Come Get Smoked at Haywood

Haywood Smokehouse Franklin brings the same slow-smoked, hickory-fired barbecue that made Waynesville and Dillsboro favorites, with a few Franklin originals you won't find anywhere else. Locally owned and operated by the Hunt family, Franklin serves the full Haywood lineup alongside house specialties like our Cuban sandwiches, the loaded smoked potato, and a smoked flank steak sandwich cut from whole sirloins smoked right here. Wings hit the smoker Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Full bar, family tables, and the same rule we live by everywhere: real hickory, low and slow, no shortcuts. Come hungry.
