Dine Like a Local
Sure, we have a variety of chain restaurants with hamburgers, pizza, and steaks. But while in JoCo, you might like to try our local BBQ, slow-roasted in the Eastern NC style. Or, if you are a proclaimed “foodie”, there are several chef-driven farm-to-table dining experiences throughout the county.
If you are in a hurry, we have convenient fast food at all major exits along I-95 and I-40...but, we encourage you to spend just a little more time and get a local recommendation -- we are sure you will enjoy local favorites!
We like our tea sweet and our hush puppies hot!
