  • Wow. Why have you all been hiding this little gem from me? Is it because I'm from Boston and you think that I wouldn't appreciate good eastern Carolina barbecue? I'm more well-rounded than that, I swear! As a northerner, I did think (way back in 2009) that barbecue involved meat (pig or beef) and some thick sweet sauce. Eh. Fine with me. I enjoyed it but didn't love it. Eating barbecue from Bill Spoon's has opened my eyes to a whole side of barbecue that I didn't know existed ... whole hog, vinegar based barbecue. No more sticky sweet, ketchup based sauces for me. No more fatty pork shoulder. I am a whole hog Eastern Carolina cue girl from now on. I am giving Bill Spoon's five stars for a few reasons ... 1.) Totally not pretentious. Very helpful. Family owned. I walked in looking a little lost and Steve (current owner and the grandson of the original owner) said kindly, "Sweetie, how can I help you?" Not 'sweetie' in a cloyingly paternalistic or condescending kind of way, but truly concerned that I needed some barbecue guidance. 2.) Tastes great!! Large portions of deliciousness. Steve suggested I order the family pack (about $18) - 1 pound of barbecue, a dozen hush puppies and a pound of cole slaw - enough to make three plates or five sandwiches. I decided to also order an extra dozen hush puppies (very wise decision), some baked beans, 6 sandwich rolls, and 1/2 gallon of sweet tea. This easily fed four adults and three children and cost a little over $30. It is my new go-to place every time I have an out-of-town guest. I can't seem to understand why Mac's has 132 reviews and this place has 22. If you want a cool bar to hang out at and drink some organic hard cider for $7 a bottle, go to Mac's. If you want delicious, authentic, barbecue goodness, go to Bill Spoon's. Tucked in quaintly beside the Taco Bell on South Boulevard... let that be your beacon to guide you to barbecue heaven. As other reviewers have mentioned... they are only open until 3pm and they only take cash, checks, and promises ... according to their sign. Plan accordingly. You can eat in or take your order to go... If you plan to eat your takeout promptly, they will bring it out warm, if you plan to heat it up later, let them know!
