Big 7 Travel: The 25 Best North Carolina BBQ Joints

Written By Fresh

Any fan of Sam Jones BBQ knows that it all started with Sam’s granddaddy’s barbecue spot: the Skylight Inn. Just up the road from us, it’s about as iconic as a bbq joint can get.

Nowadays there’s a lot more barbecue in our fair state than when Skylight Inn started smokin’ hogs, but it sure is nice to see us get some accolades in the ever-crowded world of NC BBQ. Big Seven Travel recently rounded up some of their favorite joints in North Carolina, and we’re pleased to say the old timers at Skylight Inn once again topped a list of NC barbecue.

“Skylight Inn took the top spot on our national list of the best BBQ joints in the entire United States. So, it’s easily the best place for BBQ in North Carolina in 2021. After speaking with numerous locals, travellers, and barbecue experts, the conclusion is that the pork served at Skylight Inn BBQ is the best of the best. The pork sandwich is to die for and will have you dreaming of the richness.”
