Hey all,

The Family and I are visiting relatives back east (& South) this
coming week and will be driving from Raleigh, N.C. to Jacksonville
next Wednesday..

Any suggestions for Barbecue along this route? Willing to sidetrack a
little off the freeway if there's something exceptional...

TIA

Hey Big Jim!

Well... we may... our time in GA is gonna be tight, what with my Wife
and kids never having visted before..we got a WHOLE lotta relatives to
see in 3 days...if we end up coming down to GA on Tuesday, then we'll
make a run for it. I'll give you a heads up if it looks like we can
make it.

How's things going btw...?

I haven't found any on that route that I really like.

Exit 20 in N.C., is Fullers. Went there about two years ago. Very
popular local place. Dreadful!!

Maurice's is Ok (can't remember state or exit, but I think its S.C.)

Frankly, I've given up. I hope someone else knows of one they like.

Of the four samples of Eastern N.C. BBQ I had while in the area, I
have to say that Wilbur's was the best -- if we first define BBQ to
mean a plate full of bland, mushy, pre-chewed pork with no smoke
flavor.

PS: Please don't top-post and full-quote. It's rude.

Kev-

I'd define that as most BBQ throughout NC (except my house).

That was certainly my experience, though I have heard good things
about Allen & Sons, which was closed when I was there. Overall, I was
disappointed in NC BBQ, particularly that pre-chewed texture. Blech!

Not too far off of 95, but well worth the detour, is a place called
Sweatman's in Holly Hill, SC. This is true old style SC BBQ. They only
cook whole hogs, the restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday of
each week, and still run by the family who started it. If memory serves
me correctly, they only serve from a buffet. And they cook only with wood!

John

Chef,

There is a pig joint at the Jeykll Island exit in Georgia. I have not
eaten there but friends of mine say it is good. Of course, I don't know
how much they had to drink before they got there. That's about all there
is close to 95 in Georgia.

Aub

There are literally hundreds of outstanding bbq spots within five miles of
that route, and the only bad ones are within sight of I-95 where restaurants
depend on visibility and tourism, and erect their signs accordingly. Their
survival isn't based on the food, but upon the appetite of the people in the
cars and the competing signs along the roadway.

Five minutes or less from the interstate you'll find restaurants that depend
on local business and tastes, and that means competition for quality and
style. Drive the extra distance into any town and check it out...

Ike

Hey, I think I passed this one when I visited Jeckyll Island last fall.
Will keep an eye out for it.

When I was in Georgia in Oct. there was a new little BBQ shack at the
kingsland exit off I-95 called Blues BBQ...guy had just opened and was
making great stuff...ribs were fantastic...
