Before you go

  • Breakfast runs Tuesday through Saturday before the lunch-and-dinner board takes over.
  • Ask for coarse chopped if you want the wood-fired shoulder cut the house highlights.
  • Prissy Polly’s is a short drive north on Highway 66 for an Eastern-and-Lexington comparison.

About this stop

Clark’s brought Davidson County pit habits to Kernersville in 1993: pork shoulders cooked over wood, then served chopped, coarse-chopped, or pulled with the tomato-kissed dip of the Piedmont.

The room is unusual among traditional barbecue stops for how many vegetables ride beside the pork, which makes it an easy full plate when you want more than meat and slaw.
