Hillsborough BBQ Company has been a sensation since it opened just three years ago. This gathering place offers hardwood-smoked North Carolina BBQ, along with traditional fixin’s from mac and cheese to collard greens. It also serves specialties from outside our state’s boundaries, including brisket, ribs and chicken (not to mention drinks from a fully-stocked bar). And it’s all housed in a beautiful wood-paneled storefront, with casual picnic tables outside.
