BBQ Fest Best Deals

Follow my thread on here, I also list all the full size prices, and what's full size and what's smaller.

Here's my opinions so far. 

You get 5 items for 35 dollars. That makes each choice cost you 7 dollars. Not a additional 7 dollars, but 35 divided by 5 equals 7.

Now not everything is full size serving on the Tasting Passport. But, many are.

For Blue Grass and BBQ Fest right now the best deals are.

1. Traveler's Stop - Brisket Grilled Cheese - Full size - The price you would pay without a Passport 15.99 l!!! Paying even less than 1/2 price when you use your Passport. And yes you are getting a full size Sandwich!

2. Crossroads Pizza 

BBQ Chicken Pizza. It's been close to full size. Regular Price is 12.99. It's been getting amazing reviews for Taste. A excellent deal for your money on the Passport and for your tastebuds!

3. Lumbercamp Falls Skillet -

BBQ Chicken Baked Potato 

Full size! Regular Price is 12.99

So almost 1/2 Price using your Passport. And it is full size.

4. Tater Twist 

BBQ Tater Dog 

Full size

Regular Price 11.99 

Almost half price with your Passport. And this baby is huge!

5. Wagon Works 

Mac and cheese Cones. I still am not 100 percent sure of the prices, but I do know they are absolutely full size, and a bargain on the Tasting Passport.

Honorable Mentions are

1. Smokehouse Shack

Crazy Corn 

Full size, regular Price is 8.99.

It's not the largest savings but it still is a savings, you save 2 dollars getting it with the Tasting Pass. And it's full size, and comes in several flavor choices. And absolutely every single person has said they are delicious. 

2. Kettle Corn 

Regularly 9.99, so like the corn not a huge discount, you are saving 3 dollars. If you pay regular price. However, if you have a refill bucket with lifetime 2 dollar refills. Then not a good deal. But, I'm still putting this towards the top of my honorable mentions, because 1. Not many people have the refill bucket. 2. If you don't have the refill bucket you are for sure saving 3 dollars. 3. It's huge, so if you are there trying to split a Tasting Passport with more than one person, this is for sure a snack that can be shared by a large family and everyone have plenty. 4. If you are there alone trying to use a entire Tasting Passport in one day, this is a good take home item. You don't have to eat it at the park. It stays fresh for at least a week without getting stale if you store it nicely. 

3. Taste of the City

BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese 

You only get 1/2 a serving, and full serving price is 9.99. So while not the best deal money wise on the Tasting Passport. It has been getting excellent reviews for Taste.

4. Rivertown Smokehouse

While you only get the Sandwiches and not the 2 sides that regular price ones come with. The regular prices of the Sandwiches are 15.99 and 16.29. It's a really good deal on the Passport if you do not want sides. But, if you do want sides, sides are pretty expensive to buy al a cart, so better to buy without using the Passport, if sides are important to you.

5. Either of the Funnel Cakes. The full size ones have went up to 12.99 full price. With a Tasting Passport you really only get 1/3 of a regular size one, so you do lose a little money getting it with a Tasting Passport. But, it may be worth it if you really don't want a huge one, or you just want to try it because you aren't sure you would like it. 7 dollars vs 13 dollars is a significant difference if you aren't sure you would like it.

The absolute worst deal for your money is Eva and Delilah's Bakery the Lemon Blueberry Cookies. While you do get 3 whole cookies, and they are getting excellent reviews for taste. Regular full price without using a Tasting Passport is 2.99. So you will be paying more than double by using a choice on your Tasting Passport for them. While I don't think you should completely skip them, I wouldn't use your Passport for them. Just buy them for 2.99 without using the Passport.

Busy Days!

Here's my advice - go early! The turnstiles open at 8:30 every day, no matter when opening is scheduled.  Be in the Parking lot by 8:15....
