This is the best and freshest BBQ I’ve had in a long time. The collard greens are fantastic and the iced tea is perfect. I must mention the servers as they are the best so nice and keep your drink filled. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention their cobbler, it had the best crust in the world and the ice cream on top makes it perfect.

Today, I visited Stamey’s Barbecue to try North Carolina-style BBQ for the first time. I ordered a plate where you can choose your own sides, but I accidentally forgot to include one item I had really wanted to try—the hush puppies. Before going, I had done a bit of research and planned to try the chopped BBQ with collard greens, add a quarter chicken, and also get a cup of Brunswick stew. As someone who truly enjoys BBQ, I wouldn’t say the flavors were dramatically different from other regional BBQs, but it was still a special experience to taste a style that’s been around for over 90 years in North Carolina. What stood out the most for me was the Brunswick stew—it was hearty and packed with ingredients like corn, potatoes, peas, baked beans, and more. It had a richness and comfort to it that felt different from chili, but just as satisfying. What really makes me want to recommend Stamey’s to others is the genuine friendliness and efficiency of the staff, along with the warm, down-to-earth atmosphere. With food that good and service that welcoming, why wouldn’t you want to come back?

The food is always good every time I come here! The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is just as consistent as the food. Always a great experience — I’ll keep coming back.

First time in Greensboro, had to try this place! Really enjoyed the Brunswick stew, and the chopped pork plate. The vinegar based slaw was delicious with a little tang. I would definitely recommend enjoying the delicious food here. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I can see why they have been around for 94 years.....

Great local pork BBQ, chicken, dogs and cobbler. I'd describe this as eastern style with vinegar based dip. Ask for extra dip or no dip to suit your taste. All the other fix'ns you'd expect plus Pepsi products. Try the Brunswick stew!

Great food at reasonable prices and the only place I've found in Greensboro to get a decent hot dog.....so far. Only disappointed thing I've experienced, is their vinegar based slaw. Why??? ........and on a hit dog......Why???? If they could only fix that. It looks like they have a large committed following of older seasoned patrons that love the food......but overall it is pretty good.
