Allen and Son
Location
If you pass by Allen & Son, you will be ignoring the advice of Bob Garner, author of North Carolina Barbecue: Flavored by Time. Garner says the “homemade, chunky, skins-on” french fries are reason enough to stop.” But he loves the barbecue, too, which he says is “coarsely chopped into meltingly tender chunks, sprinkled through with shreds of deep brown, chewy outside meat.” Not finished with his praise, Garner says that Allen & Son serves “one of the tastiest and most authentic versions of Brunswick stew that I’ve run across.”
