| - Since moving to the area, Lagerheads is probably the restaurant my family and I have visited most frequently. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it's worth the trip for the smoky barbecue! Be careful about your timing...it gets really busy on Friday and Saturday nights and the wait is sometimes up to an hour.
If it's your first trip to Lagerheads, I'd say you can't go wrong with the fresh pork rinds, the smoked chicken wings, or the White Water Witte. These pork rinds aren't like the dusty curls you find at the store for a buck a bag...the huge plate of them arrives at your table piping hot and still crackling. The wings are full-sized, smoky, and tender. I just think the citrusy Begian Witte is a great complement to barbecue in general.
Some of the entrees I've tried include one of the pulled pork sandwiches (huge), the IPA chicken (only slightly on the dry side but with great flavor), and the ribs. The ribs are tasty, but I think I actually liked them better the second day as leftovers! They also have a variety of sides, ranging from collard greens to hush puppies with all the standard options in between. The menu is pretty extensive, so I still haven't tried all of the things that have caught my eye.
Oh, and they usually have a cornbread sundae for dessert. I was so curious about it for my first few visits but had never saved enough room! I finally tried it the last time I went...it's crumbled cornbread drizzled with honey and raspberry sauce and topped with pecans and ice cream. If those flavors sound like they're up your alley, give it a try!
Service here has been hit or miss for me, but it seems like it gets better every time I go. At first the servers were inattentive or really unaware of the items they had run out of, like the time my server came back to the table three times to tell me that they didn't have the beer or cocktail I had ordered. That said, on our last visit we had Emma as our server and she was delightful!
