Joe’s BBQ – Blue Ridge, GA
About two weeks back, TripAdvisor set the barbecue world on its collective ear, by declaring Georgia the barbecue “Capitol”, with three Georgia spots in their top 10, in this list. Friends from around the country (particularly Texans) immediately took umbrage and started questioning the quality of the rankings. Sadly, I had personally been to none […]
Malson’s Original World Famous Bar-B-Q – Kingsland, GA
Heading south from Brunswick back to the Jacksonville airport down I-95, we were looking for a spot for dinner. I’d originally Googled and found a place called Willi Jewels Old School Barbecue in Kingsland, and we were heading in that direction. As we headed east on State 40 my co-pilot said, “there’s a barbecue place […]
Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q – Atlanta, GA
Heading downtown to a show at the Fox, we were planning on an early dinner and I wasn’t sure where to go. In the process of deciding, I realized that I’d never written about Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. Decision made. I’m sure most that will read this know the story of the Fox brothers, but just […]
Iron Horse Station – Villa Rica, GA
Sitting on the couch, indecisive about dinner, I threw out two choices, each of which were received with equal indifference. So we headed west, originally considering a visit to J&W BBQ, but not wanting to fight the construction traffic on I-20. We ended up, instead, at Iron Horse Station, in a building we had eaten […]
Praise the Lard BBQ – Buford, GA
Several weeks ago, my daughter told me about a new place they had gone to eat over the weekend, Praise the Lard BBQ. I’ll have to admit, I was committed to going once I heard the name. Sharing space in a short strip mall with Journey Church, PTL looks much smaller from the outside than […]
Sweet Auburn Barbecue – Atlanta, GA
About two weeks back, our brother-in-law (Lawyer Boy), mentioned that he was doing some real estate work for a new barbecue place that was about to open. Then one day last week, he sent me a text asking if we’d like to join them at the “soft” opening tonight. New barbecue place? Heck yeah. So […]
Pit Boss BBQ – Hapeville, GA
When I pulled into the parking lot of Pit Boss BBQ, and I mentioned to my beloved that her sister and her family liked to eat there, her exact words were, “but I bet they don’t dine in.” After a morning spent cutting up the tree that was felled during the recent windstorms, we had […]
Mustard Seed BBQ – Atlanta, GA
When I finished a meeting shortly after 11:00 am downtown, I thought this would be a great opportunity to grab lunch in an area I don’t usually frequent at midday. While discussing lunch spots with the folks I was meeting with, they mentioned Chantrelle’s, over in the West End. I had never been there, nor […]
The Rodney Scott in Exile Tour, at Gunshow – Atlanta, GA
After the smokehouse at Scott’s Bar-b-que in Hemingway, SC, burned down last November, members of the Fatback Collective brought some of its members together to put on the “Rodney Scott in Exile Tour”, bringing Rodney Scott and his whole hog barbecue to towns around the South. The Atlanta stop was on Monday, at Gunshow, where […]
Burnt Fork BBQ – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. I had eaten at Burnt Fork BBQ previously, a couple of years ago with some friends, but never got around to posting a review. Tonight, when heading towards Decatur (originally with another destination in mind, but being delayed by traffic) I realized where I was and ran in to grab some […]
