    3pm on a March Sunday. One waitress to care for everyone. 7 Tables. Out of burnt ends and ribs were not done at 4 pm. Ordered brisket sandwich with beans and hush puppies. Since no ribs or ends husband ordered a burger . Unsweet tea was musty changed for water. Brisket was bland dry Bake Beans were good as were the Mac n cheese Slaw was warm like it was under a warmer. Burger was good tasty cooked as ordered. Need more staff. Needs to do a deep clean

    Alllll the saucessss

    I found this spot on Google... and decided to got it a shot on my way back from camping at the NC State Fair as I headed back to Charlotte. If you don't have the exact address it's easy to miss this hidden gem. We sat inside at a table and a very friendly waitress was able to put in our order in a quick and friendly manner. So here is our highlights: chicken, ribs, sausage, and corn bread was a 10/10. The various sauces were a treat to share on all the different meats that represent different NC bbq flavors which we thought was fun. We thought the brisket could have been a better quality beef but that's being picky. The only thing we would share for others is, maybe eat outside as the flies inside were a bit persistent and maybe some mitigation from management for future customers and improve inside dinning experience.

    Walked in and was brought right to our table. Asked our drink order and given our menus. Our server was on top of everything. Food was some of the best BBQ that we ever had. So DELICIOUS. This is a local and casual place. We will be back again. This is a hidden gem!

    Thank you to yelp and all their contributors!! Another great meal in a cozy little spot! We started with the burnt ends, crispy and delicious with the smoky sauce. Do not be deterred by the word smoky! It was the perfect blend of sweet and savory! We then had the small sampler with Mac and cheese and red slaw. Some of the best Mac and cheese! Should rename it as cheese and Mac because there was so much cheese. Every meat was on point, juicy and flavorful, the sauce platter was great to mix and sample all the flavors. Red slaw was great, hush puppies were a hidden gem with corn chunks in them. Great meal and great service!

    Great food, way to much to eat

    Really good food with crazy big portions. Service was polite and friendly. It's just a hole in the wall, but 1 you need to go to if you are anywhere nearby.

    This is a great place to get bbq if you like it. Location isn't very great if you're not from around here. But if you like really big portions for a decent price then this us the place. Brisket was incredible and pulled pork amazing. Kids enjoyed the hush puppies, boneless wings and Mac and cheese. The staff was great and not a long wait for food. Did I mention the portions lol? I had to take half the brisket off my sandwich to fit it in my mouth. So if you like bbq this is the place for you.

    Nice interior and friendly staff. Classic small BBQ joint. The service was quick. You choose the kind of meat you want and the sauce on the side. We both went with pulled pork. Me the sandwich and her just a 1/2 lb. The pork is good even with out the sauce. I got the vinegar slaw which I liked because it's not chopped into a mush. She had the creamy slaw with she didn't like and they took of the bill. Both slaws on the side. The Mac and cheese I had on the side was excellent. Creamy and served in a small skillet. I saw lots of others order it too. The bourbon sauce I had was a great compliment to the delicious pulled pork served on a toasted bun. She liked the pork too and took her leftovers home. The Eastern bbq sauce she did not like and it was just a not particularly tasty vinegar with no spice to it. The corn bread was a sweet one and OK but we both prefer an unsweetened regular buttermilk corn bread that's a bit thicker. We'll be back to try the desserts and other stuff but the meat we had was tasty and I'll definitely be having the Mac and cheese again.

    Awesome vibes

    I first tried Smithfield's Chicken N' BBQ in the early 80's at their second location just off of…read moreHighway 70 in Clayton. The original Smithfield's was opened in Smithfield in 1977, with the Clayton operation beginning in 1979. Since then the restaurant has greatly expanded across the state, now totaling 41, with the 2 furtherest west being in Greensboro and Charlotte. Over the years, I've eaten at perhaps half of the Smithfield locations, and have rarely been disappointed, and in the few where I was, it centered on the service, not the food. As with so much in the restaurant area, things have changed and will surely continue to change with pork barbecue in North Carolina, reflecting changing tastes and changing processes. For example, fewer and fewer cooked over hardwood coals, and very few cook the whole hog - in fact, I think there are only 4 (all in the east) that still do - Skylight Inn, B's, Grady's, and The Pit. Smithfield very much mirrors the changing nature of NC BBQ over the last 30 years or so. The pork bbq for ALL locations is cooked in Smithfield and then shipped to the various locations. Obviously, what you get is less than just off the rack fresh. Still, if I'm close, then a pop in for a combo of bbq and chicken works. I like their slaw. the hush puppies are fair at best, the hot dog totally sucks, and the Chicken Tender Sandwich is really, really good! Don't consider this a destination bbq spot, but I will still go from time to time if driving by. There is some bad bbq sold in NC, but it is most often found at a grocery store or a convenience store - if it has gas pumps keep moving!

    They produce a number of different barbecue meat products at this Siler City company. They sell…read moretheir products to restaurants, to retail food outlets (Food Lion, Harris Teeter, etc.), and directly to the public on-line with free shipping. I have run across 3 version of their pork barbecue (there may be more). 2 Pulled Pork varieties - one in their Original Carolina BBQ Sauce (vinegar based, supposedly Eastern style) and one with a Tangy Tomato Sauce (their Western style sauce). Both are very, very smokey and the texture is not bad for pulled pork - a little stringy, but not dry knots like some. Neither sauce is memorable, very weak versions of the ones made in house in good barbecue joints offering either style. You know immediately that this is a commercial product, prepared and packaged in bulk - and if you've bought a BBQ sandwich in a non-BBQ joint, you've encountered its ilk. The 3rd version I found is definitely not pulled pork - it is minced, and minced again, to the point of having an appearance and texture of a smokey pork pudding. This is not barbecued pork in any form I've ever encountered.

    There are a lot of BBQ restaurants out there, but The Bone Yard has officially earned the #1 spot…read moreon our list! From the moment we walked through the door, the owners, Slim and his wife, Lynn, made us feel like family. Neither me, my family nor Slim are originally from Siler City, but you'd have thought we'd all known each other for 30 years. They were professional, genuinely welcoming, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. They brought our food out promptly and Lynn spent time working the room (lol) with her mix of warm, welcoming personality and a sense of humor that had customers smiling and laughing everywhere she went. Slim and I had a chance to chat a bit about his story, and at the same time he made sure everything was exactly the way it should be. Getting to know both of them and hearing about the journey they've been on over the last few years was honestly one of the highlights of our visit. Now let's talk about the food... absolutely phenomenal. The mild chicken wings were exactly what my family has been searching for ever since leaving the Southwest, where bold flavor and great food are simply the expectation. Today, I'm happy to report that The Bone Yard has officially become our East Coast BBQ spot! We sampled a little bit of everything, including the mild wings, a full rack of ribs, and a half pound of pulled pork topped with Slim's own Carolina mustard sauce. Every single item brought something unique to the table. Nothing tasted ordinary or mass produced. The ribs were tender, juicy, and practically fell off the bone. The pulled pork was packed with flavor, and that mustard sauce put it over the top. Every bite showed the care, passion, and pride that goes into the food. You can genuinely taste the difference. As I looked around the restaurant, all I saw were smiling faces enjoying incredible food, and I knew we weren't the only ones who felt this way. In our opinion, this is hands down the best BBQ we've had anywhere in North Carolina. Would we drive 40 minutes just to eat here again? Without hesitation... hell, we might do it again tomorrow. Five stars all day long. Incredible food. Incredible people. An unforgettable experience. Slim and Lynn have built something truly special, and we can't wait to come back. If you're anywhere near Siler City, do yourself a favor and make the trip. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

    Well a hunt for somewhere quick while in Siler City yielded a true gem! I can't wait to come back…read moreon a smoked Saturday!
