Bear's Smokehouse BBQ - Asheville, NC

Asheville, NC is a picture perfect mountain area town in western North Carolina.  They have beautiful vistas, great cycling/hiking and great barbecue.


I had lunch at Bears Smokehouse and did a sample of their burnt ends and smoked turkey.  For sides, I had the beans and greens.

The beans were definitely a NC sweet baked beans.  Very good with a thick molasses-like sauce.  The greens were smothers in pulled pork.  These are recommended.

The burnt ends were moist and tender with a good smoke and some bark.  The smoked turkey was very fresh and clean.  The cornbread had a bit of sweetness to it - in the range of a Jiffy cornbread.

Sauces were on point although I imagine some might find they want an option with less spice.

Overall, a very good barbecue experience.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.
