No place west of I 95 has a clue about Eastern North Carolina style BBQ & Raleigh is definitely west of I 95. Never heard of Coopers and for damn good reason it appears. Parkers - Wilson and Greenville are good, Bee's in Greenville & the Starlight in Ayden are my favorites. But there are other darn good places nearby.Hung Low wrote:Agreed. I went to the one in Montgomery and I was a little impressed. When asked I now tell people the best BBQ is in Alabama.Silverback wrote:Dreamland BBQ has very good ribs.
However the WORST BBQ style is North Carolina. Place called Cooper's in downtown Raleigh prides itself as being the best NC style BBQ. Its watery and vinegar-based.

Wouldn't be 2 Old Crows and a Hen Country Style BBQ by any chance would it? Jenny

Re: Where is the Best BBQ?
I can't remember the name Jenny Lynn. It is right off I-5 on the West side, as you enter Centralia. He is flyin a Texas flag. The name you mention doesn't ring a bell. I hear he is still doing BBQ and didn't flood out like much of the town did.

Re: Where is the Best BBQ?
Just taked with a hillbilly buddy of mine. He said that "Rendezvous Ribs" were the best he's ever had, hands down
He gave me a link to the site.

Anybody eaten there? Looks like you can order a full rack of ribs. I think I'm going to try them out.

Re: Where is the Best BBQ?
I'm going to be in 2nd Bat territory on Memorial Day...and no good BBQ, except one place? Blasphemy! Guess I'm going to have to make it to Lockhart this summer.
I'm figurin' I'll be around Benning at the end of October, so I'll have to go check out Hog Rock and Ft Mitchell just to see if you guys have any taste in the South.
I did notice a BBQ joint a couple of blocks away from the LaQuinta I stayed at on Macon Rd...is that the one you're talkin' about Ranger Silverback?! I should've went, but I got talked into Chinese food instead -- my Ranger loves to "cheese" as we call it.

Re: Where is the Best BBQ?
Not in my opinion. I went while in Collierville, TN on a project. The 30 minute drive was worth it, but $99?
