Buxton Hall BBQ is well-known in the foodie community.


It has been named a "Best BBQ in the South in 2019" by Southern Living.



"Come to Pitmaster Elliott Moss’ Asheville Valhalla for the Carolina-style, whole-hog barbecue and stay for James Beard Award-nominated pastry Chef Ashley Capps’ rotating selection of pies."


So, not only is the BBQ unbelievable, the desserts are to-die-for.


The BBQ here has a few different sauces: East Carolina Vinegar, Red Sauce. XX Vinegar and XX Red.


I've not had a lot of great experiences with vinegar bbq sauce, but this perfectly accented the pulled pork.


It wasn't overpowering and just added some nice flavor. Very good.


And, I had to try all of them, of course.



I was excited they even had a white bbq sauce - which I would eat every day if I could!


The sides here are also not to be missed. The mac & cheese was so creamy, that cornbread was a delight, and potato salad added some tang.


For dessert - the best banana cream pie I've ever had. Nilla wafers, bananas ... just, wow. Maybe the best dessert I've ever had.
