Amazing pork tenderloin and pineapple skewers! The onion rings and hushpuppies were great too!
Found this great BBQ restaurant while headed home from Gatlinburg. All our food was delicious. We even took blackberry cobbler home with us plus their freshly cooked pork rinds. Already planning a trip back to try other great sounding foods! 👍
