Jordan GrosecloseOctober 31, 2014Delicious BBQ. Some of the best in the state, especially if you enjoy eastern style. Cash only though which is a bummer, so I don't go out of my way to eat there. Would eat there frequently otherwise.
Brett ElliottAugust 6, 2016If you are expecting Texas (or Memphis or Kansas City) style Bbq then you better order the fried chicken instead :). But luckily the fried chicken is REALLY good! And so is the sweet tea!
Parker's enjoys legendary status in my family. We've been stopping here en route to the beach for 40 years. The chicken is unbeatable, and the barbecue and Brunswick stew are also favorites.
Kevin CameronJune 30, 2019Everything is great. Fried chicken is juicy and crispy!! The que is authentic Eastern NC style. All the fixins’ are delicious!!! Family style is the way to go. Fast and polite service- Fried chicken ! Did I say fried chicken ! But it's all good ! Fast an cheap, you can't beat the value.
Great food. Forget about dieting. Quick service. Order family style and food is brought to your table immediately.
Joe TJanuary 14, 2016Got a chop plate, unreal good and plenty of it. Delivered to the table fast and friendly.
Paul RothApril 5, 2019Fantastic service! Wonderful bargain. So-so Brunswick stew, overdone fried chicken. Good Que and fries
Lee HoffmanApril 6, 2013Maybe the best fried chicken I've ever had. And the little hushpuppies are amazing!
Lee FuhrmanNovember 10, 2013Great Bar-B-Que and awesome service. Really takes you back in time! Well worth the detour off I-95
Clint WinslowMarch 9, 2014Large combination, brunswick stew, and potatoes. You won't be disappointed
Steve LarsonSeptember 14, 2018Fried chicken was a must do. Everything else was solid but go for seconds on the chicken. 👏👏👏
Ron MartinJanuary 26, 2014Best Q, combo plate with boiled potatoes and brunswick stew, cornbread, tea is like Bojangles :), closed Mondays; so sad.
T-Rox MontyMarch 25, 2018The BBQ is unbeatable. The line was intimidating but it moved FAST! Cash only!
Amanda NelsonApril 11, 2010BBQ is great but definitely different from the way it's made up north. Lots of vinegar here. The BBQ chicken was my favorite with a side of hush puppies. Oh and it's super cheap!!- Best BBQ in Eastern NC! And the Brunswick Stew is the best ANYWHERE! Don't forget the sweet tea & crushed ice!
Best barbecue you'll ever eat. Eat "Family Style" if there are two or more. Sides are great too.
Matthew DickersonJanuary 5, 201310/10 every time. Great service, amazing food. Country cookin gon' perfect.
Order "family style" if you come in a group. Share all the dishes brought to the table. Order sweet tea. Dip the hushpuppies in butter.
Stephanie TalbotSeptember 2, 2012Go when you're hungry!! And be liberal with the vinegar shakers on the tables!!
NickNovember 28, 2010Vinegar based BBQ is the best! Great for Family Style but be prepared for all you can eat!!
