I would die for their chicken, seriously, the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. Don't tell my grandma. And the butter beans and banana pudding I love this place so much.
Oh, my goodness!!! This was some of the best Eastern North Carolina BBQ I've ever had, and I've had lots. It was so tender and smooth, and it didn't need any additional sauce although sauce was available. The restaurant is an iconic stop on the NC BBQ Trail for a reason. The ladies who work behind the counter are just as sweet as can be. Lovely, gracious ladies! As for the atmosphere, it's typical old-style NC BBQ joint. Very informal. The health grade was 100, for those who worry about such things.
Good people good food! You can't beat good food and service love Grady's not to mention they were featured in our state magazine once! So run
UPDATED REVIEW: Grady's is definitely known for their bbq which is delicious fresh and taste good. Definitely enjoyed the collard greens which also had a good flavor I personally felt the cabbage wasn't quite to my liking but everyone season their cabbage differently. Hush puppies were ok but the sweet potato pie was definitely a 10/10. Not only is the food good but their customer service was great friendly and got my order out quickly.
Going to close out the year with a review of a classic barbeque shack, Grady's! Dropped in on a trip out to Kinston and it was totally worth the detour. White cinderblock restaurant with no windows and weathered signage. Inside there's an order window with a piece of paper listing the menu items and prices in hand-written type. I did the barbeque dinner with 2 sides for $12. You get a heaping pile of tender pork, smokey with a hint of sweetness, delicious! And live the field peas on the side, I was less thrilled by the cabbage which was just ok. But overall, I loved my meal and would like to come back and try the chicken if I'm in the area again!
