Love their breakfast. Can never place an order. Customer service is HORRIBLE. Every time I call to place an order, cause their website won’t work, either the phone rings and rings, or they pick up, place on hold and never come back to the phone. I’ve been and still am on the phone waiting for someone to pick up and take my order. It’s going on 8-minutes. As a place of business, this is unacceptable.

Best BBQ in Gainesville.

Ribs, sides, brisket, and chicken are all consistently good. We get the Family Pack for gatherings and events.

But the POG sandwich (Pork on Garlic Bread) is the star of this show... may be they best sandwich in the Southeast United States.

And don't forget the sweet tea... gotta have that.

Highly recommend!

Smallest breakfast plate ever
Eggs and bacon undercooked
3 slices of bacon equals up to one piece
One spoon full of grits and you can count the shredded cheese pieces

Tasty BBQ, fast service, good sized portions for the prices. They also offer a daily special which is a great deal. BBQ sauce wasn’t our favorite. However, the meat came without sauce and that was a plus for us.

I'm a big fan of BBQ but this place is outstanding, all the meats are super tender and moist, so much better than the BBQ places that have very dry meat. This is definitely my new favorite BBQ

Got the large brisket plate for 18.99. Portion of meat was not terrible, but was over 1/2 fat and served in a lake of vegetable oil.. Texas toast was tasty but tiny(and had some black griddle sludge on it). Cole slaw was boring, but fine. It's supposed to come with 2 sides, but only received 1. Service was friendly and attentive. Kitchen moved like pro's. Used to eat at both locations often,years back. Had a friend that worked for them and they liked the owner. Might have just been a perfect storm of bad. 20 something bucks with tip, to still be hungry? Not again, anytime soon. Or don't order the brisket, if you go. It is the trickiest.

Being that it was my first time eating from David's BBQ, the food was great!! The only thing was that the rib pieces were really huge. When I eat ribs I like smaller pieces that I can chew. Other than that the experience was amazing and the young lady at counter was amazing as well. Her smile would make anyone's day. Definitely will be going back.
