Living in Texas, I’ve come across some pretty epic BBQ joints. The smoke and aromas wafting off the grill make you appreciate living in the South - we sure do know our flavors! If you live anywhere near the Raleigh area, then you’ve probably heard of Prime BBQ - and if you haven’t been there yet - you’ll thank me later for the opportunity to taste a bit of Texas Brisket.
I grew up with brothers who love all kinds of meat fresh off the grill. Prime BBQ in Knightdale knows their meats and they make it fresh. In fact, they don’t even have a specified closing time - just whenever the meat runs out is when they close up shop for the day so I recommend getting there early! Their hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11:00 AM to Sell Out.
This BBQ joint is fast becoming the most popular in the area led by Christopher Prieto, a champion pit master who now travels the country teaching others the science of slow-cooked meat.
Be sure to try their Frito Pie. It’s made with Fritos, brisket chili (no beans, the way chili is meant to be served in the South), jack cheese, white onion, pickled jalapenos, pickled onion, housemade sour cream sauce, and their house BBQ sauce. And their daily specials make it so you can return for something new each time you go. Are you hungry yet?
You can’t leave without dessert. You can try my fave, the Texas Cobbler, or if you’re wanting something a little lighter you can go with the fresh made mini pies or the banana pudding.
With delectable flavors and a trendy atmosphere, you can’t go wrong with some good old-fashioned, wood smoked, BBQ for dinner. Take your taste buds on a special date to Prime BBQ in Knightdale and show that joint a Little Local Love!
