Horneys Barbeque — Restaurant in Ohio

Friday decided to drive out to Washington Courthouse to check out Horney’s Barbeque. Arrived at opening and met the owner Steve and Dude his dog.

My one and only very, very slight disappointment is that I prefer more smoke, but I also understand most people don't care for that much smoke, so I'm overlooking this as they are probably pleasing the mass. Super tender, not overseasoned or salty. I'm looking forward to trying everything...
