We recently "discovered" Carolina Brothers during a bike ride along the WO&D trail. Plenty of clientele arrived on four wheels rather than two, but Carolina Brothers is extremely bike friendly. We were starving after a long bike ride and the heavenly smoky smell (all of the bbq is smoked in smokers behind the restaurant) greeted us 1/2 mile before we arrived at the restaurant.
I highly recommend the baby back ribs. They were quite lean and I thought the slightly sweet tomato based bbq sauce nicely balanced the smokiness of the meat. The coleslaw was great--tangy but not too creamy--and the beans are good but certainly not the best I ever had (even after a 44 mile bike ride). If you like beans, go to Jammin Joes off of Route 29 in New Baltimore, Virginia.
