I have been going to Fresh Air for more than 40 years. Live in Savannah now, but will drive 40 miles out of the way for a party pack of two to take home. Gotta have a sandwich or two to protect the barbeque on the way home.

This is the most AMAZING place. I ADORE the pulled pork sandwich, their sweet tea and coleslaw. Their brunswick stew is better that my memaws, and that is saying something. I just wish I lived closer to one.
