Maybe they should rename it "slay," cause it does and it's the only slaw I like! I got the brisket on the baked potato with bacon, cheese, butter and sour cream. No green onion cause onions are gross. It was DELICIOUS! Would definitely order it again. Staff was on point as usual. Special shoutout and props to Jason...he is always kind and gracious to my mom, and that is ALWAYS a win in my book! It's always a bit noisy, and I loathe the chairs at the tables (they scream be uncomfortable, eat and get out), and altho I wish they'd improve it, the awful chairs shall not separate us from excellent BBQ...and brisket. Don't you dare forget the brisket (on Mondays and Tuesdays)!

There was a very real risk of wasting an entire day. Thankfully, Skylight Inn delivered in a big way. First, this is the kind of place that attracts everyone: police officers, construction workers, families, businesspeople in suits, and that's just on a weekday. That's always a good sign and something I love to see. Their whole hog Eastern North Carolina barbecue was absolutely worth the effort. It was incredibly flavorful and packed with texture. The crispy skin is expertly mixed throughout the meat, alongside moist pork and just enough rendered fat to create a perfect balance. Every bite had something different going on. The sweet tea was excellent, the slaw was solid, and the picnic-style potato salad hit the spot. The cornbread, however, deserves special mention. Unlike what most people think of as cornbread today, Skylight's version is made with only stone-ground cornmeal, water, salt, and pork drippings. It's dense, chewy, and rustic. No wheat flour, no sugar, and no fluffy crumb. It may not be everyone's favorite, but it's a fascinating piece of barbecue history, and I respect that they're still making it the traditional way. I came. I saw. I ate. Then I bought three pounds to go and grabbed a T-shirt on my way out. That's about as strong an endorsement as I can give. PS.....Walking the grounds is fun as well.

I grew up on Parker's but have grown to favor the taste of Moore's My personal favorites are the pulled pork and bone-in chicken. The chicken is always cooked well with a seasoned crispy skin to enhance the flavor. This time I had fries, which were shoestring and salted nicely, and green beans for my sides. There's a dining room in case you want to sit and enjoy your food fresh. Dine-in service can be a longer wait so I always do drive thru for my visits. Give them a try if you're looking for some comfort food at good prices.

Their menu has a little bit of everything up there from barbecue ribs to meatloaf to pig's feet to turkey wings. They usually run specials so that is always a good thing. The servers were extremely friendly. If you looked confused, they would ask you questions to figure out exactly what you want. This place reminds me of a cafeteria. It has plenty of seating so I don't think you have to worry about finding somewhere to sit to eat. I will definitely be back.

We got the pulled pork and chopped brisket, cornbread, mac n cheese, baked beans and a bottle of sauce (included). We felt the value for amount of food was great, and I loved that they included smaller containers of most, if not all, of their sauces so we could try them! The corn bread was great, a couple pieces were pretty dark but still warm and fresh. The baked beans, for me, was a highlight! They were so good, whatever sauce they're cooked in was SO good, I ended up dipping my pulled pork/ brisket into that instead of the sauces!! So good!!! Our kids liked the Mac n cheese, we thought it was pretty good too! Loved that the pulled pork came with no sauce, made it super easy to portion it out for my husband and keep it fresh. Thee brisket came sauced, but the flavor was really good so we were fine with that! Overall, we'd definitely do this once in a while. It was about $90 total for the family meal, which is a little steep for a regular family meal. But flavor was great, everything was fresh, and we very much enjoyed it and will have leftovers for days!!

I'm visiting Greenville with my fiancé and he said we needed to come here for the brisket. We share…read morethe brisket plate with mac and cheese and I had to try all the sauces. They make them all in house. I've never added vinegar to my meat before and I'm hooked. They have this Alabama white sauce that you have to ask for and that was done so well. All the sauces were tasty. I tried their sweet tea and I'm very particular about sweetness with drinks but I thoroughly enjoyed the balance in their tea. The seasonal treat is strawberry shortcake so I ordered that and there was so much balance in their flavor. I'm partial to strawberry shortcake because it was what I often shared with my late Grandpa. I was so impressed with how good this was and it definitely added nostalgia to the experience. The service here was phenomenal and the place has so much memorabilia honoring service members. Very open and welcoming space. Lots to take in, but not overwhelming. I'm definitely glad we stopped in. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area.

We got the buffalo chicken wrap, a burger and 2 kids meals (mac bites and mini corn dogs). The restaurant had 2 people inside eating when we arrived for our takeout order, so it wasn't super busy. The girl at the front seemed a little annoyed at my husband being there to pick up an order. We got home and were shocked to see the $6 kids meal was 6 very overcooked mini corn dogs and an applesauce and 6 Mac bites and an applesauce. Did not seem like a good value when comparing to other places kids meals (like jaggers). The Buffalo chicken wrap was okay, kind of soggy, and I questioned why there would be grilled onions and cheese in a Buffalo chicken wrap vs like lettuce/ tomato, and the fries were soft. My husband said the burger was also okay, not great. Thankfully we stopped at jaggers on the way home to pick up some sides of mac n cheese and fruit for the kids, but for the price I don't see us going back anytime soon.

Cook out brings the family picnic or BBQ to your drive thru window. Customer service here is fast and friendly. My favorite menu items are the cheese bites, western style burger tray and Slaw. The slaw is perfect not too much mayo and not too bland. A healthier option as opposed to the battered and fried sides. The burgers are always grilled to perfection with a taste better than Burger King. The cheese bites are like very small mozzarella sticks. They're addicting. Haven't tried the shakes but that'll be my next venture. Don't want to fire up the grill? Come to Cook Out. Order the tray ! You only live once !
