The Harris BBQ Menu has a story that stretches back to 1987, when founder William “Bill” Harris opened a small roadside smoke shack in rural North Carolina. From day one, Harris BBQ earned a loyal following thanks to its slow-smoked meats, generous portions, and a hospitality style that felt like visiting family. Eventually, the restaurant expanded from that single smoke pit into a beloved regional chain, each location still carrying the same hand-crafted approach that made the original famous.
As the crowds grew, the Harris BBQ Menu evolved too — adding brisket plates, loaded sandwiches, house-made sides, and seasonal specialties that fans search for online year-round.
But what many people don’t know is that Harris BBQ also has a secret menu, quietly passed down by longtime regulars. Hidden gems like the “Pitmaster Stack” and the off-menu “Burnt End Bowl” reward those who know to ask.
Still, nothing beats the original signature slow-smoked pork that started it all — a classic that remains the most loved item on the Harris BBQ Menu today.
