BULLOCK’S BBQ The longest running restaurant in Durham, Bullocks BBQ has been serving up homemade, Southern-style cooking for 66 years. Its story goes back to the early 1940s, when Tommy Bullock’s dad cooked his first pig, flavored it with his vinegar sauce and sold it door-to-door. After dabbling in the wholesale business, Tommy’s parents opened their own restaurant on August 1, 1952. Eighteen years later, they relocated Bullock’s to where it stands now. In addition to their restaurant service, Bullock’s caters and ships to customers across the country—a show of appreciation for those who enjoy their barbecue. For 47 years, the restaurant has provided catering to the staff of locally televised sports at networks like ESPN, Raycom Sports, CBS and NBC Sports. Bullock’s has also served notable figures like Jimmy Buffet, former Vice President Joe Biden and six Academy Award winners—Richard Dreyfuss, Faye Dunaway, Colin Firth, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Holly Hunter and Robin Williams. Bullock’s is thankful for their committed staff who have helped serve customers with the same care and devotion with which Tommy’s parents established the eatery. With four generations of dedication poured into the restaurant—Tommy’s parents; he and his wife; his three children and their spouses; and his grandchildren—the Bullock family is grateful for its loyal customers who have dined in and ordered from the family restaurant for the past seven decades. They hope to continue the legacy of gratitude toward the Durham community for years to come.”
