

I didn't go in because the baby was asleep in the car, so I can't really give input on the customer service or decor. For the food, I had huge hopes because my husband told me this place has the best BBQ in the area. He got the brisket "burnt ends sandwich", Mac and cheese and beans. His was good. The meat was tender, beans were a good combo. The Mac and cheese was a 6/10. I ordered pulled pork sandwich and I'm pretty sure I got the pork bbq thats sold in those big white tub. The bun (which was different than the bun on my husband's sandwich) was awful. I had to toss it to the birds. The pork was fine, but again, wasn't the high quality I expected after his huge praise. Honestly after 3 bites, I didn't finish. Since his was good and mine was a bust I'm meeting it in the middle. I'll definitely have to try something different if I come back, but I might also just go down to Southland. read more

Really authentic North Carolina bbq. Chopped pork sandwiches & really good hush puppies. We agreed the Mac and cheese had really nice consistency but needed some seasoning. The sauces are really stand out and we also had some chicken chunks that I would suggest skipping. The sweet potato casserole was really sweet and a treat for sure. Location is between Chesapeake and the OBX so a little bit of a drive if you're in Hampton Roads, Elizabeth City location may be closer. To be fair we only had the chopped brisket and chopped pork for sandwiches. I wish it was more smoked but still very good. The location had really pretty outdoor seating so I'd still recommend the location if you're up for a quick bite. We didn't try any of the other sides so I can't say how they are but the hush puppies were absolutely amazing!!! For the price it was a good option for something to grab on the way home from the OBX. read more

Really good Eastern NC BBQ. Exactly what you'd want and expect in Carolina BBQ, smoky, salty and peppery with creamy slaw. Sides were excellent too. Great spot for lunch on the way down to the OBX from the 757. read more

The food was pretty good. Only one worker that we could see; the guy at the register. He wanted to know if you wanted to give him a tip and then they charge you a fee to use your credit card. We had to clean off the table where we were going to sit as well. I was not impressed with the service at all. read more

While the food here is good it's not NC style bbq. I stopped by to pickup dinner and placed the containers)no bag) in my cooler to ensure warm bottles on arrival. The cooler worked great all the way home to Chesapeake. However, my order was wrong. I ordered brisket dinner and pork dinner. when opening them I discovered two pork dinners. Sad. I'm out the Brisket and the extra$3.50 it cost. QC doesn't exist. So please check your order before leaving the store read more

Absolutely delicious BBQ! We drove from Chesapeake at the recommendation of new friends and we were not disappointed. We tried burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled brisket, French fries, sweet potato casserole, Mac and cheese, baked beans, hot dog, hush puppies, and potato salad. Every single meat and side was phenomenal. Perfect pricing, perfect portions. Service was awesome and they were kind and friendly. Building is older, but it adds to the small town bbq ambiance. Zero complaints. We will be back and highly recommend it! read more

On 5/9/26 I regret my visit for more than 1 reason. For starters, when I walked in I said "Hello, how are you today", to a lady refilling the bottles of sauce , who looked right at me as i said hello & she said nothing. Ok then...... we were 6 feet apart and I know she heard me. Then the young generation of kitchen help and cashier , were carrying on back and forth with their own conversation and not concerned at all with me standing there. My next thought was this place needed some adult supervision. These kids need some customer service training for sure. The food was so-so except for the mushy mac n cheese. I won't be back. read more

Food here is really good. Affordable prices, very polite staff, portions are average. Restaurant interior is old but clean, and it is a great stop on the way to the beach. Highly recommend. read more

Currituck BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

We were traveling back to Norfolk from the OBX, and though I was full because we had already eaten, I decided to stop and purchase a bottle of their North Carolina style BBQ sauce. The place was bustling and everyone appeared to be enjoying their food. I tried the sauce when I made it home to Louisiana and really enjoyed it. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely try some of the meats. read more

Currituck BBQ - That's my big ol' green tack - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

If you get the pulled pork sandwich, hushpuppies and fries it is PERFECTION. I could absolutely eat my weight in hushpuppies. THEY ARE LITTERALL THAT GOOD. The platters are not as good as my VA Beach local spot Im in love with so I will have to give them a solid 4. When we asked for Brisket I thought it would be a chunk of brisket. It was pulled meat. That is ok but I am spoiled when it comes to BBQ. They have a few sides to choose from. The potato salad is good but It taste like everyone else. Stick with the pulled pork sandwich and hushpuppies and you will be fine. DONT FORGET THE HUSHPUPPIES!!!!!! I'm hungry just talking about them. read more

The real deal for NC BBQ! No frills, just the way local folk like it. Plenty of seating, inside and out with ample parking and room for pets to take a nice break. When leaving the Outer Banks and heading north, hold your hunger past the beachy tourist joints until you get here. You will not be disappointed! read more

Awesome food! We're just over $10. I got a nice size portion of barbecue, slaw, and two sides. It was really good!

We've been to the OBX area several times and obviously have driven by Currituck a bunch, but for one reason or another never stopped. Enter a Christmas week visit and the fact that on most weekdays there are basically no BBQ joints/restaurants/shacks open in the Nags Head/KDH/Manteo area at all or for dinner, so we said, what the hell, and made the 50 minute drive to Currituck. There were five us so many combinations of meats, platters and sides were ordered but of course, I'm only going to focus on what I got because hey, it's my review. BBQ Chicken Sandwich - Mac & Cheese - Beans The pulled BBQ chicken sandwich was very good (all sandwiches come in two sizes with regular and jumbo) by itself but when the Larry's Original Sauce was added (sorry but I'm a Yank and don't care for vinegar or mustard-based sauces) it went to a level of great. Very moist with a lot of flavor. The beans are also noteworthy delicioso. Great choice to have the Larry's Original as the base for the sauce along with some sugar for a sweetening agent. The one turd would be the Mac & Cheese. Honestly, not much cheese flavor and it had almost a gloppy/gluey consistency. Four of the five people got it for a side, and all said it was a regrettable choice. Definitely no tourists in their past us and several of the locals knew each other and were talking like they come here fairly frequently which I after coming here I get. Good service, food was rendered quick, and the prices are reasonable. Past the slip up with the M&C this is a no brainer during future OBX trips and was well worth the near two hour round trip from South Nags Head. read more

EXCELLENT food .. great service .. easy to find location. Had to come all the way from Cali t o experience sweet potato casserole!! .. OMG .. pulled pork perfect and mouth watering mac n cheese. MUST STOP on the way to OBX read more

The food was very good. The staff was pleasant. The hush puppies were amazing. It was a generous amount of food for a good price.

I've been here twice now and I just love the place itself. Nice & simple menu, great atmosphere, love the outside and inside. But the food overall has been leaning average both times - with the exception of the hushpuppies, those are really amazing. I also liked their green beans and coleslaw. I asked for the slaw on top of my burnt ends sandwich this second visit and they said they only do that with pork sandwiches. I thought it was odd, since I would've paid to have the slaw on my sandwich. Kind of a strange rule. So, I got burnt ends on a bun. I didn't use bbq sauce so it was pretty bland without the slaw & I didn't finish it. I wish I got the slaw as a side instead of the Mac n cheese. Anyway - overall, I still like this place. I just wish the sides were a little better. I also thought the applesauce was made in house, but it's musselmans & full of sugar so I didn't give it to my baby. If you come, get the cheerwine soda. So good. Mac n cheese - 2/5 (My almost 1 year old baby would rate the Mac n cheese 5/5, though) Fries - 2/5 Burnt ends - 4/5 Pork - 5/5 Green beans - 4/5 Hush puppies - 5/5 Cole Slaw - 3/5 read more

Currituck BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

Found this place highly recommended on Yelp - just mediocre to me. We bought the Family Pack 2, which had a slab of ribs, pound of BBQ and 2 sides; we purchased an extra side. The potato salad, baked beans and Mac-n-cheese were all delicious, but the ribs, not so much. They tasted boiled and not good at all. The BBQ was good but we didn't like the original sauce at all and unfortunately, before tasting it, we doused the BBQ with it. This place was a one-time try for us. read more

Currituck BBQ - BBQ, with original sauce, and baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

Stopped by here for a quick bite while leaving OBX. We got there towards the end of closing time so we were rushing to order & eat before the open sign was turned off. So of course that was on us, I would like to come back sometime when I have more time to look at the menu & consider my options. Once we got our food we just picked the first bbq we saw. My friend also got the macaroni & fries which were decent. But overall we agreed we liked Pierces bbq in Williamsburg better but they have very similar vibes & this is still a solid option! I ended up just ordering the bbq chicken sandwich was reasonably priced but was unpleasantly supposed to find out they charge ¢.50 for a water cup, obviously not the end of the world but we were only there for such a short period I would've just waited to drink my water in the car if I knew. Another thing is they do charge extra for credit card payments, so I recommend bringing cash if you have it. Furthermore, I wish I saw before ordering.. there's a 5% off Yelp check in coupon, so keep that in mind too if you come here! As other people mentioned it's certainly a no frills place but a great value! read more

You call that pulled pork. No flavor at all!!! If I wanted pig slop I would have went to Iowa!! They DO NOT know BBQ. Go to Texas if you want some real BBQ!!! read more

So delicious! I've been once pre covid and then once post covid- both times were exceptional, and I cannot wait to return! I am not the biggest fan of their bbq (I'm not a big meat eater), but I love all their sides. The fried okra is delish, green beans were yummy, potato salad was good & flavorful, and the best part to me was their hush puppies & baked beans (if you like sweet baked beans, you will love theirs!). I cannot wait to go again soon!! read more

It's impossible to find food anywhere, at any price, that tastes better than Currituck BBQ. I enjoy the ribs and beef brisket. They also put a great deal of effort into the side dishes to make sure they're up to par. Very casual, friendly roadside cafe atmosphere. Service very polite and fast. If you drive past this place without stopping, there are no words other than you're an idiot. Fortunately for me, this place is six hours drive from where I live. If it was any closer, I'd be eating there daily and weigh 500 lbs. Shame on the jackasses who won't give them 5 starts. read more

The food was very plain and basic I wouldn't recommend honestly. Service was ok not that good they seem like they were treating us like we were slow. read more

Pretty good food for the most part. Nothing that really makes it stand out from average though. Seems like a non-chain homegrown Carolina BBQ restaurant should beat the pants off of chain restaurants like Mission BBQ. The inside decor is a little dingy and dated, but could easily be overlooked if the food blew me away. read more

Currituck BBQ - Large brisket sandwich, which left me wanting. Fries and beans were great! But this place isn't called Currituck Fries and Beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

I stopped here on the way to the Outer Banks in Dec of 2020, and you should stop here too. There is tons of outdoor seating. We sat at a picnic table in the sun because it was the coldest day of the season, but there is also a Pavilion next to a pond with tons of picnic tables. The 4" pork sandwich with two sides is what my hubby ordered. He got the sweet potato casserole, which he said was deliciously sweet, so it was his dessert side. He also got the hush puppies, which we learned you should dip in the mustard sauce. I got the 5" pulled chicken BBQ sandwich. Do yourself a favor and just go for the 5"; that's what my hubby wishes he would have done after seeing the difference in the amount of meat in ours. I got the yummy warm friend okra and cheese Mac N cheese as my sides. They were a perfect choice since it was cold outside. Oh, and They are a Pepsi place, so we got Mountain Dew. read more
