    A Texas-style barbecue spot on an empty stretch of highway past the train tracks in Pocahontas, where the meats come by the half pound and the brisket arrives with the kind of charred bark that makes a strong argument for skipping the burger menu. The pork butt takes on a Carolina mustard sauce without complaint. Sides carry their weight. A big patio makes it easy for families. Michelin Bib Gourmand.

    • Smoked chicken wings

      “Sure, the menu has burgers, loaded potatoes, and even some delicious smoked chicken wings, but don’t let anything distract you from the excellent meats sold by the half pound.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
