Clyde Cooper's Barbeque

Parking: Parked in paid parking garage next door but it was free on the weekend.

The brisket was tough and bland. The brisket at The Original Q Shack and Lawrence's BBQ is better. The mac and cheese tasted like melted Velveeta cheese over noodles. The mac and cheese at Lawrence's BBQ is way better. Also, try a soul food spot for better homemade tasting mac and cheese. Finally, the greens were under seasoned.

Phenomenal experience. Ordered delivered catering and it was fantastic. Great food, plenty of it, and reasonably priced!

Clyde Cooper’s is a Carolina Staple and while the atmosphere and vibe were totally on point, I was sadly disappointed by the barbecue. I certainly enjoyed my lunch but compared to a few other places around town, I was left disappointed. The chopped pork was a little too strong in vinegar, it even pooled at the bottom of my tray, and the brisket was tough and underwhelming. Five stars for service and atmosphere. Three for food.

Great eastern NC BBQ. Great service. Good price. Old Raleigh photos and decorations.
