in Rocky Mount - check the reviews you see and see what you think - I know there are good BBQ places there but don't know the names of any.

back when I co-oped, that everyone called Grandma's. 4 tables, looked like they were stolen from an old Arby's. Sweet little old lady that ran the place. Frickin' awesome barbecue.
Of course, this was 17 years ago and she was old then. Not just old, I mean **OLD**. She may not be there any more...

Any time I'm on 95, I try to stop at a Smithfields BBQ

Its more fast food than most, but still good pulled pork.
Not sure where the northern most chain is... but Parkers is good too and would probably be where I would stop.

There are two eastern NC style BBQs places in town. The first one, which I recommend is called Smithfields. Here is the address: 670 N Wesleyan Blvd, Rocky Mt, NC 27804
The other one is called Gardner's. there are multiple ones of these, but out of those this one has buffet: 1331 N Wesleyan Blvd Rocky Mt, NC 27804
But like I said, the one to go with is Smithfields. Now I'm hungry

In Nashville, which is only a ten minute drive is a place called Doug Sauls. The address is: 813 Western Ave Nashville, NC 27856
They sometimes get a little crowded, but the food is really good.

I'm partial to Parker's BBQ...

It has been there forvever. If you go, make sure you get some BBQ chicken to go with the pulled pork. It is mine and my wife's favorite BBQ chicken.
Gardner's and Bill Ellis isn't too bad either, but I'm partial to Parker's.

Thanks to all. Of course any time I travel it is always

"foreign" BBQ from the style I grew up with on the lower Savannah River. I am reassured that in most places in the Carolinas that it is pulled pork and it is good but they might not have BBQ sauce, the hash and rice, and the hushpuppies I am used to. I know they will have sweet tea though. Looking forward to it tonight!
