Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Why did Willie Brooks close? How or why would so much change at Woodlands if it didn't need fixing....

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Ridgewood is still excellent, but it's not NC style BBQ. Every time we go to Johnson City we pick up some Ridgewood.snickersapp wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 8:03 amRidgewood BBQ, Bluff City, TN. Best I ever had, but, I haven't been there in many, many years. It used to be darn awesome. Hmmm there may be a road trip in the near future. You guys have my BBQ taste buds going now. Lexington has always been good for me but I do want to try JD's outside Lenoir. Friends of ours say it's really good.

I also didn't know Willie Brooks was gone.appgrad2010 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 9:09 amWhy did Willie Brooks close? How or why would so much change at Woodlands if it didn't need fixing....
Woodlands changed ownership. We went to see and we won't be going back. It was not good.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
I'd suggest giving the Redneck BBQ Lab in Benson a try. A little quirky spot located in a gas station, but they draw a big crowd.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Stephenson's is an old school joint on NC 50 between Garner and Benson near McGee's Crossroads. It's worth a try. I like it, but as is evident on every BBQ thread in the cabin, everyone has different tastes. Red Neck BBQ Lab is good but more Texas style than NC, and pricey. They also have a location in North Hills now. I haven't been to that one. Prime BBQ in Knightdale is good, Texas style and also pricey. The Pit in Raleigh (and Durham) is excellent.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Wow. Another independently owned restaurant in Boone bites the dust. With Willie Brooks, Boonies, and Joy Bistro all closing recently, if that keeps up we will have nothing but fast food and chains. Sad.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Not related to BBQ, but, to pork in general. Sometimes when we go kayaking/camping in West by god Virginia, I bring along a crock pot, a nice pork loin, some sauerkraut, and taters. Just sprinkle a little garlic powder and pepper on the loin, then put everything in the crock pot and let it cook on low for about 7 to 8 hours. Hit the river and by the time you get back to camp dinner is ready.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Is it confirmed that Willie Brooks is closed? Their website is still up and my son said that the signs were still up and cars were in the parking lot today.PoplarHillApp wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 11:35 amWow.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
I live close to there and have eaten there quite a few times and it was good. I'll go check it out when I get a chance and see what I can find out.appst89 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 12:09 pmIs it confirmed that Willie Brooks is closed?

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
I wish the owners of Woodlands would have required their sign be taken down when they sold the place.
It's now Peddlin Pig and it sucks but from the outside you'll think it's still Woodlands

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Willie Brooks was closed on Saturday, plus I spoke to the parent of someone that had been working there. They closed right after Christmas I believe.

Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Before Johnson’s Family BBQ closed on Hwy98 in Durham it was the best around. I hear BBQ lab at North Hills is good. They started in Dunn NC. Also hear EXPENSIVE. It’s hard to trust BBQ reviews as I have found a lot of folks just don’t know good BBQ. when headed east I stop at Wilbur’s on 70 in Goldsboro. Get some to take home. In Mebane on 70 West Huey’s or Hursey’s on south 5th St. Clyde Coopers down town used to be very good. Have not been to their new location and I think ownership change. DO NOT go to Danny’s for BBQ. Their brisket is good.
Re: Excellent BBQ joint
Well I’m aint from down nair. I’m from the piedmont. But Wilbur’s is better than anything I know of in Raleigh. The best BBQ in Raleigh right now is off my Webber Charcoal grill.AppinVA wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 1:06 pmI think the only recourse I have is to double down.
