| - This is such a great place! The bbq is legit with all of the meats being smoked perfectly, and the sauces that accompany them being very flavorful. You will find the smoked meats in many of the dishes that are offered and you won't be disappointed with any of them. My wife and I love the buffalo chicken dip (best we have ever had) because the smoked chicken that is used in it brings a great new element to an already tasty dip. We have also had the pulled pork and cheese dip and it too is excellent. As far as the entrees go, we have tried the regular pizza, the pulled chicken sandwich, the pulled pork sandwich, the cubano tacos, and the bacon and cheese burger. Everything was absolutely delicious. The pizza had a great crust to it and also has a tasty sauce. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches are packed with meat and feature a spicier bbq sauce that is delicious. I normally prefer a smoky bbq sauce with pulled pork but this sauce is so good that I crave it. The cubano tacos feature the pulled pork (no bbq sauce) and is accompanied by Swiss cheese, red cabbage, and ham. A Cuban sandwich is my favorite type of sandwich and these tacos nail the flavor. I have mentioned in previous reviews that I am huge into bbq and smoke my own meats and make my own sauces and rubs, and I have to tell you that whoever is manning the smoker at barrel junction knows what they are doing. The pork in these tacos shows this, as the smoke flavor is perfect and really makes this dish. Now onto the burger......this is the absolute BEST burger I have had and all burgers are also all 1/2 pound. The first thing I noticed is that it was cooked to a perfect medium as I had requested. I know that should be a given, but you would be surprised at how many places either under or over cook there burgers. I could tell that the burger wasn't pressed on the grill at all either because it was incredibly juicy. The burger was also seasoned perfectly. Bottom line....if this burger didn't have any condiments or toppings it would still be delicious. It can absolutely stand on its own. Great job Barrel Junction.
