Joe’s Real BBQ opened in 1998 and is still making BBQ lovers rejoice. Meats are smoked with pecan wood in three J&R 700 Oyler Pits, and rubs are mixed to complement each one, such as a savory rub for brisket, and a sweeter rub for ribs. Twelve homemade sides are offered, with BBQ pit beans and mac ‘n cheese being perennial top sellers. Wash it all down with homemade root beer or Joe’s signature BBQ Beer, a pilsner made by local 12 West Brewing. Indulge in desserts like seasonal cobblers with fruit from Joe’s farm at Agritopia.
