Just a stone’s throw from Cary’s western edge, Ole Time Barbecue is a fixture for fans of true-blue North Carolina BBQ. Family-owned and operated since 1993, this spot is lauded by Southern Living and the News & Observer for its chopped pork, crispy hushpuppies, and old-school charm. While technically just outside Cary, it remains a local favorite for Cary residents seeking an authentic, nostalgic barbecue experience away from the crowds.
