TOTALLY FLY FUN FACTS: 

DID YOU KNOW: We are located on the The North Carolina Historic BBQ Trail not just once, but twice! Wilber’s Barbecue and Grady’s BBQ are famous nation wide for keeping with the whole-hog, pit-cooked pork over wood and signature Eastern, North Carolina vinegar-based sauce tradition alive. It’s no wonder we have have smoke and vinegar in our veins!
DID YOU KNOW: Goldsboro-Wayne County has it’s own barbecue feud. This feud, much akin to Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, has divided neighbors, families and friends over the biggest question of them all: McCall’s or Wilber’s barbecue? We recommend you try all of the barbecue and let us know your choice. 
DID YOU KNOW: Our barbecue scene has inspired more than just the historic vinegar-based barbecue. A few years back, Adam’s Roadside BBQ opened up selling both Eastern-style barbecue with influences from barbecue all across the country! Most notably is his famous Texas beef brisket that people travel from miles around to taste.
