Hamilton's been there 41 years and serve great BBQ Chicken along with BBQ Pork Shoulder or Pulled Pork. Order and pay at the counter, eat in the attached dining room or on the front porch. Styrofoam boxes, plastic utensils, and bottled soda. Wonderful people and our chicken was cooked just right .. fall off the bone yummy!

So good. You can see the meat cooking it all looks amazing. I had tenderloin it was perfect. The potato salad was really good I’ve never had this style (it’s like halfway to mashed potatoes) and I thought the beans would just be canned or something when I saw them but when I tasted them it was a flavor explosion, they were easily no contest the best baked beans I’ve ever had in my life.
