This Little restaurant is what America is about. Good food and wholesome people. They've been in business for about 20 years. The prices are very reasonable and food portion is good. These are the type of mom and pop shops the deserve our support and business.

I really struggled with how many stars to put for this review. I read alot of the reviews and could agree with some. However, I still wanted to try this place for myself. First, let me say how absolutely nice and kind the owner was. He went entirely out of his way to get up introduce himself offer me a cut of fresh pork he had for tomorrow's servings and it was off the pork ribs. Thaaaaat was phenomenal 😍 and I will be going back specifically for the pork ribs now. The owner/gentleman put all of my orders neatly in an easy to carry box and even helped me by carrying it to my vehicle. Now to the actual food, I had the pulled pork and it was ok but noooot smoked and super juicy or solid flavor profiles but adding their AMAZING carolina vinegar made it good. I was just down NC Georgia and FL

A genuine mom and pop restaurant that serves up excellent quality bbq. Small shop, but big on delicious taste. I already knew the food was great when I came inside and smelled the aroma of barbecued and smoked meats in the air; always a good sign. Their pulled pork sandwich is the best I’ve ever ate taken the title away from Gary Lee’s in Brunswick, GA. I only wish they hadn’t run out of turkey so I could have tried it.

Staff/owner were very friendly both visits and the portion size of the meat was INCREDIBLE!! The sweet bbq and pulled pork were both PHENOMENAL!!! Will definitely stop by there again when I’m in that area again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Having visited many bbq places Youngs BBQ has disappointed. Brisket ( like another review said) tasted like crock pot pork shoulder. If you like a smokey taste or seasoning to your bbq meat this place isnt for you. I prefer a cherry smoked flavor to my bbq ( off the coals in Easton is number one). Baked beans tasted strange and had little flavoring. Potato salad was good. Overall I wouldn't return. $40 for three meals which isn't bad! Friendly service!
