  • The closest BBQ restaurant to my home and office is a larger joint in Concord just off of I-85 and Poplar Tent Road. R&R BBQ has a good business and on any weekday or weekend you'll see a good crowd there for lunch. I hadn't been to R&R in several years but since it had been awhile I decided that they were due for another visit. R&R has a lot of square footage and a fun atmosphere with two model trains circling on tracks suspended from the ceiling. You'll see that they express their BBQ heritage proudly and make references to the common North Carolina expression that BBQ is a noun here and not a verb. They also promise a "true Eastern NC Style Pork BBQ experience". All of their talk of tradition and "real BBQ" are completely laughable if for one reason only. They use absolutely no smoke in the cooking process and rely completely on gas. Sure in NC we say with conviction that BBQ is a noun but someone needs to tell R&R that smoke is not only a noun but also a VERB. They disrespect NC BBQ tradition by not using any smoke during the cooking process. This is too bad because they get just about everything else right. The hush puppies are just right, the may based cole slaw I had were good and their Eastern style sauce and KC bbq sauce are both well done. The sweet tea also hits the spot. R&R obviously has a robust business while dishing out bad BBQ so I doubt there is any real incentive to change. It's still hard for me to understand why a restaurant with BBQ in it's name can't invest in an electric or gas smoker if they want to keep it simple. Randy's in Troutman does this and their Q still retains a great smoked flavor. North Carolina sure do as the Germans do with beer and pass a few purity laws regarding BBQ with the first and foremost requirement be that smoke is used in the cooking process. If you head to R&R the best thing to do is forget they have BBQ in their name and just grab a burger or wings. They do a much more authentic job of those.
