At The Towne Tavern in Averill Park, you'll be greeted with a smile and the smell of barbecue. There's a smoker right out back outside the kitchen so that is what you smell when you pull into their parking lot. Chef Billy uses fruit hardwood to smoke most of their meat low and slow -- all prepared in-house.
