What People Are Saying About Bullock's Bar B Cue
Featured Review

In Short – There's a line out the door, always. The interior is more like Shoney's than an authentic barbeque joint. The patrons are local hipsters, old-school beehivers and everyone in between. The menu is exhaustive, offering almost every Southern comfort-food dish imaginable. Apart from the tasty barbecue, there's fried chiken, meatloaf, spare ribs, and chicken wings. The entrees are prepared with the most flavor and care.
Editor's Tips
- What To Eat:
- Calorie counters best avoid Bullock's unless they like broiled seafood, which is served in abundance. Get the fresh flounder.
- Save Time:
- Then hit the grill counter at the restaurant entry and get it to go.

Great Food, People.

I have always loved the feeling you get when you walk into Bullocks, The building has so much history, I mean they have been in business and catering for 58 years in Durham!! The food is just as wonderful and I have eaten there around 10 times a year for 20 years and have never once gotten sick from anything I have eaten there. The staff are wonderful, they don't treat you like another number coming thru the door, every time you go you see the same staff members. All the cool celebrities, politicians, athletes, etc. that have eaten Bullocks and obviously loved it from the photos on the wall! I and many, many others love Bullocks BBQ and I know a few people who heard a rumor won't ruin 58 years. Check out www.bullocksbbqcom
- Pros: Great Food, Staff, Experience,Atmosphere
- Cons: 0

They reuse food??
by candyappleelixir at Citysearch
I have only eaten there once, we ordered the family style... now I am completely grossed out to know that they serve food that has already been on someone eles' table. What if they coughed or sneezed on the food? OMG, I don't even want to think about it. There is no way this is acceptable per Health Inspection regulations.. right? We didn't eat all of the first round of food and I felt bad about wasting so much, the server told me they would reuse it... I didn't believe them, I thought they were kidding until I read this post. I know this restaurant has been around for a long time, and I know they don't need MY business... so I won't be back.

Bullocks is the best there is. Recently there has been some bad publicity .Personally I ate here 3 times that week, I also ate there 2 time this week. Some of the reviews state they reuse food, this is a total lie. I am an insider of many of the employees and friends of the owners, the employees are not on drugs, they are hard working people doing a good job.There is no way Bullocks can police your carry out order or catering order after you leave the resturant. Come on folks.
I will continue to eat and feed my family here, o by the way, is it lunch or dinner time? Bullocks is the BEST.
- Pros: great food and staff plus LOTS of food.
- Cons: There are none.

they reuse food
by chhstiger2007 at Citysearch
everything that they send out to the family style meal...like brunswick stew, slaw, green beans...they reuse it...whatever is not eaten they put back in with the other food and reserve....it's nasty. they get rid of the good help...there were three girls that were young and were on top of things...they got rid of them and kept the people that are on drugs...don't show up or show up late and are high or hung over....and they are so slow when it comes to waiting on tables.
- Pros: reuse food
