My favorite I don't consider myself to be a barbeque connoisseur, but Camp Curtin Bar-B-Que Station is the place that got me excited about barbeque. Since my first visit there, I have tried other barbeque houses in various locations up and down the Eastern USA and I must say, CCBS is still my favorite.
Some might call this a barbeque "joint." It's in an old converted fire house - even has a fireman's pole which comes into the center of one of the tables in the corner of the dining area. This isn't one of those sterile looking chain restaurants. It has a rather rustic feel to it, almost like a diner. The staff is friendly, service fast and the surroundings are really "down to earth."
I have been to CCBS many times with family and friends and never felt rushed. As a matter of fact, I have never had to wait to be seated as I have never seen the place crowded (certainly not a reflection on the food or service based on my experiences there).
Everyone I have taken to CCBS has really enjoyed the food. Sometimes they run out of items, but with a very extensive menu of barbeque items there is always something else that will satisfy the pallet. My favorite side dish is the greens; the best I have eaten at any restaurant.
My only complaint (doesn't there have to be one?), is the tables don't always feel clean. They do wash them, but there has been a somewhat sticky residue on them each time I have visited. Even so, I continue to recommend the Camp Curtin Barbeque Station to everyone. [11 Feb 2005 09:05:59]

Best BBQ I've had I have to say that though I've only been here two (2) times, I LOVE this place. Their food is the best bbq I've had. The first time I had the chicken dinner and they slather the sauce on and the sides I got were the baked beans and the cole slaw, and this last time I had the chicken bbq sandwich with the same sides. I really like the combination mix of their mild and hot sauces. It gives it a kick but it's still managable if you can't handle really hot sauces. [09 Sep 2005 14:36:34]
