Hursey’s Bar-B-Q

Location

You may have thought Hursey’s was in Burlington. “Well, you are almost right,” says Mike Starnes, owner of Hursey’s Bar-B-Q. “I am the only franchisee of Hursey’s; I worked with them in Burlington and learned how they cook.” Starnes grew up in Charlotte and opened his business in Morganton in the early 1990’s, building a big pit where he cooks the barbecue with wood coals just like Hursey’s in Burlington. Barbecue is the specialty, but Starnes says the local crowd loves catfish and chicken, and he is happy to oblige.

If you’re hungry for good Burlington-style barbecue, then Hursey’s is worth the few extra minutes from the interstate.
