It's definitely true in NC that rural areas are much better for barbecue. The top BBQ counties in NC are Davidson, Pitt, Rowan, Wayne, and Forsyth and only Forsyth has a city of any size in it.
I am a pork BBQ connoisseur and, though it grieves me, I must agree with the Tarhole above.
Particularly towards the coast where vinegar and tomato have been combined to form the base. Wish I could remember the one about 15 miles outside of Chapel Hill, headed back to Charlotte. Best I have ever had.

The vinegar/ketchup sauce is common in Lexington and other western Piedmont towns. In the east, it's vinegar with no ketchup. They also typically cook whole hogs in the east, while Lexington style is just shoulders. The place you went was probably Hursey's though it could've been Allen and Son which is closer to Chapel Hill. Allen is more eastern style, though they only use shoulders and Hursey's is a hybrid of the two styles. Both places are in the top tier of NC BBQ joints, along with the aforementioned Grady's.

Probably Allen & Sons?
As a pork BBQ connoisseur myself, I have been known to smuggle a bottle of hot mustard sauce back to NC..it gets a bad rap but I don't mind It for a change of pace. I'm a vinegar guy usually.
