65 South BBQ

Definitely worth the 2.5-hour drive! (OK, we came to the area for other things too.) My personal criteria for a top-notch BBQ joint is the brisket and the mac-n-cheese. They both hit the mark big time! And the pulled pork, pulled chicken, coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad were all incredible. No ribs were ready when we arrived (super bummed), so may need to go back. Wish I lived closer!

Pro Tip: come early and come often!!! Open at 11 am until they run out of delicious 🤤 BBQ and sides. I grew up in OK eating some fantastic BBQ and this is the real deal. Cannot wait to come back. At 3 pm on Saturday, we were able to order the last brisket sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich. The food was excellent and fresh!! Service was outstanding!!!

It’s a shame that only Brisket was the only available meat when we visited. Didn’t care for their sauce it tasted very vinegary. Mac n Cheese was good. The staff was very attentive.

Great food, super nice people working. I was hiking on the Appalachian trail, and read some great reviews, so I called ahead to make sure there was still brisket and stopped for lunch. This was a great break from hiking, and fantastic food. I’ll be back for sure.

Hands down best BBQ restaurant in town. The pulled pork melts in your mouth, there is no gristle or fat - it’s all meat. The brisket is phenomenal, arguably the best we’ve ever had. Fresh cut fries are amazing and the baked beans are to die for. (And I DO NOT like baked beans - these are amazing). Staff are very friendly and the restaurant is clean. Highly recommend!
