Barbeque Restaurants near Afton

“Googled food nearby, saw the name and disregarded it as I'm not a fan of BBQ. Disappointed, I decided we'd just head toward home and grab some fast food on the way.

I didn't notice the place until it was in the rearview mirror. I smelled something amazing and turned the the car around. Saw the name and recognized it as the restaurant I'd earlier disregarded. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and baked beans and a slice of apple pie. My thought was "woah" when the bill was over $22. But when they handed me the bag I understood. I could have easily shared this with someone (I have half of it in the fridge for tomorrow). No shallow sections in this packaging. Beans and potato salad were plentiful and good, especially the baked beans. They make it nice and thick like I like it. The sandwich was good too!

But I'll tell you what, that dang apple pie is one of those foods you think about years after eating it. I have never, ever, had pie crust that I've finished. Just not a fan. But this crust was maybe better than the filling. Seriously! It was somehow sweet and soft but not mushy.

I look forward to visiting the area again and trying the ribs. But man - I will be lusting after that pie until then.

(At first I gave 'atmosphere' a 2 because it's a hole in the wall, if you will. But after I thought about it, I realized that's probably the charm and magic. It's a roadside gem. So I'm giving that damn parking lot I ate in a 5!)“

“Smoked Kitchen and Tap jumped in to help us out with catering for our wedding after we ran into an issue with our original caterer. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the BBQ tofu and the sauces! We seriously can't thank them enough for saving our wedding dinner!“

“Definitely recommend! This was the best food I've had in a long time! we had the Seafood sampler and smoked Chicken Wings as an appetizer. Two of us shared and it was plenty for both. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. 5 star for sure!“
