After a hike at Ninham Mountain and a quick visit to Chang Yuen Buddhist Monastery in Kent, NY my friend and I decided to grab some lunch at Holy Smoke, a Southern style BBQ restaurant in Mahopac, NY. Not far off from where we were.
The location along Route 6N appears to be an old converted house/farm house. Big red building, can't miss it from the road. The inside matched the exterior, a rustic kind of feel, nothing fancy by any stretch.
Then came the food... we started off with some deep fried pickles, they came with a zesty ranch dressing. Did not disappoint! Next we decided on some Pulled Pork Sandwiches. The meat was smoked to perfection and the buns were great. My only gripe was there was not much, if any sauce on the sandwich. I proceeded to saturate my sandwich with their house made BBQ sauce. That did the trick.
Washed it all down with a nice glass of Brooklyn Brewery "The Concoction" - excellent beer. Oh, did I mention they have a huge 3 page craft beer list as well as one full page of Bourbon varieties? Incredible selection.
All in all, this place is a must if you are a fan of Southern BBQ. As a member of the team "Generation Swine" who hold the title for 2011 at the Westport Blues and BBQ festival, I know a thing or two about good BBQ!
My Rating: 4 out of 5
