Nestled in the heart of Southeastern North Carolina, BBQ House stands as a beacon for barbecue enthusiasts. It’s not just the best BBQ in the region; it’s the best eating experience on Oak Island. The pork is smoked to a tender, flavorful perfection, and the sides are nothing short of spectacular. The fried okra is crispy and golden, the baked beans are rich and savory, and the hush puppies are the perfect blend of crispy and soft. But what truly sets BBQ House apart is its mastery of sauces. The Lexington sauce is a tangy delight, while the Eastern NC Sauce adds just the right amount of vinegary punch to complement the smoky meats. It’s a culinary craft that BBQ House has perfected, making it a must-visit destination. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, BBQ House is the place to go for an authentic taste of Southern barbecue. It’s the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars and has rightfully earned its place as the best eating on Oak Island.

The BBQ House is a must when you’re in this area! You can tell that their time and effort goes into the quality of the food and service. They are super friendly and casual and their food is incredible!!! Highly recommend the brisket, pork, hush puppies, onion rings, sweet potato fries, green beans, and Mac & cheese.

Good food! One way to tell a good place if they have their own sauces! If you’re into pork it’s great. Chicken and Beef brisket is not up to standards very chewy. Bit overall tastes great! I got onion rings and corn cob sided - all was amazing- Crunchy and soft.

I have to give a high five and praise to Jenny and Codee. Every single time I come in with my family I usually get either one of those ladies and they do such an amazing job! Food is always so delicious! We have no issues when coming here. Portions are really nice. The ladies bust their butt here waitressing!! I have been here for almost 5 weeks visiting my family and we have eaten out sooo much and I have to say the service here is always the best!

My family and I got take out tonight and it was so good - literally everything was awesome! Portions were generous and we especially appreciated the napkins, plastic cutlery, and lots of sauces and cinnamon honey butters to enjoy in our rental!

What a delightful BBQ experience! We arrived with a party of 6. The outdoor space had wonderful tables to wait. Once we went in, we were greeted by an attentive waiter. The pulled pork was delicious and tender with the spicy tangy sauce. They were out of Mac and cheese and brisket but the food did not disappoint. The 1/2 chicken was fragrant and juicy. The white coleslaw was refreshing. The wings were tender and flavorful ! The fried corn on the cob was my favorite side, with some salt, it was crispy and full of flavor. The hush puppies with honey butter were outrageous!! I ordered the key lime pie which was not too tart, creamy but sweet in a good way. I would recommend this restaurant to any BBQ lover, it did not disappoint!

We ate here while vacationing with family and had an awesome experience. My brother is gluten free and the waitress was very knowledgeable on what would work for him on their menu, and they had several options for him. Everyone else was happy with their meals, as well. Highly recommended!
