Y’all have been telling me for YEARS that I needed to try Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, NC… well, I finally listened! 😂

On our latest trip to Western NC, we stopped in to see what all the fuss was about. I went with the dry-rubbed ribs, and I’ll just say this — now I understand why so many people recommended this place.

I shared what we ordered, what I loved, what I’d skip next time, prices, parking, and whether I think Haywood Smokehouse is worth a stop.

This is a pretty cool place to visit. We took the kids here when they were really young.

Last week I posted about a restaurant on Scenic Hwy 11 in Chesnee, SC called Strawberry Hill Cafe, that got me to thinking about another restaurant we visited just down the road way back in 2017 called The Junction in Landrum, SC.
