Wilber’s Barbecue Review and Smokehouse Tour in Goldsboro, NC- Eastern NC Whole Hog BBQ

Wow! We had the pleasure of visiting Wilber’s Barbecue in Goldsboro, NC. They fix barbecue the old fashioned way- low and slow. Whole hogs are cooked overnight on oak embers over open pits. Then they fix/chop the barbecue fresh for you before they open. This is the most labor intensive way to fix barbecue and you can taste the difference! Come along with us as we try this amazing restaurant for the first time and take you on a tour of the smokehouse.

Enjoyed watching y'all and the interview was 👍 to watch low and slow they know how to do it 😆

[@vafunseekers]

Yes they do! They don't take shortcuts. You can taste the difference. We found the smokehouse so interesting. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Have a fabulous week!

[@HitchHikingYeti]

Everything looked so good. Even the corndog nuggets.😁 I would like to try the ribs. I love smoked ribs! Thank you for showing me another great place to eat. Safe travels friends!

[@vafunseekers]

Everything was delicious! The ribs were outstanding! Not always a big rib eater but these were some of the best I have ever had. Would definitely like to have them again. Thanks for your continued support!

Thank ya'll SO MUCH for trying Wilber's- I could almost smell & taste it on the video 🐽 ♥ 😋 !! Hey David, some of my kinfolk were from Brunswick County Va., so I wasn't used to green beans in my brunswick stew either 😂....REMEMBER: next time ya'll are on hwy 70, you GOTTA try the buffet at McCall's bbq & seafood 🐽 🦐 🐠 😋!! Thanks Again ! Take Care & God Bless 🇺🇸

[@vafunseekers]

Our pleasure! Thank you for recommending the restaurant. We did see McCall's bbq & seafood too. Some people when they make stew will put just about anything in it. We follow our recipe so it is consistent. This stew was good but it was different than what I am use to. I have had some stew that after one bite I throw it away. Glad you liked the video. Hope you have a wonderful week.

Good to see you in NC. Nice video.

[@vafunseekers]

Thanks for watching! I know you are a bbq expert. Have you eaten here before?

[@smokenfirebbq]

We have visited Wilber's a few times and also got the pit tour! The food seems to be hit or miss. When they are on, they are great but it is always a roll of the dice. The ribs are sometimes very tough - the same with the pulled pork BBQ. When you ask the waitress, they shrug. When you email to notify management, they don't reply. Cool old place that borders the airforce base and sometimes the fighter jets fly overhead!

[@vafunseekers]

Our experience on the day we visited was exceptional. We have not had an opportunity to go back due to the distance. Consistency is the key to any good restaurant. We would definitely go back. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I love to make a Wilbers barbecue sandwich with the slaw and top it with the barbecue chicken gravy. Yum!

[@vafunseekers]

That sounds so good! That gravy was so good! We really enjoyed our meal here. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@amymclemore6551]

We have had a Wilber's craving ever since we saw this video. We made a trip to Goldsboro this morning!

[@vafunseekers]

That is so awesome! I know it was delicious! What did you get? Wanting some of those hushpuppies with gravy and David wants some more of those ribs!

[@amymclemore6551]

@@vafunseekers Randy got a combination plate and spare ribs. He was in heaven. He loves spare ribs. I got the bbq tray. That chicken gravy with the hushpuppies is soooo good.

[@vafunseekers]

@@amymclemore6551 Yummy!🐷🍴😍Have y'all ever been to McCall's BBQ & Seafood? The person who recommended Wilber's recommended this place too.

[@amymclemore6551]

@@vafunseekers McCall's is a popular local bbq and seafood buffet that has been around for years. We just happened to eat there one weekend night a few months ago, and the food was good, and the place was busy. It is almost right across the street from Wilbur's.

[@vafunseekers]

@@amymclemore6551 We saw it when we were there.

[@Hardmetal57]

Good review and good bbq ....

[@vafunseekers]

Thank you so much! We enjoyed our visit to Wilber's. We had a subscriber tell us about this place and we went here based on that. The food and service was amazing. Getting to see the pit was a bonus. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@DJ-zw5ze]

All the food looked so good. Y'all should try Parker's Bbq in Wilson NC if y'all are in the area.

[@vafunseekers]

Will definitely have to try it out if we are in the area. Looked at the website and the food looked yummy! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@trvlnthru]

We love Carolina barbecue! Your food looked delicious. It is really cool that you got a tour of the smokehouse as well! That is fascinating to hear about the overnight process to cook the barbecue. Thanks for sharing this deliciousness with us!

[@vafunseekers]

Yes it was! We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly. Maybe you will get to that area one day to try it out. I know y'all are always trvln_thru. Appreciate y'all!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Absolutely! If a man is going to pay good money for food, then he ought to be able to clean the bone! Loved Carly's "Ain't that the truth!". We both laughed at that one.

[@vafunseekers]

I agree Derick! Definitely should be able to clean the bone. You never know what Carly is going to say. Hope y'all are doing well.

[@EveryDayIsSaturdayTV]

There were so many original items here. The hush puppies with gravy sounds like an amazing combo. All of y’all’s plates looked delicious. The Wilber cookie had so many tasty ingredients - we bet it was fantastic. The total was so low given how much great food that you guys got.

[@vafunseekers]

We were so pleased with everything. The quality of food, the variety of food and the price was outstanding. The gravy had a bit of spice to it where hot sauce was added. Nothing too hot but it was tasty. You can't go to McDonald's and eat for the price we paid for this meal.

[@amymclemore6551]

We LOVED this vlog! We grew up going to Wilber's, but it has been a while. If you ever go there again, we'll meet you, our treat!

[@vafunseekers]

That would be awesome! What else is in the area? Always up for a road trip! Glad you enjoyed the video. We really enjoyed our food and the restaurant. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@lucretiz]

In Pittsburgh we have an annual ribfest in the month of Sept. Man I wish it was Sept already.

[@vafunseekers]

That rib fest sounds good. The ribs I got here at Wilber's were delicious. We had a subscriber ask us to go here so we did, and I am sure glad we decided to take this road trip. Everything we got here was delicious. Taking a tour of the smokehouse was a bonus. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day!!

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

Y'all should try County Seat restaurant in Powhatan, VA. Good country cooking

[@vafunseekers]

Yes it is a good place to eat at. I have eaten there several times while working. That’s a great suggestion! I always have enjoyed my meals that I have gotten. Will definitely have to put it on our to do list. Thanks for commenting. Have a great evening!

[@lindaobrien2908]

As I told you before, I remember visiting a barbecue restaurant in Goldsboro many years ago that served up half a pig on the counter and the customers pulled out the meat they wanted. This building looked a little familiar but it’s probably not the same place. Was really impressed how they prepare the pork. Would love to visit myself. Food looked so good!! I’m like you, I love good barbecue .

[@vafunseekers]

Sounds like a pig pickin'. 🐖Everything here was top notch. Would love for you to try the hushpuppies with gravy. The ribs and barbecue were some kind of good. Definitely good eating here. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@christophermcmasters4649]

If you come to carolina you gotta get chopped bbq.

[@vafunseekers]

We like chopped bbq. Where is your favorite bbq place in NC? Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@christophermcmasters4649]

@@vafunseekers I'm from Greensboro so I get bbq from stamey or Smithfields. Stameys near the coliseum is good. Get like a lb an some buns.

[@shawnmcpeak6184]

We live down the road from Wilbur’s. And we haven’t been there yet. Shame on us.

[@vafunseekers]

Definitely try it out. Wish we were closer. If you try it out let us know what you think.

[@jamesonquinn6950]

It was better before the old man died

[@vafunseekers]

This was our first time there and we really enjoyed it. Wish I could have went then. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@jamesonquinn6950]

I’ll put it to this way I remember waiting on a table for 30 minutes it was dame good all farm meetings were held there and mc calls down the road looked like a ghost town but I still like Wilber’s better
