Old Tyme and Coopers are the closest you can get to real country food within a 5 minute drive from campus

i like RH&B....well, I first had it at UNC prob 4 years ago. I haven't had it in Raleigh/Cary. My fam went back to the Chapel Hill location a little bit ago and saw that it had changed to some Jim's BBQ.

Idk, I like memphis-style.

4/2/2007 1:04:55 PM

is memphis-style tomato based? if so it sucks

4/2/2007 1:16:54 PM

I am glad to know that something is finally going where the Darryls used to be. It has been vacant way too long!

4/2/2007 1:19:33 PM

how many of you actually ate at that Darryls?

4/2/2007 1:24:43 PM

i used to eat there all the time when i lived in North Hall

Oh heaven forbid we have more than 2 bars on a college street.

Red's Beach Music was going to reopen there, and they wanted way too much and wouldn't allow any fun.

I think he needs to retake some economics and investment courses.

I loved that place...I spent many evenings there.

I'm glad to hear something is finally going in that spot--it has been vacant for far too long.

i never ate there. it closed i think soon after i started here. so i'm glad to see something finally go there, now that i'm a senior.

4/2/2007 2:02:14 PM

Need something good in that spot. A microbrewery would have been magnificent.

4/2/2007 2:07:32 PM

is memphis style like western NC style?

and what exactly is lexington style?

4/2/2007 2:11:44 PM

lexington is eastern style

western is pulled pork, with a tomato based sauce

eastern is chopped pork, with a vinegar based sauce

Lexington is the furthest west you can get Eastern BBQ, and it's by far the best there.

4/2/2007 2:13:17 PM

atleast there will hopefully be a little bit of parking for that place unlike all the other crap on hillsborough

4/2/2007 2:17:05 PM

god forbid you walk a block or across a street.

4/2/2007 2:17:38 PM

whats the kind with the mustard based sauce?

...not everybody lives across a street or a block away from hillsborough
so having a little bit of parking is convenient ass hole

4/2/2007 2:24:58 PM

I ate at Darryls as well when it was open.

eastern style also uses the whole pig while lexington style is the shoulder not the whole pig.

4/2/2007 2:30:17 PM

^^^neither do i. you can park on campus after five and there is usually PLENTY available. otherwise, lots of businesses on h'boro have parking behind their businesses. and if they don't have that, then you can park on a side street or on vanderbilt


i've lived offcampus longer than you've been in school and i've never looked for more than 2 or 3 mins for parking on hillsborough.

Any good college street is gonna have shitty parking. It's a sign of growth.

Lexington>Coopers>Smithfield's

Red Hot and Blue can't even stand there.

4/2/2007 4:10:13 PM

ole time fucking sucks
i used to live 2 minutes from there but would rather drive 20 minutes to smithfields

ole time has nasty slaw also

4/2/2007 4:13:46 PM

a few friends & i took a day trip to lexington to get BBQ during HS. we ran into the martin luther king jr. parade & asked the traffic director cop where some good BBQ was. pretty good even though i'm not a fan of vinegar style.
also, when i was in australia we told someone where we were from and he said "North Carolina? Lexington BBQ eh mate?"
i'll have to try this memphis style if red hot & blue opens up before i leave.

4/2/2007 4:32:30 PM

god i so want some lexington bbq right now

4/2/2007 4:34:40 PM

RH&B is ok.... but I don't think it'll do too well there since lots of NCSU'ers are more partial to GOOD bbq. I mean really, whatchamacallit tried and left already... oh heck... what's it called... Q Shack! There it is...

I was excited when I saw that sign a while back saying a restaurant called "Raisin' Ale" was going in that spot... that had true potential. Plus, I thought it was a catchy name. Guess the $ wasn't right.

4/2/2007 4:36:02 PM

the old darryls needs be some kind of red neck themed club i.e. city limits type place

when is the owner going to figure this out

Like I said, he won't allow it.
Guy who runs melvins told me he wanted to have a bar next door, and they wouldn't let him.

Stupid old people who think that living across the street from a college should be "quiet"

4/2/2007 4:51:13 PM

Hahah i like their dry rub...mmm

4/2/2007 5:30:00 PM

JESUS CHRIST. They have fucking RUINED the memories of that old place by putting in a red hot and blue


I hope it burns to the fucking ground now

4/2/2007 5:33:21 PM

awesome, some chain bullshit

lame as fuck

[Edited on April 2, 2007 at 5:38 PM. Reason : ']

4/2/2007 5:37:31 PM

Still better than Q-Shack IMO.

4/2/2007 5:43:38 PM

i love all styles of barbecue. there's is great particularly because it's so tender

4/2/2007 6:30:51 PM

Allen & Son's in chapel hill is by far the best!

what? no it didn't. there's still one on capital. i swing through the drive through out back every chance i get when i'm out that way for work.

^^i think he was probably talking about it being the best there. anyone with half a brain knows that other areas in eastern nc have much better stuff. personally, i consider the wilson and rocky mount general areas to be the best.

True... But the one on Hillsborough was THE original and when it went franchised it stayed in the Eure family and was not part of the franchise.

on the subject of hillsborough st restaurants, does anyone really like mitch's?

i mean, the food is ok, but the menu is terrible. you are a bar, make a fucking burger. i don't want salad with chicken salad on top of it.

4/3/2007 1:15:01 AM

i assume they don't want to have to deal with a grill or anything

the reuben is good, and i kinda like the chili sometimes

4/3/2007 1:26:21 AM

^^Food is horrible unless your department is having an event there then he caters fine foods.

They hurt themselves recently, no smoking at all period there now. While I hate smoking and the stench the next moring after drinking all night at a bar, people who go to bars like to smoke.

4/3/2007 1:37:20 AM

bbq and ribs company: eastern nc style


thats the best around campus that i've had, reminded me (almost) of places i live near back east. its on st. marys if anyone wants to try it, pretty cheap and great brunswick stew and hushpuppies, too.
