Join the Fast Casual Barbecue Revolution!Founded in 2003 as a competition barbecue team, Old Carolina has been on the winning track for more than 10 years. Using the regional barbecue circuit to amass a loyal fan base and over 125 awards to date, Old Carolina began opening corporate restaurants in 2006 and franchising in 2012. Guests enjoy the slow-smoked taste of competition-quality barbecue served in the fast casual format for lunch and dinner seven days a week. The key to Old Carolina's success is an uncompromising dedication to quality. All meats are cooked on-site with hickory wood in Southern Pride smokers. Twelve hours for pulled pork. Ten hours for brisket. Four and a half hours for ribs. Each item is hand pulled or sliced to order. Sauces are served on the side from a self-serve sauce bar that features five regional barbecue sauces. These sauces communicate the storied tradition of Carolina barbecue.
