Grady's Barbecue

Absolutely the best BBQ and fried chicken anywhere in Eastern North Carolina! The service is always great and this family run business is a true hidden gem. They are the only restaurant that I have ever eaten at that proudly displays a Golden A sanitation grade and have maintained it for over 20 years! No matter what you order it's going to be the best you've ever had and it will be served from the heart because they take pride in everything they do!

5 Stars - Absolutely the Best Eastern NC BBQ! Grady's is a true gem! The amazing pork barbecue is perfectly cooked and seasoned, everything Eastern NC BBQ should be. They also have perfect fried chicken with a wonderfully crispy coating. But don't stop there, the sides are just as outstanding. The sweet and creamy coleslaw is the perfect balance, the potato salad is pure comfort, and the sweet potato pie is the ideal, decadent finish. Beyond the incredible food, the people who run Grady's are super friendly and genuinely welcoming. You feel like family the minute you walk in. This place is worth the drive every single time! Cash only so come prepared.

Best Eastern NC BBQ I’ve ever had, best coleslaw I’ve ever had, tied for best sweet potato pie I’ve ever had. Fantastic people and spectacular food. I’ll be back, and so should you!

Great hole in the wall, old school, delicious bbq joint. Friendly staff, quick service, and did I mention delicious? Well worth a visit. 2024 NC BBQ Hall of Fame winners.

Well worth the trip. I had barbecue/ chicken combo and was not disappointed. The team here is super friendly. I am glad that bbq places like this continue to spread bbq happiness.
