Lively atmosphere and gets very busy. 1/2 rack ribs with a slight crust exterior, tender and smokey, seasoned perfectly. Smoked turkey breast was MOIST with the perfect amount of smoke. Stand out sauces were the Eastern & the Hot. Loaded baked potato w sharp cheddar sauce, beef brisket, topped with house made fried onion rings. And not to be missed is their next level fresh banana pudding. Made with care and fresh ingredients, was divine. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations in this famous land of BBQ. Although conveniently just off the I-95, plan for around an hour to dine. Ample parking. Two picnic tables outside. Drive-through.

It took a long time for the car in front of me to place their order, like 5-7 minutes. When I pulled up to order I waited about 2-3 minutes to place my order. I was a little frustrated as I believe a drive through should be faster than getting out of your car and going in to order. If service had been a little faster I would given a higher rating.

I like to visit Black River Tobacco Company about once a month and get food either before or after having a cigar. The nice thing is they are open late enough here to get a bite afterwards even as late as 930p. I'll start off with what's good...obviously the wings, that's almost my go to every time. The pork belly on a stick is a knockout! Honestly, you could order toast or a bun, cut these in half and put them on and it would make a legendary sandwich. It's extremely difficult to find good onion rings anymore. Most of them are GFS or Sysco pre-made crap in most restaurants. Here they are beer battered and made from scratch and fried until nice and crispy. Ask for ranch as a side. I would get these over the fries every time I go. I think the best thing on the menu is the Brisket bomb grilled cheese...OMG it is insane. It's freshly smoked brisket, pimento cheese, caramelized onions on Texas toast....bro....pair this with the onion rings and you got a 5 star meal for under $20. Now the one thing I wouldn't order here...steak. This is not a steakhouse. Not in the slightest. I would put it not he same level as Cracker Barrel or Waffle House in the this category. Think cut steaks that seem to be of select grade...just no. Don't do it. Go to Texas Roadhouse or somewhere that specializes in steaks. They're kind of pricy here at $37 for a ribeye...you can get a fat hand cut one that's almost a couple pounds at TR for that price....just pass on steak and stick to the BBQ or burgers. A lot of the sharable are good. Haven't tried the salads. Drinks are decently priced and well made. The vibe of this one is a lot different than Garner. Here it's more "clean new restaurant with a country style" vs "Dive bar that was rescued" in Garner. Pro Tip: If you're leaving Raleigh headed down 95 after work, it's easy access off the highway after you get out of Raleigh traffic and want to stop. They are fast here as well so it's a good quick meal.
