Shepard Barbecue - Emerald Isle

A must try while visiting Emerald Isle.Get there early to avoid the crowd. We visited in a weekday so it wasn’t too bad.Our favorites were:BrisketRibsPit BeansSmoked SausagePulled PorkMac CheeseWe ordered 3 of the platters to feed 7 adults 5 children had LOTS left over!Oh, we also snagged the featured desserts and they were so good! The Chocolate Mousse cake was delish!

Came here because of the reviews. I love pulled pork. Not sure where the reviewers ate but my experience was not even remotely close. The brisket order was one piece of fat and one of brisket. The pulled pork was about 1/8th fat. Nothing special about the non fat portions of brisket or pulled pork. Out of stock on nearly half the menuand most sides at 12:30. Beans, potato salad, cole slaw were edible but nothing special, but the corn was yuk . Drinks were individual purchases rather than a fountain drinks with refills. Definitely a mistake to eat here on my part..Parking: 7 sport at least one with an employee in it

It is a deeply stupid business model to have people get there early, wait an hour in line, and then run out of items an hour into a 4-hr open time.

Bought 4 racks of Ribs, One side of Potato Salad and one side of Cole Slaw, and mustard for the ribs. It came to $285 dollars, which I thought was way too much for what we had. Of course we wanted to try it, food was good but not worth the money spent.
