Headed to Raleigh next month. Where's the best place(s) to try the local
BBQ? Thanks.

I live there and I have heard that Knightdale Seafood and BBQ I have not
been there) is good. Cooper's Barbecue & Catering is also good. Look
them up on triangle.citysearch.com

Have fun

Cooper's is definitely the best-known 'cue shack in Raleigh. Not sure how
much longer it will be in its current location, but it will be there for a
while. It's probably my fave in the area.

The best-known "chain" out here -- it's not too awful big, but all over
the state -- is Smithfield. It's not bad.

Apex has Dixie Belle, which isn't bad either, I like all the sides they
offer in addition to the 'cue.

There are lots more around, but I've only lived here a year myself -- and
been travelling most of that -- so I haven't found a lot. To make things
simple, just start with Cooper's and see if anything else you find
compares.

To respond by email, make the address lethal.

Here's a list from one of the local weekly publications:

Allen and Sons (Chapel Hill) - excellent
Clyde Cooper's Barbecue - also excellent
Danny's Bar-B-Que - very good
The Barbecue Joint (Chapel Hill) - OK
The Q Shack - OK
Red, Hot and Blue - OK

Not eaten at these in a long time:
Barbecue Lodge
Bullock's (Durham)
Dillard's Bar-B-Que
Dixie Belle's Bar-B-Q
Hog Heaven (Durham)
Jim' Famous BBQ (Chapel Hill)
Lewis Bar-Be-Que

If you have time, it's worth a trip to the Skylight Inn in Ayden, to
Wilber's in Goldsboro, or to Lexington.
