| - I love this place. There is much heated debate about the best bbq out there and I know everyone has their own preference...but to me, Bill Spoon's is one of the best. I clean my plate every time I go there. The slaw, hushpuppies, sweet tea and bbq are ALL excellent. Another thing I like about this place is that the first time I went I had a debit card. THEY ONLY TAKE CASH & checks ! Remember that. But even if you forget, they'll tell you just to pay it next time. I know I looked like I'd seen a green monkey land on his head when he said that. "He" being Bill Spoon's grandson-possibly the nicest individual you'll ever meet. Everyone there is a sweetheart.
Now, let's talk about atmosphere. This place ain't swank. Far from it. It's kind of a hole-in-the-wall joint with checkered tablecloths and old decor. Personally, I kinda like it-it goes with my world view of what an authentic, family owned, bbq place should look like. My husband, on the other hand, thinks it feels like an old folks home. He does, however, love the food.
The place has been around forever (since 1963 I think), so I think that says something too.
