Have you tried The Ranch House on Kennedy Creek Rd? I haven't but it's
run by the mother/daughters team that took 7th overall at the Jack
Daniels invitational, 1st in pulled pork. How bad could it be? I've
judged their comp Q and it was worth eating, surely better than a trip
to Burger King or worse yet total Q deprivation. Have you tried Smokin'
Pete's, Ace BBQ or RedTop? Inquiring minds want to know.
