We stopped at the well known Parker's BBQ Restaurant in Wilson. We loved the setup: country setting with waiters wearing white long sleeve shirts, white aprons & paper hats. It was like a step back to the '50's. Everyone was so nice. We loved it! Now to the food. The BBQ was a bit dry, but very good! It was seasoned lightly with a pepper vinegar sauce. Good ENC flavor. My only dislike was the small chopped up (small squares) of gristle mixed with the meat. The sides were few, but good. Tea was a bit sweet. Glad we made the trip! Give Parker's a try.

Among my favorite barbecue experiences I've ever had. The North Carolina whole hog method is brilliantly represented here. The dinner includes an all you could eat option with a 2 piece fried chicken. If you are traveling through on 95 this is a must stop! Sweet tea is a typical indication of how good a Carolina joint is and here they serve it exceedingly well, really cuts through the richness of the meal and keeps you asking for more.

Parkers is an Eastern NC staple. Happen to be working in the Wilson area so stopped in the Parkers for lunch. I had the BBQ chicken and the pork BBQ. Both were fantastic! I enjoyed all of the sides and the corn sticks are to die for! Even the sweet tea at parkers is a step above the rest. Be aware that they are a cash only business but they do have an ATM on site which saved me from washing dishes :). Highly recommend you try parkers if you're in the area!
Ordered 4 lbs of the pulled pork BBQ which was shipped to Pennsylvania. I was stationed in NC for 13 years and tried alot of eastern NC BBQ. While I did find it quite good I really wasn't a fan of the appearance or consistency. I was expecting it to be more like Wilbers BBQ in Kinston. Overall I would recommend!
