I liked visiting this area when I was younger. Lake Murray was a place for me to relax and feed the ducks. It was quiet and peaceful, a reflection of this area.
Now there is a new bbq joint to try.
Smokey and the Brisket has a cool car theme going on.
Dino beef rib was the biggest beef rib I’ve eaten and the most expensive at $26. The rib made for a big lunch. Lovely aroma from being smoked in applewood and oak. Beef was tender and juicy while the dry rub added delicious flavor. I loved the mix of smoky and peppery flavor. One of the best tasting ribs I’ve had.
Smoked chicken wings had a delicious smoky flavor. Nice tender chicken.
Beef brisket was a big lunch for me. Tender, moist, full of delicious flavor from the bark formed over the thin layer of fat. Bark was from the peppery dry rub I had on the beef rib. Beef brisket is among the best I’ve found.
Rack of pork ribs was huge. Enough for 3 meals. Pork was fall off the bone tender and juicy. Love the flavor from smoking and the dry rub added a sweet component.
Customer service here was excellent. Employees were nice and when I had a problem with my order they made it right.
My only complaint is they keep sneaking a pickle and red stuff into my order. I’ve asked for no pickle and red stuff but it shows up with my meat. The dog is happy as I give him the meat that has that nasty pickle juice on it. I miss eating at restaurants so I can take care of problems right away.
