Baked beans
Markie'Sha J.

This is my second time visiting, but this time I ordered online! I raved about my first visit so much that a few friends from out of town wanted to try it out and they were extremely impressed. I arrived at 11 o'clock. They stated my order will be ready around 11:15 and I received my order before 11:10 AM. The taste was consistent- nothing short of amazing. My friends and I decided to have the full experience and ate in the picnic like area (it was covered). This is definitely good barbecue. Great place for lunchtime; I noticed a few groups of people gathering for lunch in professional attire.

It's a food truck with a bunch of commercial stick burners, a covered line and a big covered eating area. Its nice and clean and has some great aromas that made it acceptable to wait in line for over an hour.Once I got to the order window, the staff were helpful and efficient. The BBQ is not cheap but it is great. I went with a few friends and brought an order home for by better half. Everyone was really impressed. I'm a TX BBQ guy and apparently so are the owners.... 100% we will be back!

Brisket, Bacon Brisket, Pulled Pork, Pepper Muenster Sausage
Brad F.

First time trying their food - best barbecue I have had in long time. Bacon Brisket , Pulled Pork, Brisket and Pepper Muenster Sausage all were on point and top notch. Mashed potato salad, Cole slaw and Baled Beans very flavorful. Look forward to ordering earlier to try the beef rib and pork ribs. We took it to go but look forward to eating there next time. Nice ambiance and great service - if there is a long wait just know it was worth it

Th seating . Outdoor picnic tables

We waited 90 minutes in line at this off the beaten path Michelin rated bbq joint and it was worth it . Best BBQ ever . Anywhere. Seating options are a bunch of picnic tables outdoor only. Sooooo delicious.

Really cool spot in very unusual location. Service was very good and food selection is varied. Smoker onsite and fire pits were keeping guest warm while waiting as it was freezing when I came. Everything was good and looks great.

The name speaks for itself! I am comfortable saying this is the best BBQ I have ever had. Staring with the sides mac and cheese was phenomenal and the baked beans are like a meal themselves. The platter we order was seasoned to perfection and cooked to the point of tendered goodness. Just upset I am just trying the place, but will be back soon.

Ribs
Bryan P.

One of favorite bbq places in the area. We live eating here, dining is outdoors and food goes quickly. Get there early, order online or try after the rush and hope they have food left. Great service, food. Warmer weather makes it more enjoyable.

Start of the line
Karen L.

Always incredible!! I highly recommend ordering ahead, it's simple to do but be prepared to wait in line still since they only start making your order when you arrive and they alternate between the order ahead line and the regular line. My go-to order is the Texas Trinity, it's enough food for 5 people and is a nice variety of their best meats. Their brisket is the best I've had in years and I'm also a big fan of their pork ribs. The mac & cheese is great! On a nice day it's a fun experience to sit on the picnic tables. Very family-friendly ambiance and also great for groups.

I found this place on Yelp and was super excited to visit while I'm in town. The ratings were good and I wanted to try a couple of different things. I got the brisket Philly cheesesteak, the ribs, and a side of smoked Mac and cheese: the good, the customer service was awesome and the location is on a farm! Very nice. For me, the food fell short. The brisket Philly was overly salty and not cut in half. Because I'm visiting from out of town, it would've been nice to not have to go searching for a knife. The ribs were good I would order them again. The Mac and cheese never made it to the bag which really sucks because I was looking forward to that the most. Really glad I didn't stand in a long line or I would've been really disappointed. To me, it just wasn't worth the trip. I'm sorry.

Beef rib, sausage, and barbacoa
Lauren K.

As a recent transplant from Texas, I can attest to the authenticity. I've waited in many barbecue lines, and I'm certainly not going to complain about one that's in the shade and moves quickly. We had a large group, which was great for trying a variety of things. The beef rib was the highlight, but the brisket, sausage, and barbacoa were all prepared well too. The Mac and cheese was a hit with both the kids and adults in our group. The roasted veggies were also a good side and definitely the healthiest thing on the tray. If you're heading to the fun park, make sure to save time for a meal here!

BBQ sandwich with loaded mashed potato salad

We made a road trip to Raleigh for my birthday, and Dampf Good BBQ made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived at their food truck setup, surrounded by casual outdoor picnic tables, we were welcomed like old friends. The team was genuinely friendly, taking time to chat and walk us through the menu. When my wife mentioned it was my birthday, they not only remembered but later surprised us with a banana pudding on the house--which was as delicious as it was thoughtful. That kind of hospitality is rare these days and really made an impression. As for the food--it's exactly what you'd hope for and more. I went to school in Texas and have done plenty of work there, so I've eaten at some of the most iconic BBQ spots in the Lone Star State. Dampf Good BBQ is the real deal. Too often, places outside of Texas claim a "twist" on Texas brisket, but the results don't quite live up to it. Not here. These folks are loyal to the roots of Texas BBQ while adding just enough of their own flair to make it special. The brisket was textbook perfect: smoky, tender, juicy, with a bark that had me grinning after the first bite. The turkey was shockingly good--moist and flavorful (no dried-out slices here). The bacon brisket, which is actually pork belly with a sweet finish, was next-level amazing--rich, tender, and perfectly balanced. We also tried both sausage options--the Polish and the pepper Munster--and both were fantastic. Juicy, well-seasoned, with a nice snap and deep flavors. And I have to give serious credit to the sides. A lot of BBQ joints seem to treat them like an afterthought, but not here. Every single one was just as good as the meats. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the elote was smoky-sweet with a little heat, the potato salad and slaw were fresh and crisp, and the baked beans had that perfect slow-cooked, smoky-sweet flavor. The portions were generous too--we left full and happy, but still found ourselves talking about the meal the whole way home. Between the top-tier BBQ, the welcoming atmosphere, and the personal touches from the friendly staff, this place is something special. If you're anywhere near Raleigh and craving real Texas-style BBQ, make sure Dampf Good BBQ is on your list. I'll definitely be back.

Brisket, Loaded mashed potato salad
Annie J.

Finally tried Dampf after hearing so much about it. I got there closer to closing and a few items were sold out but I grabbed the last bit of brisket with potato salad. The brisket was tender and juicy, and the potato salad was delicious. If you want something specific but can't get there early, order online and they'll reserve it for you. The staff were incredibly kind and made the experience even better. There's plenty of outdoor seating at Phillips Farm, I stayed until sundown and the atmosphere was great. I missed out on the mac and cheese this time, but I'll definitely be back for that and the sliced brisket.

Best brisket I've ever had. Melted in my mouth. Beautiful taste. Pulled pork was good but not as mind blowing as the brisket. Cole slaw was eh. That pulled brisket though. I ate there almost a month ago and I think about it regularly. Picnic tables available nearby and I appreciate that the line is covered in the shade.

Several meats.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I'm genuinely happy and proud to have this food…read moretruck in our area. Their offerings are truly unique compared to other ice cream and dessert spots around here. Everything is consistently high quality, and you can really taste the authenticity in their desserts. The flavors remind me of true Indian faloodas, chuski, and golas, and the hygiene and cleanliness are unmatched. The whole setup is very well managed, from the efficient ordering process to the pager system. We've had a great experience every single time. Today we tried the kulfi falooda, and it was hands down the best item yet. The rose kulfi falooda is also a must-try. Even the mango kulfi on its own was excellent, especially with the added toppings that elevate the flavor. Really glad to have them as part of our community. Hope they continue to thrive and keep up the consistency. Highly recommend!

Bombay Chuski Gola - A Nostalgic Flavor Blast!…read more Visited Bombay Chuski Gola (open 5 PM to 10 PM) and had a super refreshing experience! Gola -- that classic Indian crushed ice treat -- is served here with a fun twist. We tried the Nutty Treat, which leaned more towards the classic crushed ice style, and Royal Rajwadi, which felt more like smooth, shaved ice. Both were flavorful in their own way. The best part? You can tweak the flavors as per your taste -- more sweet, tangy, or even spicy! Perfect for a post-dinner chill or to beat the heat with some desi vibes. Clean setup, quick service, and full-on nostalgia in every bite.

We tried the street-style chicken noodles and chili chicken. The chili chicken was spicy and delicious. The noodles had good flavor but were a bit too oily for my taste.

Overall, a good spot if you're craving Indo-Chinese or Indian street-style food and want something quick.

No seats near the food truck, so not great ambiance overall | Full Review If you want delicious dosas, Andhra 2 America is the spot to go to, but only if you don't mind waiting at least 20+ minutes, even on a non-busy day. In my last visit, I ordered the Baahabuli Dosa, dubbed their "Special", Chicken Uttapam, and Chettinad Chicken Dosa. The 3 sauces that come with each order are the kicker - 1 spicy red, an orange medium-spicy sauce, and a white non-spicy sauce made of nuts. They all spice the dosas well, and the dosas are pretty big at a reasonable price I would love to visit this food truck more often but the slow customer service makes me more hesitant to return. Even if I was only 1 of the few customers waiting, it would take 20 to even sometmes 30 minutes to be ready for what I expect to be fast. I tried one of the Indo-Chinese fried rice before and I thought it was well-spiced but I thought it was bit overpriced. I felt like the dosas were more worth the prices. This food truck is still worth visiting if you enjoy aunthentic and spicy Indian street food.

Not only is the pork tasty and juicy, there's so much of it! I loved that they did not hold back on their portions and after just one quesadilla (at $5) I'm satisfied. It came with a side of spinach, tomatoes, avocados (no extra charge yay!!) and topped with some cheese and cream. Really good stuff! Great customer service! They were really nice and friendly even though I was awkwardly staring at their menu for awhile. They had a variety of meats to choose from and had other options which I'll have to try next time. It was super quick service as well! The only downside is that they didn't have seating available but considering it's cold, I was okay with taking it home. Definitely recommending this food truck to everyone! Great food, great price and quick service? Can't get better than that with me! Side note: they are at Berkshire Manor West (off 54) every Tuesday night!

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.

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.

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.
