Cashiers Valley Smokehouse
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2020/05 - May
Summer’s coming and there’s some good news to look forward to. Here on the Plateau there’s a new game in town, Cashiers Valley Smokehouse, owned and operated by hospitality specialists and restaurateurs, Brien Peterkin Jr. and Jon Caddell. Many will recognize them as the current owners of popular Slab Town Pizza, so they are not new to the restaurant business nor the area.
Their roots in the restaurant community go back even further as the Peterkin Family were the original owners of the highly successful Cornucopia Restaurant for 38 years. Brien and Jon know a thing or two about good food and a welcoming atmosphere, and they’re excited that they can expand their reach to barbecue.
When the location at 281 US 64 West that had previously housed a barbecue restaurant came available, Brien and Jon saw a great opportunity to breathe new life into the location and began extensive refreshing and renovating. They envisioned an inviting atmosphere where folks of all ages can enjoy traditional fare and have good times with friends and neighbors.
Cashiers Valley Smokehouse is the perfect casual spot to kick back and enjoy a great meal of honest to goodness slow smoked barbecue with homemade sauces for every taste. Their home cooked sides will make you reminisce of Sunday supper tables laden with vegetables, homemade potato salad, slaw and beans. By all means save room for dessert, Brien’s wife Sarah Ann, a classically trained pastry chef and owner of the new Valley Bakery, will be providing the perfect punctuation to the meal.
Plans are to be open seven days a week seasonally for lunch, dinner and takeout. Weekends promise to be an especially fun time as they will often have live bluegrass music. Relax with good food, music and laughter, what better way to spend a summer evening?
