Countryside Bar-BQ
Location
If you’re willing to weave around a few winding roads, there is a good payoff. Tasty salads and sandwiches — including a good barbecue sandwich for less than $4, which is a local favorite. There are also meat-and-vegetable plates priced for less than $8. On Friday and Saturday mornings, you will find a crowd starting the day with a breakfast special of a country ham biscuit and baked cinnamon apples. New owner Rob Noyes, who acquired the restaurant from longtime owners Gary and Lanetta Byrd, brings years of experience in the restaurant business to Countryside.
