Social Q Smokehouse - Morehead City

First time stopping by Social Q. I got the 3 meat platter. Pork, brisket and ribs. Everything was fantastic. Really liked their side of sauce. Baked beans were great. The rice pudding was on point.

Brisket was 5 stars for taste. Very tender and juicy, but portion size seemed a bit small for the price. Loved the house sausage too. Mac cheese was ok but seemed like an ingredient was missing. Only outdoor seating with no heaters so it too cold to dine.

This barbecue was outstanding, especially the chicken! We almost stopped at another place up the road but we’re so glad we held out for this one! The meats and sides were all delicious and the lemon pie was great too! We are only in town for a little while but we are already talking about going back for more chicken!

As a local I try my best to support local businesses. This was my first and last time eating here. I decided to try the smash burger. Which was overpriced for a burger to start with. But upon opening the bag and looking at the burger once I got home it appears it was put together by Hellen Keller. After taking my first bite I was greeted by a dry flavorless burger with a soggy bun.I will say however the potato salad was fire just wish they could afford to give you more than two spoonfuls. Especially with a 15 dollar burger. Then later that night I received the gift of food poisoning from said burger. So if all that sounds like something you would enjoy then I definitely recommend eating here.

Food was fresh and delicious. I went on a weekday then went again on a saturday. On friday they were slammed busy. Stood at the window for a solid 10 min before being greeted. Tried their brisket plate. About a quarter of the meat was fat. The rest of the food was delicious. Cost is quite high as the plate was $15. The next day (saturday) i just ordered 1/2 pound of brisket for i believe $12. This time i specifically asked that there was NO FAT AT ALL. i said this twice.. unfortunately it had just as much fat.
