First up on our BBQ roster is Simply Southern Smokehouse. This local’s favorite serves up fresh, low country style BBQ that keeps guests flocking in for both lunch and dinner. The inside features an open floor plan in a barn-style setting.
Guests are invited to help themselves to the buffet filled with a spread of Southern favorites like fried chicken, chicken bog and plenty of BBQ with several house sauces to choose from. Sides include staples like biscuits, mashed potatoes, fried okra, sweet potato casserole and a variety of veggies – to name a few. Lunch specials like fried pork chops and fried fish are served daily, while the dinner service offers additional items like tender ribs and mac n’ cheese. Be sure to save room for dessert – their Banana Pudding is some of the best in town!

Little Pigs Bar-B-Q is another local secret that offers an “old school” southern dining experience. Serving locals and visitors alike for more than 20 years, the recipes at Little Pigs have been passed down and perfected over time.
Ribs are the way to go at Little Pigs and guests can enjoy a whole or half rack of these coveted, tender chops slathered with your choice of sauce. Other meat offerings include fried chicken, chopped pork BBQ and beef brisket, all of which are available on a plate or as a sandwich.
The sides here are just as tempting and include all the classics like hush puppies, potato salad, mac and cheese, coleslaw and baked beans. The menu also includes scrumptious apple and peach cobbler and truly southern sweet tea. Little Pigs is open Monday – Saturday from 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The newest BBQ joint in town is Inlet Bar-B-Que, located in the former location of Prosser’s BBQ. When Prosser’s closed in 2020, the owner of Schoolhouse Bar-B-Que in Scranton decided to buy the building and open a new restaurant. The owner says he hopes to pick up where Prosser’s left off and continue to provide delicious, quality BBQ to visitors and locals alike.
With a beautiful new exterior, Inlet Bar-B-Que has the same basic layout that Prosser’s once did with an all-you-can-eat buffet, large dining area and mouth-watering BBQ. You might even see some familiar faces when you visit as several former Prosser’s employees now work at Inlet Bar-B-Que.
In addition to the country classics like pulled pork BBQ, chicken bog, fried chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw and lima beans, Inlet Bar-B-Que serves daily specials like pot roast and fried seafood. You will also find seasonal veggies on the line like collards, okra, corn and sweet potatoes. Don’t worry, there are plenty of desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth like banana pudding, Oreo pie and homemade cheesecake. There’s even a brand new soft serve ice cream machine that’s included with every buffet meal.
Pricing ranges from $12.50 – $16.50 depending on the time of day and day of the week and includes your all-you-can-eat meal, a drink, a dessert and tax. Inlet Bar-B-Que is open Wednesday – Saturday from 11:00 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
