Haywood Smokehouse

You can't call yourself a true Haywood local unless you know where to find some of the best BBQ in town. Haywood Smokehouse is the home of old school BBQ, slow-smoked over real hickory and cooked by temperature, never by the clock. From traditional chopped pork and sliced brisket to dry-rubbed ribs and homemade pecan pie, this is the place for great BBQ.

Yelp ranked their brisket No. 1 in the U.S. and Canada, and named them the highest-ranked barbecue restaurant in North Carolina. Order online for pickup or catering, with nationwide shipping coming soon, including Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and the UK. Family owned in the Smoky Mountains, and worth the drive.
