| - We saw this place on Diners Drive-ins & Dives, just like so many others, and decided to give it a try on our way to Asheville today.
And...I am soooo glad we did!
First...yes, the intercom system is dated, and hard to hear, oh well...I chalk that up to character. We didn't know what to order, so my lovey hubby went inside to ask what they recommended.
David asked him, "How many you got?" And proceeded to invite us inside to sit and eat...they only have 2 stools, and we felt happy to be invited. (He also said, "bring your missus inside, and we'll take care of you.)
The inside is just as dated as the intercom...but, we asked what to order and they recommended the BBQ chicken and BBQ pork plate.
Now, I must admit, we are from Augusta, and as true Augustians, we have one BBQ love...Sconyers...it is simply the best in the world, and we have been bred to eat it.
But, BBQ King does a real decent job of the pork!!! I was happy to share the plate with my lovey hubby, and we enjoyed it...the sauce was Texas Pete based...and very tasty.
I must give a mention to their cole slaw...they have a "secret" ingredient, which just happens to be MY secret ingredient also!!! Celery seeds... and they really make for a tasty slaw! (try it next time you make cole slaw...it is so good!)
I've saved the best for last...their BBQ dipped fried chicken. Now, I saw this on Guy Fieri's show...and didn't think it could be good at all...I thought, "Fried chicked, dipped in sauce??? It'll get all soggy...won't be good at all..."
Well, folks...I was WRONG. They fry it so crispy...then dip it at the last minute before serving...so you get this absolutely delicious, crispy, juicy, tender BBQ chicken. I will go on record as saying: BEST BBQ CHICKEN EVER...possibly the best fried chicken ever!!! It really is that good...it is incredible and original...and I can't believe that every where doesn't serve chicken like this.
Last, but not least...get the cherry sun-drop...yes, it is sun-drop, but with cherry syrup...I've never had it anywhere else. (I'm very sheltered, obviously!)
