We went to corkscrew at 12pm on a Friday and surprisingly there was a line out the door, but it went by fairly quickly. The staff were very nice and friendly and attentive. The barbecue was amazing very lean and the sauce definitely put it over the top. The sides were average. The potato salad was more Ranchi than I would have preferred. The beans and mac & cheese were pretty good.

This place is everything you'd expect and more from an EXCELLENT BBQ joint. The brisket is unmatched. The bark was seasoned beautifully, and every bite was moist and flavorful. Didn't even need the sauce, but speaking of the sauce, it was probably the most well balanced sweet and savory BBQ sauce I've had. As someone who has tried hundreds of varieties of red, vinegar, Carolina gold, etc, it might be the best red sauce I've ever had.The sides were also great, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience worth the travel and wait.

Good, old-fashioned BBQ. They received a Michelin star last year and I can see why. The meats were cooked just right and very flavorful. They had a sweet BBQ sauce on the side, but I didn't need it. The potato salad and the apple cobbler also knocked it out of the park! Located in Old Town Spring - the whole area is a vibe. I'd plan to spend some time exploring and making the most of the trip out.

The food was good. The atmosphere was great! The reason for the four stars for service is because as soon as we got in line we asked the line attendee to give us an estimated wait time and he said maybe 1-1.5 hour wait, but we ended up waiting four hours for a barbecue and thank goodness we were the last to get the brisket because that would have been a sad day! We ended up having to order a whole chicken because they were out of everything else. The only side left was potato salad, and it was delicious, but wish I wish I could've tried the mac & cheese and the ribs. Then after the long wait, the food was delicious. I do believe they had recently earned their Michelin star so that may have been the reason for such a long wait but they are the type of barbecue place that serves until they are sold out!
