| - Kyle Fletcher's has good food, but it is the atmosphere, price, and service that will have you coming back. When I walked into this locally owned joint I felt like I had been taken back to Chapel Hill. The place is covered with pictures of the venerable Dean Smith, the unforgettable Michael Jordan, and the class act James Worthy. There are old Tar Heels posters, small little UNC trinkets and pics of players and coaches strewn throughout the place. As a graduate of UNC Chapel-Hill, I loved it and I have to admit it may have influenced my feelings about this place.
I know that this place can be extremely busy during the lunch hours, so I held off until about 1:30. By the time I walked in my stomach was growling, but it was worth the wait because I was seated right away. Keep in mind that this place is very small and quite popular. The parking lot is also limited, so take all of this into account on planning your meal. Also, this place is old school so it's *CASH ONLY.*
As I said, I was seated right away and soon after was enthusiastically greeted by a member of the wait staff to take my drink order. I got the sweet tea of course and I made the right decision. Usually family owned BBQ joints get the tea right, and Kyle Fletcher's was no exception.
I decided to order the Small Chopped Pork Plate, which was only $6. This was an incredible price considering that it comes with pork BBQ, baked beans, cole slaw, hush puppies, and french fries. I was even more impressed when they brought out the heaping amount of food. I can't even imagine what the large plate looks like.
I tasted the BBQ before adding any slaw or sauce and was honestly disappointed. It had a really good smoky flavor to it, but it was dry. I added the sauce and slaw to it and tried it again. It obviously was much better. The slaw was sweet and moist without being watery and the sauce was very good. I tried the Eastern NC vinegar style sauce. It actually had a really good heat to it. Some places seem to hold back on the spiciness, but Kyle Fletcher's brought it. The hushpuppies were good and the french fries were above average. I was stuffed after sucking down all of this food and was thankful that I decided just to get the small plate.
Kyle Fletcher's is a good small town, family owned, BBQ joint with a great atmosphere, and friendly service. There is better BBQ out there, but this got knocked up to 4 stars for me because of the side items, the sauce, the atmosphere, and the service. This is based on one visit, so maybe next time the BBQ will impress me more.
