1. Hendrix BBQ

This local favorite serves up all the BBQ classics in a place that makes you feel right at home while you enjoy your meal. As far as sides go, you can’t do much better than the seasoned fries they serve up at this joint. The perfect blend of spices on crispy potatoes are a match made in heaven. The grilled BBQ chicken makes the perfect entrée, with tender meat and a generous amount of tangy sauce.

2. Porky’s Bar BQ

We loved the fast and friendly service we got when we stopped in for a meal at Porky’s. You’ll have an option between red or white slaw to get started with, and both have a refreshing taste with just enough bite to them. Whatever you end up getting for your main course, do yourself a favor and get an order of their hush puppies as well. They make the perfect snack to complement your meal.

3. The Smoke Pit

When you claim to have the best BBQ, period, you better be able to back that up with some flavors. Lucky for us local BBQ fans, that’s exactly what you get from The Smoke Pit. Try their Texas brisket or burnt ends for a classic meal. You’ll also get your choice of cornbread, hush puppies, or Texas toast, as well as pickles and onions and your choice of side on a small plate or two sides for a large plate.

4. Marlow’s Bar-B-Q and Seafood

How can you make authentic slow-cooked BBQ even better? By pairing it with the freshest seafood plates you can get in town! Their large BBQ sandwich is enough of a meal to satisfy even the biggest eaters, available either chopped or sliced style. Their seafood is top-notch as well. The all-you-can-eat baby flounder will keep on coming until you’re all filled up.

5. Cook Out

A combination of hot plates and cool treats make this a must-see for BBQ fans in our area. Their BBQ plate comes complete with a side of slaw, French fries, and hush puppies. Once you’ve tackled that meal, you can wash it all down with a handcrafted milkshake. They’ve got dozens of flavors to choose from, but not much is better in our eyes than the peanut butter fudge.
