If I could give a 6 I would. I was a certified bbq judge for over 20 years. My rule is if I get out of the car, and don't smell smoke at a bbq place get back in your car. Test one passed gloriously
It's great when an owner allows the staff to be so helpful. Macey our server was amazing. When she brought our food she brought us some of the battered fries just to try. I hate the battered fries most places serve but these looked different. One bite and I knew. These weren't out of a bag these were home made. The creaminess and taste of potato shines thru. I thanked macey because my favorite thing my mother made growing up was homemade French fries and these are the closest I've had to those in decades. Not a bad start right Pot roast sounds good. even better when we heard it's made with the other white meat. A pork pot roast. Never had that and must have that. Tender and tasty chunks of pork with veg over rice with amazing gravy. If that wasn't enough it comes with 2 sides and cornbread. The cornbread was super cake-like with the appearance of pound cake. Mac n cheese was of the tender very cheesey not baked type. My chopped pork had a nice smoke flavor not overwhelming. When you been making pork bbq over 80 you know what you're doing. Super tender and tasty and well suited to the 3 sauces. My choice was hot. A nice vinegar bite but certainly mild enough for all I ordered a side of just out of the fryer green tomatoes. Well executed and a great side. We heard Macey describe the cole slaw to the women behind us. Ive been eating bbq and southern forever. I don't understand how I never had slaw with relish in it. After Macey was kind of to provide a small taste we ordered a side to go
We took home a lb of bbq to go too
We really came for the Brunswick stew. One of my girlfriend's side favorite dishes. On our way back from Savannah how could we not stop in Brunswick. The stew was excellent. So good we brought home a quart for dinner tomorrow
We've eaten at Michelin starred restaurants and tons of places all over the country and several countries but our time here was great. Thanks Macey for being so nice, enthusiastic and fun thanks to the pitmaster for making good q and the kitchen for everything else. To the owner, don't...
Read moreI usually rate a restaurant a star in each of 5 categories : taste, value, portions, location and quality of service. Unfortunately I can't give this place more than 2 stars. Perhaps I came here at the wrong time of the wrong, by my personal experience here wasn't great. This place was packed, which often is a good sign, but not this time. We had chicken, pork and the country fried steak, since they ran out of ribs at lunch time. The value and portions were really good, if you don't mind a bad lunch that is. The chicken was incredibly dry and cold, the pulled/chipped pork wasn't cold but was dry and flavorless. The country fried steak was the best thing we had, but even that was generic, like the best value brand at Wal-Mart. The battered fries weren't bad, but I really can't say they were good either. Coleslaw had no dressing. It really made me sad to dislike my meal here, usually I'm all about mom and pop places, but I simply can't understand what people see in this place. Like I mentioned previously, The only things I can highlight were the okay prices and the decent portions - as long as you don't mind...
Read moreI have been told by locals this is the best BBQ around Brunswick along with Gary Lee's. Finally had the opportunity to go by (employees requested them) for a carry out order. The carry out waitress was great and the food was amazing. The best part was an older lady (I believe the owner) overheard me say it was my first time...a few minutes lady she personally brought out my food and said "we are famous for our fries and you didn't order any so I threw some in". To my surprise she had added a very large fry to my order (which was amazing) at no charge. Sausage, pulled pork, fried okra, mac, fries were outstanding. I was shocked at how big the pulled pork and okra portions were. So the locals were right and I will definitely be back...if they do large catering events we will probably give them a call for our next company function. I can't say enough about their quality of food and customer service...very rare to find a place like...
