Taylor & Sons BBQ

Taylor & Son’s BBQ is a beloved barbecue spot in Havelock, North Carolina, best known for its signature chicken barbecue. Each chicken is lavishly coated in a proprietary rub, marinated, and then slow‑cooked for approximately four hours over a blend of hardwood hickory and charcoal—resulting in tender, smoky meat that “melts in your mouth”  Their menu doesn’t stop there: succulent, fall‑off‑the‑bone ribs offer another smoky delight, while their sides—particularly the baked beans—add depth with a “unique twist you won’t find anywhere else”

In addition to their stationary offerings, Taylor & Son’s BBQ extends into the community through food‑truck catering and pop‑ups at local events and breweries. They’ve proudly served at spots like New Village Brewery & Taproom, selling out despite rain—which speaks to their local popularity and commitment to delivering even in challenging circumstances. Ultimately, it’s their blend of meticulous slow-smoking, flavorful rubs, and community-first presence that make Taylor & Son’s BBQ a standout for North Carolina barbecue lovers.
