Barbecue Recommendations in Boone/Blowing Rock Area

[wilson]

I've been to The Woodlands in Blowing Rock and it's usually pretty good. Any other suggestions in that area? Somebody mentioned Bandana's in Boone, but I haven't tried it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Woodlands is gonna be as good as it gets in the immediate area. But if you aren't afraid of a short drive, Hannah's in Lenoir is pretty awesome and I recall Spear's in Linville Falls as being pretty good. (full disclosure: I'm a former Spear's employee from back in my college days.)
