Our food

Sweet Carolina's meats are hickory smoked in a Southern Pride smoker for up to 16 hours at a time. After the smoking process is complete the meat is loaded directly into our warming cabinets and then onto your plate. Our signature dish is the barbecue pulled pork shoulder sandwich, smothered in a vinegar based barbecue dip and topped with our homemade coleslaw. It's the perfect mix of smokey, tangy and sweet flavors.

Our story

Sweet Carolina Barbecue was started by Spencer, a native North Carolinian, who had been making barbecue magic for over 20 years. After moving to New Jersey in 2013 and perfecting his meat smoking skills, he decided to find a way to feed the masses. After several years of trial and error, research, taste testing, and hard work, a food truck was born. Then a couple of years later the restaurant was opened in New Egypt, NJ. In the fall of 2019 Spencer had to make the tough decision to sell the business due to personal reasons. Luckily, his good friends, Sue and Frank, stepped up to the plate and purchased the business and are keeping his legacy alive. The restaurant was relocated to Toms River in 2023. The new location is larger with plenty of parking in the front & back of the building. We also have a food truck & a food trailer for hire. The food truck will make your special party stand out! We offer corporate and private catering.
