The first and last time I was there the lady behind the counter told me that the only thing they sold was pulled pork and brunswick stew, and it wasn't even that good. Maybe I went there at the wrong time idk.

I try to eat here when I am in the Atlanta area. Introduced to Fresh Air by my father in the 1950s on a trip to Indian Springs. Been going back since then.

Bbq not as good as it once was. Brunswick stew was room temp. They charged extra for plates, fork , etc with party pack (referred to as a “setup”). Restaurant dining should at least include plates. Lol.
