Enjoyed lunch at Abrams, Sunday, Sept 22,2024. Great southern BBQ, endless buffet, really inexpensive, and service outstanding.

Why is KFC famous and this place isn't?? Best chicken ever. Hushpuppies are off the chain too

this is our sunday breakfast place. staff is fantastic and food is great. everyone always leaves full and satisfied

Driving home from OBX we wanted some classic North Carolina BBQ. The classic "don't judge a book based on the cover" saying holds true for Abrams. You walk in and it might not look like much, the menu might look simple but the meal they give you is nowhere near average. I got the classic BBQ & fried Chicken dinner with boiled potatoes and collard greens. The chicken was juicy & crispy and tasted even better when I washed it down with sweet tea. I scarfed down my entire plate leaving full and happy. I wished I lived closer to get more meals like this - truly is a bang for your buck with such a quality meal and so many options. I hope to be back again!

We really wanted barbecue on the way home from the OBX, and we found this place on google and it had good reviews so we went. As luck would have it, they had a buffet! Normally I dislike buffets because I never get my money's worth, and I think they're nasty but an employee was up there constantly cleaning it! Plus, at a barbecue place they're perfect for me! I don't like a large serving of anything served at these joints, but I love a taste of everything! The fried chicken was moist, and fried perfectly, and I literally picked it clean (I'm aware that sounds gross!). I also loved the barbecue, the collards, the corn (Oh my god!), the chicken and dumplings, and the banana pudding. I didn't get to taste everything, but what I had was so good, I had to take some home!

Another nice Eastern style BBQ joint (a small chain actually) we had not been to in quite a while - ended that drought at lunch on the way back from the OBX. They serve all 3 meals, with a lunch & dinner buffet available ($8.99 with drink included), and they're open on Sunday. We got there about 10:45, and thought like many Mom & Pop places that also serve breakfast, that lunch items would be available, but they have a clean switch at 11. These nice folks had the buffet setup, so they opened it early for us. Now that's down home Eastern NC hospitality. The buffet was almost without exception excellent. The BBQ is moderately chopped, well sauced with an Eastern style sauced, moist and tender, though there is no smokiness. This is nice Eastern pig. The Beef Stew was as good as I've had in a restaurant - the chunks of beef were falling apart tender, and flavorful. The Fried Chicken was also just superb - great crust, fried perfectly, and very well seasoned. I'm not kidding, this chicken went immediately into my top 5. The Chicken 'N' Pastry was also excellent, the collards were good as well. The Hushpuppies are as good as you're likely to find. The Banana Pudding was just so-so - no actual cutup banana there. The cheesy Scalloped potatoes were killer. Although we didn't try any on this visit, this folks also do great fried seafood. Very good BBQ, and much more here. Very nice value at $8.99 including drink, and exceptionally friendly, accommodating folks. I ask for a copy of their take out menu, and they were out, so the lady at the register gave me one of their plastic inhouse ones to take with me. We'll definitely be back, and probably soon.
