Wire Mill Saloon & Barbecue, 12 Old Mill Road, Redding: Here you'll experience a country atmosphere and Southern barbecue food which you can enjoy outside on a very large patio with fire pit and live music at certain times. You can also eat inside.
Pete M. on Google a few days ago posted this, "First of all, the food is amazing. If you want great BBQ then you must go to the Wire Mill. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked. Pulled pork, brisket, ribs, wings, and if you're feeling like you need to really overdo it, try the Fat Jackson. I could only eat half of it... Gino and Robin are wonderful owners and really care about their restaurant and their customers. A must try!"

These guys are so good my brother ended up hiring them to cater to my engagement party and they brought so much food we were eating pulled pork and brisket for days," said a Google post.
