Sam Jones BBQ
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Sam Jones BBQ does whole hog the Eastern North Carolina way: wood-fired, no apologies, no shortcuts.
This is where it started. Wood-fired whole hog barbecue, cooked low and proper, the way the Piedmont has done it for generations. Sam Jones built something that works — simple enough that it's opened more than one location, but rooted enough that the original still matters.
Open daily from 11 a.m., six days a week until 9 p.m., and Sundays until 8:30. Find it on Fire Tower Road in Winterville, or online at samjonesbbq.com.
