BW's Smokin' Barrels Barbecue is a popular spot for barbecue lovers. The restaurant offers a variety of meats, including quarter racks and quarter chickens, served with delicious sides like mac & cheese, baked beans, and cornbread. The service is great, with attentive staff who can accommodate special requests. The menu is diverse, with options for pescatarians, including veggie burgers and Portobello Porker sandwiches that can be modified. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming, with a unique train display. The variety of sauces offered is a highlight, with a habanero option being a favorite among reviewers. The baked beans are a standout, with one reviewer calling them "epic."
The staff is wonderful, and the food is even better, with the turkey club and candied bacon being a standout. BW's has also received high praise for their catering services, with many compliments on the food quality and the catering team's great work in helping make events a success. Customers have enjoyed the 1/2 chicken, barbecue pulled pork, mac and cheese, potato salad, and chef salad, all of which were hot, juicy, and made for a great dining experience.
Recent reviews highlight the ribs as very good and falling off the bones, though some felt the smokey taste was not as strong as expected. The Carolina BBQ sauce was appreciated on the ribs. Many customers enjoyed the garlic green beans and broccoli salad. One reviewer called BW's the best ribs and BBQ chicken ever, mentioning their purchase of a bucket of rib tips for takeout, which served 4-6 people and was very affordable at only $55. The restaurant just opened and was busy, with only a 15-minute wait for a to-go order. Overall, BW's Smokin' Barrels Barbecue is seen as a solid BBQ joint with good food, friendly servers, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it worth the drive for those not in the Southtowns.
