Smokin' Joe's Davis Oklahoma

I first discovered Smokin' Joe's back in 2007 while I was living in Oklahoma. 11 years ago the internet and search engines weren't what the arr today but you could still find restaurant reviews online quite a bit. I was living in the area and I wanted to find some good food in the area. I searched Google and came across a travel blog mentioning Smokin' Joe's
The guy raved about the place so I had to check it out.

Hard to find

Talk about a hole in the wall. I little drove past this place every day and had no idea what it was. Back then I believe they were only open Fridays and Saturdays, possibly Thursdays. But the rest of the week it was empty but on the weekends it had cars and trucks lining the streets with people. 

Love at first bite

When you walked in or even pulled up to the drive-thru window all you smelled was the aroma of smoked meat. I ordered the 3 meat meal because I wanted to try everything on the menu. The first bite into the brisket was like heaven. The pulled pork and chicken were just as incredible.

Portion size

The portions were crazy! There was enough in the 3 meat platter for 2-3 people. The sides are large and the okra is perfect. It is really hard to get good fried okra outside of Oklahoma. 

Peanut Shop In Port Clinton Pennsylvania

The Peanut Shop is located on Route 61 in Port Clinton, Pennsylvania, just north of Hamburg. Port Clinton was a stop on the Schuylkill Canal. Today it is just a tiny and quiet town. This little gem is a must-see tourist stop. Located just north of Cabelas in Hamburg, the Peanut Shop has been a local treasure for decades. The shop is located inside of a 19th-century tavern on the very busy Rt 61.

Candies from the Past

They have hundreds if not thousands of sweets in their shop and many that I have not seen since my childhood. They have varieties that were popular in the '50s and 60's up to today's favorites. This is the candy shop for those of us that are nostalgic. The candies brought back a lot of childhood memories for me.

If you are traveling through Hamburg or stopping in to see Cabelas take the few minutes to go to the Peanut Shop, you will be glad you did.
