    Ordered the Devil's Elbow sandwich and Sliced Smoked Duck to go. Service was friendly and efficient. The Devil's Elbow was good. Lots of moist pork and fried pickles. Without sauce, I went with the Catamount Gold, it was pretty bland. It's a personal preference, but I like to taste some dry rub in my pulled pork. The Sliced Smoked Duck was INSANELY DELICIOUS! It is not just the best smoked duck I have ever had, which it definitely was, but possibly the best duck I have ever had. I am no newbie when it comes to duck. I usually order it if it's on the menu and make it myself, including on my Traeger. I made dinner around the smoked duck the next day, with asparagus, maitake mushrooms, sweet onions and hatch chiles. So good! Due note the limited hours, but if you are nearby when they are open, definitely give them a try. The creek setting is a very nice bonus.

    I recently moved to this general area and passed by this gem several times. The aromas coming from the smokers is totally inviting. Today I was able to eat there for the first time and it totally lived up to the other rave reviews on Yelp. I was a party of one and it was difficult to decide what to get. I chose the half rack of St Louis Ribs, 8oz cowboy beans and an ice tea. The woman who took my order was very nice and gave me instructions on where I could sit and also find napkins and utensils. They have plenty of outdoor seating along a flowing creek and many trees. Just beautiful. My order was delivered to my table in less than 10 minutes. The ribs were smoked and seasoned perfectly!! 7 bones of lean, tender, juicy but not overly fatty ribs. On the table were large bottles of their 4 types of sauces. All excellent and really complement the meat. The beans were a mixture of pinto and black beans. They were very good. The tea was clearly fresh brewed. I'm looking forward to returning and trying some of their other menu items.

    Delicious! I always get the duck and sweet potato fries. Best BBQ around. Side note: go next door for the ice cream.
