Carolina BBQ has been serving smoky goodness since its humble beginnings in the late 1970s, when founder Bill Carter opened a small roadside shack in North Carolina. What started as a family-run pit stop quickly grew into a beloved community hub, thanks to Bill’s slow-smoked pork, tangy vinegar sauce, and friendly Southern charm. Thoughts the years, word spread, and Carolina BBQ menu expanded from one tiny smokehouse to several bustling locations, all while keeping that same down-home flavor intact.
As the restaurant’s reputation grew, so did its menu. Today, fans rave about hearty plates of pulled pork, ribs, and chicken—but what many don’t realize is that Carolina BBQ also has a secret menu. Hidden gems like off-menu sandwiches and special sauces give loyal customers something extra to savor. Still, the original signature pulled pork plate remains the heart and soul of Carolina BBQ, loved just as much now as it was decades ago.
