Baldy's BBQ
If Central Oregon has more than one barbeque restaurant, I don't know or care — Baldy's is all I need. From the all-natural pulled pork sandwich to the weekly special slow-smoked prime rib, it is all good. All meats are slow-smoked using a variety of hardwoods and their house-made BBQ sauces are full of sweet and spicy flavors. Deciding which sides to order with the meal is never easy. The au gratin potatoes are very cheesy and the garlic potatoes are mashed with bacon. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. The kids' menu includes a pulled pork sandwich that can easily feed two kids. In the summer their capacity doubles when they open the outside patio. Baldy's may be the reason I don't go back to being a vegetarian.
