Abstract:
Started eighteen years ago by the late Bill McLawhorn and his wife Peggy, B's Barbecue is now run by their daughters. The place has no telephones and no take-out menus. B's operates on a frantic pace with servers passing out barbecue and chicken dinners to hungry customers until the place closes around 2 PM or when the barbecue runs out. Customers can either eat inside or outside at red-painted picnic tables.
