Drove 45 minutes out of the way from our final destination to eat here & was not disappointed. In business for 76 years you just know it had to be great. Simple menu: whole hog or chicken & when it's done, it's done. Unfortunately, the chicken was done by the time we got there at 2pm but the chopped pork was fabulous. The baked beans were a chef's kiss.
Best bbq in the state!...I can eat this without sauce..just loaded with the yummy spice they use. A tray of pork with a cornbread slab on top with the potato salad like the church ladies would make, cubed up with that slight mustard twangy relish.
However, it takes a minute to get the goods tuff. People line up to the register, shuffling at a snails pace. The air of anticipation cocoons each as they take their turn at the hardwood counter.
We got there after the lunch. The tables were sticky, the bathrooms had paper flung everywhere. But after that first fork of chopped pig...I didn't mind so much...
This is a locals place where everyone knows everybody. We stuck out in the throng in a pale wrong clothes kind of way. We garden at the farmers market & get close to farming by watching a John Deere commercial.
So worth it though !!!
Worth the hype! Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Everyone working was so nice and gracious with me. Will definitely be back when in the area !
