I didn\u2019t mean to linger at Boss Hog BBQ<\/a> in Sherrills Ford on Tuesday. The plan, in my mind, was simple: Eat, report back, leave. But the parking lot suggested a different story \u2014 one that had been unfolding there for more than three decades.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, which opened for business in 1989, recently announced it will close on the Fourth of July, CharlotteFive reported<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as the 7.65-acre tract the eatery sits on is under contract, a spokesperson for Ascent Real Estate Partners, the Charlotte-based firm behind the listing<\/u><\/a>, confirmed to CharlotteFive. The sale price for the property was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you have been valued customers over the years that we\u2019ve served you, you feel more like family, and we cannot leave here knowing we haven\u2019t said our goodbyes,\u201d the owners wrote in a farewell Facebook post to patrons. \u201cWe wanted to give you notice and make the transition as smooth as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

I saw that Facebook post Saturday night while I was mindlessly scrolling. It was shared to a local Facebook group I\u2019m in full of people who live in Denver, just south of Sherrills Ford.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Boss Hog BBQ. Please say it\u2019s not true,\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest barbeque on the lake! You will be missed,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas it really the best?\u201d I asked myself.<\/p>\n

I grew up in Denver, and though I\u2019d never been to the restaurant, I\u2019d had Boss Hog \u2018cue before.<\/p>\n

The most recent time I remembered was after one of my rec league basketball games at East Lincoln Community Center. I averaged six points a game in a league where defense was optional, and I was proud of that.<\/p>\n

The mom of one of my teammates brought us barbecue sandwiches from Boss Hog after a game. It was good, but was it the best?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit, Boss Hog never seemed like a place I\u2019d end up. From the outside, it looked like the kind of hole-in-the-wall barbecue joint tucked away in a rural part of the county, and Sherrills Ford, like Denver, has long been a predominantly white community. I carried a few assumptions with me before I walked through the door.<\/p>\n

And the restaurant\u2019s name sounds similar to Boss Hogg from \u201cThe Dukes of Hazzard.\u201d<\/a> I wasn\u2019t familiar with the TV show, but after looking it up, I learned it has faced criticism in recent years over its use of the Confederate flag<\/a>. Whether the restaurant\u2019s name was meant as a reference or not, I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect.<\/p>\n

The line inside Boss Hog on Tuesday stretched from the ordering counter to the entrance, which isn\u2019t saying much since, according to Catawba County property records, the entire building is about 1,200 square feet. But it was packed.<\/p>\n

Customers waited patiently to get their fill, possibly for the last time.<\/p>\n

It took me about half an hour to get through the line, and another 15 minutes to get my food. That time went by fast, though, since I had company during the wait.<\/p>\n

The restaurant only had about six tables inside, and I managed to find an empty one after I ordered. Not long after, a man in his mid-50s who was also waiting for his food got my attention and asked if I was leaving soon. I told him I wasn\u2019t, and he took that as an invitation to sit down. I didn\u2019t mind at all.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get the man\u2019s name, but I quickly found out he was also from Denver. He graduated from the same high school I did, East Lincoln, and even knew a few of my relatives, including my cousin, Johnson \u201cJeep\u201d Hunter, a former Mustang football standout.<\/p>\n

He told me he later got a job in law enforcement and eventually served as the school resource officer at East Lincoln High for a number of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably left right before you got there,\u201d he said about the resource officer job. It was probably a good thing he didn\u2019t already know who I was.<\/p>\n

The subject then shifted to football. He mentioned Bandys, a high school in Catawba County many would consider to be one of East Lincoln\u2019s rivals. (It\u2019s pretty lopsided, though \u2014 East Lincoln has collected three state championships since 2012,<\/a> while Bandys is still in search of its first title.)<\/p>\n

Then a customer at the next table jumped in, revealing that two Bandys players signed to play football at Lenoir-Rhyne University, where my dad played basketball in college.<\/p>\n

We bonded over that for a few minutes, and I thought back to the Facebook post.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou feel more like family\u201d was starting to ring true.<\/p>\n

But when the conversation turned to growth, so did the tone.<\/p>\n

If you ask any lifelong Denver resident over a certain age, they\u2019ll probably reminisce about how the intersection of N.C. 73 and N.C. 16 Business \u2014 now among the busiest junctions in Lincoln County \u2014 used to be \u201cjust trees.\u201d The man who sat at my table was no exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was only a caution light there,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Though future plans for the property have not been confirmed, some locals see the loss of Boss Hog as another casualty of expansion.<\/p>\n

In the immediate area around Boss Hog, thousands homes have been approved in the last decade, most notably at Village at Sherrills Ford<\/u><\/a>, a mixed-use development a third of a mile away anchored by Publix that will eventually include 6,000 residential lots.<\/p>\n

In Denver, hundreds of new homes<\/u><\/a> have been approved in recent years, adding to the congestion along major thoroughfares in the area, including N.C. 16 Business and N.C. 150.<\/p>\n

As Denver continues to grow, resident Jack Carter worries the community is losing some of the places that gave it its identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re growing at such a rapid pace, I feel like we\u2019re losing a lot of what helped make this a community,\u201d Denver resident Jack Carter, who lives near the intersection of the two highways, told CharlotteFive.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always told myself I\u2019m calm under pressure, but that\u2019s never been true. So, when the cashier at the counter told me the restaurant was out of mac n\u2019 cheese, I panicked and ordered potato wedges.<\/p>\n

Which would have been fine, but the barbecue tray I ordered came with two sides, and the first one I ordered was french fries. I got double potatoes.<\/p>\n

The first thing I noticed about the barbecue was that it didn\u2019t have any sauce, but each table had an assortment of sauces available, including \u201chog sauce.\u201d The ingredients in it weren\u2019t listed, but it sounded appetizing.<\/p>\n

I scarfed that food down. So much so that I could hear the echo of my mom\u2019s voice scolding me, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s not going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was itching to know what made Boss Hog special, so I asked around. Like Carter, Denver resident Daniel Norris is a frequent customer at Boss Hog.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the food here, and it\u2019s close by,\u201d Norris said. \u201cWe come here a couple times a week, every week. It\u2019s terrible that it\u2019s going away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others were more optimistic, like Shawn Abernathy, who I caught after he picked up his to-go order from the restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been coming here for a couple of years now,\u201d Abernathy said. \u201cThey just have great food, great people and great service. It\u2019s kind of hard to hear the news that\u2019s going on, but the corn dogs are what you gotta get.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the restaurant is closing, the owners of Boss Hog haven\u2019t smoked their last rack. They still plan to run their food truck \u2014 The Boss\u2019s Backyard Wagon<\/a> \u2014 which is scheduled to appear in Maiden on July 10th for the town\u2019s Jive After Five<\/a> concert series, according to a recent Facebook post.<\/p>\n

Still, for many, it\u2019s the loss of the familiar place itself that lingers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to miss having a local spot here that everyone knows that was family-owned,\u201d Carter said. \u201cFamilies have come through here and eat, and it\u2019s been a part of the community for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in a way, sitting there between strangers-turned-tablemates, swapping stories over barbecue trays and shared geography, it already felt like what the owners said it was: family \u2014 just for an afternoon, passing through before the smoke clears.<\/p>\n
