Our story

20 plus years ago, Dave Calvert had a vision to bring a local Barbeque restraunt to the high contry. After decades of restraunt service and management his vision became a reality. Carolina Barbeque and Pickin' Pig Parlor were opened. Carolina Barbeque has been a local favorite since! Alongside Dave and wife Jennette, his children, family, and loyal staff have contiunted to bring Avery County North Carolina great food, music, and an atmosphere that locals and torest both love. Next time you're in the high country of Newland in Avery county NC be sure to stop in, visit with us, grab a great meal, and remember once you've ate with us you become apart of the Carolina Barbeque family.

Our Homeade Sauces 

Our homemade sauces include: Sweet Barbeque a southern staple. Our Lexington sauce which is a vinegar based sauce, is a Western  North Carolina favorite. Our Maddog sauce is a Midwestern style sauce, also a nickname of Mr. Maddog himself Owner Dave Calvert. Our homemade Ranch is by  far the best ranch in town.  We also have a Madacious hot sauce that will knock your socks off! Plus other awesome sauces like mad mustard and if you want honey mustard we have that too! But you can't forget the Texas Pete and a Eastern vingar sauce.
