The Prime Smokehouse

Be part of downtown's revitalization by visiting this family-friendly eatery known for its saucy Texas-style barbecue. A combo plate is the best way to try a little of everything: select from ribs, brisket, wings, smoked sausage and even eastern North Carolina-style pulled pork. The menu is lengthy and includes many Southern favorites, such as gumbo, fried catfish and shrimp and grits, plus steaks, sandwiches, burgers and salads. Sample a bunch of the lip-smacking sides with a veggie plate. The macaroni and cheese, dense with cheesy goodness, is not to be missed.
