Corolla Village BBQ - Corolla, Outer Banks Restaurant
The Scene - Vacationers visiting the quaint shops in the historic Corolla Village follow the ambrosial smells of smoking meat to this beloved barbecue stand. Savvy diners are not put off by the shack's modest appearances. The line generally stretches from the ordering counter well beyond the squeaky screened door of this tiny, one-room operation. The sitting area consists of a handful of picnic tables scattered just outside the shack.

The Food - The simple menu consists of sticky-finger, North Carolina-style barbecue. Tender ribs covered in tangy red sauce are infused with smoky flavor. Plump, juicy chicken breasts are a perfect base for the sweet, tomato-based sauce. The moist pulled pork sandwich is best topped with coleslaw and piquant vinegar sauce. Sides include sweet baked beans swimming in bits of bacon, nutmeg and cinnamon spiced candied yams, standard potato salad and delightfully dewy cornbread.

Delicious ribs! 5/4/2010
Reviewer:

I'm basing my review on only trying their ribs, but the ribs alone are worthy of giving this place 5-stars. It's a small shack off the main road next to Twiddy's office in Corolla so it was a bit hard for us to find at first. I ordered a half rack of their spare ribs. I'm a big rib aficionado, and these were excellent ribs. Not the best I've ever had, but top 3. Nice bark, perfect pull off the bone, and the sauce they douse the ribs in was out of this world! I'll be back next vacation to try the rest of their menu!

Second what everyone else has said. Best BBQ I've ever eaten, hands down. Ribs and chicken are great but the pulled pork is absolutely phenomenal. The vinegar based sauce is perfect - tons of flavor and just enough heat. Worth the drive from anywhere on the OBX.
So Good 9/28/2009

Corolla BBQ has become our one sure stop. We tried the ribs, chicken and pulled pork, plus a few of their side salads this summer. We had 7 people (4 adults & 3 teenagers), spent $80 and had leftovers because there was more than enough food. Once again everything was excellent.

This is awesome BBQ. I have tried the pulled pork, the whole chicken and the ribs. They have two sauces, one with vinegar and the other with lots of pepper. They are both great. As a big plus for our family (two with peanut and tree nut allergies) they don't use any peanut oil nor are they roasting peanuts onsite like another BBQ place down there.
Best BBQ on the Banks 7/5/2009

It's an annual pilgramage we make to this modest shack that puts out some of the best NC style pork BBQ. Try the beans too!

Corolla Village BBQ has some of the best BBQ I have ever tasted! Chicken is wonderful too. Try the baked beans and order a coke (they are served in the small glass bottles). You can carry your food with you or dine at a picnic table outside under an old Live Oak treet. Located in Corolla Village.
