Scott’s Walk-Up Barbecue – Cartersville, GA
Today, we took the name of Scott’s Walk-Up Barbecue to heart, as I thought they were located in a different spot than they actually are. I proudly wheeled onto Main Street and parked near the Booth (a wonderful museum, if you haven’t been) and hopped out – then couldn’t find the restaurant. I pulled up […]
Fresh Air Barbecue – Jackson, GA
As I said in an earlier update from the weekend, when I was a kid I remember there being five grand Georgia barbecue joints: Fresh Air Barbecue (near Jackson); Harold’s Barbecue (Atlanta – closed in the summer of 2012); Melear’s BBQ (Fayetteville – closed in early 2011); Sprayberry’s (Newnan) and Vandy’s Bar-B-Q (Stateboro) We had […]
Vandy’s Bar-B-Q – Statesboro, GA
Ever since I was a kid, even before I knew that I loved barbecue, I knew about Vandy’s Bar-B-Q. The famed Atlanta writer Lewis Grizzard perpetually claimed they had the best Brunswick stew in the world, and some of the finest barbecue in the state. This was before there was an internet for all of […]
This Little Piggy Bar B Q – Macon, GA
After stopping at Furniture Liquidators in Forsyth (a great place to find furniture – they buy out hotels that are being renovated and resell those pieces at reasonable prices), we saw the sign for This Little Piggy Bar B Q. They were about to open as we drove by, so after a fruitless visit to […]
Johnny’s – Powder Springs, GA
Johnny’s Steaks and Barbecue has been in Powder Springs longer than we have (twenty eight years, for us), and we haven’t eaten there, ever, that I recall. They went through a period when they weren’t open and then they were open only on weekends. But they now seem to be open most every day, in […]
Wiley’s Championship Barbecue – Savannah, GA
When the Trip Advisor article proclaiming Georgia the new barbecue capital came out earlier this year, there were three places listed in the state that I had never heard of. I made note of all three, and knocked one off the list the last time we were in the north Georgia mountains. I saw that […]
Greater Good Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
It was during our visit to the Greater Good in Tucker a couple of weeks back, that we determined exactly where we would have our 4th of July ribs. You see, ever since the 4th of July rib incident of 2012 (the entire experience is detailed in the footnote to this post), we’ve made plans […]
Greater Good Barbecue – Tucker, GA
The first words when we got back into the car after lunch? “Unlike most barbecue places you take me to, this actually was delicious.” That’s high praise, being sung shortly after high noon. After a morning spent walking up and down Stone Mountain, we were ready for lunch and my eyes had been set […]
Twin Oaks Drive-In – Brunswick, GA
The last time that I was in Brunswick, I mentioned looking for barbecue for dinner to the person that I was meeting with that afternoon. He said that the best barbecue in town was at Twin Oaks, but when I Googled them, they are only open from 6:00 – 3:00, Monday – Saturday. Needless to […]
