About this stop
Carolina Bar-B-Q on Salisbury Road is the DOT-signed stop at I-77 Exit 49B, where Gene and Linda Medlin’s crew has served classic North Carolina barbecue to travelers and locals for decades.
Expect a full family-menu pace: chopped pork and ribs beside fried chicken, salads, and cobbler, not a counter-only pit with a five-item board.
