Our Story

Born From a Backyard Obsession

Grilling Buddies didn't start in a corporate kitchen. It started with two friends, a charcoal grill, and a stubborn belief that Pollocksville deserved food that actually made people stop and pay attention.

Every dish on our menu is built the way we like it — low and slow, with real wood, and zero interest in cutting corners. We source local, season what's fresh, and treat every plate like it's going out to a friend.
