Coronavirus Precautions

Under his most recent executive order, Governor Roy Cooper has lifted all capacity limits, social distancing requirements and most mask mandates for the entire state. However, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services recommends that people still wear a mask if they are in a large crowd or not vaccinated.

If traveling, individuals are encouraged to check with local tourism organizations to determine if any limitations are still in place (e.g., visitor center closures), and to contact lodging establishments directly for their most up-to-date information.

More information about local restaurant resources specific to North Carolina destinations can be found via their local tourism organization, which can be found here. Visit Count On Me NC to see a list of businesses – restaurants, lodging, attractions and others – that have completed the Count On Me NC training, as these businesses are making a concerted effort to help keep everyone safe and healthy. As a guest, you can take your own pledge, too, to show you're doing your part.

If a hog isn’t pit-cooked, it isn’t barbecue. That’s how Stephenson’s Bar-B-Q still operates today in the pit behind the modest building on NC Hwy 50 just south of Garner.

Stephenson’s Bar-B-Q, a family owned restaurant in operation since 1958, is listed on the North Carolina Barbecue Society’s Historic Barbecue Trail map. The pork Bar-B-Q is pit cooked and hand chopped daily, just as it has been over the past sixty years. From the daily lunch specials to the tender Bar-B-Q chicken there is something for everyone.
