A pile of hickory wood near the smoke pit and a packed parking lot are two signals that Apple City BBQ in Taylorsville is the place to stop.

Adam Dula, who owns the establishment with his wife Haley and parents Myron and Robin Dula, says their business model is simple: “Do one thing and do it right. In our case, that one thing is barbecue,” Adam says. His brother David is the pitmaster and has joined Adam in perfecting a high quality, craft product that has folks raving.

Authentic, certified, wood-smoked BBQ! Brisket so tender you can eat with a spoon. Chicken is so moist, which is HARD to do. Sauces are delicious! Pulled pork so tasty it doesn’t even need sauce. Homemade pimento cheese brisket egg rolls are to DIE FOR!!! Best BBQ place I’ve ever eaten at.
