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.

Simply the Best BBQ in NC
by Croqueteer at Citysearch
For me, pork barbecue sandwiches are the real test for Eastern Carolina Barbecue. I grew up on it, and my standards are high. Allen and sons simply has the best available. I get it with slaw on top and add some Texas Pete's for that extra zing. The sandwiches are large and are a problem to deal with for the first 60 seconds or so - then it gets easier. Wait staff is very pleasant and the sweet tea is very sweet. Seating is a bit uncomfortable, but I already know that going in.
- Pros: The BBQ Sandwiches
- Cons: Somewhat hard to find, furniture falling apart

Nothing to Write Home About

First time there is the last time there. Painful hostess, server who ignored us after delivering the dinner, and burned fish were only part of what made the experience something that made me want to stop by Harris Teeter and get their BBQ ribs on the way home.
Not only was the meal not good, but when we ordered, the server snapped (yes, snapped) that they were out of two of the items we had come in to get. Okay, I'm flexible. I got the fish. It was dry, burned and lousy.
My recommendation: Find BBQ somewhere else.
- Pros: None that come to mind
- Cons: Service, food, value

We've lived all over the country and our last two stops Norfolk, VA and Kansas City, MO had dives that were incredibly good. Expectations were high with Allen & Son. I first saw it getting lost trying to take a short cut and soon there after read the reviews. I've been excited to eat there for a month or more. What an incredible letdown. The rub which I think is the most important part of bbq before you cook the meat is terrible and quite frankly I've never had such dried out ribs (yet the sause was dripping with oil) and pulled pork that was so fatty. Maybe it was an off night, but $30 for a small serving of ribs, some pulled pork and some slaws--I'll find another dive.
- Pros: none come to mind
- Cons: tough greasy ribs and fatty pulled pork
