Discover Tarboro
Situated on the Tar River, Tarboro, NC, has a history as an important river port. The dining scene in Tarboro reflects the town's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean; fried fish and chips, raw oysters, and shrimp and grits are all readily available. You can also choose from a number of barbecue places that offer iconic eastern North Carolina chopped pork barbecue. Since you're in the eastern half of the state, it will be a vinegar-based pork that can be piled onto a sandwich or eaten as a part of a platter that includes collard greens and coleslaw. The town's diners and pubs offer a chance to enjoy a Carolina-style hot dog or burger topped with chili, slaw, and chopped onions.
