6 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Highlands

“My sister and I stayed at one of the spa suites . They are awesome . This was for my 70th birthday and it was such a memorable experience. The room was spacious and had a balcony. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. I highly recommend this inn for a great time.“

“Had occasion to dine here while driving through the area. I have to admit that my taste of BBQ tends to be more Georgia and Texas. But I have to admit, this had a great taste to it, the brisket was smoked very well and had a great flavor. the chicken was better than the brisket. The only let down was that both were a tad bit dry so I put a small amount of sauce on a couple of pieces. The sauces are a let down compared to the flavor of the meat alone, so I choose to stay with the meat and drink more Sweet Tea. Sides were Tater tots which were actually cooked correctly, nice and crisp, not soggy or over done. The coleslaw was fine, nothing bad or great. Overall it was a great meal. The meats were GREAT!“

“Best smash burger around, staff is friendly and jovial, atmosphere is great for lunch, early or late dinner. From 4:30-6 the parking lot and store are crazy packed from all the workers stopping so it's chaotic but otherwise a great spot!Dietary restrictions: They always cater to my dietary issues!“

“As a SC bbq girl I rarely enjoy any NC BBQ places. We rented a cabin about 2 miles from Blue Hound this weekend and decided to do take out for dinner. So glad we did. The pulled pork was amazing and I loved being able to try several of their 15 plus sauces. The collards and cream corn was some of the best I have ever had. Ordering online and picking up was so easy and the service was great! Highly recommend and can't wait to visit again.“

“Sandwich shop in a farmers market with outside picnick tables. Food of exceptional quality. Top few Cuban sandwiches I've had and I've tried at least 50 different versions. Best was at an authentic Cuban place in Florida but this one was right up there.“

“This is a great BBQ Restaurant with excellent service and selection. Although the prices were a bit high, we were not disappointed with the portion sizes or the great service. They do a great job of taking your order as you come in, before you seat yourself, so the process is quick and efficient. The food came out quickly and was perfectly presented. The brisket, fried okra, potato salad looked spot-on and delicious. We also ordered fried pickles as an appetizer and were delighted by the portion size (though they had a bit too much breading and were sliced a bit too thin to allow for the flavor or the pickle to be enjoyed over the fried breading).The brisket had was a good portion, and had a bit of fat to provide a good amount of moisture, but parts were a bit dry. The fried okra was very good with a mustard dipping sauce. The potato salad was quite good as well.“
