Charlie's Bar-B-Que

Decided to try a new BBQ place tonight. Reviews were mixed but mostly good so we gave it a shot. The decor is great, outdoorsy with a lot of deer, boar, elk, etc. mounts, old saddles. And they were playing 70's disco music which we happen to like and at a reasonable level. Quick service (to be fair we were the only ones there at the time) I ordered the 3 meat plate with brisket, pulled pork, and St. Louis ribs. Sides of fried okra and potato salad. Wife ordered a brisket sandwich and sides of baked beans. The brisket was fair. It had a decent bark but from what I could tell little to no smoke ring. Flavor was okay but missing the smoke. The pulled pork was pretty tough and I didn't care much for the flavor. You get 1 rib. It was nice and tender, pulled from the bone pretty easy but again, missing smoke. The okra was amazing. Unlike many places that use frozen, pre-breaded okra this was fresh okra and fried when I ordered it. Very tasty with a nice, crunchy breading and since it wasn't frozen it had a bit of a bite (not all mushy). The potato salad was also very good. Not sure if it is house made or purchased but it was one of the better potato salads I've had. The BBQ sauce neither of us cared for. It's more of a 'Carolina' style with too much vinegar. The brisket sandwich would have been better if they toasted the bun. The baked beans I'm pretty sure were just canned beans not homemade. Price was about what you would expect from a BBQ place, we spent $40 for the meal.

The side are phenomenal. I love their pulled pork and the BBQ sauce is superb. But, the PIE!!! The blackberry pie is perfection! I think this is our new go to BBQ restaurant in this area. ❤️
