Southern Style Barbecue & Fried Chicken

Stopped in for lunch today on a random trip to Clinton. Old school style BBQ joint with the detached dinning room. Serves fresh chopped pork bbq and hand battered fried chicken along with southern staple sides like mashed potatoes, yams, greens, and slaw. One of the best Eastern Carolina style BBQ sandwiches I've ever had!!! Drive through and walk-in service moved quickly. Busy lunchtime service today. I assume its that way as a routine. In business since the middle 1980's!!!

We spent around $50 combined here for 3 people and ordered a sampling of the BBQ special, large fish, chicken tenders, banana pudding and sides including fries, hush puppies, and green beans. We had higher expectations for this place due to the high reviews and business relative to other places in this area, but I have to say the food here was average at best. The chicken was soggy, the bbq was slightly dry, the fish was run of the mill and everything else was average. For the price you pay you won't be disappointed, but don't come here expecting a Southern BBQ gem.

Any time I'm in Clinton I always make an effort visit. I do recommend calling ahead and picking up your order especially during "peak" hours. They are known for having a long line which will take a while for them to work though. On-site parking is available, some behind the building. Also, a building beside the restaurant is available for customers to sit and eat. I ordered: - Small Fish Plate - Cole Slaw - Fries - Banana pudding - Drink (16 oz) My total came to $13.63. I was able to split this into two meals. The food ... no seasoning (not even salt) was on the fries. The fish by itself is bland as well - I usually hit it with some hot sauce/tarter sauce to spruce it up. The fish will have bones FYI. The coleslaw is finely chopped and juicy (which I like). But the banana puddin

Stopped by this establishment on the evening of Saturday, November 8, 2025 around 4:30pm. Super friendly staff working the Drive-Thru window, continuously apologized for the long wait & repetitiveness confirming our order due to a new Point of Sales system. Assured me that our order was correct, repeated several times and had the information written down correctly. Unfortunately, the 12 pieces of Chicken "ALL White" Meat that I paid an extra charge for was inaccurate. The box included Thighs & Legs. I tried to call but the vms mentions telemarketers, press #1 then disconnects. The establishment was closed on Sunday. I'm most frustrated & disappointed after being reassured the order was correct. Especially after waiting patiently in the long drive-thru line. I did not want to prolong the l

Stopped in yo get some fried chicken and decided to take it home. Going inside was way faster than the drive through. Chicken was juicy yet crispy but the sides were standout..beans, coleslaw and potato salad. Fresh, homemade and just delish. Saved my crispy hushpuppies for dessert. We definitely will be back.
