Smokin PO Boys BBQ — Restaurant in Winder

Came by on Sunday about 6:30pm. Seemed to be plenty of polite staff. We ordered the pulled pork with Brunswick stew and crinkle cut fries on one plate. Big slice of grilled, I am sure, homemade garlic bread, complimentary with each plate. We also ordered a combo plate (2 meats with 2 sides. I had ribs and chicken with stew and potatoe salad both made fresh in the kitchen. We chose sweet and vinegar based sauces as accompaniments and they were excellent. The meats were cooked to perfection. I could almost simply shake it from the bones. The pulled pork was nice and moist.The sides also were wonderful. The stew was thick and not runny as some are. French fries were crinkle cut but cooked perfectly. The potatoe salad I especially liked, it was mayo based and creamy. All in all, the meal was absolutely up to my expectations and we will return to try the offerings of the chef as it is advertised that he was a graduate of the culinary school in Birmingham, AL. When we do go back, I will take my wife's recipe for Southern banana pudding for him to peruse because the 2 portions that we paid about $7.00 for went in the trash after 1 spoonful. We were extremely disappointed. There was no meringue. It was probably Cool-whip or something similar. The pudding was a good consistency but the texture was not smooth, it had tiny particles in it and I suspect it may even have come from a jar due to the metallic-like flavor that stayed on the tongue. It seemed to have bananas but I didn't see any Vanilla wafers because as I said, one spoon and we were both done. A real disappointment after such a fine meal. Never the less, WE...

I stopped at Smokin PO Boys BBQ to satisfy my BBQ itch. I heard great things about it, and they had the best banana pudding in the area.

The place had a great vibe and smelled amazing when I walked in. The guy taking the orders was very cool.

I ordered a half rack of ribs with potato salad and coleslaw and, of course, an order of banana pudding as a to go order.

When I got home after a 5 minute drive, I tore into my dinner. The potato salad was amazing. It was a little different as I think they used some kind of cheese in it. It was very tasty. The coleslaw was okay.

I then got to the ribs, which I ordered with their Sassy BBQ sauce. The sauce was nice and spicy, but it didn't take my head off. The ribs, on the other hand, were disappointing. They were dry and chewy and not the melt in your mouth falling off the bone experience I was hoping for. I was hungry and finished them off.

Then there was the banana pudding. It was really weird. It had a mousse type consistency that made me think it was made with heavy cream with banana flavoring. It had several Nilla wafers, but only one bit of banana in the entire cup! Not good eats.

I'm going to give the another shot as I saw other dishes they brought our looked truly delicious, but I won't drop another 32 bucks on...

I have drove past this place a couple of times, but since I don't live in the area have never stopped. I am very skeptical about BBQ places since most are hit an miss. I was greatly impressed. The wait staff were extremely friendly and the food was A-1! I had a combo plate with pork and ribs. My wife had pork and chicken. We went with another couple who also had combo plates. The plates were way more than we expected, and everybody was very well satisfied with everything they ordered! The pork was pulled and tender enough to feel as though it would melt in your mouth. The ribs were big and meaty and extremely juicy. They have a spicy sauce, a sweet and spicy sauce, a mild one and even a vinegar based one ( not for me!) I preferred the sweet and spicy. The meals came with two sides and a piece of toast. Sides included fries, coleslaw, okra, Brunswick stew And a couple of others I don't remember. The food arrived piping hot as though it was all prepared when ordered. And they made sure you never ran low on beverage's. We all had some beer battered onion rings which arrived plentiful and hot and we're delicious. I will definitely be back here as I consider this about the best BBQ I have had any where in GA. It puts Dreamland and...
