About this business

Fresh Air Bar-B-Que has been a beacon for barbecue lovers ever since it opened in 1929 by Dr. Joel Watkins. It got its cult status after George W. Caston took over in 1945.

I don't eat coleslawfrom anywhere else but I will from fresh air. I love the slaw, the BBQ, the stew and mostly the sauce. But even more than all that, was the compassion and appreciation that was shown from staff to a costumer of yours while I was in your restaurant today. Keep up the good work. Love this place!

I don't know if it is just me, but I prefer my pork with some flavor to it... This was like potted meat with sauce on it... Not very good at all. The chicken had good flavor, but the breast was dry. On the bright side, they had some really good sweet tea.

Good, old-fashioned, neighborhood BBQ joint. Family-style seating inside is only lacking the loaf of white bread on the table!
