So long, Big Belly Que!
Hello, BOMBOLO!
Same owners, different menu, different location.

BIG BELLY QUE has CLOSED at the Blue Dogwood Market.
We are now ready to reveal to the world of Facebook that the beautiful building currently under construction at 104 N. Graham St will open this late spring as BOMBOLO.

BOMBOLO will be distinguished by impressive sandwiches on fresh bread at lunch, and an array of exquisite fresh egg pasta dishes, tasty small plates, and a few delicious mains at dinner. Excellent sweets and good wines, too. All the things we like. No particular cuisine. Garret and I have both felt a wee bit confined by the parameters of bbq, and look forward to flexing our culinary muscles and creativity in a new setting.
We will open as soon as we can. Late spring is possible.

We've enjoyed preparing Chapel Hill's only wood smoked bbq for two and an half years. We look forward to offering a delightful addition to the Midway district dining in the near future. BBQ will return!
Be seeing you!

We were going to wait to change our service closer to the new spot opening but omicron and winter have expedited this process. As much as it pains us to hibernate our full time BBQ service, we have big plans on the horizon that will be coming to fruition in the next couple months. We’re still raising funds, designing, filing permits and handling the logistics of our new location at 104 N Graham st. But We still want to make delicious satisfying meals for the friends of during these turbulent times. It’s a smaller window to dine with us, and different menus, but we promise it will be worth it. Stay tuned for our new spot BOMBOLO in the coming weeks.
