Johnnys Barbecue - Louisburg

Food is terrible folks...BBQ is DRY!!!, the Brunswick stew tastes like a can of tomato paste and the fried

The food was tasty and some of the best fried chicken I've eaten. For as delicious as everything was the macaroni and cheese was terrible straight out of a box I think. Too bad they make everything else homemade and then cheat on the macaroni cheese. I'll eat there again minus mac n cheese.

Great late lunch stop for me and my daughter. Bbq plate was great!

I wouldn 't say I 'm an expert, but I 'm a huge fan of trying good bbq. This was good eastern carolina bbq. I was in town for work yesterday. I planned ahead and determined that this was the restaurant i was going to eat at. The slaw was great. The fried chicken was good. The macaroni was basic, but it was sufficiently cheesy and not bad. The hush puppies were awesome; great texture and great flavor. The sauce was excellent great flavor great bite. It was definitely the detail of the meal that won me over. You can have perfectly smoked pork, but bad sauce will ruin it. This did not disappoint. The portions were very reasonable Their service was pretty quick and the staff was pleasant enough. I read another review that bashed the decor, frankly I didn 't see anything wrong with it. It wasn 't extravagant or anything, just basic carolina bbq joint decor displaying things from their town. If I find myself in louisburg again, I 'll be back. I 'd like to see fried okra on the menu, but it isn 't a deal breaker. It was a great meal.

They serve brisket on Thursdays after 4:00 pm until it runs out. This ex-Texan was impressed! The place is always clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the rest of the food, including dessert, was excellent.
