2026. The pork chop is large and comes with 2 sides, plus bread. Still a good deal around $11. The other meals also have generous portions. Not noisy and everyone has Southern hospitality.

Food was great. Our waitress was very rude. We had to get straws from another waitress. Never offered drink refills. We were a group of 5 older ladies and were out for lunch. I go to the drive thru regularly very seldom dine in. One of us also wanted an order to go, she was told to order it at the counter when she paid for her dine in lunch. A very rude waitress turned a good get together for lunch into a very disappointing time. We are starting this lunch outing on a regular basis. Don't think Fincher's will be on our list again.

I had dinner at Fincher’s Barbecue recently, and it took me back — there’s something timeless and honest about this place. Walking in, it immediately feels old‑school and unpretentious: modest décor, simple tables, maybe a few folks chatting over plates, and that smoky BBQ aroma hanging in the air. It’s exactly the kind of no‑frills barbecue joint you hope to find when you just want good food, not hype.
I went for the pulled‑pork “Pig” sandwich stacked with meat and their classic tangy‑sweet BBQ sauce — and it hit the spot. The pork was tender and smoky, sauced just right, and the bun held up without getting soggy. I added a side of baked beans and some cole slaw to round it out. The sides were hearty; nothing fancy, but exactly what you want: filling, a little comfort‑food rough‑around‑the‑edges in a good way.
What I liked most: the portions were honest and filling. After finishing my plate I was fully satisfied — not bursting, but pleasantly full. The vibe felt relaxed. It wasn’t polished or trendy, but friendly and grounded: people seemed like they were regulars, it felt familiar. Staff were straightforward and efficient; the service felt casual and down-to-earth, like you’re eating in a local’s place rather than a showy restaurant.
Fincher’s doesn’t pretend to do gourmet BBQ. It’s about tradition — meat slow‑smoked, sauce that hits that Southern sweet‑peppery note, and comfy familiarity. If you’re after well‑made, unpretentious Southern‑style barbecue that feels like a piece of culinary history, Fincher’s Barbecue delivers. I’d go back for sure when I’m craving that kind of comfort.

The biscuits... they are Heavenly
The inside does not seem very clean. Had to sit at a table that was not cleared off due to wait and was told it would be cleared off and wiped down. Waited 10 minutes for them to clean it and wipe it down. Service is not good. Have to ask fir everything including drink refills. Not sure why this is rated the best BBQ. Stew is not good at all. Tastes like mush. BBQ is nothing special. Cole slaw is bland. Will not be going back.

Not representative of good Georgia BBQ at all. The brusnwick stew is decent (at best) but everything else was lacking. The barbecue sauce is watery and flavorless. The hamburger steak is a good size but leaves a lot to be desired flavor wise and the gravy also lacks flavor. Overall, two stars was the best I had.
I love the BBQ sandwich 🥪 I always eat here when I am in South macon ga
