One of the worst barque place we ever ate at. Unfriendly service and over price for what you get. We were very dissatisfied. We will not be back the locals can have it. We got a better barque sandwich from Flash foods in Camilla Georgia.

Brunswick is not good and I have a family recipe that will blow your mind. It has been in my family for 75 years. And it is real Brunswick stew not water down soup. And if yall think real barbeque and thats good. Yall need to try real southern baroque it will blow your mind. Dissatisfied with this place and will not go back. Over price unfriendly and not good.
