Allen and Son Barbeque is one of those places you hope never changes. From the peeling paint on the building's sign to the hickory smoke wafting from the rear of the building, this establishment is the epitome of what a barbeque restaurant should be.
  Only two miles north of Interstate 40, the restaurant is miles away from the culture of city life. No one talks on cell phones or dresses fancy. Men keep their caps on. Hunters stride into the place still dressed in their camouflage gear.
  But it is the barbeque that is truly special. It is cooked out back, hickory-smoked eastern-style barbeque with a vinegar tang, served the only way it should be, with hush puppies, cole slaw and some of the best tea in the county. If you truly want to experience a good North Carolina delicacy, order the first item on the menu, the Barbecue Plate for $8.95. You will not be disappointed.
  For those on a budget, order the BBQ sandwich for 5.35. It comes with hush puppies. You can just order water to save money, but getting a glass of tea with unlimited refills for a buck is a bargain.
  The establishment is located two miles north of Chapel Hill at the intersection of NC 86 and Millhouse Road. The phone number is 942-7576. No need to call ahead for reservations.
  Be advised of the hours. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday but open 10-8 the rest of the week.
   There is a sister store on 15-501 towards Pittsboro. The phone number there is 542-2294.
They do not have a website.
