BigUns Barbecue – Talking Rock, GA (Photo Blog Post)
As I didn’t get around to posting this timely and I can’t remember all the details of the meal, I’m now posting this restaurant as a photo blog.
Pink Pig – Cherry Log, GA (Quick Bite)
For years, Pink Pig Barbecue, in Cherry Log, has been on my list, but we always seem to be trying to get somewhere, on time, when we’re driving that part of 575/515. Today, we had time and I decided it was our day to give it a try. Owned and operated by the Holloway family […]
Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse – Cartersville, GA
About two years back, we had dinner at Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse, at their original incarnation in Euharlee. We were in Cartersville the weekend after the 4th of July and looking for lunch, when I remembered that they had moved. We headed over, late in the lunch hour, and found a fairly empty restaurant. My beloved […]
Ball Ground Burger Bus – Ball Ground, GA
Today’s dining adventure comes courtesy of an “only in your state” blog post shared by my wife, about interesting restaurants. So when we headed out for the day’s adventure in north Georgia, I determined that we would dine at the Ball Ground Burger Bus. We rolled into downtown Ball Ground (almost rolled through – one […]
JD’s Bar-B-Que – Woodstock, GA
As we were roaming around the northwest suburbs, lunch time rolled around and I was (of course) searching the area for a spot. JD’s Bar-B-Que appeared on my phone, and I set our travel plans toward Bells Ferry (they also have an Acworth location). They’ve been open since 1999 and at some time in the past […]
Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse – Euharlee, GA
After a Saturday morning during which I surprised my wife by digging into some yard work, without prior contemplation (or prodding), about six hours into it, I suggested that we drive up to Euharlee to eat barbecue and received an affirmatory nod. Johnny Mitchell’s Smokehouse is, basically, a destination dinner. Not because the food is […]
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 […]
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 […]
