“ THEY'RE BACK AND OPEN AGAIN!!!!!! And just as tasty as before!!! I got the Loaded Nachos for lunch today and they DID NOT disappoint! Run, don't walk, to enjoy some amazing food when you're int he area!!!! ”
“ Greeting my fellow Yelper's! So ended up coming to this restaurant with members of my church and it turned out to be pretty good. The only hiccup some of us ran into was when our waiter brought us something entirely different from what we had originally ordered and did. It tell us. Therefore, I highly encourage everyone to advise the young waiters at this place to let their guest know ahead of time, what's available to eat and what's not? That way there is no confusion when ordering. Especially on the sampler platter. I was under the impression that it was supposed to serve 3 meats when in reality, it was only a total of two. Other than that the ribs and beef brisket was nicely smothered in a smoke finish. As I like to say, "Not too shabby." ”
“ Two of us enjoyed the tomato-based BBQ sandwich and one of us found the mustard-based BBQ to be very good (although in sharing a bit, not everyone liked the latter). The sandwich rolls got a bit soggy so two of us just ate the pulled pork inside. Very friendly service. The name of this establishment seems now to be The 1835 Smokehouse. ”
“ I'm not sure what happened, but the beloved Log Cabin BBQ is now called the 1835 Smokehouse-- at least temporarily it sounds like. But not to freight, we can confirm that it's just as good! The inside is clean and looks newly updated. The menu has everything from appetizers, to salads, to the main event, barbecue! Our table started with the fried pickles and smokehouse pork fries. Our server let us know ahead of time that their fried pickles are a little peculiar-- instead of chips or spears, they're more like actual fries. But sooo good! The cheese fries were also a huge hit. We all got sandwiches of some sort-- either the South Carolina or North Carolina. The SC came with a mustard-based sauce which had some tang to it. We also received extra on the side. The sides we got like the potato salad and hushpuppies were good, though we didn't care much for the coleslaw. Might be personal preference! All in all, a trip to Massanutten is not complete without a trip down the hill to the best barbecue place in the area!! Definitely worth a try! ”
“ We got both types of BBQ, the North Carolina pork BBQ sandwich with Mac and cheese and the original pork BBQ sandwich with fries and a side of half (6) hush puppies. The prices were very reasonable, the service was good and the food was delicious. The NC BBQ reminded us more of Smithfield BBQ but was still good. The original BBQ kinda tasted like the sloppy joe flavors but was also good. The hush puppies were the best. Even thought about getting some to go. Both sides (Mac and cheese & fries) were pretty standard, nothing to call home about. ”
“ This place was recommended by a local. Decided to give it a try since the person raved about it. It's a very small little quaint place. The food exceeded my expectations. I liked every single thing we ordered. The corn muffins were sweet and freshly baked, the baked beans were great and the ribs were fall off the bone! The Mac and cheese was creamy and tasty too. The pulled pork and beef were flavorful and had the perfect amount of sauce. The service was good and the bathrooms were newly renovated and clean. I would definitely recommend this place to someone who likes good bbq! ”
“ Consistently good. Keeps us coming back. This is our 4th time vacationing in the area, and our 4th time the family demanded we eat here. And you know what? The plasticware & disposable plates makes you feel more at ease in this Covid crazy time we are living in. Just dang good BBQ here. And awesome icecream. Eat, enjoy, go. Great for takeout too. ”
