High Cotton - Kitty Hawk, Outer Banks Restaurant
|
As Tarheel natives, we want to share with you the flavors and aromas that are unique to Eastern North Carolina Barbeque. Consistent temperatures and long hours of smoking with Hickory coals produce the characteristic pink coloring and sweet "outside brown" meat. Combine this with traditional side dishes and a glass of sweet tea and you’re in "High Cotton" - Outer Banks Barbeque at its very best!
Please come and enjoy this North Carolina delicacy, and take note of the photographs around our dining room that document this culinary heritage. Owners Matt Cooper and Will Thorp invite you to join them in continuing this heritage.

 Great selection of great tasting food 5/4/2010
Reviewer: JPritch from Lynchburg, VA

I'd rate High Cotton's "Q" a 4/5....but the atmosphere, friendly staff, and especially the made-to-order FRIED CHICKEN push this place over the top and worthy of a 5-star rating in my book.
If you're after ribs only, I'd recommend Corolla Village BBQ. But High Cotton makes a delicious pulled pork, and beef brisket which I don't think CVB offers. Their Fried Chicken, which is dropped in the fryer after you order it, was absolutely incredible. So crunchy on the outside and so juicy on the inside. The homemade mac-and-cheese (if you want soggy boxed Kraft shells-and-cheese, you won't find it here) was also delicious!
Top the meal off with an RC Cola and Moon Pie, and your belly will be happy! Very clean and new feeling restaurant, and really like the gentleman (manager/owner?) who walks the floor. We'll be returning next vacation.

Excellent Eastern NC BBQ 9/28/2009
Reviewer: Matt from NE Ohio

Very casual, nothing fancy, just good BBQ. Great pulled pork and pulled chicken - simple, tender and flavorful. Excellent sauces, especially the vinegar based stuff. Good southern style sides too, especially the Brunswick stew. Friendly staff and ownership.

Great BBQ 11/16/2007
Reviewer: Brian P from Yorktown, VA

My wife and I were looking for something good to eat at a not too expensive price. We found it here. The food was delicious and the price was just right. I had the brisquet sandich and my wife had the pulled BBQ chicken sandich. I love to eat BBQ and usually find some wherever I go and I have to say this was the best brisquet I've found. It had great flavor and not too much fat like I've seen many places. We'll definitely go back

Outstanding ribs, wonderful smoked chix 5/2/2007
Reviewer: Marguerite from Raleigh

We've been eating at High Cotton since it opened. We've eaten in and done take out. Very pleased and often recommend it to others.
Now when my husband first suggested going there I wasn't too excited, I'm not a big bbque fan and besides I can get it at home. But High Cotton has the most fabulous ribs I've ever eaten. They are St. Louis style, very meaty and with a fabulous slow-cooked taste. Their smoked chicken, either in a pulled chix sandwich or eaten right off the bones dipped in sauce, is also great.
We've eaten there so many times that Will recognizes us and always comes over to chat. And slip us an extra rib or side order! He's a charming host. The place is always spotlessly clean and the collection of old North Carolina photos on the walls is fascinating for anyone with an interest in history. High Cotton is super casual and inexpensive, great place to take the kids or folks who've never had NC style bbque.

 Good food 4/11/2007
Reviewer: Rob from Somewhere in Cyberspace

Good food, served simply. BBQ pork sandwiches served plain, add the amount of sauce you want. Good sides as well.
The only negative I experienced was when a waitress refills a drink without being asked, I assume refills are free. They weren't.

Great BBQ pulled pork and ribs 11/20/2006
Reviewer: Tim-OBX from KDH, NC
|
Not a fancy place just good old lunch and diner with BBQ and sides. Will cooks his BBQ fresh and it's not greasy or over smoked. He can have enough for you to take home or eat in the restaurant. If you like BBQ it is worth a try. Across from the new Hilton.
