Open for Breakfast! The bast chopped BBQ sandwich and Brunswick Stew!!! We were so impressed with the taste and flavors! It's everything you could want in a barbecue restaurant. The service is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the ambiance and history of the place is one of a kind! We'll be back for sure!

Georgia's best BBQ is over rated. I had the pork plate with Cole slaw and stew. The pork didn't have any smoke flavor and portion size was very small for price. The stew was awful. I will give them this they had some killer Cole slaw. Probably want be coming back.
