Shorty's BBQ and More — Restaurant in Locust Grove

Yesterday my daughter and I were craving some good old southern BBQ, so we stopped by Shorty’s BBQ in Locust Grove. It’s a takeout-only spot, but the moment you pull up, that smoky aroma lets you know you’re in for something special!

We both ordered the special plate — I went with the rib tips and couldn’t even wait to take photos because they smelled so good I started eating right away. My plate came with collard greens, mac & cheese, and a warm peach cobbler for dessert. My daughter got the same plate but chose the slab of ribs, and those ribs were falling off the bone good!

We also grabbed the strawberry lemonade, which might be the best in town — you can truly taste the strawberries and the lemonade.

The food was flavorful and even though it’s takeout-only, the service and energy made it feel like home. If you’re near Locust Grove and want that real southern smoked BBQ taste done right, Shorty’s BBQ...

I had the chopped chicken and Mac and cheese and sweet tea, the chicken was ok, but I really went there for good home style Mac and cheese cause the picture on website looked so yummy , but I took a bite and was so disappointed because it tasted exactly like canned chef boy r d Mac n cheese, and did not satisfy my Mac n cheese craving, I only ate it cause I was working all day and was hungry, as for the sweet tea, it tasted like it was made with water from a filthy moldy hose or something, it was so bad I threw it away, and I never waste tea, as it’s in of my favorite beverages. I say this all as an honest review of my meal and hope no one takes offense, but rather improves, I really do wish them the best, but whatever you do, don’t...

Wow!!! My husband and our kids often go out to eat on the weekends and the choice for us is usually always bbq. However, this time our son wanted to try it while the girls wanted pizza. (Big mistake on their part) We’ve been to lots of bbq places over the years and this is hands down one of the best!!!! My husband is often times disappointed when we find a place advertising bbq, needless to say this time we both found it a pleasure from the amazing bbq, to the well seasoned sides and let’s not forget the amazing staff and their first time visitors welcome. The strawberry lemon aide was refreshing and left our son wanting more. We live over an hour away but will definitely be visiting...
