Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque has been more than 4 decades in the making. Our family restaurant was founded to share the classic taste of North Carolina BBQ with the people of Northern Virginia.
A long time ago, a little boy in Camden County, North Carolina watched his daddy win a restaurant in a poker game. That little boy was Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque's founder, Danny Hurdle. The Hurdle family transformed the eatery into Hurdle’s Restaurant, and spent their days eating, cooking, and serving barbeque to locals. Danny loved every minute so right then and there, he decided to devote his life to perfecting the craft.
Danny Hurdle took it upon himself to expand the North Carolinian traditional pork, beef, and chicken barbeque into a place unfamiliar with the food: the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) area. Before Carolina Brothers, the mere idea of tender, hickory-smoked meat coated in a tantalizing, slightly-spicy sauce was unthinkable in northern Virginia. Thanks to Danny and his carefully crafted recipes, the smell of smoking meat in a traditional NC pit barbeque points to one place: Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque.
