Though it has been a traveler's haunt since its inception, its fame is spread far and wide for people to travel the long distance just to relish their smoked deliciousness.

Always a treat when we're down that way. The meat is chopped and is smokey sweet. The sauce is tangy vinegar based style. Get the deluxe plate which comes with homemade sweet slaw and a pickle spear.

It wasn't our favorite and not as good as everyone told us. We weren't big fans of the sauce... we were disappointed

It's THE WORST BBQ EVER. The sauce is per vinegar. The brunswick stew has no taste. The customer service is awful. This is the Jackson location. There's a another location in Macon that has a bigger menu, but if it taste like Jackson they both need to shut down.

This is the best BBQ in the world. I have been eating here since before I had teeth, which has been more than half a century now, my father ate here as a child and he was born in 1928. I would travel a million miles for a plate from Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson.
