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.

We both had beans on the side which had nice chunks of pork in there. Very tasty. It wasn't really crowded so we got in and out quickly. The decor of the place is upscale bbq, very comfy and clean.

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.

If you're on the fence because of the location, don't be, it deserves every bit of the five stars.

This is an interesting little restaurant, created from an old gas station. The personal were…read morefriendly and informative about the wines that are produced at their own winery. We were not real hungry so ordered from the appetizer menu. Tomato bisque, smoked trout dip with crackers, Roasted beet salad and a glass of sangria. The tomato basil bisque was absolute "must try" good. The smoked trout was much to salty, maybe just my taste buds. The roasted beet salad was also good with fresh greens and an interesting assortment of almonds. But the beets were not roasted. Fresh beets are full of sugar and when halved or quartered then roasted, the sugar caramelizes and gives a unique flavor to the beets. These beets had no special flavor, they were from a can and quartered. Now the really bad, especially as they are a winery. I like sangria, it's a refreshing cool summer drink, composed of fresh fruit (apples, pears, plums, grapes and a healthy portion of citrus) and wine that is left to marinate. I watched the bartender add some 1/4inch pieces of green apples to a glass, fill with ice cubes and add wine. That is not sangria, that is watered down wine with an apple garnish. I will say that the food at other tables really looked good.
