Arrived someone at register leaning on counter. Was an employees daughter. Had to wait to order and we were the only people there. The skin on the chicken was like rubber and the table was very sticky. Wouldn’t recommend it
Best BBQ around!! Don’t sleep on that stew, y’all!
We loved our lunch. Friendly staff, hot food, clean, cozy atmosphere

Fresh Air Barbecue is a beloved local spot known for its authentic southern BBQ and consistent quality. Visitors appreciate that the food tastes the same every time, with many having enjoyed it since the 1960s. The restaurant is famous for its ribs, which are described as "what dreams are made of," and its homemade barbecue sauce that customers often add extra hot sauce to. The barbecue plate is a favorite, with some guests requesting dry BBQ with sauce on the side, although occasionally the sauce isn't always served as requested. The menu includes items like Brunswick stew and coleslaw, both noted for their good flavor, with some slight variations from expectations. The atmosphere is nostalgic, and prices are considered very reasonable, making it a great spot for down-home southern BBQ. Staff are consistently friendly and patient, enhancing the dining experience. Though not fast food, service is quick enough for a satisfying meal. Visitors often leave smelling of Hickory smoke, a sign of the flavorful experience. Overall, Fresh Air Barbecue is a dependable, welcoming place that many plan to return to regularly.
