Gio's BBQ at the intersection of Route 322 and Route 970 in Woodland, PA, just southeast of Clearfield, is some of the best BBQ in the area. I'm still a Clem's fan, but Gio's wider variety and connection to a convenience store/gas station make this a one stop shop. My usual is the Pittsburgh Platter, that's a large pulled pork with fries. It's not just all you can eat, it's all you should eat. Look for the signs along Interstate 80, Gio's is a couple miles south of Exit 123.
I stopped here on Thursday on my way through. Got the pulled pork sandwich. It had promise: nice big, toasted bun; slaw on the sandwich. Unfortunately...the sauce was mediocre at best and there was zero smoke flavor to the pork. Which begs the question: how do you make real BBQ without a hint of smokey flavor in the meat? No. Zip. Quite a feat.
ReplyDeleteWas a great pulled pork sandwich. The only thing missing on the menu was a sampler platter. Tim
