Collards were great, barbecue was good. Fries were nothing special -- a little soggy. They have tons of sides including some rotating ones. I should have chosen something different.

They were almost out of napkins when we visited -- said they had another shipment coming in the next day. Portion sizes are generous.

The rutabagas were delicious, & without the addition of a bunch of sugar that would ruin them. Perfectly seasoned! My mom had not eaten there in decades, She used to go frequently when she taught at Chicid, & remembers Miss Shirley fondly. Even though I grew up nearby, I don't recall having eaten there as a girl. Boy have I been missing out! Can't wait to return soon and have another generous helping of delicious rutabagas! It does remind me of so many of the mom & pop restaurants that used to oeooer the ENC. I frequented them with my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins & friends. If you're tired of big corporate cookie cutter restaurant chains, with food that all tastes the same, would like some traditional, sit down, old school charm, & a chance to slow down & revel in the nostalgia, I can without reservation suggest a trip to Bum's. Sooner rather than later. They'll welcome you out of the heat with a tall icy glass of their best sweet iced tea...and you'll know you're right where you're supposed to be!

Other than the prices and Wilber Shirley's absence, it really hadn't changed much in the past 20 years. The decor is "1960s eastern NC BBQ restaurant", which adds to the appeal. Service was friendly and attentive. Our drinks never went empty during our meal. The owner also stopped by to check on us as well. Our server brought us a small basket of hushpuppies, clearly just out of the fryer. While hot, the recipe had not changed over the years and were just as bland as always. Accompanying the hushpuppies was a small serving of some sort of sauce; it didn't had much flavor but I think it was supposed to be butter or at least buttery. My dining companion got the quarter-rack rib special. The ribs were meaty, very flavorful, and tender. They were good enough that the accompanying barbecue sauce really detracted from the ribs. The potato salad was as good as ever. The serving included 4 ribs for $12.50, which I thought was a very good value. I had my standard, the Pork Plate with slaw and potato salad. The serving of chopped pork was generous, but was too dry and over seasoned for my taste. The slaw was fine but unexceptional. The $12.56 price on the menu was a reasonable value, however after we paid we found out that we were charged $13.50. It turns out that the printed menus Wilber's provides in the restaurant don't reflect their latest prices on Toast. Our server did not mention anything about price discrepancies. The difference in prices doesn't seem like they are just rolling in the sales tax to the orders either. This is absolutely unacceptable and reflects a huge failure in judgement by the management and owner. Shame on you. All in all, our experience rates a four-star review. However, when taking the price discrepancies into account, Wilber's earns a 3-star review and that is generous. Restaurants need to accurately advertise their prices to their Customers, whether dining in or getting take out.

His wife and cofounder Gerri has kept the business cooking (pun intended). It's still among the best whole hog BBQ I've ever eaten - and I've eaten a lot.

Prices are reasonable (but be warned: this is a cash-only place). If you're on the way to the beach, go to Grady's. If you're coming back from the beach, go to Grady's.
