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.

It's been a year since my last visit. On a sad note, Mr. Steve Grady, founder, pitmaster, and BBQ…read morelegend, passed last year at the age of 90. 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. Grady's pork is amazing, especially topped with slaw and their Eastern NC sauce. The sides are incredible. The desserts look wonderful (have never been able to find room, but one of these days...). 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. If you're within 100 miles, go to Grady's. Heck, if you're anywhere on the East Coast, go to Grady's. It's that good!

You know; the little Mom and Pop joints that are barely getting by when compared to the large, franchise shops. The Sof-T-Shop is one of those places! I have been passing by this place at least once a week, for more than four years now. This past Thursday, it was past lunch time and I was hungry! So throwing away caution, I stopped at the Sof-T-Shop, and I am so glad that I did. I asked the nice lady at the order window if the burgers were good? She told me that if I was not pleased, she would give me my money back. Well.. there's confidence for ya". So I ordered the double cheeseburger combo, with fries and sweet tea. OMG! I have not had a burger that good from a restaurant in a very, very long time! I mean it people! Look at the photo of that deliciousness! Two tasty beef patties, cheese, pickles and Chili !!! yes.. Chili. Not sure why, but I've never had a burger with Chili. It's Good ! The only thing that could have made this better is if the beef was hand-pattied and had a good sear on them. But hear me.. I'm not complaining! And the Fries; wow! Such a simple pleasure. Perfect fries cooked in fresh, very hot oil that resulted in a crispy outside and tender-tasty inside! yum.. And the sweet tea was just as good. The Sof-T-Shop is just off of I-795, coming into the North-west side of Goldsboro, close to the Army reserve center. If you get anywhere near that area, it is worth the time to stop by and say Hi to the Ladies!
