The BBQ Lab to open this week in North Hills
The BBQ Lab will officially open its doors in the North Hills shopping district on Wednesday, owners have announced.
Posted — Updated
The restaurant, located in the commons area near the movie theater, is the first franchise concept from award-winning barbecue restaurant Redneck BBQ Lab.
Due to severe staffing issues, the restaurant's hours will be Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until the food runs out.
Once the restaurant has adequate staffing, it will be open seven days a week with regular hours and an after-hours menu that includes regional cuisine and shareable plates. There will also be beer and alcohol for sale.
Note that the restaurant's famous burnt ends will be available on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at the North Hills location.
Redneck BBQ Lab's flagship location is in Johnston County.
Stephenson has said the franchise model was named The BBQ Lab to prevent franchise owners from having to deal with criticism and questions about the use of the word "redneck" in the title.
While he said that decision was made several years ago when they started talking about franchising. The restaurant's name was something that came up recently when they announced they would not be moving into an upcoming Johnston County food hall.
