Gerri Grady and her husband Steve have owned Grady’s Barbecue in Dudley, Wayne County since 1986. Together, the two have been serving some of the best barbecue near Goldsboro.

While chatting with me for NC Travel Chat #7, Mrs. Grady shared her and Steve’s journey from their opening to today.

She even gave a few shoutouts to some locally-owned businesses in Goldsboro. They include:

Terry’s Tasty Shoppe
Wilber’s BBQ
McCall’s Bar-B-Que & Seafood

If you consider yourself a person who likes North Carolina barbecue and have not visited Grady’s, do something about that and visit them while they’re open.

You can call ahead (for orders and hours) at (919) 735-7243.
