Editorial Review for Bill Spoon's Barbecue – by Geoff Lutton
The Scene
Save for the mural on the back wall, the inside of this little joint is spare. But folks haven't been coming here since 1963 for the decor. They're here for the barbecue, plain and simple.
The Food
The barbecue is just the right juiciness with a fair amount of seasoning. It's eastern North Carolina-style, so don't expect to find a drop of anything remotely tomato to touch this stuff. It's good enough to eat with no sauce, but give the house hot sauce, a zingy vinegar-based concoction, a try. The hushpuppies keep coming, as does the sweet tea. Cole slaw, not too tangy, is as good as you'll find anywhere. Baked beans, the third member of the Carolina triumvirate, are just the right consistency.

Bill Spoon's serves the only barbecue I've ever had that's truly addicting. I've shared it with friends and family on the west coast and now I have to ship it regularly. This is Charlotte's "real deal" Eastern NC style with no sugar or tomato sauce, just the smoked cue seasoned with vinegar, red pepper and the passion for excellence that permeates every lean morsel. Top if off with crispy hush puppies, Charlotte's best sweet tea, and Spoon's banana pudding, and you'll be in hog heaven. Come hungry but don't come late; Spoon's does such a good business during the day it's not open for dinner.
