USA TODAY says the best Q in North Carolina is....................

Any best of NC BBQ list that doesn't include Wilber's in Goldsboro is incomplete.
I'd walk to Wilbur's before I'd ride to Parker's. I just have to turn my back to that big arse wolf on the wall. Blech.
Skylight is the best I've ever had with Wilbur's a close second. I have been trying to make it to B's for years but can't catch them open when I'm in the area. There's another good place in Adyen call Bum's, they have really good BBQ and the best Brunswick stew I've ever ate.
Parker's and Bills no longer cook with wood, I've been told.
To me they are so close I would have a hard time picking but I think they are several eastern style places that beat them both.
If they aint cooking with wood it aint barbecue. Wilmington just had its first geniune wood cook barbecue open. Its a chain called dickeys and it beats the crap outta these gas places
Stamey's is good, but I wouldn't say it's the best I've had in NC.
BBQ Center was a favorite of mine when I used to work in Lexington.

Theres a newly opened Dickey's Bar-B-Q right across the street from the Wegmans I shop at . . dayum it smells so good too.
To be a chain its dayum good! Their sides are off the hook. Jalapeno baked beans, baked potato casserole, mac n cheese, fried okra...not to mention genuine wood smoke q. Their beef brisquet is smoky tender melt in your mouth goodness. For lunch i get their mac n beef which is their mac n cheese with beef brisquet mixed in. I just have to make sure i set aside time for a nap afterwards.
Yep. @mikeirbyusa is lucky to be a mod. If he was just a regular poster I would have destroyed him on that one.
Ayden. Same folks have also opened a new restaurant in Greenville (Sam Jones BBQ) which is very good. Has a newer feel and more menu options, including beer, but the 'cue is on point.

Tell me your kidding, please. And @Raising Heel, after all that good work you did yesterday you go and almost undo it with the single click of the like button.
JukeZ, have you ever tried Bum's in Ayden? They cook with wood, their BBQ is excellent ( but not quite as good as Skylight), and the sides are a lot better than Skylight.
I'll be heading to Ocracoke in a few weeks and plan on checking Sam Jones BBQ out on the way down.
I'll say this, Smithfield's is the best "Fast Food" BBQ I've ever had. It will do if you can't get any of the real stuff.
I can't believe you, of all people, poasted this. Places like Smithfield are the reason pre-shredded cheese exists.
Saying Smithfield has good cue is like saying McDonalds has good hamburgers.
I would eat S.C. BBQ over Smithfield's also but like I said in my post, it's good FAST FOOD BBQ.
I didn't say Smithfield's has good cue. I said they have good FAST FOOD cue. McDonald's don't server good hamburgers they server a fair FAST FOOD hamburger. The way I look at it, the fast food cue and the real stuff are two entirely different foods.
See I just don't see BBQ as fast food. Ever. It's cooking process alone doesn't at all fit the fast food model. So when you say it's good for fast food BBQ, to me you are just saying it's good BBQ. I suppose we could argue what fast food really is, but I don't think BBQ fits in that mold. Would you eat pre-shredded cheese if you didn't have a hunk of cheddar handy?
Smithfield is good because it's convenient. I eat shredded cheese, too. Deal with it.
There aren't any especially good cue joints in Charlotte, so my standards are low. It's like banging a 4.
Its been my experience BBQ gets worse and worse the closer you get to the mountains.
That's not a good comparison. You can always get good BBQ somewhere else. No need to eat bad/average BBQ. As far as women go, you can't get better than a 4.
