My place of employment (750 people) had a catered event 5/20/2026. We have one every year and the…read moreBBQ restaurants we've had previously have had more complaints than compliments. So, this year we tried someone new. Marty's. The food was exceptionally made. I ate things I normally haven't liked all my life, tried it, and fell in love and wanted MORE! My favorite was the BBQ pork! Are you kidding me? And then add their sauce on top.....COME ON......I was FLOORED! I am hoping with all my might there is some extra we can take home. However, I doubt it because everyone ate UP! The service was great. Very accommodating and professional. I hope we will continue to use them!

We were traveling south and were interested in sampling some BBQ for lunch. We came upon this…read moreplace and found it to be quite popular with the locals as there was a line around the block for the drive through. So we thought we would give it a try. The good news ... from what they had to offer, the food was quite tasty. The bad news ... the offerings were limited. From what we saw on the menu, it seemed to be mostly chicken (with a lot of it fried) and some chopped pork. Now I know this is the Carolinas so brisket may not be an option. But the pig is so revered I thought we would see that offered a number of ways, and at least see some baby back ribs on the menu. Not sure this place is named properly as I expected to see more BBQ than anything else on the menu, and that is simply not the case.

This was definitely an experience.

You walk in and the young HS or College Busboys/waiters are lined up waiting to assist. It has to be one of the most nostalgic things gs I've seen in a long time. The sweet tea is southern pucker sweet & perfect!! There's malt vinegar on the table for collards, and the NC vinegar based BBQ sauce was very good. However, the chopped pork BBQ did t really need any help, it was just as good on its own and not mushy. I even enjoyed the yellow coleslaw, it's a mustard & vinegar base and tasty. The Brunswick stew could have been heat hotter, but it had a decent taste with plenty of meat & veggies. I would definitely drive out of my way again to share Parker's with my 15yr old who missed this road trip.

Crowded at lunch time but we quickly got a table. The crowd was diverse, tending to be a bit older. 2.Pitcher of tea delivered quickly and left on table. 3 The food: chopped barbecue served eastern NC style. Very good with lots of vinegar to add on the table; epic corn sticks and slightly sweetened hush puppies for the table; green beans served southern style just like grandma made them; mustard Cole slaw, a bit too sweet but yummy and Mac and cheese. We inhaled it. 4. Great prices ; $10 for a plate. 5. And key to a great bbq restaurant: the ribbons of the champion hogs they, ah, bought for dinner. Not oversized portions, which is great. Clean and a great small town stop.

I don't live far but even after I got home the food was hot ! Love that. The deep fried ribs are the bomb. I got a combo with ribs and pulled pork. Not in love with the pork. I guess I have lived here so long that I am just use to pork being vinegar based and that sauce just didn't hit right for me, but it wasn't bad. The Mac n cheese was good and the green beans ...Ok Not seasoned like soul food green beans but Ok. I will say, the strawberry lemonade was delicious. The service was quick and the gentleman was friendly and polite. I will have to go back for brisket. I would definitely do again and you should give it a try too !! Deep fried ribs !!!

But lift the lid just a little and you'll find a remarkable beer retailer with an incredible selection of rare and impossible-to-find bottles. Long story incredibly short...

DISCLAIMER : I literally helped build the place…read more Food: This is my go to every Sunday after church. One reason is because I truly believe in supporting local businesses. The owners are both Cancer Survivors and local clergy. When it comes to a nice southern meal on a Sunday you can bet that they will get the job done. They have TURKEY BBQ, let's me honey we all need to eat a little bit healthier. This restaurant gives you the chance to eat good and live longer. My only complaint is that sometimes items will run out. In time I believe they will have a system to eke it's that or the communist will come in and support stronger so they that will have to urgency to cook more. Atmosphere : Jazz Music, Praise and Worship, Holiday tunes galore. This place is a nice, chill low key, quite place to enjoy your meal without the burden of being overcrowded or uncomfortable. Adding a little more color and personality on the inside and outside will make this place a staple and will show the to compete with the bbq giants of Eastern NC. Service : When they first opened I will admit the wait time to actually have your food was not impressive. Since then, they have a new system and have been getting orders out in a hurry. They are always attentive to FREE refills and depending on how nice you smile they might even throw in a couple of extra hushpuppies. The best service in Wilson County by far. There team makes you feel right at home Cleanliness : The restaurant is the cleanest in the 252 when compared to other bbq spots. Last I checked they were at 98. There are two big name bbq spots in Wilson and neither of them have above and 88 score so let that sink in. All in all if you love to support local and starter business then throw your support behind this one! Mcdonald and Bojangles have had enough of your dollars now it's time to invest back into the community! EAT AT BOOGIES

Super friendly service and a warm inviting atmosphere with table linens and seating that is nicely spaced to afford you more intimacy than most places. We shared a couple of the starters: Philly egg rolls and the spinach dip with fresh made pita chips. Both were excellent. We also had the chicken wrap, shrimp wrap, Cobb salad, and the chicken salad. All of the entrees were great. My favorite had to be the fresh cut and fried potato slices- whatever you order, don't miss those! It's a banquet hall and catering business but it does a very brisk brunch business and there were three groups there who were celebrating special occasions, so it can accommodate groups of various sizes pretty easily.

I'm not sure what to think about this place. I really enjoy Korean food, so I was excited to learn…read moreWilson was getting a new dining establishment that featured Korean food especially since it was endorsed by Guy Fieri! We watch the construction and renovation of the former Golden Coral location take place over many long months. Then when they opened, there were no announcements or promotions that I was aware of... it just quietly opened. After driving by multiple times, I decided to stop by and order takeout. I got the Bulgogi. The young man that took my order was quite friendly and one of the chefs came out to speak. He was very nice too, but while waiting on our food, I noticed the restaurant was pretty empty, no one else was there dining. Every one else there looked like staff except I was a bit puzzed on the two ladies at the bar area with infants. They were neither working, drinking or dining. Shortly after our food came out and I headed home. So when I eat Korean food, I expect bold flavors. What we had was very mild/bland, which was somewhat disappointing. Perhaps, I just came on a bad day.

It's definitely home cooked and gives that feeling. I could tell that their loss in February of what I can only imagine was like a grandma to them was still present in the book inside the entrance.
