ooooh I was gonna say that. When I move back to Charlotte I am eating there at least a couple of times a week. We just had breakfast there when we visited over the 4th of July.

+1 Ani, Sims BBQ, been going for 20+ years.
We go as a huge family unit (grandparents, cousins, etc).
The kids LOVE it.

I'll post some pics if someone needs to see what a Southern hoedown is

Since we moved to Charlotte, DH and I have made several short trips to Blowing Rock & Boone NC for some hiking. We love it.

Grandfather Mountain offers great hiking and beautiful views.
We plan on checking out some of their outdoor outfitters next for a whitewater rafting trip.

If you are in the area, stop by The Woodlands BBQ in Blowing Rock. Good food and fun atmosphere.

Being right down the street from a college town, the obscene pig is probably a big drawing card. He's got that little Mountaineer hat and corncob pipe.

Hee Hee! Woodlands is one of my favorite spots. It's always crowded so be prepared. They do some of the finest BBQ in the region. Been going there for decades.

And the pig is CUTE! Or maybe I am just used to him . . .

Since we are talking Blowing Rock/Boone...

We love the Daniel Boone Inn.
Bring cash, they do not take credit cards!

The only thing that would complete that animation is a female pig underneath with her legs high in the air.

Lucky pig....
