If I could give this be place 10 stars I would!! HANDS DOWN THE BEST BARBECUE WE HAVE EVER EATEN! My parents owned Chappy's barbecue in CRESTVIEW, FL for 25 years and had to close due to my dad getting cancer in 2003. He had the best barbecue ever. My husband cooks it exactly like my dad. Blue Hound blew us away last night!! Every single thing we had was superb!! The sauces were fantastic too!! We are going back today!! You must go to this place if you are in Dillard!! Service was great and it was very clean and very fast service too!! Food was fresh and hot!! We had a 3 meat combo plate w/collard greens & macaroni and cheese, pork sandwich with coleslaw on top and Brunswick stew. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT!!!

Delicious BBQ from winner of this season's Champions of Que. Fried ribs were spectacular. Smoked turkey & pulled pork Dee-lish! And sweet potato crunch makes a perfect dessert. Say "Hey" to Kyle when you're there. read more

We were in the area visiting a couple state parks in the area and stumbled on this restaurant. It is in an old building which was cool but very low key. Just what we needed after hiking. We both got the pulled pork plate and had mac 'n cheese, sweet potato crunch and Brunswick stew as our sides. OMG, if I could give 6 stars I would. Usually you get good bbq and so-so sides, but not here. Everything was so good we talked about it all the way home (2hrs) and can't wait to return. To top it off, the vast variety of bbq sauces was amazing. Took the recommendation of the girls/employees, we tried the spicy rootbeer bbq sauce. No rootbeer taste, but if you like spicy, that's the one. I had to cool it down a little with the sweet sauce. We tried them all and not a bad choice with any of them. You won't be disappointed! read more

Hands down best BBQ in the area and likely more. True Appalachian spirt and new level of southern home cooking. Was our fav go to even before the Food Channel award. Now just be sure to get there early enough before they sell out!! Kyle is now a world reknown chef in the BBQ world so take advantage to enjoy this local homespun treasure in Dillard. Oh and don't miss those pimento grits and collards, will turn every non believer into a fan!!! read more

My husband and I drove 3 hours to this amazing place. After we watched Kyle become the "Master of Que", we knew we needed to make the trip. We were not disappointed. Everything was beyond delicious, and the portions were more than ample. We enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and ribs (the best ribs we've ever tasted). All were so good that we didn't use any sauce, even though they had a sauce bar to try them all. The sides were so good, especially the Mac and cheese and the potato salad. We will definitely be back to try that famous sausage next time. Congratulations Blue Hound BBQ! Y'all are amazing!! read more

Ohboy, this place is good. The brisket is out of this world. And I LOVE all the pickled goodies they have to eat with the meat. BBQ can get heavy and the pickled stuff cuts right through. Buttermilk slaw was so light, just incredible. I am a big fan. read more

Good BBQ. I like them before they won BBQ Brawl. Now foods still but the fame made the crowded. But its worth it!

Myself, my best friend and my grandma all went to the express location right by Osage farms and were initially apprehensive as we very used to Tomlin's being our post veggie purchase BBQ however we decided to give it a chance and we are glad we did. The service was incredibly friendly yet fast and our food was ready just a few minutes after ordering. We all got the regular sandwich (5oz) and I got a combo since they have Cheerwine as an option (my favorite soda)! We were very pleased with the portion size and quality of the meat. My friend thought it was a tad dry but with the sauces provided that solved that issue. I got the sweet red sauce which was fine but my other two diners got the mountain mustard sauce which was absolutely delicious! The only thing I really wasn't pleased with were the kettle chips. They were cold and under salted. I would try this location or the express location again just with a different side. Luckily the side menu is pretty extensive so plenty of opportunities to return! read more

Hands down the best BBQ I've ever had! Their brisket is top notch, their sides are absolutely mouth-watering, and the service is always friendly. I'm a sucker for their sweet potato crunch, and their collards are fantastic. I don't often crave BBQ, but I definitely get a craving for Blue Hound regularly. Definitely give it a try--you won't regret it! read more

FLAVOR EXPLOSION!!! Wow! Everything we ordered was delicious! A few items were sold out, but that just means we have to come back again soon! read more

Was on a golf trip with the boys, I'm the foodie of the group and I done my research and announced that I was going to Blue Hound BBQ. Everyone agreed that BBQ sounded good. I can without reservation say that they are an excellent option if you're in the area. I've been bitterly disappointed by other restaurants in the vicinity. I'm a fat guy, I'm a pit master and born with an awesome set of taste buds. Just load up the car and head that way, you won't regret it..... read more

This place is fantastic. We were hiking around Tallulah Gorge and I remembered that the guy who won Bobby Flay's "BBQ Brawl" had a restaurant in the area(ish). It was about 20 minutes away, and it did not disappoint. Place was packed, but there seemed to be ample seating. You walk in to a chalkboard with all the goodies. There are platters named after country starts like Willie and Waylon. Friendly staff take your order, you take a seat and they bring you your food. I had a veggie plate with Appalachian beans, mac, collards and sweet potato crunch. All amazing. My wife had ribs and homemade sausage, which she loved. Our friends had smash burgers and stuffed baked potatoes. The stuffing was pulled pork! Rave reviews all around the table. They had a couple TVs in the dining room so we watched a little football. There was also outdoor seating. Looked like a cool little area. I can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent BBQ!!! Many choices to choose your favorite BBQ sauce, fresh toppings, sandwiches, and desserts. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. The brisket was my favorite. Party of four were very pleased with The Blue Hound. read more

The food was scrumptious! My husband and I split a sliced brisket sandwich, so we could try more of the sides, and I'm so glad we did. We upgraded the side and had cornbread instead of chips, and also tried the pimento cheese grits and pinto beans soup! Don't forget to try several sauces, and the pickle bar (onions, pickles and slaw all were unique and delicious). If you are near Dillard, definitely stop. You won't be sorry!!! read more

Amazing food, everything I tried was great. I will always visit here when I am up this way. Service was excellent and fast. The roadside country feel of the restaurant is perfect. read more

Absolutely, some of the best pulled pork I've ever had. I also had the collards and tater salad, both equally good. I HIGHLY recommend this place!! It was worth the drive from Dawsonville. read more

Worth the drive if you are within an hour of this spot. We were a large group and everyone was amazed by the quality of the food. I had the pulled pork, collard greens, coleslaw, kielbasa and pork rinds. All the other sides looked great. By far one of the best spots, we stopped at while in the area. read more

Had an amazing lunch today. We had their special loaded potato and a pulled pork sandwich, along with a rib and grits. Everything was delicious.

Best BBQ in the mountains and it's not even close. I've gone so many times that I've officially had one of everything on the menu, and it's all phenomenal. read more

The Brisket was the best I have ever had. Turkey was good but seasoning rub was a bit much for me. My only suggestion would be offer some good ole' fashion Baked Mac and Cheese. Coleslaw was tasty but a little dry but nothing a little added Mayo didnt fix. The Banana Pudding was delish! read more

Simply the best bbq I've ever eaten. My favorite meat is the brisket. My favorite sides are pimento cheese grits, the Mac and cheese, collard greens, mountain cornbread, Appalachian soup beans. Actually, everything just listed is everything I've tried. I'll try more and let you know. read more

Amazing food, with a hometown family welcome feel. Fantastic menu, multiple sauces to choose from, and homemade dessert menu...honestly what else could you ask for? Clean, smells delicious, owner run the counter and kitchen, and when not busy they clean up and chat with the customers. They are wonderful people! read more

Tried this today after watching BBQ Brawl. Excellent blueberry cornbread and barbecue

We had Blue Hound BBQ catering for our son's rehearsal dinner at a nearby winery this past weekend, and it was Five Stars all around! From the very beginning, I had great communication with the catering people, and they were very helpful. They delivered the food perfectly with time to spare. Almost every single of the sixty guests complimented us on the food. It was plentiful and delicious. We were very happy and cannot thank the Blue Hound crew enough! read more

Just had lunch at The Blue Hound in Dillard! Husband and I split the two meat plate that included 2 sides. Turkey was juicy and pulled pork was too. Many sauces to choose from including white. Mac and Cheese was creamy; collards were spiced just right. You can choose from indoor or outdoor seating. Can't wait to return! read more

The food is absolutely incredible. Coming from a Texan, the brisket tastes like something I'd get back home.

Absolutely shocked at how great the food was here! Smoked chicken sandwich was amazing, the BBQ sauce options are phenomenal, the pulled pork was fantastic and the grits were top notch! Don't miss a chance to eat here, it's wonderful! read more

After hiking up to Rabun Bald, I stopped at Blue Hound BBQ. Josh made me the best brisket sandwich and explained the 14 or so bbq sauces they offer. I always skip sauces, and the brisket was so juicy and flavorful, even w/o a sauce on top. I also got the banana pudding. It was a huge serving - and absolutely delicious! I could only eat 1/2 of it bc the sandwich was so filling. Thanks so much, Josh! read more

Best restaurant around. Seriously. I've never had a better turkey in my life. Awesome service. Awesome ambience. This place is an 11/10. You will not be disappointed read more

I go out of my way to eat bbq when I travel. Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, St. Louis, Kansas City, Charlotte, Durham. I've had bbq a fair number of places. Until now Texas had the best brisket I've had. The brisket here was right there with it. Best I've had. The sauces are regionally varied so you should be able to find something you like if you're a sauce person. Service was great. read more

The brisket and mac & cheese are awesome. I would highly recommend. A+++++++++++++++++++++

Incredible food. Wings, collards, pork belly and pork sandwich were all fantastic. Loved the pickles and pickled onions. Service was great as well! read more
