A legendary Sullivan/Washington County barbecue institution operating since 1948, beloved for its slow-smoked pork barbecue sandwiches, homestyle beans, and hand-cut slaw served in a rustic roadside setting that has changed little in decades. The Ridgewood is a James Beard American Classic Award recipient and a pilgrimage destination for barbecue enthusiasts across the country. Seating is casual and cash-friendly. Arrive early on weekends — the line forms before opening.
