Buxton Hall BBQ

About

Buxton Hall Barbecue, located in Asheville, North Carolina, was renowned for its traditional whole hog barbecue and Southern sides. The restaurant was situated in a former roller-skating rink, adding a unique touch to its lively atmosphere. It was founded by Elliott Moss, who aimed to bring authentic, wood-smoked, pastured whole hog barbecue to the area. The menu featured a variety of dishes, including pulled pork, pork ribs, and unique items like chicken bog and waffle fries. Buxton Hall gained significant acclaim, being named one of the "Best New Restaurants" by Bon Appétit in 2016. The restaurant's focus on local ingredients and traditional Carolina-style barbecue resonated with visitors. The atmosphere was vibrant, with an open kitchen where guests could witness the smoking process. Despite its success, Buxton Hall closed in November 2023, marking the end of an era for whole hog barbecue in Asheville. However, its legacy continues to influence the barbecue scene, and its impact on the local culinary landscape remains notable.
