In Short – The menu offers more than barbeque and ribs, but that's what you'll see on most people's plates. The barbeque sauce--hot peppers, a bit of salt, sugar and cider vinegar to balance the fat--and unique hickory-smoked flavor is what keeps regulars coming back. Desserts like peanut butter pie and peach cobbler get almost as many raves as the main course.

The Real Thing
by TarHeelBoy at Citysearch
The stacks of hickory wood out back are the first hint. The tea only comes sweet would be the second. This place is the real deal. To be honest, I've never strayed from ordering the pulled pork, so can't comment on anything else, but it is the best I've ever had. Try to go most every time I'm in Chapel Hill, but they seem to take long vacations from time to time. Call before you go!

Good food, nothing fancy
by durhamresident at Citysearch
I've been here twice & have really enjoyed the food. The atmosphere isn't that great, but it's a bbq joint, not a posh restaurant. The Brunswick Stew is filling & excellent, & the barbeque is tender & flavorful... wood-smoked out back.

Did not like!
by beckadge at Citysearch
Had read alot about this place. Went there july 2nd 2011. Very dissapointing, dirty looking, sanitation rating only 91.0. Food was okay, nothing to write home about. I've had much better bbq and sides. It was pricey but that wouldn't matter if they lived up to their reputation. Maybe it's just seen better days.
Charlies bbq right here in Clayton is much better.

Don't go, unless your loaded.

I'm literally sitting in the restaurant right now, the portions are a joke. I just payed $8 for a snack. They won't substitute anything either. Seriously, don't come here unless you can afford to buy 2 over priced dinners to fill you up. It is tasty, but I'm only a 160 lb male and this is not even close to a small meal, its tiny. Not a good bbq house. Sorry.
