"The walls of Gene's BBQ are lined with posters and prints of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Once thought to be extinct, it was spotted nearby in 2004. "

"Gene's is a convenient stop for travelers: near the highway (exit 216) and open from 6am to 10pm. There's vast parking space for trucks and recreational vehicles."
