Wilson County Barbecue celebrates pit-smoked, whole hog barbecue done the old-fashioned way in a comfortable gathering place replete with Southern hospitality and unfussy charm.

Headed by native North Carolinian Spencer Brantley, our barbecue is cooked in the traditional Eastern North Carolina, pit-smoked whole hog style, using recipes and techniques handed down through generations of the Brantley family of Wilson County, North Carolina. It’s a sub-regional tradition anchored around the wood-fired, pit-smoked whole pig, and in the convivial experience of sharing slow-crafted food and drink with friends and neighbors.

Wilson County Barbecue is a beacon for the best authentic Eastern North Carolina Barbecue, and for good times day and night.

We offer a set all day menu with rotating sides and specials 7-days a week. On Saturday's and Sunday's we offer a brunch menu from 9:00am-3:00pm. Our regular menu starts at 11:00am on weekends. 

We are a fully scratch kitchen, meaning that our food is served fresh and with fresh ingredients. We have 25 mostly local beers on draft and operate a counter service style restaurant. Orders are placed upon arrival at the Order Now counter and a text message is sent to you when your order is ready to be picked up at the Pick Up window. We can’t wait to “meat” you!
