Headed to Topsail Island thru Greenville

Is there an outstanding place for BBQ in Greenville, NC? That’s our midway point and lunch stop.

I was underwhelmed by Kings in Kinston.

I've only tried Skylight Inn in Ayden. They are an institution, if you believe in such things. I think it is a must-visit if you're in the area -- not many people are driving through this area like you are. I thought the BBQ was quite good. I did not understand their cornbread slice. I was wondering if it was a traditional recipe from 200 years ago and this is how it used to be made before they invented sugar, chiles and cake flour. Watching the video below, that appears to be the case. There are several videos mentioning them:

Well fiddlestix, they’re closed on Sunday. Any other suggestions?

I have Sam Jones BBQ in Winterville, just south of Greenville, saved in my Google Maps. Never been there, so no idea. But Sam is from Skylight.

Looks promising.
