“ We stopped here after biking the Virginia Creeper trail. Tasty BBQ. White Coleslaw. Generous portions. Very friendly service. No dining in -- just sit at one of the outdoor picnic tables and enjoy the views. ”
“ Most excellent thin sliced, not chopped or pulled BBQ. Highly recommended. Had to go back and get another. Very freshly sliced and prepared to order. Sauce five stars. Cole slaw fresh and perfectly fined chopped with very little mayo. They practice one of the secrets of outstanding bbq: Always keep the sauce heated and somther. ”
“ Phenomenal food. They have a good menu, but I've only ever tried their BBQ sandwich and I've been going there for well over a decade. Really the best BBQ within an hour. It is counter service, seating is outside under a picnic structure or at your house, no dine-in. ”

“ I'm From Abingdon, Va we was traveling from Boone back home. I got a cheeseburger here. And let me tell you I got a burger at Margaritaville and the burger here was better than I had there. If i lived closer i would visit about daily. Such a great place to eat ”
