5 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Statesboro

“This place is a hidden gem. Heading back from a Cape Canaveral cruise, we stopped here for lunch about 1.5 hrs from home - Augusta. Glad we waited until Statesboro. We ordered the 1/2 chicken combo plate & 1/4 lb brisket combo plate. Combo came with 2 sides & 1 drink. Plus 20% tip at the counter, it came to $30 & change. Large portions, we couldn’t finish it. The chicken & brisket were very tasty & smoky with still some chew. Sides were pretty good. The Brunswick stew was thick made will pulled pork. 3 homemade BBQ sauces - sweet, spicy, gold - mustard. We liked the gold sauce. Counter attendant was very friendly & responsive. They also have smoked chicken wings for $1 each, but were sold out. Definitely 2 thumbs up!“

“great place,and great people“

“I gave it only 3 stars on food because the ribs had no flavor at all and the collard greens had so much salt they had to be sent back. I love salt but WOW it was alot. They agreed with me and offered me something else. The service was outstanding. I did enjoy the brisket. It was moist and not oversmoked. It could have had more salt. The pulled pork had good texture but no flavor. The mac n cheese was just like homemade with the browned cheese and not too much cheese sauce. The most enjoyable part of our meal....FRIED OKRA!!! Hands down the best fried okra I have ever eaten in a restaurant. I will come back and try again just to have the okra. Thank you to all the staff. You guys were attentive to our needs and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Thank you for a wonderful meal, I hope to give you 5 stars on food on my next visit.“

“The food was awesome. Don't really go to steakhouses but I was in the mood for a steak. My steak was perfectly cooked. The loaded bake potato was excellent. They also serve bread and butter. The bread was a wheat and grain perfectly baked. Everything was fresh. We didn't have to wait long for our appetizer which was also to die for. We had the spinach dip. We didn't have to wait long for our order either. I highly recommend stopping in for a nice and inexpensive meal.Parking: There is plenty of parking and wheel chair accessibilityWheelchair accessibility: Right at the front door with plenty of room“

“Statesboro is my home town and every chance I get. I go back to get the traditional barbecue. I love most any BBQ but this is what I was raised on. I eat here as a child in the 60s. My father eat here during the great depression of 1929. This restaurant was founded like a lot of old BBQ restaurants that had to take the cheapest cut of meat and put a lot of labor in it. I cook BBQ for my friends and family and this is my goal. This is the best BBQ IN WORLD.“
