Beaver Creek Biscuit Company and BBQ

I don't move much because I'm large and lethargic... So, it was time to get some exercise outdoors because if I'm in my home gym I end up drinking whiskey and making a big pot of chili. Got in the car and drove out to Sweetwater Creek. After a few miles of hiking next to the river with some sweet rapids and pretending I was in the Revenant, I had about enough of this nature shit... It was time to stuff the pouch. Since, I was in the country there's gotta be some good BBQ out here. There's a few BBQ joints nearby but this little shithole looked like it had promise... The shittier the place looks on the outside the better Q it should have. This little red shack supposedly have some good biscuits and breakfast grub but they ain't serving that shit since it's 3 in the afternoon. But they also have BBQ for lunch and on. There's a shack next to it that has "Smokehouse" painted on the side and there's piglet statues on the roof... It had all the markings of a true Q joint. The internet also had good ratings on this place but everyone knows you can't fucking trust all that yahoo bullshit online. Let's see how many tooths we can count in here.

The cute little shithole's exterior... If it looks like a gas station or an outhouse that's a good sign... But I don't know about that French chef statue on the side there... Hmmm. There's not many items on the menu except for the standard BBQ options (plates & sandos) and they also had fried chicken... Mmm, fwied cheekan. The interior is nothing impressive but that's what I wanted... No frills but the food must be awesome. There's a bigger dining room on the other side. The kitchen is pretty standard.

Beef Sandwich, Brunswick Stew, Fries. I was kinda excited about the fried chicken and asked if it was bone-in, they said no, it's boneless tenders. What. Da. Fuck. Yo... A hillbilly joint that serves fucking chain resto fried chicken strips? C'mon, chief, you just lost major points there. So, I resorted to getting the chopped up beef Q sando plate since they don't have sliced brisket. All their BBQ is pretty much chopped. This plate was looking pretty sad and the up charge Brunswick stew looked commercialized. The beef was stringy and wet since the bun was soaked through with the juice the meat was sitting in. The fries were limp, barely warm and looked as if this was the last portion because it was full of bits and ends that you would find at the bottom of the pan. On another order, they shouted, be careful the fries are really hot and fresh! Thanks motherdicks, give the slant the old wilted shit, he won't know the difference. Wrong motherfuckers... You fucked with the wrong overweight FOB on this day. The B-stew was average at best, it didn't have that wow factor on the tongue nor smokiness and it also lacked lima beans. But how was the beef Q sando...

They have two sauces, both pretty watery. One was a brown mustard vinegary sauce that was pretty much lackluster. The other was a thicker spicy mustard sauce which I guess was their famous "Seminole Sauce" was the better of the two. Since, the beef was so boring after sitting in it's own watery spunk for who knows how long and how many different batches mixed in, I had to use some flavor on it and the spicy mustard sauce was the best option without watering it down any further. The entire sando was so mushy and gummy that I had enough of it after the first couple of bites. This was no better than the prepackaged BBQ you would get at Publix refrigerated aisle. I don't doubt that the meat was smokey when it was first made but after pulverizing it to bits and holding it in a pan full of watered down drippings, it lost all of it's original characteristics after time. This was one of the worst case specimens of bastardized BBQ I have had in this state. I had high hopes for the BBQ but y'all failed me miserably.  

Pork Sando, Baked Beans, Slaw. If they treated the beef with such irreverence, the pork should not fall far from that same tree. The pork did have more of a hint of smoke than the beef but that doesn't mean it was good. It's pulverized just as much as the beef was but it wasn't sitting in as much of it's own funk. It was still wet but not bun soaking wet. Overall, it was still a sad BBQ pork sando... The quality would be questionable even at a back yard BBQ if you were to serve it to your friends. I would be embarrassed to claim this as my own but for someone who knows nothing about Q would be ok with this. The baked beans tasted like it can straight outta a can and not even doctored up with spices or bacon bits, it's like the shit you ate as a child after school... Well, at least I did because we were poor. The slaw was ok, actually it was the best part of this entire meal.

Both the pork and beef were pretty much lackluster and boring, they would not win any contest but if you were toothless this might be a godsend. I didn't try their ribs but I would imagine it being soaked with HFCS sauce... But the 1/2 chicken plate did look ok. It was sizable and bone-in but totally slathered in this bright red sugary sauce that gravity had no affect on it. Maybe I came at the wrong time, maybe it's the biscuits, biscuit sandos and breakfast items are their claim to fame because it was definitely not their BBQ they're known for. They were nice country folk but there is nothing here worth coming back for... Especially, this far out in the wilderness.
