"Sam Jones is one of America’s most foremost pitmasters, and for years fans had to make the trek east to Winterville, North Carolina, to get a taste of his award-winning barbecue. Luckily Jones and his team opened a Raleigh location that serves much of the same menu, with some twists for the big city folk. Go-tos include the Jones family barbecue tray (smoked pulled pork, a piece of Skylight Inn-style cornbread, and a side) and the Jones family chicken tray (choice of white or dark meat slow-smoked chicken quarter, choice of bread, and a side). There’s also fried catfish bites, pork skins, and pimento cheese, with plenty of sides and salads." - Matt Lardie
