Had to go to Cleveland, NC Wednesday, so on the way back I took a detour to Doc Browns on the spur of the moment. I chose it because I like the name. Man was I pleasantly surprised. They don't offer a sampler plate so I decided to get a pulled pork sandwich with collards and a cuke and tomato salad. Everything was excellent. The pork was well seasoned and moist, the greens tender and flavorful and the cuke/tomato salad refreshing. The sauces were good too, a choice of vinegar based, tomato based and mustard. I used the mustard sauce. Definitely worth the trip, I'll be checking them out again.

I live in no man's land on the east, we do NOT have good BBQ here. The most famous is Wilbers but it's absolutely trash (or was before it shut down, we haven't been back). We had a pretty good place for a few weeks ran by a comp bbq guy, until he got caught kidnapping and raping a lady in his place. I don't care about sauce type, I just like good food and all the places people rave about lately are WAY out of my way. I'm not doing a 3+ hour trip just for lunch.Last edited by ItsAllGoneToTheDogs; July 9, 2022, 07:29 PM.

ItsAllGoneToTheDogs , I hear what you’re saying but Goldsboro, Kinston and Wilson will have a legacy of some of the best pit cooked BBQ in eastern NC. Scott’s, Griffin’s and Wilbur’s will go down in history as having started something that was unmatched for a long time. Parker’s and King’s likewise. But legacy doesn’t feed your desire currently, does it? I lament, as you do, the dearth of good BBQ in my hometown and the area. When I smoke a pork butt, you can bet the bank that I’m using Scott’s sauce on it or something that I create that mimics it.

Sauce wise, we like Scotts and there was another brand we really liked but can't find it in the store anymore. Smithfields actually isn't too bad, but I mostly make my own E. NC sauce but mines too spicy for my wife's tastes The sad thing about most of the BBQ around me right now is it really feels like it's coming out of a crockpot, and crockpot pulled pork is great but it's not what I want from a BBQ place.
