"More Than a Good Butt" T-Shirt

Show your pride for Skylight Inn with this branded t-shirt!

If you know good Carolina-style BBQ, you know the Skylight Inn. The Jones family has been cooking real whole-hog BBQ in North Carolina since the 1830s, and back in 1947 17 year-old Pete Jones opened a small restaurant on his family’s property in the small town of Ayden, North Carolina, just outside of Greenville. Since then, Skylight Inn has become widely renowned as the gold standard for Eastern North Carolina-style whole-hog barbecue. Pete passed away in 2006, but Pete’s son Bruce, nephew Jeff, and grandson Sam Jones continue to run the restaurant and honor his legacy. Skylight Inn has been hailed by everyone from National Geographic to GQ Magazine as having some of the best barbecue in America, and in 2003 it was crowned an “American Classic” by the James Beard Foundation.
