"Backyard BBQ Joint was named one of the South’s most legendary barbecue spots in 2021 by Southern Living magazine and it’s easy to see why. The family-owned joint has served smoked pork, turkey, brisket, ribs, chicken, and fish in all of the classic combinations to legions of Durhamites. There are platters, sandwiches, and pints to go. Don’t forget the sides of Brunswick stew, green beans, collard greens, and crave-able mac and cheese. Always get a gallon of the pineapple lemonade to take home." - Matt Lardie
