11 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Candler

“Wow! This place has outstandingly delicious food. I tried it for the first today. The mac&cheese pie was very chessey with just a bit of golden brown crust, sinfully good. The collard greens were great,with just hint of tangy warmth. The pulled pork is by far some of the best I have ever tasted anywhere not just Asheville area. Good service. Friendly people.“

“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!“

“Absolutely one of the best brisket we ever have! I’m so glad we had the opportunity to visit this place. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, smoky, and full of flavor. You can tell they put real care and passion into their barbecue. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything tasted homemade and authentic. If you’re anywhere near Asheville, you have to try their brisket ! #AshevilleEats #BBQLovers #BrisketPerfection“

“Every time we’re in town this is our go to spot. Shredded selections and Brisket yum! Meats r In some sort of marinated vinegar process, don’t even use added sauces it’s perfect alone! Favorite spot to sit at is the bar area where Ian provides wonderful service! The mustard based potato salad side and hush puppies a great addition. Also don’t forget to end with the delicious homemade Banana pudding, you’re welcome! 😋 See you next season Ian!!!“

“We had a lovely visit here last evening while briefly in the area. They are doing alright after the terrible hurricane thankfully!!!!! Over the years this has been our favorite go to spot and yesterday was no different. Food very tasty, plentiful, feel is a positive price point. I personally can be a bit picky about barbecue, I really don’t care for excessive fat in my meat and I find the brisket is perfectly lean!! 2 employees who are new to us as we haven’t been back in two years, Ian and Sheryl were very pleasant, smiles on their faces, communicative, and remained diligent in providing great service. They have had some updates on their menu, not as many side choice selections but the ones we all chose were most appetizing! I do miss the pineapple casserole side and was told its available on the menu in the fall. Spouse also feels their beer selection is great. They were all out of the popular homemade banana and wafer pudding, but just gives us something to look forward to during our next visit as we will absolutely continue to eat here. Positive all around! Tasty, clean, and lovely folks all working inside thank you thank you!“

“Great BBQ! I highly recommend eating here!“

“BEST BBQ IN N.C!! Friendly people and great food can't ask for more i love this place and recommend it 100%❣️“

“We ordered lunch here while visiting Antler Hill Village. The food was prepared quickly, and we found a place nearby to sit and dine beneath one of the umbrellas. The sandwiches were good, not great, but we didn't expect a gourmet meal from a food truck. It is a decent place to eat if you're looking for something quick.“

“It’s great food but be warned to not leave your food on a table at any point. I had a fresh tray of food I was excited to eat ,I set it down on a table and walked over to the bar quickly to grab a beer when I turned around to go back to my babe the whole tray of fresh u touched food was gone. Thrown away. 20 bucks down the drain because an employee couldn’t wait a second to make sure the untouched food wasn’t from someone who might be in the bathroom or at the bar grabbing a drink.“

“casual restaurant with good food and great sense of humor.“

“If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I took my husband here for his birthday dinner last night, & we definitely felt like we had a culinary experience! The drinks we spectacular & affordable. We did the chef tasting for dinner, & the staff made it like telling a story through food. Our server Jesse G was so personable, animated, made great recommendations, & very attentive to us the entire meal. Okay, so just about the food. We are total foodies, especially on a vacation/for a special occasion like this. We loved unqiue, tasty foods, & occasionally enjoy a more fine dining experience. Our meal at Ukiah was that & more! It was served in 10 small plate courses. They spaced each dish, timed them perfectly, & each dish built on the last in such a way that was truly amazing. Just when we thought the last one was our favorite, the next one was as good or better. The vanilla, almond, coconut cake with house ice cream finisher almost wrecked me lol! I could have licked the plate clean, but I was honestly too full to commit that hard. Every staff member that brought us a dish, refilled our drinks, cleared our table, etc were so friendly. Jesse (funny enough, also my husband's name & same spelling) was one of the best waiter's we've had, but also the kind of person you just want to be friends with after you eat & go hang out at the bar or something. It is definitely a higher end restaurant, but for the experience & service, it is well worth the money! We hope to return some day for sure!“
