Yum! Yum! Yum! This place is FANTASTIC! Loved watching Kyle win Food Network's BBQ Brawl! The food...let's just say there was a lot of meaning and OMGs coming from everyone in the restaurant! They have a great BBQ Sauce Station so you can try all the sauces...but honestly...their bbq does not need sauce!!! Yes, it's THAT GOOD! The sides are just as amazing as their bbq. They run out so come early on the weekends! This is a walk up and order place and then they deliver to your table. They have indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas. It gets a bit loud inside because it is always busy. But that is just part of the charm.

Barbecue Brawl dreams came true! As a huge Barbecue Brawl fan, I was thrilled to find out that Blue Hound BBQ was just minutes away from our vacation spot. Kyle was one of my favorite contenders, and though I hadn't watched the finale yet (my husband and I were waiting to watch it together), I couldn't resist checking out his restaurant while I was in town. We showed up right before opening on Tuesday, and there was already a small line forming, which wasn't surprising since the finale had just aired that Sunday. When we reached the restaurant, I spotted the trophy in the window--spoiler alert: he won! (Don't worry, I kept that info to myself so my husband could enjoy the surprise later.) The restaurant itself is cozy and casual counter service, friendly vibes, and a sauce station with four different barbecue sauces, pickles, and pepper relish. I ordered the two-meat platter with brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage, plus baked potato salad and soup beans. I also had to try the peach cobbler. My daughter ordered the BBQ eggrolls (pulled pork, pimento cheese, and collard greens--SO good!), with mac & cheese, coleslaw, and banana pudding. We also tried the cornbread, pulled pork sandwich, and sweet potato crumble. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The brisket? Perfection... tender, juicy, smoky. The eggrolls? A must-try. The peach cobbler and banana pudding? Sweet, rich, and comforting. The sausage had great flavor but wasn't my favorite texture, just a personal preference and nothing against the recipe. The cornbread is more traditional than sweet (just a heads-up if you're expecting sugary cornbread). And the cherry on top? Kyle was there! We got to meet him and snap a photo, which made the visit even more memorable. If you're anywhere near Dillard, GA--make the trip. This place lives up to the hype. 10/10 recommend!

Pickles, pickled onions, jalapenos, and chow chow

Simply outstanding. There is a reason why Kyle is in the finale of BBQ Brawl. My stomach was not big enough to eat all of the food on the menu. BBQ egg rolls are to die for. The collard greens in the egg roll and honey to dip them in are a nice touch. The Pork Belly bites are sticky pork goodness. Brisket cooked so well, it just falls apart. If you've seen the show, get the Appalachian Beans. Just don't question it. Mac and Cheese was creamy and delicious. Stop by the BBQ sauce and pickled sides bar. Unfortunately, didn't get to sample the beef cheeks or sausage. The banana pudding has a little hint of cinnamon, or at least my tongue tasted it. Get there early, get there now. I'm sure once he can publicize that he won BBQ Brawl (fingers crossed), there will be a line out the door. I'm rooting for him. We live 2 hours away and would consider a day trip.

I have been here a few times I can honestly say I have zero complaints. I talked with someone and they said they had a bad experience and wouldn't be back. That's such a shame because this is definitely the best BBQ I have had. The food is great! The prices are reasonable! And the atmosphere is perfect for our Blue Ridge mountains. Get there on a nice day and get a table outside. Love the bbq sauces station and the smell of the smoker letting you know this place is the real deal.

We drove almost 5 hours to try Blue Hound BBQ, and while there's no doubt the owner knows how to cook, it felt like too many liberties were taken for efficiency over food quality. Unfortunately, all of the food came out cold. The egg rolls especially were disappointing--they tasted like they'd been fried earlier and left sitting until one side became soggy. On the positive side, the staff was super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They had our food out quickly, which was appreciated after a long trip. I gave this place 2 stars, and that's solely for the friendliness of the staff. The service was great, but the food quality just didn't live up to the hype or the drive.

Three choices of pickled veggies. Loved the cabbage the best.

Jane H.

We watched Kyle win on Barbecue Brawl and were fortunate enough to get to his little place. From Nogales, AZ to Dillard, GA. Totally worth it!! Hubby and I shared a combo plate with smoked turkey, pork ribs, pintos and slaw. Delicious! The smoked turkey was the Bomb! Tender, juicy. The vinegary sauce was delicious-two types served. The pickled cabbage, pickles and onions were great accompaniments. Very helpful service. Cute little place along the highway. Totally worth the trip.

I have had the best BBQ in the country... From Franklins to Lewis and everything in between. Blue Hound has no favor... no smoke, bland brisket and pork. If I am paying high end BBQ prices it wont be on this. A million flies on our indoor table... and I hate chunky stew... the worst... its sad when the mac was the best.

The pork belly bites here are the best ever, absolutely worth the one-hour drive every time! I love this place. The banana pudding is so good, and the wings, brisket, and sausage were all delicious. I've been three times so far. The first visit was just because I happened to be driving by, but the other two trips were specifically just to come back for the food. Can't wait to go back

Three meat combo! You can tell how thin and dry the ribs are!

Phillip S.

We had our food soon after placing our order. Our bill for two was $52+. We got the 3 meat combo , brisket, ribs and pork belly. Sides were collards, Mac and cheese and the pimento cheese grits. Sadly the best think was the grits. Tea was good. Ribs had good flavor but were the ends and had very little meat and was tough. One slice of brisket and mostly fat. Pork belly, don't even ask. I normally don't leave a bad review but for what we paid we were extremely disappointed. Only giving 3 stars because the kids made up some for the meat!

Wonderful BBQ! Try the ribs! Sweet potato crunch! And the cornbread! Will say the Brunswick stew has too much vinegar taste! But, some folks like it. Service, I enjoyed speaking with the pit master! Wonderful stories! Great location on 441!

If you're anywhere near Dillard, Georgia--or even if you're not--you need to visit The Blue Hound BBQ Grill. This place is a hidden gem tucked away in far north Georgia, and it's worth every mile of the trip. They opened in June of this year, but they're already making serious waves with their food, service, and atmosphere. From the moment I walked in, I noticed the friendly and welcoming vibe. Customers were coming and going, excited to pick up their food, and the regulars were being treated like family. It's one of those places where you can feel the community, even if you're a first-timer. The Space & Parking: The restaurant itself is large and spacious, with plenty of tables. Even during a busy lunch hour, there was no issue finding a seat. Parking? Not a problem at all. They're the only building on this side of the road, so you've got room to park comfortably--none of that cramped, tight parking lot nonsense. The Food: Now, let's get into the important part: the food. If you're like me and prefer BBQ without sauce, you're in for a treat. Their seasoning game is top-notch, and everything I tried was so flavorful that sauce wasn't necessary. That said, they do have a variety of sauces, including one called Brasstown sauce, which is their brisket sauce. Even though I'm usually a no-sauce guy, this one was excellent and worth trying. I went all in and tried a little bit of everything: Turkey: Tender, moist, and packed with flavor. It's not easy to keep turkey from drying out, but they nailed it. This paired well with their brasstown sauce AND their blueberry sauce. Sausage: I'm not typically a sausage fan, but I finished this one. It was that good. Well-prepped and seasoned perfectly. Ribs: The seasoning was so good that I didn't even think about adding sauce. Each bite was packed with smoky, savory flavor. Pulled Pork: Hidden under perfectly toasted bread. It was tender, juicy, and paired beautifully with the sweet bbq sauce. I can only imagine how good their pulled pork sandwich would be. Brisket: My favorite. It was perfectly seasoned, tender, and literally melted in my mouth. I barely used the Brasstown sauce because it just didn't need it--but when I did, it was the perfect match. The Sides: Of course, I had to try the sides. Here's the ranking, from least to most favorite (though they were all good): 1. Baked Beans: Classic and tasty. 2. Mac & Cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and comforting. 3. Collard Greens: The unexpected star of the show. I'm not sure what kind of magic they worked on these greens, but they were some of the best I've ever had. I'm guessing there's some pork fat involved because the flavor was incredible. The Drinks: They've got a self-serve Coca-Cola machine, which was a huge plus for me. I had all the Coke Zero I needed to wash down this awesome meal. Dessert: I was too stuffed to try any dessert, but they do have a few options, including some specials. Next time, I'll be sure to save room because if the desserts are anything like the BBQ, they're going to be amazing. Final Thoughts: The Blue Hound BBQ & Grill is a must-visit spot if you're anywhere near Dillard, GA. Whether you're passing through or looking for a road trip destination, this place won't disappoint. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service makes you feel like part of the family. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommend trying the brisket and collard greens--and if you're a sauce person, don't skip the Brasstown sauce. It's a game-changer. Pro tip: Come hungry. You'll want to try everything!

The folks at Blue Hound are friendly, the meats are good, and watching people enjoying themselves at Highlands Outpost is lots of fun, too! We have eaten here several times, and also taken food to go when we've got a time crunch. My favorite sides are the collards and cheese grits. Blue Hound's sides are the real deal, not some out-of-the-can stuff. Stop by here; you'll thank me.

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

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

Really REALLY good BBQ! We were traveling and stayed at a nearby hotel. we needed dinner and found this place. You get in line to place your order then find a table. They bring your meal out to you. We both got the pulled pork sandwich. It came with kettle chips, which my husband likes but I usually don't care for. For a $2.00 upcharge I got the baked potato salad. The sandwich was outstanding! The pork was melt in your mouth tender and juicy. I've never had potato salad like this before and am now in love with it! They don't put sauce on their meat, and it truly doesn't need it, but they have different types up by the drink station that you can use. Some very original but I went for the tomato sweet. Very good. Two different people came around to see if we were happy with our meal. The place was clean, organized, and pleasant to eat in. Their prices may be a little higher than we were used to but the food was fresh, high quality, and delicious so I believe the little extra price was totally worth it! read more

I had a wonderful lunch here on the way out of Highlands. Staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and informative about anything I had questions about (recommendations on meats, sides, sauces, etc.). I ordered the combo plate w brisket, sausage, cheese grits, and creamed corn. The food came out pretty quickly and I enjoyed everything immensely. The brisket could be cut w a spoon and the dais have had jalapeño and cheddar mixed in for added flavor. The cheese grits were rich and creamy and the creamed corn tasted almost as good as my grandmother's recipe. My favorite part was the sauce bar, that had squeeze bottles w probably 12 or so house made sauces of various kinds. I tried the Alabama white, Solomon sauce (steak sauce based), sorghum sweet sauce, and cheerwine sauce. All were amazing but I found myself putting the cheerwine and white sauce on most everything. I will be back for sure anytime I am in the area. read more

If you're anywhere near Dillsboro or Franklin and craving barbecue done right, do yourself a favor…read moreand head straight to Haywood Smokehouse. This place doesn't just serve food--they serve comfort, craftsmanship, and enough smoky goodness to make you wonder why you ever ate anywhere else. The star of my visit? The fried honey BBQ ribs. Good grief. These things should come with a warning label because once you take that first bite--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in that sticky-sweet honey BBQ magic--you're officially ruined for all other ribs. They're the kind of ribs that make you pause mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. Absolute perfection. The service was exceptional from the greeter that welcomed us when we walked in to our server (Paige). Everything else followed suit: hearty portions, rich smoky flavor throughout, and sides that taste like they came straight from someone's grandma's kitchen. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and the whole experience felt like a hug delivered through barbecue. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic, delicious, and memorable, Haywood Smokehouse deserves a spot at the top of your list. And seriously--don't leave without getting those fried honey BBQ ribs. You'll be thinking about them long after the plate is empty.

Probably the best BBQ I've ever had. Cool little country place. The service was excellent and…read morefriendly. We sat outside with our dog in the shaded seating area. I felt that the pricing was quite fair, considering the extremely high quality. I tried the brisket and ribs and they were both top notch. Very highly recommended and worth going out of your way for a treat like this.

This was our first time at this location. We have been to the Dillsboro previously and loved it so…read morewe thought we'd give this location a try and what a great choice that was!! It doesn't look big on the outside but inside it set up to hold tons of tables. They do over take out as well so you can call ahead and for pick up or come in and order to go. We were able to be seated immediately around 1 pm on Saturday. Our waitress came right over to give us the specials and see if we had ever been before or had any questions on the sauces. We placed our food order and it wasn't too long until the we had the best smells right in front of us! I had the special, brisket tacos and he had the brisket sandwich! Every bite was tender and delicious!! Portion sizes were good and prices were decent. If you love tender and delicious BBQ then absolutely stop here!! If not move along and the leave the goods for the rest of us!

When stopping to get the best berries around at Osage, grab your shake! Worth the stop alone. The 4 stars are only because of the meat.

Blue Hound BBQ knocked it out of the park! The brisket sammie was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of smoky flavor. The Mac & Crack lived up to the name--creamy and so cheesy . But the real surprise? The BBQ egg rolls--a genius twist packed with bold flavor in every bite. Everything was hot, fresh, and insanely good. Can't wait to come back for round two! read more
