Dragon Ass Smoked BBQ

Dragon Ass Smoked BBQ is a celebrated traveling barbecue operation based in the heart of the Appalachian mountains in Andrews, North Carolina. Established in 2022 by the dynamic duo AnneMarie and Gary, this mobile smokehouse has quickly become a destination for authentic Texas-style barbecue in the western North Carolina and northeastern Georgia regions. Operating primarily from Cherokee County Cycles at 14660 US-19, the Dragon Ass crew can be found at various locations throughout the week including local hospitals, community events, and popular spots like Spud's Shack in Murphy. The menu features the holy trinity of barbecue: perfectly smoked brisket with a deep bark crust, fall-off-the-bone tender ribs, and classic pulled pork shoulder, alongside smoked chicken that retains incredible juiciness. AnneMarie's four decades in the food service industry and professional mixology background ensure every dish is crafted with precision, while Gary's three decades of BBQ experimentation and catering experience translate into smokers that produce authentic, low-and-slow perfection. The business also offers full catering services for weddings, private parties, and corporate events throughout the mountain region.
