Ladies and gentlemen, I kid you not. I have travelled from the mountains of Appalachia to the shores of the Atlantic in search of the best barbecue this side of the Mississippi. I always root for the little mom and pop places that depend on referrals for their living and utilize recipes handed down from generations of bbq'ers but today I am here to sing the praises of.. I hesitate to say.. a chain restaurant.
Twice now I have visited this chain in two different locations to assure that is not just a fluke and I am happy to report that I have not been disappointed!
The creamy slaw is heavenly even though it is thick cut Carolina slaw, the bbq brisket beans are sweet as molasses and are choc full of brisket.
The sausage is pleasant but not too spicy, the brisket is lean and tender and for the first time tonight I tried the pulled chicken and was very pleasantly surprised. The turkey is incredible and quite possibly the best you'll have this side of thanksgiving dinner. There are more sauces to mop up these sinuous delicacies than you can shake a proverbial stick at.
The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can't stress how important it is nowadays to walk into a joint and feel welcomed. The wait time for our food was nearly nonexistent which is a definite plus if you find yourself visiting for a short lunch break.
If you find yourself in the vicinity, do yourself a solid and stop by. They definitely will not disappoint!
