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

We were pleasantly surprised to find a roadside bbq place with such amazing reviews. We approved of everything we ordered and the portions were big enough that many of us shared. 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

This a stop we make almost every trip to the obx. Ample parking with a huge outdoor pavilion with seating- covered and uncovered. They allow dogs here and there's lots of grassy areas. I get the regular pork bbq sandwich. It's plenty for me but they offer a jumbo if you're really hungry. The bbq is chopped and Carolina style (no sauce). They have plenty of sauce options if you want to add. Their fried okra is delicious and piping hot every time we order - love that it's freshly fried. Order to-go or take some of their ready to go side selections. Soda fountain, a few beers and bottled drink options. read more

Delicious BBQ, amazing even. But I wasn't impressed with any of the sides. 5 stars was for the BBQ alone.

With so many options in SEVA and NENC, I skip this one. While perfectly servicable, nothing stood out. I've had way better elsewhere.

Stopped in here on the way to the Outer Banks and picked up some pork bbq, fries, hush puppies and buns for dinner. They have a refrigerator case with some bbq and sides prepared to go. Super friendly cashier. There were several people eating in the restaurant (about 3pm) which is always a good sign. Several booths available inside. Would definitely stop here again on our way to/from the beach. Made for a perfect and easy dinner! And for our family of six, the prices are great! read more

Great little spot to stop for lunch on the way back home from OBX. BBQ is delish! I was not disappointed. read more

We always stop at Currituck BBQ either to or from obx. Most recently, my wife and I both got the pork BBQ platters. I even got an extra side so I could get the sweet potato casserole - which was amazing. We usually love to stop here for the outside seating and area for our dog to stretch her legs. This time we visited in the off season and sat inside. The restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Food is plated to order so the wait depends on how busy it is but it's always worth the wait. Definitely worth making the stop! read more

Currituck BBQ - Pork BBQ plate with coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Side of sweet potato casserole. - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

They once had the best ribs. Fall off the bone ribs. The last time, not so much. That was about a month ago. Today, they were just bad. Tough. Not much meat. Most of it went in the trash. It looks like a one-two punch of no-longer buying good meat and not cooking them properly. Maybe the tourists will keep you in business. I'm done. read more

Bbq is one of my favorite foods to eat. The hubs and I were completing a work errand in the late morning close to lunchtime. We haven't ventured out to Elizabeth City before...so Yelp to the rescue. Thankfully, the restaurant was in our vicinity, and it was opening in 5 minutes. They have a nice size able parking lot. Three employees greeted us upon entry. Two were in training and one was overseeing the orders at the register. I eagerly looked at the menu by the wall. It's hard to just order one item, so let's not do that lol. I opted for the two meat plate of chopped brisket, pulled pork with a side of coleslaw, and Mac and cheese. The plates come with two round hush puppies nicely fried. The hubs ordered the pulled pork big sandwich. There is an option of big and bigger that is noticeably large. The size for big is 6oz and bigger looks like 9oz. I could be wrong, but it will fill you up whichever one you choose. I would've just gotten the bigger, and eaten the leftovers on the car ride home. Sweet tea, banana pudding, and blueberry bread pudding was also ordered to end our meal. We paid, and chose a booth to wait for our food. It's North Carolina so bbq is vinegar based when it is being smoked, so don't go asking for hot sauce or spicy bbq. The food was prepared in a timely manner. And the employees were very sweet and kind. Pulled pork and brisket was smokey, meaty and juicy. The coleslaw was fresh, crunchy, with a hint of sweetness. It was not drowned in mayonnaise Yeaa lol. Mac and cheese was good, but wished it was creamier. The banana pudding was the winner for the hubs. I was only able to have 4 spoonfuls before he finished it off. The banana pudding was chilled, fresh sliced bananas with vanilla wafers on the bottom. The custard was light, and whipped which I appreciated. I've had some bad ones in other locations lol. The blueberry bread pudding was very tasty also. I highly recommend the classic banana pudding which is a staple in most households after dinner in the south. Overall wonderful dining experience during Covid times. Support local businesses!! We will be back:) read more

This is an overall great casual spot to grab North Carolina style barbecue on your way to or from the Outer Banks. We've been coming here at least once a year for the past few years and each time had a great experience. This spot tends to be very popular and hence busy, so be ready to spend at least a few minutes in line. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, with lots of picnic tables (both covered and uncovered). There are lots of bbq options to choose from (beef, chicken, and pork), including sandwiches and platters, where you can combine different meat selections (up to 3, I think), with your choice of 2 sides. That said, it looks like their menu selections have shrunk compared to the last time we were here, which was pre-pandemic. For instance, if I'm not mistaken, you can only get pulled brisket now (which is not my favorite way of having brisket), whereas in the past you could get sliced meat, including burnt ends. Perhaps this was only the case today, but I would call them to clarify their current offerings. In terms of flavor, the meat itself is good and you can add your own sauces to take it up a notch. Overall, this is a solid choice to have a delicious meal in the area and I'd highly recommend you check it out. read more

Currituck BBQ - Outdoor picnic tables - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

I've had bbq in almost every major city in the US, and this by far is some of the best I've ever had. I may even say the BEST I've had to date. The burnt ends are incredible, a lot of places can't get these right, either they're too tough or too fatty. These were perfect. All meat and super tender. Their sweet potato mash is delicious as well. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Make sure to try the peach cobbler too read more

We got everything from the pulled beef brisket, brisket burnt ends, rotisserie chicken, mac and cheese, potato salad and hush puppies. We also wanted to try all the different sauces so we took some of these home as well. I love hush puppies. First time to try these...TASTY. Very yummy BBQ. loved the burnt ends... done well. crispy on the outside and nice and tender to chew. I am used to a different type of BBQ since I am from Washington so not a fan of the vinegar. But I love the meat and mac and cheese. Glad I gave NC BBQ a try. read more

October 2022: what an institution! Having been coming to the outer banks for over 20 years I feel I have been gypped. I had never stopped here before this year and now it will be our tradition! The service was as quick as it could be expected to be and the food was delicious we ordered both a barbecue platter and sandwich. Highly recommend the pulled brisket but you can't go wrong with anything here. Highlight of the meal for me was the banana cream pudding. Yes, you heard that correct the best thing I ate at a barbecue restaurant was banana cream pudding. Go there. Buy it. You're welcome. read more

We went here on a Friday in May for lunch. We arrived at 10:55 and people were already lined up outside to get in at opening time. The line moved quickly. Service was phenomenal. I ordered the pulled pork bbq sandwich with fries and coleslaw. We didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for our order number to be called. Everything tasted great. We will definitely be back very soon! read more

We always stop here to & from the beach. The BBQ is true NC style & so good. It's a BBQ joint, so forget the ambience. It's all about the food. There is a large outdoor pavilion in addition to indoor seating. If you have a dog with you, there are at least 2 acres of grounds to walk them, along with sanitary pick up supplies. read more

I was not expecting much when I headed to the Currituck BBQ Company. Should a restaurant need to advertise on billboards? And when there really isn't much competition along the way from the Outer Banks to Norfolk, they don't have to be good. But I pulled in to the parking lot hungry and saw two State Police patrol cars parked and knew I'd do well. Cops know food. Simple enough to order at the counter (where they have a Square terminal) and grab your plasticware to wait until your number is called. And it was called a few minutes later. Pulled pork sandwich on a small bun and I chose potato salad and mac & cheese. The sandwich was excellent. Tasty pork that was moist and didn't need any of their three table sauces on it (or Texas Pete) but I put a little bit on just to see. The cole slaw on the sandwich probably helped and the sauce definitely added some zing to it. Potato salad was rather firm cubed potatoes. Delicious and tangy. Mac & cheese was more noodle than cheese and ever-so-slightly crisped. Very tasty and firm with a nice sharp cheesy flavor. Good stuff that way exceeded my expectations. It's not fancy and there's not much else around but it is good stuff! read more

Now that I'm (a little) older than I was going here for $2 Tuesdays in high school, I still love this little place so much. To be honest, their pork BBQ isn't the best I've ever had. It's tasty, but a little on the "mushy" side compared to thicker pulled pork. Regardless, the meal itself is just what I crave when I'm in the mood for BBQ. Today I got the mac & cheese and fries, both satisfying. The burnt ends (which my dad bought to-go for $10) are to die for. It's heavy to eat a lot at once, but if you do what he did they're perfect to pick on over a couple/few days. On this particular visit, the woman working was SO nice. Such a positive attitude which really made the atmosphere of the visit better overall. They had football on TV which was kind of neat. This place is where you want to stop on your OBX commute for sure. So many of us who grew up in Currituck look forward to our visits back! read more

We stopped by for lunch on our way home from our family week at the beach for a quick bite. The place was busy but the line moved quickly and the kitchen was fast with the food. There was one particular lady that was fantastic! She came from the kitchen and helped out the counter folks. She took care of business. I was so impressed by her that I asked to speak with her as we were preparing to leave. I told her that she was an amazing person and that if there was any hint of an apocalypse or a national disaster I was going to come and find her so I would know that I'd be safe. The food was awesome too. Pork BBQ with the best smoke flavor and my husband's brisket sammich that was tender and on point. Stop here people. read more

Excellent! Clean inside, super friendly staff and the food was great! The pulled pork on the sandwich was so juicy and flavorful, no need for sauce! But the sauces are great too! The ribs and rib ends were so tender! And the sweet potato casserole...Yum! If we lived closer, this would be a weekly stop!!! read more

Currituck BBQ - Ribs, burnt ends and pulled brisket...and split a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. Sweet potato casserole and fries for the sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

Got a recommendation from a waitress at a different restaurant. I've never had Carolina BBQ, so I don't have any comparison, but this is a very good place. Pulled pork was tender and tasty. Burnt ends were fantastic. You have the choice of North or South Carolina sauce. The Southern sauce was too vinegary for me, but I guess that's how it's supposed to be. Give it a try! read more

While I had passed this place previous years on my way to OBX, last year we stopped and wondered why we didn't stop those precious years. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and they even remodelled since last year. While this is a "fast food" kind of place, everything is made from scratch with southern love. The place is always clean and everyone there truly knows what southern hospitality is. This time I ordered the beef brisket sandwich with mac & cheese and sweet potato casserole. Last time I tried the fried okra and it was really good. They serve sweet tea but for us northerners it's way too sweet! But if you are into that you probably will enjoy it. They do catering and take out. It's the perfect stop to get out and stretch your legs, go to the bathroom and get a decent meal when you are traveling. I'll be stopping there every time I'm in town! read more

Currituck BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Barco, North Carolina

Heard a lot of hype. Fast ticket times, friendly staff. Food was... mixed. On the BBQ mix platter ($18) the pork BBQ was very dry, the beef brisket is shredded, not sliced (it was better than the pork). BBQ sandwiches for rest of family ($11 with 2 sides, each) were good, fries and sweet potatoes were amazing. Bottom line...good, not great, but very pricey...for the sandwiches definitely worth it, just skip the platter. read more

I'm writing this with a smile on my face and belly full Of fabulous goodness! We decided we should grab some Carolina BBQ while we're still here (when in Rome, right?). On our way back to VA, I checked Yelp to see what was on our way....Currituck BBQ Company was up the road and seemed to have good reviews so we said, "why not?" Holy Mother Of God...I don't know what they do or how they do it but it was hands down the best BBQ either one of us have had! My husband opted for the Burnt Ends Brisket platter with coleslaw and sweet potato casserole. He's lucky I didn't knock him out and steal his food because it was that good...as in "slap your grandma silly" good! The burnt ends were so moist with the perfect amount of burnt. The sweet potato casserole was just as ridiculous and the cole slaw was great. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich platter topped with slaw and the Mac & cheese and potato salad. The pulled pork was awesome on its own without sauce but paired with the sweet Carolina sauce, it was off the charts! The Mac and cheese and potato salad was pure down home cooking. I wish I ordered double of the sides! If you love Carolina BBQ and don't stop here, you're seriously doing yourself a disservice! We will be stopping on every trip back to OBX for sure!! read more

I honestly don't understand why this place is so popular. I went with a group of friends and we got a family meal with pulled pork, pulled beef brisket (yes it's pulled and not good at all), and ribs. Everything tasted below average and there was nothing special about any of it, in fact I could have had a cheaper and better tasting meal if I had microwaved premade foods from the grocery store. The pulled pork and beef were dry and bland, the ribs were not tender and cooked well, and the sides were nothing to write home about. The only good thing we had were the fries The worst part was how rude the service was. They forgot to give us some food items and plates and when we informed them and asked for them they were very rude about the situation and at the end told us, "we've already done so much for you is there anything else you are going to trouble us with?" Even if it takes me another hour or so to find another bbq place, I will gladly make that drive and not give this place my service read more

Love their BBQ . All their food is delicious . Good price and good portions . Nice place to have lunch with friends .

We drive by this place every time we go to/from OBX and finally stopped to get a bite. We had the ribs, a couple sides and hush puppies. It was all very good and we would not hesitate to stop here again for some BBQ. It is dog friendly with lots of outdoor seating (in the shade as well as sun) along with plenty of indoor seating. They offer quite an array of BBQ options, sides, sandwiches, chicken, etc. They also sell their bbq and side options to go (vacuum sealed) if you want to take some home with you. They sell their bbq sauces and Cajun or sweet spiced nuts if you want a road snack. read more

On each trip to the Outer Banks we enjoy eating BBQ. From our experience over the years, the Currituck BBQ is the best on the island. It's close to self-serve with order placed at the Outer and then picking up the order yourself. Food is consistently good. Turning left into the parking lot can be a challenge when headed towards the Outer Banks because if the absence of a stop light. When leaving OuterBanks, it's on the right. read more

First time customer, last time too. First, brisket sandwich here does not mean thin sliced beef on a burger bun, but shredded beef on a burger bun. Think NC BBQ sandwich with beef not pork. Basically pre-chewed unseasoned beef. Bleah! Next, I called in the order to avoid the COVID wait time, but they didn't start the order until after I stood in a long line first. So calling a order in was a total waste of time. Lastly, the lady running the register was in a nasty mood and fussing about having to work "so hard by herself". So naturally she took it out on the customers. I recommend Southland BBQ just 10 minutes up the road. read more
