Pulaski Heights Barbecue

We were really excited to eat here and brought out friends, who’d never been. When one of us, with notable foreign accent asked the waiter “how does this work?” She seemed offended. Her answer felt unwelcoming and condescending. She left without asking us if we wanted something to drink. We were dumbfounded with the rudeness and just decided to leave. Couldn’t figure out if they wanted us to leave because they wished to close, or didn’t like old immigrants! So weird. Food smelled good though.

Good food, good size portions, great location. Something about the BBQ just doesn't sit right with me....but what do I know? Get there and find out for yourself. With all the Latin restaurants in Athens it's nice to have choices. Support locally owned business! Otherwise you won't have a choice. You'll be forced to eat food delivered by Sysco. Thanks for reading my review.

This is the best barbecue we have had in Athens since moving here 5 years ago. I dont mean to sound pretentious or suggest that I'm a licensed professional, but I'm a native Tennesseesean and my wife is Filipino, so our people freakin know pork! This meat is MOIST and tender, flavorful without sauce and perfectly smoked. There is a great selection of sauces on the table, each with its own distinct flavor profile and complimenting the pork without overpowering the taste of the meal. The atmosphere was great- amazing service, friendly staff and a great playlist. I knew I had to write this review when Yeasayer came on. This is our place. These are our people. This is BBQ as the pork gods intended. Thank you Pulaski Heights for restoring our faith in an affordable meal thats worth writing home about!

Went for dinner at 5p. Place was empty. Service was great. Food seemed like it was leftover from lunch. Meats were dry. Sauces were great. Probably won’t be back.

Ordered for takeaway: chopped brisket, pork ribs and pulled pork. The meats were so dry and tasteless. I can’t believe they had the nerve to sell it. The Mac and cheese was awful awful. At least the banana pudding was okay. But this was seriously a huge let down, they should be ashamed for serving food that bad. I don’t leave bad reviews that often, but had to make an exception for this place.

Pulaski Heights is off the beaten path but is easy to find. The restaurant offers a variety of sauces and a mostly a la carte menu.

The server was very attentive and nice. The food took a little bit, but it was worth it. I ordered a chicken leg, and the server recommended a cauliflower side. Both were ??! I liked the rub they used. It's different but very good. The sauces were okay, but not my favorite. The location was clean and welcoming. Try it out!

Honestly the food was awful. I love Korean food, I love BBQ. But their style of fusion just doesn't work. The baked beans were made with a heavy dose of soybean paste. My son loves baked beans and started crying after eating these because he was so disappointed. I had one bite and it was inedibly bad. The Mac n Cheese was full of weirdly dry pieces and tasted like it had been under a heat light all day. The actual meat itself was good but the sauces left much to be desired. Kicking myself for getting the 4-piece family meal because now we're stuck eating it.

Lots of options and friendly service. There's a variety of Korean infused flavors here, which is an interesting twist. Try to come a little before the lunch rush on weekends since it seems they run out of options rather quickly.

Never been there before. Wont be back. Got there right at 12. Asked what I wanted said I'd have to wait on customer to order first before they could serve me. In case they wanted what i wanted. Limited quantity.Then walked off. 10 min later I left. Didn't even acknowledge I was still there.
