B's Barbecue

ALERT: TOP TEN ENTRY FOR CHICKEN NATIONWIDE. You know that you are going someplace special when you turn off the main highway and it's B's Barbeque Road that takes you to your destination! And B's fully lived up to our expectations; indeed, my significant other needed only one bite of the smoked chicken to proclaim it the best that she had tasted anywhere in the country. And this was the 359th BBQ stop in a journey spanning 35 states. We ordered half a chicken and a mountain of chopped pork, with sides of coleslaw and green beans to go with finger shaped hush puppies. Add in a couple of refillable teas, and the whole came to the modest sum of $18.50. The chopped pork is classic East Carolina, and so is the sauce. Since the richly smoked meat is already lightly sauced, you really, really want to sample it before adding more. The green beans didn't impress us, but we liked the hush puppies and loved the coleslaw, which is that cold, palate cleansing bite that we always prize when eating two or more meats at a sitting. How good was the meal? We went back for seconds, and got the last chicken about 90 minutes after they opened. GO EARLY!

Colleagues invited us here, as this was Greenville's best Barbecue. They did not lie. We had the mixed plate, with barbecue and chicken, which both were great. The meat was just perfect. The coleslaw was good as well. I definitely want to go here again! The interior could probably use an upgrade. However, as you go here for the food... The food was just great. They only accept cash I heard. So be careful, and go early.. Apparently they run out of meat, fast.
