Chicken In A Barrel BBQ

I had dinner at Chicken in a Barrel and really enjoyed the experience. Parking was free and easy to find, which was a nice bonus. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the BBQ was solid. We ordered the sampler plate, which was perfect for trying a variety of meats—chicken, pork, and ribs—and everything was flavorful. Their BBQ sauce stood out as especially good. They also had a great selection of beers, and live music was playing during dinner, which added to the atmosphere. Overall, I definitely recommend it.

During a Sunday drive, we came upon the Chicken in a Barrel BBQ in South Shore Lake Tahoe. Being adventurous, we stopped for lunch. It is the standard, menu on the wall, order at the counter get a number and the food will be delivered to your table. The interior was clean and very open. We decided to sit near the TV and watched the NFL game. What was a surprise to me was that there were beer spigots on the wall. I asked about that and was told it is a pour your own. If you order beer, you will have to provide payment and a valid ID. Then you are given a bracelet (a lack of a better term) that activated the spigot. You get the amount of beer you pay for by the ounce. First time I have seen this. We ordered burgers, one with fries and one with onion rings. Both burgers were very good. The

We went here for an early dinner and ordered the following: Chicken and Rib Plate Pulled Pork Plate Total: $57.94 + Tips While we didn’t wait long, we thought that the pulled pork did not so much flavour from the meat itself the same for the rib. The chicken had more flavour than the two but it can be too overpowering. And a good portion for each meal we ordered. Overall, we were okay with the food, service, and atmosphere.

Great tasting food at a reasonable price, especially for Tahoe! Not too long of a wait and I love that you can put as much bbq sauce as you want, and that it's not overly sauced straight out of the kitchen. I loved theboriginak sauce while my brother preferred the spicy.

Super loud music. Luckily I had my new iPod pro’s with noise cancellation. Ahhh… but I’m an old dude. Maybe for the younger crowd it would be ok. Prices are a little on the high side, but portions were generous.
