I have years of food service(a cook myself each time)within my palate, so I can be a bit picky. I lived in South Carolina, near Charleston, for a while. Barbecue is their world, and I can say I've tried just about every style BBQ known just from living there. Hometown Smokehouse, blew my mind away!! Hands down the best barbecue I have had in a very, very long time! Diamond in the rough. Great job to the owners, cooks, and servers there! Your business will grow fast with excellent food like that. May you prosper beyond your dreams.

I also ordered a spinach artichoke dip. The chips were stale and the bread was too crunchy. I didn't taste the artichoke or spinach, it just tasted like runny cheese. There were flies around the restraunt as well. This was the first time I have ever walked away from somewhere not eating my dish because I felt sick after taking a few bites, and I'm almost 30. I regret spending 50$ here. My family went to Buccilli's Pizza instead and I highly recommend them. The stark contrast from dead silent diner with molded walls and overpriced bland food to a lively well kept and clean restaurant with award winning pizza was refreshing. Don't fall for the pictures and view of the lake- this place is gross and they do not care about the food they're serving. They just want your money.

St Helen's does not have a lot of options for lunch and my friend said he had good experiences before. My friend insisted that the portobello fries were good and we ordered the appetizer - and he was right! They were actually very good! The batter was light on them so I appreciated that as it did not make it too heavy. My hubby ordered just chili for lunch and he was surprised it had as much spicy kick to it as it did - and that was a huge plus for him. I ordered a salad with seared tuna - I forgot to get a picture of it but there was a decent amount of tuna. The salad itself was fresh and crisp with a good Asian dressing.

This review is far overdue as we were there back in early July while on a road trip. We were just…read moretalking about it and I remembered that I needed to write this review. When we arrived there were no closed signs or anything but they were having a graduation party. Asked about takeout and they insisted that we join the party and wouldn't accept any payment, only accept a donation to the graduate if we wanted to (of course we did). This actually worked to our favor because we don't eat much so we got to sample very reasonable size portions of several options we might not have gotten to if we purchased a full meal to split. Also, since we were traveling, we wouldn't have been able to keep leftovers and would have felt bad about wasting it. It was also nice to meet and chat with folks from the area. It was one of the highlights of our first trip to this incredible state. The barbecue was so good we're still talking about it months later. The meats were exceptional. Perfect seasoning. Perfect smoke. Obviously high quality meat to start with. The sides were very satisfying as they were traditional, but at a very high standard. This was a place that would beat most, if not all of our local southern joints hands down. I don't know if we'll be back in that area again, but if we are this will be one of our stops for sure.

I'm very fussy about my BBQ. Because of the reviews we decided to try it. Brisket is the best I've…read moreever tasted. Perfectly done. Pulled pork is excellent also. I had the dinner sampler. Sausage, I had the jalapeño, cheddar. 10/10. Pulled pork 9/10. Brisket 10/10. Mac & cheese 10/10. I used to live on the Virginia-north Carolina border & love the BbQ sauce from there. This was too sweet. But northerners might like it. (Yellow sauce) They also have original sauce. Mac & cheese tastes like my homemade straight out of a southern kitchen. You've never seen a baked potato like theirs. Huge with triple the normal amount of toppings you can put on it. Dessert- coconut cream pie. Disappointing. Peach cobbler is so easy to make & would taste much better. Huge & I mean huge proportions. My dish could easily feed 2-3 people. They are only open a couple days a week. Thursday & Friday when we went. Best place in Gaylord!!!! They also cater. Would be great for a lakeside party.

There were many items I would want to try, but given my limited time I went with the chicken Caesar salad. It was a perfect lunch portion and the chicken was lightly blackened. It was so tasty! I also ordered their bread basket, which was two pieces of grilled bread. It was a perfect side for the salad. I enjoyed it so much I plan to eat here again the next time I'm in town for work.
