Lyle's advertises friendly staff, family atmosphere and amazing food.  The hickory smoke their pork (12+ hrs) and brisket (12+ hrs) and cheery smoke their chicken (1 1/2 hrs), baby back ribs  (6 hrs) and sausage (1 hr).

They offer the starters of...

Three Amigos (fried pickles, fried banana peppers, and fried jalapenos)
Pig Wings (deep fried baby back ribs)
BBQ Nachos (pulled pork, topped w. cowboy beans, cheese sauce, shredded cheese & sour cream...brisket is an adder)
Loaded Tater Tots (fried, seasoned & loaded with sour cream, bacon & cheddar).

and more.

For the mains...

There are sandwiches or platters of pulled pork, beef brisket (flat or point), smoked chicken, baby back ribs or smoked chicken.


I had the ribs and brisket combo with baked beans, smoked mac and cheese and a side of hush puppies.  

The ribs were baby backs and not spare ribs so that's one point off there. However they were tasty but a little dry (likely due to the late hour of my dinner).  The brisket was very good and moist.  Not a heavy smoke ring and that played out in the lack of smokey flavor but didn't deter from the enjoyment of the meat.  The beans were typical for a baked bean (not my preference) but the smoked mac and cheese was good.

The Granny Smith Apple Slaw had a nice taste as did the pickles.  The hush puppies were spot on delicious.

Overall I had an enjoyable meal...just not top notch with the ribs being dry.
