I travel all over Eastern North Carolina trying all the barbecue I can Morris barbecue is in my top 5. The pork was very clean and delicious season just perfectly. The slaw and hush puppies were also some of the best I have eaten. I was lucky enough to get the only Box of skins they had left for sale at 9:00 a.m. I would recommend you pre order the week before you come since they are only open on Saturday but it is worth the drive from anywhere to try this institution. I cannot wait to come back and sample their ribs. Great job Morris barbecue you have a winner.

My wife and I were passing through the area this past Saturday. We have our usual spot in Ayden, but the last few times it just hadn’t been on point and my buddy Jolley had told me about Morris’. I’m glad he did because they serve some damn fine Q. Clean chopped and lightly seasoned the flavor of the meat really shows through. Classic slaw, nothing crazy like those folks in Wilson serve, just good old fashioned enc cole slaw that’s served as a perfect compliment to the meal. The hush puppies were hot, plump, and I think we ate a dozen on the drive home. The chocolate eclair stole the show though. The deserts alone would bring me back. I enjoyed it and looking forward on my next visit. Just did takeout so can’t comment on the fine in experience, but I’ll be sure to dine in next time. 10/10

Ordered 12 lbs of bbq for a birthday. Everyone loved it. They had it ready at the time it was supposed to be ready. So easy to work with and just so delicious

It’s FANTASTIC BBQ, great sweet tea, and some of the best hushpuppies out there, but one glaring problem and a couple other smaller ones are more than worth taking back a star or two. The glaring problem is that this is the smallest BBQ sandwich you’ve ever seen. As in, smaller than the palm of your hand! I didn’t even know there was a company out there that made buns this small, so the folks at Morris BBQ must’ve specifically gone looking for “how to make the world’s smallest BBQ sandwich” on purpose. The portion size is honestly insulting. It’s so small it would still be insulting even if the price was cut in half. A slightly smaller issue is the tipping screen at the takeout window if you use a credit card. What part of handing a bag through a door could possibly entitle someone with
