The Whispering Pines BBQ Menu has come a long way since the restaurant first opened its doors in 1987. Founded by James “Jimmy” Larkson in a small pine-lined town in North Carolina, the restaurant began as a family-run smokehouse famous for its slow-smoked meats and old-school Southern hospitality. As word spread and locals kept returning, Whispering Pines expanded from a tiny cabin eatery to a beloved regional BBQ stop known for comfort food, smoky flavors, and generous portions.
Gradually, the Whispering Pines BBQ Menu evolved with customer favorites like hickory brisket, pulled pork plates, and their crowd-pleasing smoked chicken.
But what many longtime fans don’t know is that there’s also a secret menu—packed with hidden gems like the “Pine Cone Sandwich” and off-menu burnt-end bowls that only regulars whisper about.
Still, no matter how much the menu grows, Jimmy’s original signature dish—the slow-smoked pork shoulder—remains the heart of the place, loved just as much today as it was on opening day.
