Located in a city which bills itself as the "Barbecue
Capital of the World", famous patrons here include Vice
President Al Gore, musician Charlie Daniels and actor
William Shatner . BBQ mutton is this tradition's claim to
fame. The family-run Moonlite dishes out as much as 20,000
lbs. of BBQ per week. Their Burgoo (stew), sauce and BBQ
meats can be found on grocery shelves throughout the South
and parts of the Midwest. Buffet served twice daily.
Desserts may feature banana pudding and blue-ribbon winning
pies. They have catered for groups as large as 15,000 and
even sponsor their own race car. Highly recommended!
