Drove 45 minutes out of the way from our final destination to eat here & was not disappointed. In business for 76 years you just know it had to be great. Simple menu: whole hog or chicken & when it's done, it's done. Unfortunately, the chicken was done by the time we got there at 2pm but the choppe
Best bbq in the state!...I can eat this without sauce..just loaded with the yummy spice they use. A tray of pork with a cornbread slab on top with the potato salad like the church ladies would make, cubed up with that slight mustard twangy relish.
However, it takes a minute to get the goods tuff. P
Worth the hype! Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Everyone working was so nice and gracious with me. Will definitely be back when in the area !
Ordered take out: BBQ, slaw, baked beans, pineapple cake and cornbread. Took it home to eat. Everything was delicious..I like my cornbread lighter, this one was more dense..
I wanted to try the the chicken & banana pudding, but they ran out. They said come before 1pm to be able to get any menu it
Very friendly staff, if it's possible even friendly people in the dining room.
Bbq chicken and chopped whole hog. Side of beans and slaw, both sweet and unsweet tea (cut the sweet tea with the unsweet). Wife and daughter had a slice of cake for dessert. All incredible.
Best que. Whole hog and wood cooked. Pone excellent. Slaw on point. Nanna pudding could have more Nana's. Wish lived closer.
First timer! Excellent whole hog BBQ, & their sauce was the perfect complement. I also loved the sauce on the chicken. Really enjoyed their cornbread as well. No fuss, just great food. I will definitely be back!
I came to Eastern, NC to eat great BBQ and of the 5 places I ate, this was the top one by far. The pork was perfectly cooked and was still juicy and flavorful. Their sauce is top notch and I left with a major smile on my face.
The baked beans were also incredible.
It is highly recommended.
The pulled pork combined with crispy pork rinds, which gave a different texture.
Limited options, only pulled pork or chicken could be chosen.
The coleslaw had pure sweet taste.
The corn bread was much firmer than other styles.
Loved it! Pork was moist, a lite smoked flavor was perfect, and the chewy bits of pork skin were fantastic. The bread was completely different from anything I've ever had. It's my favorite North Carolina BBQ so far.
BBQ was pretty good. It did have a great smokey flavor. Don't let the long lines scare you. They move very quickly!
like the sign said established in 1947! Great whole hog barbeque.
Learned about this place thanks to Vivian , Farmer and The Chef show .Really good pork Barbecue 😋 Bun was soft and fresh. Corn bread was warm and tasty. There was a non-stop line of people.
Classic whole hog Eastern NC BBQ. The pork was juicy, tender, flavorful and full of crispy skin rinds throughout. I loved the dense cornbread and simple yet delicious coleslaw. Service was also great. My only complaint is the lack of sides. I would’ve really enjoyed some Mac and cheese with the meal

It's been maybe 20 years since I had been to Skylight until the date above. Has a dine-in side to the restaurant itself, and this is a counter order setup. Clean and well maintained dining area.
Skylight Inn is an institution. It has national and state-wide recognition. The stuff on the w
A classic institution in our part of North Carolina. Simple and good!
I saw Skylight on Vivian Howard's show and had to try it out. We drove 3 1/2 hours and the experience did NOT disappoint. The staff were all young and very, very polite. Lots of manners and smiles. This, to me, speaks of great parents and excellent management. I teach teenagers, and was thoroughly
If you’re looking for whole hog bbq perfection, look no further. This is a no-frills NC institution. The whole hog bbq has a great taste and has great crispy bits of skin cut in. The prices are fair, the portions are generous, and the food is great.
