Backyard BBQ - Shoulder Plate with Fries and slaw

Y'all, I'm calling it right now: this is the best barbecue in the entire United States. That smoked pork shoulder plate--tender, juicy meat, kissed with smoke for hours, edged with perfect bark, and paired with their peppery vinegar dip--had me closing my eyes with every bite like I was cheating on every other BBQ joint I've ever loved. The mayo slaw was creamy crack abd the baked beans tasted like they'd been simmering since last Thanksgiving. If you ever find yourself within 100 miles of Tompkinsville, you owe your soul a detour. Backyard BBQ isn't just a meal, it's a religious experience with a side of fries. 11/10, no notes, already planning the next pilgrimage.

The menu is extensive with a ton of meat options as well as delicious sides. My husband got the chicken breast plate which comes with two sides and is plenty of food. The sauce is on top and not a thick sauce but super flavorful. I had several sides which were amazing! I went back for more green beans and baked beans as those were my favorites. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. It is a very welcoming and chill spot with an amazing smell from the smoking meats. Definitely worth a detour to try this spot! We will stop here again if even close, and might just plan a trip down to get some of their BBQ!
