LEGIT SMOKEHOUSE !!!…read more About as mountainesque of a restaurant as you are going to find in the Smoky Mountains. Big gravel parking lot (do not spin out your tires). Two ways to enter - straight up stairs or multi level stairs, each depending on your knee strength - optional wheel chair accessible entrance at the front with a single handicap parking space. Upon entry, the scent of bbq smacked me right in the face. Greeted by two staff members and the bbq pit master. Not expecting a craft beer bar inside but it had a big brew selection on tap with cocktails and wine too. Ordered three full slab of bbq ribs with cole slaw and shoe string onions for $34.00, thought it was pricey until I saw the plate coming toward me by the server with two half slabs (see pic). The sheer girth and weight of the ribs were worthy of the price point. Bit into the first half slab and at the same time got a whiff of the sticky charred meat. Holy S*** it was fall off the bone moist with a nice smoky sauce, which brought an immeditate tear of joy to my left eye. I put some sweet sauce on my slab and onto my onions for added bliss. I have to commend them for the flavorful coleslaw with a light tang of vinegar. Lately, I have been getting bland coleslaw at restaurants but took a leap of faith here and was rewarded handsomely. The gender neutral ADA compliant bathroom was clean with a rustic theme. Dark wood walls with an oval mirror hovering above the wall mounted modern sink. Little gift shop at the entry door slinging Highlands Smokehouse items. Wonderful experience here and would recommend it highly to anyone that loves bbq in North Carolina.

We recently visited Haywood Smokehouse and ordered two full racks of dry-rub ribs with mac and…read morecheese, fries, and coleslaw. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The ribs were well-cooked, the portions were generous, and the service was great. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food arrived promptly. The mac and cheese, fries, and coleslaw were all enjoyable and complemented the meal well. That said, we're giving it 3 out of 5 stars. While the food was good, we felt the selection of sides was somewhat limited compared to other barbecue restaurants. Our biggest disappointment was the barbecue sauce. The sauces were very thin, and because of that, they didn't really cling to the ribs. We personally prefer a thicker, richer sauce that stays on the meat and adds more flavor with each bite. Despite those points, we still had a pleasant experience and can see why many people enjoy this spot. Good food, good service, and a solid barbecue stop if you're in the area.

I liked the ketchup based brown sauce, I believe it's the normal BBQ sauce. Fries were delicious and crunchy on the outside! A little bit like Checker's fries. Coleslaw was okay, but mashed potatoes were good according to my colleague. Good and fast service, nice ambiance and quality brisket with good portion! Recommended!

Four of us came on a sunny day for lunch hoping to find some good quality southern cooking. We really enjoyed our appetizers, which included the plump Fried Soft Shell Crabs, Spring Salad (w/ fresh SC strawberries), and Fried Mushrooms. The entrees were somewhat less satisfactory. Nothing really bad in any way, but did not compared to their initial offerings. The full rack of Smoked Ribs were a little dry, while the Shrimp & Grits needed more flavor. All in all, a pretty good meal and I would certainly come back when back in Landrum again. Hopefully I get to try some of the unique dishes that they offer, but weren't available that day.

The highlight were the Sauces, which were great, and there were a bunch of options The pecan pie was terrible unfortunately. Recommend just skipping desert, especially since the food portions are large. Clientele were mainly elderly, so even though we arrived early we had to wait.
