Everything was amazing. Keith ordered the pork ribs and the they were just as amazing. I love that you can add homemade pickles, jalapeños and chow chow from their " side bar." You can tell that they are home made- I could have eaten a whole dish of the picketed jalapeños! Small, unassuming spot with some amazing BBQ!

Our very first visit to The Blue Hound was absolutely INCREDIBLE! My father had mentioned this…read moreplace as a fun place to visit, so my DH and I decided to make the drive to Dillard and check it out. We are so glad we did! From the minute you walk in the doors, you can see this is a well run establishment. Spacious and clean, very inviting. We were greeted by Emily, who was just so wonderful - kind, engaging and informative - who took our order. Between the two of us, we were able to try several of the offerings. We ended up with a "2 Meat, 2 Side": Turkey & Pulled Pork with Sweet Potato Crunch and Collard Greens. My DH ordered the Beef Brisket with a Sausage (Cajun). His sides were the Pimento Cheese Grits and the Appalachian Beans. We also ordered the Pork Belly Bites, Buffalo coating with a side of Ranch. To top it all off, we each ordered a dessert to share and we went with the Banana Pudding and the Peach Cobbler. To break it down, everything was flavorful, fresh and delicious! We both agreed that everything was fabulous - truly enjoyable and we'd order it all again. Our favorites were the Beef Brisket, the Pork Belly Bites, the Collards, the Sweet Potato Crunch, the pimento Cheese Grits and the Cornbread with Honey Butter. As a matter of fact, we enjoyed the Cornbread so much that we ordered some to go home with us! Margaret is who helped us with this order, and she was as friendly and knowledgeable as Emily. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meal so much and found the service to be so exceptional that there is NO DOUBT that we will be back... Maybe Tomorrow!!!

The meals are large and shareable. The brisket was juicy and flavorful. My favorite part was dessert, the peach cobbler and banana pudding were homemade and so satisfying.

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.

A lot of food, and I was really full. The Brisket was only okay. A little dry, even though I had requested the point (fatty part). Probably would not get this again. Ribs were decent, although they didn't have very smoky flavor. Almost as if it were cooked on a pellet grill. 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. And when we left, the place was almost empty.

If you're up for a ride and craving BBQ, TB&J BBQ up in Clarksville, near Lake Burton off 197, is…read morethe place to go. This spot's a little out of the way but so worth it, especially if you love riding the roads around here. They're closed for the season after Oct. 27th but will be back around Easter, so it's one to keep in mind for next year. They've got it all: ribs, brisket, chicken, nachos, beans, slaw, and a super cheesy mac & cheese that hits the spot. Tyler and Jess, the owners, are welcoming and excited to serve up great food. There's not a lot of room to order, but grab an outdoor table and kick back while your food's on the way. You might even meet the local dog (we're calling her Bella) who loves a good belly rub and is around most of the time. Whether you're on your bike or driving through, TB&J BBQ is a top choice for great BBQ in the area.

Otherwise park further behind or across street & short walk over. It's an old converted gas station on the corner. Majority of seating is outside. There's some inside seating & a bar inside. Old gas station style bathrooms outside & around the corner. There's a stage for events. Appears to be pet friendly. Nice view of Main Street with shops, desserts & boutiques. You can watch both people & vehicle traffic. Service is quick, quiet & friendly. Lots of specialty drinks to choose from. Food is really good. The Smokehouse Burger is prepared to order with bacon, fried onion rings, melted cheese, tender, juicy, delicious. When you're done, walk up one side & down the other to walk that food off & get yourself ready for dessert. Enjoy!

The establish was not busy. The tables were sticky and had visible signs of glass rings. For not being busy, it took a considerable amount of time for the food to come out. While my food was very good, the wife had fries that were cold. We were served food without any utensils or napkins. It took 8 minutes for utensils to arrive and one napkin each. We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries.

We got the pulled pork sandwiches with baked beans sides first. Those baked beans have some secret ingredient I can't put my finger on, but my tastebuds were very happy. Portions were generous. Our second trip, we both got the pulled pork and smoked chicken tacos. Ingredients were super fresh and yummy. The salsa was so tasty! But so is the bbq sauce, so I tried it both ways. I preferred the bbq sauce on my tacos. Nice to have options. Now if they have their banana pudding, you won't be sorry you tried it! Honestly, I thought, "banana pudding? Meh".
