What you need to know

Doc Brown's BBQ is a small, family-owned Carolina-style barbecue joint on Smokey Park Highway in Candler, a few minutes west of Asheville. Since 2013 it has served 100% wood-smoked pulled pork, chopped brisket, turkey and spare ribs, with house sauces and scratch-made Southern sides like mac and cheese pie, sweet potato souffle and church picnic potato salad. There's BBQ tempeh for vegetarians and draft beer to go in growlers.

Local's Tip

Get the Memphis dry-rubbed ribs or the Brunswick stew. It's open Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM, and closed Sunday.

What the locals say

Locals say it's worth the drive out Smokey Park Highway for barbecue this good. Regulars rave about the pitmaster's smoked meats, and the sides are just as strong.
