    Pulled pork is kind of dry and bland. Sides are excellent.

    Nice casual family BBQ restaurant. It has that nice homely feel of the deep south. There seem to be a lot of local families eating here as well as people passing through. The prices are really great and the food is excellent for the price level. Service is friendly. The pulled pork is editable. It reminded me of the consistency of canned tuna fish in water. It is dry and bland tasting. Need to pour on the BBQ sauce. I highly recommend the rib eye steak dinner for $16.50. The steak is excellent for the price. Tasty and grilled perfectly. Good size steak for the money. The sides are excellent. Macaroni & cheese, green beans, and Cole slaw.

    Pork plate with onion rings and Brunswick stew

    Was on vacation and looking for a good barbecue place. We showed up about a half hour before they closed, but they were still super nice and gave us a lot of attention. I got the pork plate which was a lot of food. The sides were all very good, we tried a lot of them between me and my friends. Two good vinegar based sauces, and one good sweet sauce. Lovely place with lovely staff, would definitely eat there again.

    Cute signage

    My family was staying in Dillard and we had decided this was a place to put on "eat at" list. We order bulk items to go. We got pulled pork, Mac n cheese, and baked beans. Everyone was happy with the quality and taste of the food. My family orders bbq every where we go. They said this was above average. We had the mild sauce which seemed to work for everyone in the group. When we return to the area we will be back!!

    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.

Otherwise park further behind or across street & short walk over. It's an old converted gas station on the corner. Majority of seating is outside. There's some inside seating & a bar inside. Old gas station style bathrooms outside & around the corner. There's a stage for events. Appears to be pet friendly. Nice view of Main Street with shops, desserts & boutiques.

The establish was not busy. The tables were sticky and had visible signs of glass rings. For not being busy, it took a considerable amount of time for the food to come out. While my food was very good, the wife had fries that were cold. We were served food without any utensils or napkins. It took 8 minutes for utensils to arrive and one napkin each. We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries.
