Fly from Miami to Raleigh-Durham with the primary goal of visiting a barbecue joint that's a…read morethree-hour round-trip drive away, located in a small town with virtually nothing else to see, and you'll understand how I view food experiences. There was a very real risk of wasting an entire day. Thankfully, Skylight Inn delivered in a big way. First, this is the kind of place that attracts everyone: police officers, construction workers, families, businesspeople in suits, and that's just on a weekday. That's always a good sign and something I love to see. Their whole hog Eastern North Carolina barbecue was absolutely worth the effort. It was incredibly flavorful and packed with texture. The crispy skin is expertly mixed throughout the meat, alongside moist pork and just enough rendered fat to create a perfect balance. Every bite had something different going on. The sweet tea was excellent, the slaw was solid, and the picnic-style potato salad hit the spot. The cornbread, however, deserves special mention. Unlike what most people think of as cornbread today, Skylight's version is made with only stone-ground cornmeal, water, salt, and pork drippings. It's dense, chewy, and rustic. No wheat flour, no sugar, and no fluffy crumb. It may not be everyone's favorite, but it's a fascinating piece of barbecue history, and I respect that they're still making it the traditional way. I came. I saw. I ate. Then I bought three pounds to go and grabbed a T-shirt on my way out. That's about as strong an endorsement as I can give. PS.....Walking the grounds is fun as well.

It was a Thursday and very busy but no so busy we had to wait very long. Just good to see all kind of people really for some BBQ. The food was fantastic and I loved the sides. I'm a big Cole slaw fan and this was very finely shopped up slaw with amazing flavor. They leave the crispy skin in the pork to give you these little yummy surprises as you eat. Plenty of room in the dinning area and a covered outdoor picnic table area.

Moore's is a local staple in the Winterville/Greenville community. They haven't been in business as…read morelong as other local barbecue spots but still have a reputation for quality food. I grew up on Parker's but have grown to favor the taste of Moore's My personal favorites are the pulled pork and bone-in chicken. The chicken is always cooked well with a seasoned crispy skin to enhance the flavor. This time I had fries, which were shoestring and salted nicely, and green beans for my sides. There's a dining room in case you want to sit and enjoy your food fresh. Dine-in service can be a longer wait so I always do drive thru for my visits. Give them a try if you're looking for some comfort food at good prices.

We got the pulled pork and chopped brisket, cornbread, mac n cheese, baked beans and a bottle of sauce (included). We felt the value for amount of food was great, and I loved that they included smaller containers of most, if not all, of their sauces so we could try them! The corn bread was great, a couple pieces were pretty dark but still warm and fresh. The baked beans, for me, was a highlight! They were so good, whatever sauce they're cooked in was SO good, I ended up dipping my pulled pork/ brisket into that instead of the sauces!! So good!!! Our kids liked the Mac n cheese, we thought it was pretty good too! Loved that the pulled pork came with no sauce, made it super easy to portion it out for my husband and keep it fresh. Thee brisket came sauced, but the flavor was really good so we were fine with that! Overall, we'd definitely do this once in a while. It was about $90 total for the family meal, which is a little steep for a regular family meal. But flavor was great, everything was fresh, and we very much enjoyed it and will have leftovers for days!!

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!

We got the buffalo chicken wrap, a burger and 2 kids meals (mac bites and mini corn dogs). The restaurant had 2 people inside eating when we arrived for our takeout order, so it wasn't super busy. The girl at the front seemed a little annoyed at my husband being there to pick up an order. We got home and were shocked to see the $6 kids meal was 6 very overcooked mini corn dogs and an applesauce and 6 Mac bites and an applesauce. Did not seem like a good value when comparing to other places kids meals (like jaggers). The Buffalo chicken wrap was okay, kind of soggy, and I questioned why there would be grilled onions and cheese in a Buffalo chicken wrap vs like lettuce/ tomato, and the fries were soft. My husband said the burger was also okay, not great. Thankfully we stopped at jaggers on the way home to pick up some sides of mac n cheese and fruit for the kids, but for the price I don't see us going back anytime soon.
