S’more BBQ – Douglasville, GA
On the site of a former Smokey Bones, S’more BBQ opened some time last year over by Arbor Place Mall. We had driven by there several times but never had the occasion to stop. Today, when we had no other place to be and needed to grab a quick bite, we pulled in. If I […]
Dinner’s Ready – Douglasville, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For my birthday, my parents wanted to take us out for lunch. Looking for something convenient, and knowing their fondness for the place, we met at Dinner’s Ready. We’ve eaten there in the past, once or twice. It’s been okay. In my opinion, there is a considerable issue with the management. […]
Mr. D’s Hickory Smoked Barbeque With Soul – Austell, GA
Mr. D’s Hickory Smoked Barbecue With Soul was not my original dinner destination. I was originally headed to the Sweetwater Inn, a place that I had driven by for the past thirty-two years and yet had never stopped. I was determined to not let another birthday pass without knocking this one off my list. The […]
Ann’s Snack Bar (re-visited) – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. It’s been almost three years since our series of visits to Ann’s Snack Bar. We went. Then we took our girls. Then we took my parents (that was a hoot). As we prepared for a weekend-long birthday celebration, Jo asked what I wanted to do this weekend – a long-delayed revisit […]
Burke’s Grill – Douglasville, GA
As we get ready to kick off a food weekend, for Friday night dinner we were looking for someplace that met three key criteria: 1) new / different; 2) local (we would be in the city on Saturday and Sunday); and 3) good. One of the issues with where we are in the ‘burbs is […]
Stella’s Hamburgers – Bellevue, NE
As I was heading back home on a business trip out of Omaha, I realized that I had just enough time before I had to be at the airport to make one burger stop. I had checked Hamburger America and all of my lists on Sunday night and the only place that was a possibility […]
Happy Hawg Barbecue – Hiram, GA
If you’re one of my three regular readers, you may think that the building above looks familiar – you’d be correct (check out this entry). As we drove by a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the name had changed. Again. I had eaten there in at least three previous iterations, but when I […]
B J’s Original Bar-B-Que “Hog Wild” – Jesup, GA
What an appropriate question! After an afternoon meeting in Jesup, I was heading back towards Savannah when I passed the barbecue place that I hadn’t seen until AFTER lunch. Since it had been almost three hours since I’d last eaten, I thought it would likely be okay to stop for a snack. When I walked […]
Dairy Ranch – Jesup, GA
Driving toward Jesup I was, as always, searching for just the right place for lunch. Google-ing on the way down for South Georgia barbecue restaurants, I ran across a blog post about the Rusty Pig in Glennville, which looked like it might be a good choice. We could actually re-route and drive through Glennville and […]
king + duke – Atlanta, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. For the last several month, all of the buzz on the restaurant blogs has been about the opening of Ford Fry’s newest venture, king + duke. When our daughter mentioned it (after reading about it on line) as a potential destination for her birthday dinner, I did not hesitate to make […]
