If you were planning to scan this guide just to find the word “barbecue,” we made it easy for you by putting Clyde Cooper’s first. When you want Carolina-style, vinegar-based pork barbecue, this Raleigh spot is where you should get it. It’s one of the oldest barbecue spots in the state (it opened in 1938) and both the slow-roasted pork shoulder and baby-back ribs can rival any other barbecue in the Triangle. They also make fried chicken and brisket, along with all the usual sides.
