    Incredible gem. Easily one of the best bbq spots in WNC. Quality food and great rotating sides.

    This was our first time at this location. We have been to the Dillsboro previously and loved it so…read morewe thought we'd give this location a try and what a great choice that was!! It doesn't look big on the outside but inside it set up to hold tons of tables. They do over take out as well so you can call ahead and for pick up or come in and order to go. We were able to be seated immediately around 1 pm on Saturday. Our waitress came right over to give us the specials and see if we had ever been before or had any questions on the sauces. We placed our food order and it wasn't too long until the we had the best smells right in front of us! I had the special, brisket tacos and he had the brisket sandwich! Every bite was tender and delicious!! Portion sizes were good and prices were decent. If you love tender and delicious BBQ then absolutely stop here!! If not move along and the leave the goods for the rest of us!

    These folks are serious about their meat; walk in wearing a t-shirt from another BBQ joint (not a…read moresnob - just giving a shout out to Wilber's in Goldsboro) and the staff mocked me out the door. Where we were seated in a large tent outside and had some of the best 'cue I've had in western NC. Don't be dissuaded by the old house vibe. It's tight inside but if the weather is good, head outdoors. First, pulled pork (standard for me) was moist with plenty of bark and good smoke. Brisket is served with both fat/lean together and had great texture and flavor. Housemade sauces include lexington style dip, eastern NC vinegar and SC mustard. All were very good. Baked beans were excellent and collards with big brisket chunks were very good (could be cooked a bit longer). Staff is quick to joke, super fast on the service and lots of fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and I'll wear mu Haywood t-shirt down east to rep! Stop by their other location in Dillsboro; either is a solid choice for great barbecue.

    If you're looking for BBQ that feels like you're eating at someone's home, this is the spot…read more Everything tasted like it had been slow-cooked all day with real care, and it absolutely shows. We loved the three styles of ribs and the brisket--they were all incredible. The sides were just as good, especially the coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread. It's real, comforting food done right. Krista was wonderful--super friendly and made the whole experience even better. We finished with banana bread pudding and sweet tea, which were the perfect ending. Absolutely loved it. Definitely coming back!

    I hadn't been to Doc Brown's for two years. It's a little roadside place away from the strip…read moremalls, darned near walking distance from my house. I'm very glad I stopped by, it was a quiet mid-afternoon. Service was as quick as I've had, I was in and out with lunch in no more than five minutes. I tried a pulled pork plate with macaroni salad, potato salad and cornbread, and two spare ribs. The cornbread was moist and very tasty with a hint of sweetness. The pulled pork was slightly dry and needed salt, but once salted and dosed with their house-made bbq sauce it made for a great lunch. The potato salad was great, very creamy with a little crunch and tang from red onion. The macaroni salad was OK, a bit bland. The ribs were the high point of the meal. Very large, meaty, juicy, tender. They did need just a touch of salt. All-in-all a very satisfying lunch. It won't be another two years before I'm back.

    Let me first say I was worried about this place due to location being in a shopping strip. But, I…read moreshould know better than to judge on looks. We were so impressed with food quality, cleanliness, and excellent service. Megan was our server, she was wonderful made great recommendations, friendly, staggered our food perfectly, and never let our cups go dry. Cornbread was hot, moist, and so yummy. Onion straw with a bbq ranch sauce was perfect! We got the pork chops, so tender you could cut with fork, it needed nothing, along with mashed potatoes! The food was 5 star quality! This will be our new favorite local spot when in the area!

    Back again this year, just when it's a bit colder and SNOWING!! Yea, November 11th and we are…read moregetting snow -- and the Blue Rooster was the perfect, cozy, warm place to have an early dinner! Brandon was an excellent server, very attentive and friendly. All the food, like last time, was paced perfectly. Our apps and salad were not overlapped by my our entrees! And the rolls, c'mon! They're hot and delicious! We shared the onion strings app, tasted perfect and loved the dipping sauce. We also got side salads with ranch -- wow, you can tell it's made there, and just the right amount of dill in it! For entrees, wife and I shared the 14oz ribeye -- WOW, is it good -- with a side of broccoli. Good amount of marbling, perfect temp (medium), and juicy. MIL had the fried chicken, which was probably a 3 out of 5 for her. Only two of the four pieces were juicy, and to me it looked a little over cooked. We had no room for dessert, and the snow started coming down heavy, so we left after filling up. Make sure you don't assume anything with this place being in a strip mall -- it is sooooo good! See you again next year!
