Love the food, but the prices are through the roof. 40.00 for lunch for 2 people. Pork plates, drinks, and a small extra cup of beans that they charged $4.85 for. Too high for many return trips, but food was great. Just too expensive.

The pulled pork was tasteless. The Cole slaw was cabbage and sugar. The beans were right out of a can. Cashier a little grouchy, I mean really grouchy. Dine elsewhere.

From Louisiana we were here on a contract in the mountains and wanted bbq, went to 3 different bbq places during our stay in 2021! This was the best bbq I ever had in my life, best service, best prices, best quality, best taste! I always look for this place when I visit ga, it’s just so far! But it’s worth the 2 hour drive every time! I had to search my messages to find this place again! This time I will not lose it because I am putting a saved pin ? on it!

This place is a gem in Hiawassee, Georgia! All of the staff were very friendly and the place had a hometown feel to it. I could tell this is where the locals come because everyone knew everyone by name. My wife and I both got the Little Piglets(sliders) with turkey and chicken. The Smokehouse Potato Salad was amazing! Slaw was perfect and beans were awesome! Now the fried corn was something to write home about!! Anyone passing through Hiawasee MUST stop here! We definitely will next time we come through.

Amazing food and even more amazing service. If you have not been here i highly suggest you stop and enjoy both the food and southern hospitality. It is 5 stars all the way. We had the ribs and pork and pulled pork sandwich. Potato salad had just the right amount of flavor and spice. Smoky fall off the bone ribs and juicy pulled pork sandwich. Wish i can shares pictures but we dove right in

Really good BBQ! We loved the pork sandwich, baked beans, and macaroni salad but everything is great. The sauces on the table are also really good! Must try!

Atmosphere offensive, the service was slow and not friendly, and BBQ is just ok. The mac n cheese is either Stouffers or canned. The smokehouse potatoe salad is good.

Lunch time for three! Order at the counter and they bring to you. Can dine indoors or out on covered porch. Indoor dining area is tight but definitely fits a good BBQ dining spot along with decor. Barely a wait for entrees. Pulled pork sandwiches were great. Loaded baked potato was great. Texas mustard and smoked potato salads were good. Their take on Brunswick stew was more of a soup and thin but still good. I’m used to more a thicker puréed stew. Service was great and friendly! Would definitely come back.

Stopped by for lunch while in the area and it did not disappoint! The food was some of the best bbq we have had in a long time. The sides were delicious as well! The service was excellent, it had a fun aesthetic and we felt a since of community. Would highly recommend this restaurant!
