The Motherload
Anna F.

We ordered the motherload since we were a party of eight. We also ordered the cobb salad. The motherload contained sausage, turkey, chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs. My favorite were the sausage, brisket and and ribs. For the sides, we ordered hush puppies, green beans, corn pudding and cornbread. The cornbread was okay and I am not a fan of hush puppies. This place is casual and we bussed our tables after eating. I enjoyed the BBQ sauces but I can't say I would go back if I am in the area.

Here again for a late lunch. I noticed they have changed the menu some. Man at the register was very helpful and excellent attitude. I got a brisket sandwich and coleslaw. Both were delicious and came out quickly. Drinks are self service and the sauce choices are there as well. I like having so many options. Clean tables, no dirty dishes sitting around but you leave your dishes at a station near the door. Consistent quality food.

2 Two Meats, Two Sides (Ribs and Pulled Pork). So good.

This place is good for what seems like a good bbq joint. I just moved from Texas and I need my brisket fix. This place has really good brisket that fills that need . Everyone here is really nice and helpful. Everything here is smoked or slow cooked just like I found in Texas. Glad I came across this place.

5-3-25. St. Louis style ribs.  One eaten and one seconds before eating.

5-3-25. Visited here before catching a flight home. Very happy I stopped in. Tasted a few different items......pork ribs were terrific, moist and tender with a nice sweet, tangy sauce. BBQ chicken was juicy and flavorful. Pulled pork and chopped brisket sandwich was excellent, as was the pulled pork nachos. The side of collared greens was also very tasty. The "naked" sliced turkey was decent but not as good as the other meat items. Hush puppies were also pretty good. Mac and cheese had a nice flavor but was a little on the mushy side. You order your food at the counter, grab your own table and they call you to pick up your order when the food is ready. A no nonsense, non pretentious place to get some good BBQ. Staff was friendly. I'm glad I don't live anywhere near this restaurant because I'd be visiting too often and that would be very dangerous for my sodium and cholesterol intake. Overall, a very pleasant and satisfying meal.

City Barbeque is a quick chain option if you are craving some BBQ. You place your order at the counter then wait for it and find a place to sit. It was the two meats with two sides sampler (brisket, sausage, baked beans and green beans) for my husband and the 3 sides plate (baked beans, 3-cheese baked mac and potato salad) with a modelo for me. There was a ticket printing issue was not communicated to a few of us until we waited a bit. I also really wanted corn pudding but they were out of it. My favorites were the beans and sausage.

Easy peasy with a quick pick up! We are Northerners so sure we'd be considered connoisseurs but tasted great and was reasonable in price!

If you live in Holly Springs, Cary, Apex or Fuquay-Varina, I recommend that you check out Billiam's…read moreCafe & Catering. Both the food and customer service were amazing plus it's a local business! I recently checked this place out because I won a meal for two and am so happy that I did. We were able to try the lasagna, two slices of cake and a bag of crackle snack. The lasagna was so fresh and tasty. But, the carrot cake stole the show for me. I almost devoured the entire slice minutes after it was delivered. Here are the answers to a few of the initial questions that I had: For orders over $25 there is no delivery charge; however, if it is below there is a fee of $2.99. Somewhat similar concept to Blue Apron and Hello Fresh except there is no prep involved! Just cook the dish according to the instructions and it's ready to go. This is perfect for hectic weeks. Orders need to be placed by midnight on Thursday the week prior to it being delivered on Tuesday. Since these meals are prepared you will need to be at home at the time of delivery or leave a cooler out. Enjoy!

Pro tip:They serve Keto friendly, gluten free, home cooking that takes no prisoners....and is…read moredelivered....yes, DELIVERED! *free with orders over $25* I was blown away by the flavor!!! For months, I have lusted after Billiam's cafe. They post pictures to a Facebook group I am in with available options and some of those options defy the term "food porn." Everything looks so delicious and I have been dying to try some of the offerings. Dying..naw,,,more like lusting...and this is what I found....Simple yet flavorful fare created with real love... Mediterranean chicken...skillfully prepared, tender, and amazing flavor very filling with premium ingredients like artichoke hearts Pork loin... show stopping flavor and fork TENDER...no gravy needed Creamed spinach...seriously so good it may have been my favorite dish (a vegetable rating highest?? yeah, I can't believe it either) Sauteed squash....perfection and well seasoned Macaroni and cheese....very much homemade deliciousness. Save yourself some time this Thanksgiving and buy theirs. (word on the street is Stouffer's is trying to steal the recipe) Lasagna...good, solid performer but not gluten free or keto Meatloaf....better than mom's with a spicy, optional sauce Vegetable Quiche.....wow...simple eggs transformed into a work of art. Are you full yet?? ha.....keep reading... and then there are desserts...sugar-free and low carbohydrate...can't possibly be good....cause...no sugar?? SURPRISE!!! These desserts qualify as a religious experience.....THAT GOOD!!! Key lime cheesecake....you will roll on the floor speaking in tongues. I almost cried with the light texture and righteous flavor Lemon Blueberry Cookies.....best combination ever....so good, so sweet with real blueberries... Strawberry cookies...sweet with real strawberries...no artificial flavors here.....so amazingly good Snicker-doodles....how does this not have flour? really these are better than any cookie and taste homemade! Salted Caramel Cookie.....this is the object de' art that tastes better than their food porn advertises. It will make any dieter weep with joy. Peanut Butter Fluffers.....omg....these are the most amazing cookies. Ironically, even tho you want to eat a whole order, they are just too rich...you can't...so without even trying, it keeps you on your diet while satisfying a significant sweet tooth. There are other, non-sugar-free options that are equally delicious and well worth a try; however, sugar-free with no weird textures or after taste??....sign me up! Located in a community space, they also offer lunch to eat in or carry out. Orders are placed by Thursday and the following week...Monday he chefs like a madman and Tuesday he delivers. Payment is easy and so is ordering. Portions are fair and the price is too. Immaculately clean, there is a high degree of care placed in this food and even more love. Yes, you can actually taste the love in this food!! Technically, they deliver LOVE....

These things are otherworldly -- melt-in-your-mouth tender with that crisp, caramelized, candy-coated exterior that should honestly be illegal. I happily make the 90-minute drive from Moore County because this BBQ is that good. The chicken? Juicy. The brisket? Fantastic. But the burnt ends? Those are the reason I'm blocking off my schedule and grabbing my keys like I've got somewhere holy to be. The fries were perfectly cooked (crispy but not trying too hard), and their spin on potato salad was surprisingly delicious -- they smoke the potatoes, and somehow that makes the whole thing taste like comfort food's cooler, more interesting cousin. If you're thinking about going... go. Just don't expect me to share my burnt ends. I meant what I said.

Great restaurant with an awesome menu. We came on a Sunday around 2pm thinking it might be quiet…read moreand it was absolutely packed, which makes sense after eating there. The only real downside was they were already out of pork BBQ, which I'm guessing is their main item and they just ran out for the day. The burnt ends were incredible though, literally fell apart in your mouth. Service was good and they have really nice indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend the potato salad and the fried brussel sprouts, the sprouts had this perfect mix of sriracha and honey that was so good. It is a bit pricey for lunch but that's kind of expected with BBQ these days. Definitely will be back.
