    Backwoods is the word! This place is literally out in the middle of the mountains. Food was excellent! We tried the platter which had chicken, brisket, and pulled pork. We also had a dozen wings- honey garlic, sauce is very good! Definitely worth the try!!

    Stopped for ice cream and milkshakes were great and extremely reasonable. Wrangler gives the brisket 5/5 and the sunset 10/10. Will be back tomorrow for some more before heading home from a great camping week! Owner is super nice and friendly!

    Great food and fast service. We will definitely be returning for more. My husband ate my son's leftover mac and cheese with brisket and our son was devastated so we have to come back soon!
