Eastern North Carolina BBQ

Shaw’s Barbecue

Shaw’s has been right here in Williamston for many years. It offers great food, and is good on the pocket book. They have other home-cooked southern fare also. Website

Boss Hog’s Backyard BBQ

They serve barbecue – lots of food- and many other things, extensive buffet. Guests rave about the food – try the ribs. Google maps

Hardison’s Carolina Barbecue

Jamesville – 12 miles from Big Mill B&B. Great southern food, really good barbecue and easy on the pocket book. My nephew Monk knows the menu by heart and he says to not miss the ribs Wednesday at lunchtime, but be there at least by 11:30. Google maps

If you want to sample more of the eastern North Carolina style barbecue, you can drive to nearby towns and give it a try.
