HELP NEEDED - NC/SC BBQ JOINTS

I love Clyde Coopers in downtown Raleigh. 

I'll respond later, but there's a BBQ trail on Visit NC .com that has more choices than you can shake a stick at. 

@JohnInCarolina may know exactly where that is located.  

If you are near the Pinehurst area check out the Pick n' Pig. Not sure of the geography down that way.

There is that....and then there is some real BBQ. Check out this earlier post. http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1188677/the-south-carolina-bbq-trail-for-those-who-may-be-passing-through-our-state

There maybe like two joints on that one.

When will you be in the Columbia area?  Maybe a coupla of us in the area could meet you for lunch?  Always a pleasure meeting up with fellow eggheads.  One of the better BBQ joints in Cola IMHO is Doc's BBQ near Williams Brice Stadium.  They have a really good lunch buffet.  I noticed the last time I was there that their pulled pork has gotten noticeably better over the last couple of years. Nice smokiness.  Another good BBQ joint is Southern Belly in Columbia.  They have good sandwiches, but they are lacking in sides.

Not to mention my favorite here in Cola Palmetto Pig. I love those @Dayl_SC has identified as well.

Brew-n-que in Cary which is right outside of Raleigh. Also the pit in downtown Raleigh 

+1 Pit.

I had some bbq in Greensboro at a BBQ and chicken place.  Chicken was good

I am partial to Palmetto Pigin Columbia, Hudsons Smokehouse in Lexington and Farm Boys in Chapin. My buddy bought Farm Boys in January. Went last weekend for first time. Probably the best sides around. BBQ is pretty good too

I will be in Columbia next Thursday (7/7) during the day,  Would love to meet some of you for lunch if people are free.  Thanks to everyone for the responses.  

I can meet up. Thursday is the best day....all fresh pork and hash.

@Chubbs, I just ate at Farm Boys for lunch today. They're always really good. I did notice their fried pork chops are paper thin now though. Don't remember them being that way in the past.  @GreenWave36 and @northGAcock , I'm game if y'all are too. I'm free for lunch on the 7th. And I think I've only eaten at Palmetto Pig once a few years ago. Wouldn't mind trying it again!

I am good regardless if @GreenWave36 is up for it (though i hope he / they are..... I have had a hankering lately for some Que and hash.

I just called them.....they re-open on Thursday the 7th. We are good. Let's take this to PM and we will zone in on times etc. Looking forward to it. Anyone else interested in joining us....drop us a PM or post here and we will bring you into the PM planning thread.
