How do we do it? A little down home love.

We cook all day and all night to make sure we have the finest barbecue you'll ever have. Just like the bbq joints you'll find in road-side shacks throughout North and South Carolina, our meat is dry rubbed and slow smoked by a certified pit boss. And our five different sauces are served on the side because we have nothing to hide. Learn more.

A Southern tradition.

It’s rich! It’s creamy! The Southern standby which is Banana Pudding. And wait till you try ours! We lovingly prepare it in the method taught us by a real North Carolina barbecue master. Dine in and enjoy it as a great cap to your dinner or take home 2 or 3. Why? The word on the street is that one usually doesn't make it home :)

Not just any tea.

Refreshingly authentic! That’s the perfect description of an Old Carolina favorite…our Southern Sweet Tea. It’s brewed on-site in small batches to ensure the most rewarding taste. It’s been known to conjure up memories of simpler times…warm summer breezes…family and friends. For many of our customers, it puts them in a different frame of mind. We wouldn't have it any other way. So stop on by for a glass or take home a half gallon.
