12 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Athens

“Stopped in today for lunch and it was delicious. I ordered the 1/2 chicken plate w/fried okra and coleslaw. Everything was fresh and well seasoned. Keep it up!“

“I attended their Crawfish Festival today. From the day I bought my ticket to spending the day with them today Chris and his staff did an excellent job. I felt like family amongst them. You could tell that all staff really enjoyed what they were doing today. I will be back sometime soon to try the BBQ.“

“Highly recommend Dawg Gone Good BBQ, first timers and impressed. Quick service and amazingly good ribs. Don’t know how he does it but these ribs needed no sauce! Will definitely be back. Mac and cheese was delicious too.“

“Mr. Scott is always the nicest man! You have taken a step back in time when entering. They really care about what you want, and what you think of their product. We found them about 5 years ago and have never gotten any bad BBQ from them (especially love the ribs!). It is not fancy, it's like going to your grandma's for dinner. You know you are welcome!“

“The bacon cheddar burger was absolutely delicious! 10/10 👍“

“Excellent Excellent Excellent! Delicious food and a fun time. Our server was the bar manager, and we loved his “aim to please” demeanor! Try as many different sides as you can and be prepared to share! The fried pork skins made fresh on site were unbelievable and immediately took our Puerto Rican friend back to his childhood! Thank you! We will DEFINITELY be back before we head out of town!“

“I can’t vouch for the BBQ brisket but as a thirty year resident of Central Texas they have righteous breakfast tacos. BBQ setup looked legit and smelled amazing. I did a u-turn and tried it based on that alone. The chorizo was amazing.“

“Thank you for keeping the high standards for food that I’ve come to expect from UGA Dining Services. I know, no matter which dining facility I go to, that the food will be freaking awesome, the staff will be friendly and answer any questions I may have (and repeat it since I have hearing issues). These have been some trying times and we’re all facing things we’ve never had to face before in our lifetimes – so I really do appreciate how hard Dining has worked to follow guidelines for social distancing, for keeping the high quality of food, and still maintaining the friendliness and fabulous customer service that we’ve long taken for granted. KUDOS TO YOU!!!“

“Blown away by the quality and flavor of the food! Outstanding“

“It's a fast food bbq'ish .. fairly clean, with a good staff. Friendly and they do care about what they serve you. I wasn't being clear to what I wanted and received a coleslaw sandwich jajajaaaa. Yep, to end my April fools day, I ended up ordering a coleslaw sandwich with extra extra coleslaw. Even though I'm sure it was my own doings... they replaced the sandwich and even gave a thank you with have a nice day.. now those are good people. I am a bit of a bar be que snob.. but if you want some basic bbq on the quick. This is not a bad place to end up. Oh, ya'll this ain't no April fool joke.“

“It was a to go order and the food was brought to the car . It was warm and delicious . We had a grilled Salmon and a Tbone ( like) steak ! The sides were so Devine I ate my steak the next day . Brussels sprouts were so yummmy I SQUATED to honor them , the French Onion soup made me HOLLER like they were whooping my behind, may be the best I have had ! Give it a try !! I mean that soup calls my name and I try to communicate .. wish I had a bowl now !!“

“The food was great and the service was great. The music videos we had to stare at the entirety of our meal were not so great. There are TVs everywhere, which is fine, but the music videos were not appropriate a lot of the time. We had a large group of children with us, which may have made me more sensitive to it, but it also made me not want to return. It didn’t add anything to the experience to have k-pop videos playing constantly.“
