With that kind of selection, is it any wonder our readers love them? Best BBQ Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken 523 Grove St. 910.483.1884 or www.capefearbbq.com Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken is truly a well- established family business. It began in 1977 when Junius and Maggie Moore opened Smithfield BBQ. They raised their son in the restaurant, passing on recipes, knowledge, standards — and most importantly — a love for the business. In 1999, the younger Moore, now with a college degree and a lifetime of experience, decided to take the plunge himself. He opened Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken with the help of his family. He keeps the core tenants of restaurant ownership that his parents taught him years ago. Cape Fear BBQ and Chicken is welcoming, customer-oriented and most importantly, the food is always fresh and delicious. Of course, Moore has added some of his own flare to the establishment, but the motto holds true, "It's like eating at home" so stop by and visit, enjoy our fresh food and let us clean up the mess!" Best Hamburger Five Guys Burgers and Fries Several Locations 910.485.3400 www.fiveguys.com Five Guys Burgers and Fries began in 1986 as a collaboration between brothers. It all started in Washington, D.C., with a single small burger joint with a cult following, and it has grown to a nationwide phenomenon. The key to success is the honesty and the quality behind the burgers. Rather than advertising gimmicks and special sauces, they serve up hand-formed, fresh-ground beef patties and fresh-cut fries cooked in only pure peanut oil. The patties are grilled then placed on freshly-baked buns where they boast of 250,000 possible ways to customise the burger. Five Guys burgers are not complicated, and they don't need to be. No freezers, no preservatives, no secret sauces. They serve food that is simply delicious — Five Guys style.
