Fodor's Expert Review Allen and Son Barbecue

$ Chapel Hill Barbecue

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

If you're hankering for the tang of vinegar-based barbecue sauce, then this is the 'cue for you. Located a bit out of town, this family-owned spot has been serving slow-cooked pork plates, sandwiches, and all the traditional fixins' for decades. Though the interior is a bit worn and the hours can be unpredictable, all kinds of people make the pilgrimage to this out-of-the-way landmark daily. Make it a point to try the famous hush puppies.
