Locale BBQ Post did an outstanding job catering for my Dad’s birthday party this past weekend. Everyone LOVED the food, and there was plenty left over, despite us refilling the containers repeatedly. All of the meats (brisket, pulled pork, and chicken) and sauces were fantastic (extra compliments were given for “The Sauce” and the bbq sauce) and the yams and baked beans were delicious. We also enjoyed the potato salad and pickles. I really appreciate the communication also, even when I increased the amount of food being ordered within the week of the party.
LACK OF FLAVOR! I had the brisket and chicken and both were super dry, even the sauce couldn't save it. I don't understand how brisket or chicken stay dry if they've been drowned in sauce. The collard greens tasted like they'd been cooked in a vinegar based barbecue sauce and even that didn't help provide flavor. Everything just seemed dreadfully under-seasoned and the meat had a pull to it when chewed...almost as if it'd been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. Won't be coming back here for BBQ.
The beef brisket sandwich with the "hot" sauce was great. Pulled pork is another good sandwich here. I used to be disappointed in the mac & cheese but the last 2 times it has been much better. Also, got their brisket breakfast sandwich one morning and like that. This place has been steadily improving in my opinion. Each visit the food improves.
The Locale BBQ is a great place to go get some good BBQ Food and The people are very friendly and place is very clean and it's is easy to get to get great food. Everything I tried is good and I recommend everybody to go there. ???????????????
My first choice for a great brisket sandwich on a perfectly toast bun at lunch time! Super friendly staff and a welcoming little spot in Trolley Square... ?
Ordered the beef chili to complement the brisket sandwich - went all carnivore during this lunch. Both were top notch; while I do not visit Wilmington often, this will definitely be a recurring stop on the visits I do make. Also, the neighborhood of Locale has character.
They don’t miss. Brisket sandwich Mac n cheese and collards amazing!
Breakfast bbq here is ?
Nope!! First red flag was that there is no smell of smoke anywhere near the place! I ordered the brisket which was terrible. No smoke flavor at all! It was shredded, overcooked and severely lacking flavor! I was expecting nice juicy, fatty pieces of meat and got the complete opposite! Their meat must sit in warmers all day. I also ordered chicken. It was also "chopped," overcooked and severely lacking smoke or any other flavor. Definitely not barbque by a long shot. But the person inside was extremely courteous! Can't take that away from him.
I just called to put in an order for ribs..person who answers says they don't have any.call 2 days ahead and we will order some? like wth? place is so hit or miss.
