We stopped here on a Saturday afternoon in early June for a quick lunch while traveling. I was looking for something in the area that I didn’t think would take a lot of time but would still be good and I saw this on the map at the Blue Ridge Travel Plaza.
I was expecting a travel plaza like you see on the turnpike but this was not quite that but they had a bbq stand. You do have to go inside the travel plaza to get to the bbq joint so when you pull in to the parking lot don’t think it closed down. It’s in there.
We ordered at the counter and didn’t wait very long for the food to be ready. I believe the young man who took the order also prepared the food. He was friendly.
The food was better than I was expecting and the portion sizers were generous. I’ll it’s that the baked beans have big beans in them- maybe lima beans. The prices were good. We sat inside but there were a couple outdoor picnic tables under a covered patio area. There is a sign on the tables that say if you give a good review and show them you will get complimentary fries. I am doing the review late and don’t anticipate on returning anytime soon but just pointing it out if you decide to stop and want free fries.
The travel stop sells alcohol so if you choose to, and you’re over 21, you can have a beer with your bbq. They also have your standard convenience store coolers...

Combo Platter: Brisket, pork, chicken. Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans. Side is sweet BBQ.
Tha meats: All 3 very tender, juicy, done right. The pork was my fav at the start, but chicken seems to tie it up at the end, 5/5. Brisket was very good as well, but the other two were a lil better this day, 4.5/5.
Mac and cheese: cheesy, creamy, and thick like a honky tonk badonka-donk. Put it in a Mac and cheese fest competition. Put it right up near your favorite auntie's Mac n cheese, just don't tell her about it. 4.99/5.
Baked beans: Litty tangy, little sweet. Not my all time favorite BB, but that's a personal preference. Has onions, bacon pieces, big Lima beans too. I didn't use the BBQ sauce so it probably offsets that sweetness pretty well. 4/5.
Inside and outside seating. The Blue Ridge convenient store has alcohol for sale.
Put it altogether with a great price and it is definitely worth the...
