I had lunch at Allen and Son's today. It had been a while since my last visit, and while I’ve always enjoyed eating there, today was an absolute sublime experience. I still can’t believe how good is was! The pork was...

I am wondering how Allen and Son on 15-501 compares to Allen and Son on Airport. I know the former uses gas. Is there any point in giving it a try, as it happens to be conveniently located? David A.

I paid my first visit to Allen and Sons in about a year, and found it as I remembered it. The cue and the slaw were excellent (A); the fries, though fresh cut, were flaccid and soggy ©; the hushpuppies were oil-soacked and...

It does sound like prices have gone up but that isn’t unexpected given the rise in food prices. We tried to go to the CH Allen & Sons last night but they were, oddly, not open (no lights, no activity). We had a nice meal at...

Coming from Eastern NC, I can’t really understand the Chowhound obsession with Allen & Son bbq in Chapel Hill. It’s decent, but certainly not the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Is it just because there’s nowhere...

We are driving from Asheville to Raleigh on Friday and are looking for great BBQ for lunch. Thanks to some searching on this board, I think I have narrowed it down to Allen and Son in Chapel Hill and Lexington BBQ in Lexington....

Are they open on Thursday nights? I know they decided to shut down a couple of nights a week a few months ago. My wife and I were going to meet some friends there for dinner tonight. As I recall, they’re closed on Sun, Mon,...

Thanks for posting this. Grat article. I try to limit my visits there to once every couple of months but I’m thinking I may need to up myfrequency. Who knows how much longer Mr. Allen is willing to put in this kind of...

I’ve been to Allen and Son any number of times. The cue is very good, but everything else — fries, pie, hushpuppies — is pretty bad and the place is a bit pricey. That being said, one must return periodically if...

underrated, Karen replied Allen & Sons in Chapel Hill and Parker’s in Wilson. Of all the places to name...I thought that was very interesting.

The wife and I finally tried the Allen and Sons branch on 15-501 heading into Pittsboro. I found the grub remarkably similar to that served at the more storied branch on Airport Road. Same piquant cue (my wife says she could...

the best dad-gum BBQ in the Triangle is made by the folks at the Eno Volunteer Fire Dept. Unfortunately, it’s their annual fundraiser, so it’s only available one Sat. a year. :-( So if you didn’t get yours...
