In the 1940s, Glen Bullock started selling his barbecue door-to-door. Years later, he would join forces with his wife Lillian, a skilled cook and baker, to open the original Bullock’s Bar-B-Cue. Their restaurant is a well-loved, family-owned and operated fixture in Durham serving family-style all-you-can-eat barbecue pork and fried chicken. Pair your barbecue with coleslaw, string beans, fries or hushpuppies. (Also, the restaurant is cash only, so make sure to bring those bills!)

On our way from VA to TX and I wanted my family to try some real NC BBQ. It was perfect! Right off 85 and the food was great! The BBQ, Brunswick Stew and the Mac N Cheese were 10 stars! Plus, the service was amazing! Even my Texan hubby loved the BBQ and slaw. The kids loved the huge grilled cheeses. Enough for the little ones to split one. Plus, you can't beat the prices. Fed all 7 of us for under $50. Super glad we stopped in.

I suggest that you do not go on your lunch break or within a time frame if ordering carry out. The line is long and the service is slow in the carry out line. After waiting a long while, about 20-30 minutes, after taking the gentleman's order before me, When I was at the window, they all left the window and started working on the orders in dine in, not even asking me my order after I had waited about 45 min at this point. I eventually got tired of no one coming to the window and left. Also, they do not accept credit cards and have a convenient ATM at the front to give you cash for paying the restaurant but you must pay $2.50 to get the cash! Also, the food is more expensive. Yes, they had to raise their prices due to inflation, however the slow service and atmosphere does not reflect those prices. One thing positive, I remember the food being delicious years back. Too bad I couldn't try it this time. But if you're stuck on Bullock's by all means, keep going and enjoy the friendly, yet slow service and don't forget your cash or you'll have to pay $2.50 to get cash. I'm sure some people do not mind waiting. But if you aren't one that does, you may need to find another place to dine.

I was part of a group that enjoyed our lunch at this establishment in the Bill City - Durham NC -conveniently located off I 85 Hillsborough Road- situated among numerous customer experiences and a short drive to a major hospital-a Walgreens included. A home like - home style environment- no frills but excellent home style food.I had the pork chops plus turnip greens - Mac & cheese & yams- enough food for a take out meal. Others in the group had fried chicken- beets - potato salad- home style steak & gravy - & other delicious food items- our food was fresh - cooked to our taste - delicious- our server was very efficient- down to earth - amazingly had everyone’s order down pat - friendly - courteous- the owner Ty - graciously greeted us - this is a cash only payment location with an atm located in the outer corridor- no credit cards accepted.The parking is a little tight right in front of the location especially at the time we visited- the lunch crowd- but generous parking close by - & a drop off location with an overhead shelter for accessibility-my meal which included 2 pork chops and three sides plus a drink was $19.85 plus the tip - I feel the quality & quantity of food was reasonable.
