Worse meal I ever had , meat was watery, flavorless and everything was cold,had chicken and pork and fries and hush puppies . Hush puppies were like rubber obviously we're in micro wave, meat was chopped up not pulled pork\r And fries were…

I am a big fan of Carolina style BBQ, but it's hard to find really good recipes, since the vinegar can (if not done properly) dry out the meat. Stephenson's does it right, and BOY do they! We finally made the 25 minute trek out to this…

I am a little offended by khobbs37 with the dig about Yankees. I am from NY and I have eaten at Stephenson's numerous times since I moved here 5 years ago.\r \r They have excellent food. I love the BBQ and the fried chicken. The…

i live in wake forest an heard about stevensons, so i made the trip. it was well worth the drive to taste the authentic pit cooked bbq, the brunswick stew was delicious also. i loved the sweet salad cubes in the fresh made cole slaw to.…

I am an ACF CMC, retired now, taught the Ft. Bragg culinary team, at JWU, have won 19 ACF gold medals, over 30 years cooking bbq, had my own business, and I love Stephenson's. Their food is authentic, well made, fresh, flavorful, and the…

If you want authentic eastern style (vinegar based sauce) BBQ, this is still one of the best places you can go. They may fly under the radar, with some folks never having heard of this place, but the locals know this is the real deal. …

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!\r \r BBQ is the best! The fried chicken just melts in your mouth. The service is friendly and pretty quick. \r \r **Wish they'd serve more hushpuppies though - especially if you're waiting for the fried…

You can't beat Stephenson's for some of the best BBQ in the area! :) Yummy! It's simple fare: eastern NC BBQ, cole slaw, hushpuppies. You know, the usual that you expect from a good BBQ place. Get there early on a Friday or Saturday to…

I have to say Stephenson's is the definition of a family restaurant. It's owned by the same family as it always has been, and it has a great environment for families! The bar-b-q is amazing and cooked every day in their pit. The bar-b-q…

I don't know what the last reviewer was so upset about. Stephenson's Bar-B-Q is great! The "large pig" is a lot of food and inexpensive. My husband and I go there from time to time and can eat for $12. You can get home cooked food for…

No review since 2003, this joint is in need of another review. Drove there on the recommendation of my GPS. Not worth the 13 mile drive from Garner. Got a large BBQ plate but it didn't look large. The BBQ was just ok but it needed Tabasco.…

We have eaten in and taken out quite a few times. Both have been great. The food is always good and the prices are great! The potatoes are my favorite. We always argue whether to get fried or BBQ chicken, both are wonderful!

I admit I am really not a fan of this place. I thought the pups were dry and void of flavor. I found the Q somewhat dry and in need of sauce. Everything else was good, no question about that. But to be fair, Stephenson's just can't be…

I have been to couintless barb-q resteraunts around the state and this one takes it all. All you can eat family style served hot per portion just cant be beat for the money. The taste is just out of this world. You have to try some of…

This is the best barbecue I have ever had. They also have REALLY great barbecue chicken. They even have homemade fries. It's less than 6 miles from my house, so we eat there at least 3-4 a month.
