No sliced brisket on a Saturday before 2pm? Tasted like pot roast with very little smoke. The sauces were good, the sides were a good size but the Mac and cheese was all clumped together and the baked beans tasted weird to me.

**Note that this review is for the newly opened location in Watkinsville**I’m always leery of BBQ joints that don’t have a smoker on site. And unfortunately this place falls into the same category. Pulled pork sandwich was dry, flavorless and had zero seasoning (Meat Church is your friend) to it. No smoke flavor (as apparent by the lack of smoke ring/pink color)and no bark. Maybe they pull those pieces out.Portion size was good and the sauce made up for the lack of flavor. But if you can’t get pulled pork right I’m afraid to see the pricier ribs and brisket.Photos are of their pulled pork, and a recent shoulder I smoked and pulled. Night and day difference. Maybe time for me to open a BBQ food truck if theirs passes for a $7 sandwich!

Went to G brand for some barbecue. Thought it best to get the sampler platter a little bit of everything smoked chicken pulled pork ribs. Food was actually pretty good the ribs not so much they may have been made a little bit earlier we're a little dry. Pulled pork was pretty good the chicken was outstanding. Service was good not the last time I'll try them

What a great find in Crawford Ga. I have passed by this place several times and have been wanting to stop by. Am I glad I finally gave it a try. The atmosphere is cool. The staff is friendly and all seem happy to be there. I had the special which included 3 ribs, 2 sides, bread a drink and desert for $13.99. What a deal! Eveything was really good. Our server Alexs suggestions were spot on. Needles to say I will be back.

I am so thankful that we had G Brand as the caterer for our wedding! From the second we walked in the restaurant for an impromptu catering tasting, I knew that the food and service would be outstanding at our wedding. Fred was great about working out a personalized menu and pricing to fit exactly what we wanted. Angie was so easy to work with during the tasting and all the way through to being present onsite for our wedding. She was the sweetest person, and everything that was served had her homemade personal touch of perfection. Her homemade peach cobbler and apple crumb cake desserts absolutely topped our Nothing Bundt Cake wedding cake. My husband and I made sure to take time to enjoy our meals, so we didn’t miss out, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about all of the options we had. I could not recommend G Brand anymore highly, the food and catering service was phenomenal!

The best bbq and especially the sides I’ve had outside of Texas. This is excellent southern food. I really liked how they kept some of the history of the building. What a greatly executed restaurant.

It must b the hangout of the teenage girls. Lots of them sitting at counter. People come in and were ignored for over 10 minutes no service. Our bbq was so dry. Young lady told husband it stayed under heat lamp too long. Well put it somewhere else. But the stew there and tea was amazing! Best stew around. Was out of potatoe salad and cole slaw. Overall good but bbq needs sauce to make edible.Parking: Plenty of well lit parking

Kind of average. Appeals to a certain taste. I am really not a fan of the potato salad or the desserts, but that is more preference than quality per se. The meat is all really good and the dining area is spacious' with an authentic southern vibe (great yea and friendly staff).

I had to drive 30 mins there and back and I did a call in order for 4 adults and when I got there to pick it up, first of all the cashier told me it was $82.06 so I gave her $102.06 and she looked lost and said is the extra for our tip and then when she handed me my bags I told her that can’t be all my food and please check to make sure and she said yes it’s all there. Well I knew it wasn’t because I ordered a large tea and she hadn’t given it to me yet and then I noticed my bags of chips were missing so I had to ask for those plus my tea. So once I get home and ready to feed my family I saw where the shrimp and the salads from my husbands and sons plates were missing so I called and the girl said I can take your name and what items your missing and you can get them next time. I told her that wasn’t doing me any good as far as feeding my family their dinner that night and that I had no choice but to come back 30 mins round trip to get it. Once I drive back to Crawford and ask to see the manager some young girl comes over and I tell her we need to talk in private because of the other customers being nearby so I tell her my story of the poor service I got and she says she’s checked with the kitchen and they said the salads were made and I told her well I didn’t get them and I sure wouldn’t have driven 30 more minutes if they were in my bag. Then she said we will get you your food and I asked her if she intended to compensate me for my time and gas to drive back up there and she said NO I CAN’T GIVE YOU FREE FOOD. My feelings is that she could’ve at least offered me a free tea or dessert since I had driven an hour total to get our dinner and paid $82 for it! They had young children running the place that couldn’t even count change and had very poor management skills. I had been going there at least 3 to 4 times a month up until then. I told the girl that night that I wouldn’t be back and I won’t be back! And I will tell all my friends about my bad experience!
