Simple - BUT THE BEST!

by CharlesRoy

King's BBQ - - simple - good - NC style - vinegar sauce the best. Had BBQ "everywhere" - but nothing beats the "toasted" buns and taste of the BBQ. I've NEVER had any gristle or fat - just pure minced BBQ. My only disappointment...when I've driven there and it's closed@! But I'll always go back for more!

  • Pros: Nothing tastes better
  • Cons: Not always open

Good down home barbecue and wonderful service

by janeoak

We drive from Short Pump to Petersburg often to get some of the best barbecue on earth. Good service, cheap prices, good food. I have lived all over the south and west and I think King's is one of the best places for barbecue. Not a fancy place just a good place for good barbecue.

  • Pros: good food good service
  • Cons: not fancy
