I am going to be in Durham on Thursday and Friday of this week (Jan 8th and 9th). I’d like to try some local barbecue joints. I’ve heard of Bullocks and have heard mixed reviews. Have already tried Allen & Sons on 86...

Allen and Son has vinegar based, with no ketchup (eastern style). Its located on Hwy. 86, about 2 miles north of I-40, between CH and Hillsborough.

Go to Allen and Son BBQ. Its located on Highway 86 just a couple of miles north of I-40 (between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough). Probably a 30 minute ride from Raleigh. I guarantee that you will love it. Ignore those on here who...

I think Allen and Son does it. They are located near Hillsborough, and have excellent 'Q.

that she went to the DBAP for a game though. What places do you think she should have gone to instead? I think she should have gone to 518 West or 411 West, or Allen & Sons, or Rick’s Diner.

Allen and Son BBQ near Hillsborough does a great job. My wife and I had them do a pig pickin' for our wedding reception. Whole hog bbq, fried chicken and all the sides and fixins for $12 per person. They do have a 50 person...

Murray’s is good stuff. Not as much ‘smoke’ or fat as Allen & Son, so you don’t get clobbered up front with a huge hit of flavor, but you also don’t feel queasy after eating too much of it. Allen &...

Rub’s Smokehouse in Morrisville is def’y your best bet for all-around good 'cue. Good brisket, ribs, and pulled. But for the best pulled pork, in the Eastern NC style, I’d still suggest Allen & Son in Chapel...

in Carrboro, on hiatus until 12 July Allen and Sons, closed this week (per the NC BBQ thread below) any others?

ibid. Thanks so much for forwarding that article, D Hound. My family and I just visited the original Allen and Sons last weekend and had a tremendous time. I’ve enjoyed their Bynum location in the past (which is much closer...

this weekend. Was quite good, subtly smoky. Very, very lightly sauced. Compares favorably to Allen and Sons.

restaurants in the RTP area (within 30 miles/minutes) of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill or Cary still cook pork barbecue over wood (or even charcoal) vs. gas/electric? The ones I think do are: Allen & Son - Chapel Hill The Pit -...

Allen and Son or the Barbecue Joint? Thanks for your ideas.
