Before you go
- Build any eastern loop around Saturday if Morris is the must-stop.
- Preorder ribs, skins, or bone trays on a weekday. They sell out fast.
- Pairs well with Ayden or Greenville stops on the same Saturday drive.
About this stop
Morris Barbeque has cooked whole hog for the Morris family since 1956 in Hookerton, with chopped pork seasoned in a classic eastern vinegar-pepper sauce. Slaw and hushpuppies still follow Frankie Dail Morris’s recipes.
The restaurant opens Saturday only. Takeout starts earlier than dine-in, and limited specials such as ribs or skin trays often need a weekday call-ahead.
