Drive thru only for the present, very friendly staff, and the food is great. Smoky juicy bbq pork, crispy but soft hush puppies that were just a touch sweet, and the chicken was very tender and smoky. Coleslaw was the perfect accompaniment for the meat. Love the generous piece of crunchy skin that comes with it. Will try to come out here again!
The Barbecue is very good if you like good old school barbecue this is the place to go you drive through ask for barbecue or chicken and they bring it to you. I can’t wait to go again
Had bbq sandwiches with slaw and a pound of bbq with slaw. Sid’s is awesome, bbq is the best
High quality BBQ! Drive thru open only on Saturdays, roll down your window, they write your order on paper, give paper to you, someone else will take your paper when you get closer to the kitchen building, they bring your food to you, you don't need to get out of your car at all! They have outside seating and tables under shelter just in case it rains and for when it is very sunny outside. Drive thru, enter one side of the property and exit the other side of the property.
Ok. So this might be the best bbq I’ve ever had in my life. I know for a fact that these are the best hush puppies I’ve ever had, and that’s absolutely definitive. They were super sweet, and gorgeously crunchy on the outside. The pork was beyond incredible, chopped so finely and perfectly tender. The big shard of cracklin’ really was a chef’s kiss. This place is only open one day a week, and often sells out, and is kind of near absolutely nothing, but make the pilgrimage if you can. Yes, the man who takes your order will be strapped. Yes, you will wonder why you are in someone’s driveway. Yes, it will be the best Q you’ve ever had.
Best BBQ I've ever had! Hush puppies are amazing as well. We moved to Mississippi 2 years ago so every time we come back Sid's is a must! I always get the BBQ sandwich no slaw and some hush puppies!
Authentic whole hog bbq, very well cooked and tasty. Little bits of crackling came in the meat. Wish I would've got more than just the sandwich. Line of cars was out the driveway and into the road
Fantastic food! My wife and I shared a combo with white meat chicken. This is quintessential Eastern North Carolina BBQ. Sid cooks whole pigs over coals. The chopped bbq was spot on with fantastic slaw and hushpuppies. The BBQ comes with a piece of crispy skin. The service was great and Sid the owner came and spoke to us and even gave us a tour of the pit. Be sure to come early, bring cash, and know they’re only open on Saturdays.
