Brisket cooked 16 hrs is delicious. I had their yellow slaw a sweet tangy delight. Definitely would come again
I'm a Texas girl. Been in NC for 3 years and I have been looking for BBQ that is satisfying. Hillsborough BBQ is the best BBQ that I have had in North Carolina so far. My favorites so far are the Turkey, mac n cheese, yellow slaw (never had it before), the BBQ sauce, pickles, and potato salad (needed some salt through). Everything tasted freshly made. The sweet tea and hushpuppies were also good. The brisket was good but a little salty, the BBQ sauce helped it. The Turkey was moist and the mac n cheese was to die for. Overall I'd give them 5 stars. It was super tasty, I wasn't disappointed at all and they had a nice old store front atmosphere. It definitely reminded me of the old BBQ joints in Lockhart, TX. We will definitely be back.
Best BBQ in town! This place is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. Their beef brisket is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, perfectly smoked and seasoned just right. You can really taste the quality and the care they put into the cooking. The casual bar vibe adds to the relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to grab a cold drink and enjoy some seriously good food. Whether you're with friends or family, it's a great place to kick back and enjoy top-notch BBQ. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Stopped in for Sunday dinner. Morgan helped me make a couple great choices- she was super sweet, friendly and prompt. Beef brisket was tender and juicy. Hush puppies came with sweet butter - that combination was dangerously delicious. Paired with salad and blue cheese. Yum! Beautiful to sit on the patio. Well be back for sure & save room for the banana pudding.
Wow! It’s a little place with authentic food and amazing service. We tried and highly recommend the ribs, chicken and briskets. Don’t forget the iced tea and banana pudding - freshly made and superb!
Stopped by on our way back home. The food is your typical Carolina style BBQ! Food was fresh and delicious!
The food was really good! I ordered the baby ribs and they were “fall off the bone” my husband went with the brisket and it tasted so good! The waitress service could be better but it was just ok.
