No doubt that Parker's BBQ is excellent - however - whenever I would drive the I-95 corridor from Silver Spring, Maryland to Florida, I would make it a point to stop at Weldon, North Carolina for Ralph's Barbeque. I considered that the best North Carolina barbeque possible. For around $9, you got the entire buffet and would come out stuffed with excellent food.

For all the non-North Carolina knowledgables, the North Carolina barbeque is 100% different from what is known as barbeque in Florida. It is not a tomato based sauce - in fact, there is NO tomato in the sauce at all. It is a vinegar and hot pepper sauce and is an acquired taste. Once you acquire the taste, it is what you will call barbeque from that point on!

I do love the ribs at Oakwood, though. I also do like the pulled pork sandwiches at Sonny's a whole lot. Great places and good prices!!
