North Carolina's famous Eastern-style barbecue (no tomato or sugar, plenty of vinegar and cayenne) has kept patrons coming to Bill Spoon's Barbecue since it opened in 1963. This Charlotte institution cooks the whole pig, and as their sign says, "It makes all the difference." Though the decor is sparse, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming at this family-owned venue.
You'll often find the owner himself, Bill Spoon, working the counter, and he'll be glad to offer you a sample. Try the signature hot sauce -- a zesty, vinegar-based concoction -- on your sandwich, which comes topped with a mustard and mayonnaise-based coleslaw. Add hushpuppies or barbecued potatoes and wash it all down with traditional Southern sweet tea. There's also banana pudding and apple pie for dessert. Lunches are busy, so expect a short wait. -- Staci Falkowitz

Best Barbecue in the Southeast
Multilinedesigns - 07/02/2008Bill Spoon's is the best barbecue in Charlotte....hands down. I make a 20 minute drive once a week to satisfy my craving. I must also mention that they offer the best service in town. You are always greeted with a smile and you know your business is truly appreciated.

DaleRoss43 - 06/29/2008No it is not Texas BBQ; Texas is good for beef but takes seconds to NC or Pork. Nor is it Memphis style; add to that Kansas City and a whole host of other locations that have great BBQ. Each location that cooks pork has distinct styles and flavors.
Spoonâs cooks the whole pig long and serves it traditional Eastern NC style; smoked and un-sauced. The sauce they provide is spicy vinegar based sauce. The pork is not sauced while it is cooked, adding flavors that hide the true flavor of the pork like some other styles will do.
Spoonâs rates up there with the better establishments in Eastern North Carolina from Wilson, Rocky Mount, Goldsboro and many other points to the east of Charlotte. Without question it is the best BBQ in Charlotte and I think I know que. I eat at many different BBQ establishments a year around the country, eating BBQ several times a week.Bill Spoons BBQ
