North Carolina BBQ Trail: Eastern vs. Western (Lexington) style
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- A couple months ago we heard about the North Carolina BBQ Trail, which is a route across the state of North Carolina with 21 BBQ stops. We love BBQ, so we knew we had to try it! North Carolina has two styles of BBQ: Eastern Style and Western/Lexington Style. In this vlog we road tripped 3 hours across the state of North Carolina to try one spot for each style!

Adventures of A plus K Wow! I was born in Austin, and now live about 45 minutes from Lexington BBQ. I’ve had barbecue all over the state, and enjoy the various kinds, AND the hush puppies. Thanks for previewing it for other travelers.
We were so close to ya! And oh man, those hush puppies were absolutely delicious 😋
I live 30 minutes from Skylight Inn and we never get tired of it. It's the BEST!!
Thank you for traveling our beautiful home and getting into that bbq !! 🍺🍺
Wilson, NC native myself. Eastern !!
Thank you so much for watching!
is knightdale bbq still near there?
I love both styles of North Carolina bbq! The next time the both of you visit, you should check out the restaurant in Raleigh called the Pit. The Pit has both styles and it's amazing!
I am proud of this video!! I live in North Carolina, USA!!
That means so much to us, thank you! Where in NC do you live? We plan to be back this fall!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We live in Waxhaw, NC. Just like you guys We love to explore different places and try their foods.
Oh cool! I haven’t heard of Waxhaw before! And eating when traveling is the best!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It’s near Charlotte City. God bless your trip.
@@jerlyncas8830 Indian trail here. Small world
I grew up in Lexington, now I live in Shelby (another great BBQ town). Everyone seems to go to the Monk when they visit Lexington- guess it’s just the fame. My preference was alway Backcountry BBQ or the BBQ Center. Great vid you two did a great job. Couple things, the sauce in the bottle at the Monk is not representative of Lexington style dip which is thin, bright red in color and opaque. It is
poured over the meat and used to make the red slaw. Also, with all NC BBQ the slaw is not really a side item, it is intended to be paired with the meat with each bite. The tanginess of the slaw compliments the sweet and smoke of the meat.
We will have to try those spots next time! Picking which ones to visit was SO hard and we could’ve kept going but our wallet said no 😜 We really like the slaw + meat combo (vs. by itself). We will have to eat it more like that next time. Thanks for the local insight!
Adventures of A plus K and if you ever get to Shelby stop by Bridges, Red Bridges (no relation) or The Flying Pig. Interesting story on how the Lexington style spread through Western NC: Both of the Bridges from Shelby apprenticed under Warren Stamey (Stamey’s BBQ) in Lexington. When returning to Shelby and starting their own establishments, they put their own spin on the style, taught others where it spread through the mountain communities eventually becoming known as the western style of NC BBQ. At least that’s how legend has it anyway. 😀
That is so awesome! We definitely will! Thank you so much for the tips!!
Last time I was in that area (my family is all through Polk and Rutherford county) I couldn't find good western style anywhere. I'll have to make my way to Shelby next time I'm down that way and try the Flying Pig.
I agree! Monks isn’t my favorite (still good!) because of the sauce. BBQ all the way!
Eastern BBQ ain't nothing but the truth- try Nixon's BBQ in Edenton NC- excellent!!
Ooo gonna have to try that!
Nixon's is good, but Captain Bob's in Hertford is way better. Besides, Nixon doesn't use charcoal, and they are more focused now on their catering business than their buffet, which is hardly ever open.
Nixon's is really good. I agree.
@@AdventuresofAplusK I'm sticking with North Carolina well become to live in North Carolina
I learned how to do pork there in Perquemmins County. Slaw and all.
Love Lexington style. Red slaw and hush puppies !
I'm from Lexington, NC and I think you would really enjoy our BBQ festival we have it every year in the fall. I'll have to try eastern style now it definitely looked delicious and y'all seemed to have a good time. The two biggest rivalries inside of our great state are BBQ and Basketball so I am all for watching someone explore either of those rivalries from an outside perspective. 😂
BBQ festival sounds RIGHT up our alley! And it was fun to try the rivaling styles of BBQ and hear people's opinions in the comments!
The best is Lexington Sailsbury Bar B Que that is pit-cooked and brown chopped on a plate and dip none on meat but on the side, and lean chopped is good on a sandwich, Smokey Joe's is good in Lexington.
I went to Skylight inn BBQ yesterday 4 the first time ever. LOVED IT . Worth the trip. Even happier to know Sam Jones is right down the street from where I live. I thought the cornbread was great!
So glad you enjoyed it! We loved it too!
next time you’re in lexington, make sure to try out backcountry bbq, bbq center or speedys. if you go a little further south to salisbury, the smoke pit is AMAZING.
I really enjoyed watching this vlog...loved everything from the intro when you start the van up to the outtakes at the end! You two always make me smile and it’s so heart warming for me to see how happy your travels make you. Glad to have you back in Austin safe but I do want to see you continue your travels soon so I can live through you! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶
We’re glad you enjoyed it! Even as a non meat eater 😉 We are happy to be here in Austin, but we’re excited to see what adventures we will get to have whenever this craziness ends!
We have lived in Greenville (right outside of Ayden and have family there) and we have lived in Clemmons (right outside of Lexington) and eaten both types of BBQ. We LOVE the Starlight Inn!! We knew you had to pick that as an option for EAstern BBQ as soon as you said you were trying both places. It always wins out for us, but we also love Lexington Style :). Bs BBQ in Greenville is another one we like a lot!
Oh man Skylight was SOOO good! Both styles were awesome and it was a ton of fun trying both. We will have to visit B’s BBQ next time! 🙌🏼
Next time you're in NC you HAVE to make it down to Shelby and go to Red Bridges BBQ. Definitely try the red slaw with the meat! You haven't had the best until you've gone there. They also have the BEST hushpuppies!
We'll add it to the list! Thanks for the tip, Linda!
Yes! Eastern Style! You picked the right one! haha! Great video guys!
Woo! Glad y’all are on team Eastern! 🙌🏼 Thanks so much for watching 😄
You two always put a smile on my face.I just want you to know that I am praying for you every day. I have included you on my prayer list.
Thank you so much Ron! We hope you are staying safe during this difficult time! 💕
We are doing good. My wife and I run the Bread Of Life ministry at Landmark Church Cincinnati.We are currently doing our food pantry on a drive through basis. We will be helping families today.
Way to go, that is amazing!!!
I am still praying for you daily!
Thank you Ron! We hope you’re still doing well! 🤗
We’ve eaten at The Skylight many times as we live in Winterville, enjoy!
It’s soooo good!
I am a new subscriber and thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm from the Eastern part of the state and Skylight Inn is my absolute favorite place to eat. I ate there today, in fact. Thank you for trying "our" style. You picked a great one to try!
Thank you so much for watching and for joining us on our adventure! 🤗 We sooo wish we had eaten there today too, we loved Skylight Inn so much! 😋 Any other good Eastern spots we should check out next time?
@@AdventuresofAplusK I'll give you some!
Upscale and delicious - Chef and the Farmer (Kinston, NC) *Award winning celebrity chef Vivian Howard who has had a couple of tv shows on PBS*
Seafood - Holland's Shelter Creek Restaurant (Holly Ridge, NC) *near Topsail Island, Wilmington*
Delicious country comfort food - Mike's Farm (Beulaville, NC) *Plan ahead on this one..best time to visit is near Christmas...arrive not long after they open..and you will have the best macaroni and cheese of your life).
Eastern style BBQ - Wilbers (Goldsboro, NC)...Sid's BBQ (Beulaville, NC - Saturday mornings only).
Ahhh you're the best!!! This is amazing! We cannot wait to get back and try these spots 😋
You should have mixed the slaw with the meat. On a sandwich you typically find pork topped by the slaw, and you add sauce on top. The white slaw is mayonnaise-based, the red slaw is vinegar-based, which accounts for the tang you noted.
Thank you for the tips Robert! The pork + slaw was definitely a good combo! 😋😋
Buns BBQ in the small town of Windsor, NC has eastern BBQ taste and their slaw is AMAZING because it is NOT SWEET, rather zingy and refreshing. It’s a no-frills hole in the wall kind of place, but man is it so good!!!
Ooo gonna have to try that out! Love the Eastern style and a not sweet slaw sounds more up our alley! Thank you for the tip!
Born & raised on the east side, I've lived on the west side for years now. Both are good depending on where you go. Lots of really good hole in the wall places. I prefer eastern style. Being from Johnston county, there's a few Smithfields BBQ around & they're good. It's all good though lol.
Thank you for the suggestion! And we agree--BBQ is almost always solid, regardless of the style.
I love BBQ, and travel all over the world trying it. I must say, with all the places I've been, East Carolina style is still my favorite.
I didn't think i'd ever post a comment like this, but it's 2 a.m, i've had a few drinks-- so lets go. Lexington style is good, there's no doubt. The slight tomatoe-y acidity works, but most of the time they make it too sweet! Plus, it's similar to other states style of bbq in that regard. Take East NC style, it has that acidity to cut the richness of the pork fat--crushed red peppers to give that bit of spice. Add coleslaw for the crunch and a bun (I like rye bread myself) and it's just perfection. There's just no comparison from any other state on the uniqueness of East NC bbq.
Awesome explanation! We loved East the best too! The acidity is perfect! 👌🏼
Parkers bbq in Wilson is delicious
Skylight is the only Eastern style place that does that with cornbread.. everybody else does hushpuppies and has fries, etc... that's what I grew up with in Goldsboro, which is on your bbq trail map.. also you left off the other huge component to ENC style.. which is bbq chicken. it's not what you think. I always get the combo plate...
If you ever head back to eastern bc, I highly recommend Wilburs BBQ in Goldsboro NC. I’m from there and always love it. Always.
Thanks for the suggestion!
From an eastern NC local...if you ever come back, try eating a little bit of the slaw at the same time as the BBQ. The eastern slaw is pretty sweet on its own, but it's often meant to be eaten with the zingier BBQ at the same time, often on a sandwich. You might also find the Pig in a Puppy at King's BBQ interesting...eastern style BBQ and coleslaw served as a sandwich but instead of a typical bun, they use an hamburger bun sized hushpuppy hollowed out and filled with the bbq/slaw.
We definitely will try that combo next time! It sounds like they’d go super well together that way. And a hush puppy bun??? Count us in on that one! 🤩
I was thinking the exact same thing. A little BBQ and a little slaw together is the perfect combination. I am definitely a fan of Eastern style but probably because I grew up eating it.
Absolutely and typically even in eastern Carolina we have hush puppies and not the flat cornbread
You have to try Parker's in Wilson it's the best bbq in America
Ooo we will have to next time we are in NC!
Yes, Parkers on hwy 301 in Wilson! Order it "family style". They bring bowls of BBQ, fried chicken, and sides based on the number of people at the table, then you can just fill your plate with what you really want.
Absolutely
I was watching this one too see if I recognized any of the BBQ places (and to get recommendations) but I did a double take when y'all stopped at Jubala because my son works there. Then we did a triple take when we realized that he's the kid in the black shirt in the kitchen after you first walk in. Great video!
No way!!! That’s so cool! 😱🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK I didn't even notice at first, but I called him down to watch the video and he was like "Oh yeah, there I am". And then we laughed way louder and longer than was warranted because we've been suck in the house for more than a week and we're all going a little stir crazy.
Hahahahah that is amazing! We have had many of those "laughed way more than we should" moments since being trapped inside!
I love watching your videos, hope you guys are keeping yourself safe.
Thank you! We are back in Austin now and laying low inside my parent’s house. We hope you’re staying safe too! ❤️
We are from NYC and have never visited NC before. Sounds like it is worth to make a trip there for some delicious BBQ!!
NC is a beautiful state! Lots of mountains and cool little towns. And great BBQ!
@@AdventuresofAplusK yes yes hopefully when this is all over! :)
It’s 11:00 p.m. and after watching this, I’m craving some BBQ! Always one of my favorite meals, What a fun video. Thanks guys! 👍
Gahhh the worst time to have a BBQ hankering!
I grew up in Winston-Salem NC. Favorite barbecue spot by far was Mr. Barbecue on Peters Creek Parkway. They're still around, so if you're ever back that way, you won't be disappointed. Also, you need to try another North Carolina staple--Cheerwine. They have it in the fountain at Mr. Barbecue.
Awesome! I’ll save it for next time. Thanks!
I have also done bullocks in Durham, Stephensons in willow springs, time out sports in chapel hill as well as the pit in Raleigh.
You made me very hungry and now I need to go eat! Thanks for the look at both styles!
Hahahah we unfortunately tend to cause hunger! We hope you ate something delicious!
@@AdventuresofAplusK meh, lol
Nothing Better than Skylight!!!
We loved it sooo much!
In my area, the “go to” BBQ places are Interstate BBQ in Memphis and…Stubby’s and McClards in Hot Springs, AR.
Ooo good to know for when we make it that way!
This was an awesome video 👏🏻👍
Thank you!
You can get hushpuppies and all the same sides at eastern style Q restaurants too. Add some Brunswick stew, fried okra, and banana pudding to complete your feast. I too like hushpuppies better than corn bread, and many eastern style places serve them...sometimes bottomless amounts. For a Q sandwich, put eastern style + the slaw on a steamed burger bun! Heaven in a sandwich!
You’re making us hungry John! That all sounds amazing!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Trust! It is! Oh, and you were walking through my university in that video too! You were passing my program's main building as well. :-)
It's a really nice campus from what we saw! Always fun to see different campuses while we travel!
Enjoyed!!
Now I'm hungry for pork BBQ, but everything is closed!!!!
Thanks for a great time!! Stay safe everyone 😊🍁
We’re hungry again too! We may have to try to recreate this meal at my parent’s house during our break here. Stay safe! 💕
I agree with the Eastern NC BBQ being the best. There are so many other good ones like B's BBQ in Greenville NC and Moores in New Bern. The reason it is better I think is because the Lexington style is not too different from BBQ anywhere else in the USA. However, Eastern NC BBQ is truly unique and you just don't get that taste and experience anywhere else.
It's actually B's.
@@killerseddie8295 yep fixed it thanks!
I’m not a huge fan of pork but that looked outstanding 👌the smell in the kitchens must have been delicious , loved the chefs accent super friendly too , in the U.K. we call the crunchy bits crackling ,got me craving pork now 😁, great job guys 👍👏👏👏👏👏
Oh my gosh the crunchy bits were the best!!! And the guy working the pit was so nice-the southern hospitality we experienced the whole day was incredible. We still can’t believe they let us back there! 🙌🏼
We put Cracklins in the corn bread here in N.C. too. We smoke a pork butt for 12 hours(depending on weight) use yellow mustard as a binder then a Basic BBQ rub and smoke at 225 for 12 hrs. When the bone pulls free with no resistance it's done. BBQ sauce apple cider vinegar, red peppers flakes,salt, pepper, brown sugar,and ketchup.
Two words... DUH. AMMMM!!!!
And... you have made us hungry! Great work guys. Enjoy being home.
Hahaha this little break is actually going to be a good chance for us to slow down on eating 😅😅
@@AdventuresofAplusK 🤣🤣
Skylight is definitely the OG of eastern NC BBQ but next time you're around please try:
Morris BBQ in Hookerton, NC (Only open on Saturdays), B's BBQ in Greenville, NC
& Ole time smokehouse food truck & catering in Snow Hill, NC
Thanks for the tips!
Working my way chronologically through your videos! I’m from originally from near Lexington and now live in Raleigh. They’re are SO many great places that aren’t on the “bbq trail.” Happy to share even better restaurants for the next time you’re in the state! (The Triangle is such a foodie area - I could lead you on an awesome tour!)
We always welcome recommendations! Thanks and thanks for watching!
A good looking bbq tour!
It was such a fun day driving all around!
Since I’m from Cleveland county NC I’m partial Lexington style. Since our local restaurant Red Bridges was trained by the Monk family it is an institution here.
Actually my problem with Eastern NC style is more of the slaw, instead of the sauce. If they offered the BBQ “red” slaw then it wouldn’t be as big of a letdown.
Thanks for sharing! We love it all and we're glad we got to try both styles. Thanks for watching!
You guys need to go to Moore's , eastern NC all day
We will have to try it next time! Love Eastern NC BBQ!
Born and raised in the Charlotte area but moved to Florida 5 years ago. Some BBQ places down here try to claim Carolina style BBQ but its never right and its so disappointing. Im making my own real BBQ tomorrow and cant wait. Definitely will be Lexington style with the red slaw.
It's really hard to find good BBQ outside of the great BBQ states and cities! We miss TX BBQ whenever we aren't in TX!
The sweet slaw mixes well with the barbecue!
I can't believe you were in Raleigh and only got coffee. The Pit in Raleigh is the best bbq in the world in my opinion. And I have been to the Lexington bbq festival.
East bbq is the bomb, lotta people don’t like the vinegar base because they just aren’t used to it. Pleasantly surprised with the choice
Western/Lexington style is more of a Piedmont thing. The farther west you go in NC, it's usually sweeter. It's like there's 3 different sauces.
The sauce cuts it perfect,, the fat in pork needs that. I live in southeast n.c.. as southeast as it gets. Wilmington N.C. ,great food, great people. Shrimp and grits.. pulled and chopped pig.. so many awesome foods and styles. 😊❤❤❤ love the review. ❤ 15:36
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Try the Alabama BBQ Trail. Starts up in Huntsville all the way down to Mobile and Gulf Shores.
Sounds amazing, we'd love to!
While still a relatively new restaurant, Camel City BBQ Factory in Downtown Winston Salem has phenomenal eastern style BBQ. Though, they also do their own spin on Brisket, ribs, sausage and even smoked chicken! I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are ever in the area!
Oooo thanks for the tip Joseph!
Love your videos
Thank you so much for watching Andrew!
I prefer Eastern style bbq, but not a fan of tomato products lol. so it makes sense. Corn bread, I make my own with Jiffy mix and creamed corn. It Makes sure the cornbread is moist.
Little Pigs barbecue in Statesville has been in operation since 1961 and the chop the barbecue as you order it right at the counter. Their sauce is mostly vinegar and it too is whole shoulder.
Sounds delicious! I'd love to check it out one day
😂Ayden's Skylight Inn\ Jones BBQ=OMG Ssoo Good. Once you try it you'll never forget it 😋 BBQ & chip's of crispy skin. Oh yeah! Eastern NC 100 percent
That's some gooood stuff!
Which of the sauces did you prefer?
We aren't big ketchup fans so we preferred the sauce at Skylight Inn!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks for the answer. I'll have to try the eastern NC sauce sometime. I've only had the western
Eastern North Carolina is were all of my maternal grandfather's family , Is from. And I have to say that really enjoy west Carolina style. I enjoy the Eastern style the most.
Yay for team eastern!
You could stop in goldsboro and get all the real BBQ you could want. Ayden native , and we have at least 2 of the best places in the state.
Yummy! Looked good. Not Texas BBQ but, I guess you had to work with what you had! LOL
Hahaha Texas BBQ is still our #1! But we gotta say, North Carolina BBQ exceeded our expectations!
Yall texans stick to ur beef and leave the pork to us carolinians.
Yer supposed to get two pieces of cornbread and out the bbq in between and go to town!
Next time! 😋
Short Sugars Pit Bar-B-Q Reidsville n.c is the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’ll have to try it next time! Thanks!
Do you have plans to go back to North Carolina in 2023?
Eastern for me.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Eastern North Carolin BBQ wins! Oh yeah.
Both are good stuff!
Red slaw if you’re eating the meat outside the bun. Mayonnaise slaw if it’s a sandwich. Vinegar based sauce only for good barbecue
Ok good to know! Thanks!
Nothing but the eastern north carolina
We loved Eastern!
Where are you guys originally from? Thanks for enjoying our local barbecue!
We are from Austin, Texas!
Looks so good! Omg skylight right?
We looooved skylight inn! We really wish we would’ve grabbed some to go!
Be safe Guys-Eat Well!
Thanks William! Stay safe and healthy! 🤗
Vinegar-based BBQ. (14:50)
1:20 Skylight Inn.
8:10 Lexington.
On the map of the trail, the town of Willow Spring is just that, without the "s" at the end.
You should take that up with the NC BBQ Society...it's their map 😉 www.ncbbqsociety.com/bbqtrail.html
You have to try The BBQ Center in Lexington. My absolute favorite place!
Thanks so much for the recommendation!
I’d almost walk from tx to either Lexington or Ayden for a barbecue sandwich and hush puppies! Have driven there for pork barbecue numerous times.
It’s good stuff!
Bitters are as the name suggests and are very aromatic. Commonly used in beverages such as the old fashion.
I have lived in western NC for 15 years and this is the first time I have even heard of lexington or eastern bbq... we just call it bbq
We didn’t make it up 🤷🏻♂️

If you ever come to Chattanooga TN I know some great BBQ one has some great Brisket. I want to do a US bbq tour.
Ooo yes we’d love that! We hung out in Chattanooga for a few days in January and would love to come back when it’s warmer! 🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK Hope all this craziness will be gone by then right now everything is closed down for dine-in service.
We hope so too! Crossing our fingers this passes sooner rather than later 🤞🏼
my bbq rant Carolina isn't Memphis with coleslaw on top.
you guys were in Ayden, you should have stopped in Greenville while out there and tried Parkers BBQ.....outstanding as well.
Oooo another reason for us to go back! Thank you for the recommendation 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm from Memphis not NC, but if I have to choose Lexington for sure. That decision is just based on the sauce. I like fat and bark in my pulled pork
We love just about all BBQ!
You should try Williams Brothers BBQ in Canton Georgia
Oooo we are always down to try new BBQ spots!
Eyy you stopped at NC State!
Need to try White Swan Smithfield
Thanks for the tip!
I grew up with Lexington style so I prefer it over the eastern style. Love the BBQ slaw.
"some normal pepper" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 aka black pepper?
Did you guys ever visit Asheville and the mountains?
We've been a couple times and attempted to film there both times, but for various reasons it hasn't gone well. Maybe third time's the charm! 😂 We love it there, though!
parker's bbq in wilson,nc only place to eat!
We'll have to put it on the list! Thanks!
Great Vlog, you guys are on to something special. Watching the both of you, one can really feel and see the love you have for each other!!! Have fun and stay safe and Happy Travels.
Thank you so much! This put a big smile on our face during a more difficult time! Thank you for watching ❤
That's BBQ slaw in N.C.
The very best in eastern north carolina bbq the best in the world
Western. Tomato based.
What's your favorite spot?
Currituck BBQ company in Barco NC is good.
Thanks for the tip!
So BBQ lovers of the world...Which BBQ sauce is better in the NC regions?
Eastern NC BBQ is the best BBQ there is.
It was so good!!!
I just moved to NC a couple of years ago but as a VA native, I had ventured down and sampled the BBQ many times prior to becoming a resident. I also prefer the eastern style, generally speaking, but have had some Lexington style that blew me away as well. I'm so glad you went to Skylight, I had seen it on TV a long time ago but forgot about it. It is only about 30 minutes from where I live now and it looks like its not too far from one of my favorite bakeries. I will definitely have to go check it out this weekend.
Oooo yes, you gotta go! We LOVED the crispy skin that's included...totally made it for us! Enjoy some for us too!
What are your thoughts of VA BBQ? I am a VA native as well and we have Pierces BBbQ in Williamsburg, VA and their sauce is tomato based. I prefer Eastern NC BBQ.
🖒🖒😙😙🙌🙌
