While your visiting Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum in Maggie Valley, go down the road just a little & stop @ Butts on The Creek. Good BBQ last time we were there. If you like barbeque you can't really go wrong just about anywhere there. IMHO.
I remembered the name of the joint with the grouper fingers. The Salty Dog.
Hmm...never been in back. Always parked in front, sat in front. Verticle white stripes on front, IIRC.
Another neat place is the Bobarosa (like Ponderosa) on the French Broad river. "Biker" oriented but cold beer and tbles along the river with table service.
Iff'n yer gonna do the Cherohala Skyway, do Krambonz BBQ at the end of it in Telico Plains, TN. It's in the same parking lot as the Save a Lot supermarket. This place has become legendary in the motorcycling world.
The Dog is right up the street from Wheels Through Time.
In fact I was indeed planning on the Skyway for several reasons. With the number one being that it was by far my big brothers favorite road and while he has been gone from this world for a few years he was known as "grocro" on the old forums and could ride like he was outrunning stink.... I like your idea of Krambonz BBQ, thanks!You'll like it even more when you're waddling out. This is the real deal. I like the brisket, but everything's excellent. And really nice folks that run it.
If you go to Tellico Plains, stop in at the Tellico Grains Bakery. Great little family run place with good bread, good sandwiches, and incredible canoles. Very clean and the owners/employees treated us like family. And I believe it was on old bank when built in the early 1900s.
