Haywood Smokehouse

"Skip breakfast so you have plenty of room for these delicious and plentiful food platters. I made myself eat all of it as I could not think of desecrating it in a microwave as leftovers. There are great sauces to choose from."

"Im from Texas, so I always like to go to barbecue restaurants that serve brisket outside of the Lone Star state. Haywood came with a lot of good reviews and I was over at innovation brewery and wanted some barbecue and got some takeout. The brisket was not bad, but it wasn't up to Texas. Standards, not enough smoke and a little dry. The Pulled pork was much better. And I love all the different sauces you could put on it, the hot and sweet was the best with a mustard based Carolina flare. It was a little expensive more than I thought. At 28 bucks for a 2 meat plate."

"Wait, time was a little long. But there are not a lot of options nearby, WCU is a busy campus, and Dillsboro and Sylva have options, but they are all smaller scale, so the wait times are a bit longer everywhere you go. The food was good. I had the half slab ribs sides of burnt end baked beans and Mac and cheese. The ribs were excellent, and the baked beans were excellent. The Mac cheese was terrible, took about a bite or two, and never touched it again. The serving size on the sides was generous. My wife and daughter had the pulled pork. Which they liked. Then, the 3 of us shared a peach cobbler with ice cream on the side. Would def visit this location again while at WCU visiting. I would avoid the Mac n cheese though......"

"Wooooweee the ribs on Saturday are amazing!! They slide right off the bone!! They only smoke the baby back ribs on Saturday’s, so you must make the trip on Saturday. Their side porch is also pet friendly so we were able to bring the dog. We were on vacation and it was hot so it was nice she could sit with us instead of in the car with AC running. The sides are also amazing, the Mac n cheese and collard greens were delicious. Our server was also the sweetest lady and brought our dog ice water."

"My goodness was this amazing. The level of flavor developed on the brisket was next level. Best bbq I've had, period. Sides were all homemade and perfect. Affordable too. Fed my family of 4 for $30"
