14 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Watkinsville

“We have been to G Brand BBQ several times. Each time has been a sure joy. The food has always been excellent and the staff super friendly! We have tried many BBQ places in the area, and G Brand BBQ has become our go-to-place without question. We thought the prices were reasonable and not at all out of line. This is especially true considering how generous the servings sizes are. I give it 5 stars plus and two thumbs up! Try it! You will be glad you did!!“

“Absolutely the best bbq we’ve had in a few years! We used to get it from the location in Macon but retired to Athens 4 years ago and just found them!!!

Warmed up ribs last night(july 5) from purchasing on the 4th of July and they were outstanding!! Melted in my mouth and literally fell off the bone!

So flavorful and not greasy like most of the ribs I’ve ever had!!

Mac n cheese is to die for! And fried okra was awesome!! Chefs kiss to everything!

We dined in for lunch on the 4th and then order bbq and ribs to take home! The Hull Rd location is so quaint and loved having Andy Griffith playing lol…memories!

Kid-friendliness: Kids would LOVE the Mac n cheese!“

“I can’t vouch for the BBQ brisket but as a thirty year resident of Central Texas they have righteous breakfast tacos. BBQ setup looked legit and smelled amazing. I did a u-turn and tried it based on that alone. The chorizo was amazing.“

“I attended their Crawfish Festival today. From the day I bought my ticket to spending the day with them today Chris and his staff did an excellent job. I felt like family amongst them. You could tell that all staff really enjoyed what they were doing today. I will be back sometime soon to try the BBQ.“

“Highly recommend Dawg Gone Good BBQ, first timers and impressed. Quick service and amazingly good ribs. Don’t know how he does it but these ribs needed no sauce! Will definitely be back. Mac and cheese was delicious too.“

“Great place, great food, great staff“

“Friendly staff and delicious food!“

“Both times we’ve gotten bbq, the pork has been amazingly juicy and full of flavor. I highly recommend for tailgates, grad parties, etc. Young lady who assisted me Saturday was friendly and courteous!“

“The Sharpsburg, Ga location is delicious with excellent customer service!“

“It's a fast food bbq'ish .. fairly clean, with a good staff. Friendly and they do care about what they serve you. I wasn't being clear to what I wanted and received a coleslaw sandwich jajajaaaa. Yep, to end my April fools day, I ended up ordering a coleslaw sandwich with extra extra coleslaw. Even though I'm sure it was my own doings... they replaced the sandwich and even gave a thank you with have a nice day.. now those are good people. I am a bit of a bar be que snob.. but if you want some basic bbq on the quick. This is not a bad place to end up. Oh, ya'll this ain't no April fool joke.“

“As a student who doesn't have a meal plan review.The food and selection is great and varies weekly. The price with a student discount is $10.50 for lunch.Also this Hall is open to public.I love the yogurt selection and occasionally the coffee selection.It does get busy during lunch however that's expected.Note: the bathroom is outside the dining area which means existing thru the metal rotating things, but if you ask they will let you in no need to pay again.I recommend this Hall, it's spacious and is a vibe with the amout of sunlight inside due to the massive windows.“

“Beautiful dining room!! Our server was Jared & he is the absolute best!! He checked on us often (but not too often), kept our drinks full & was very knowledgeable about the menu! He was very kind & patient! As for food, I got the Flo’s Filet, asparagus & baked potato. My husband got the chicken tenders with macaroni & cheese. Food was definitely 10/10!! Shout out to the cooks!! Hubby is SUPER picky about sweet tea & he said it was PERFECT here!“

“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.“

“Was a nice place. Lots of pros some cons. Although this is a 5 star review there was somethings I didn't like.
Water glasses were metal and very small. Plates were tiny. Didn't like that there were virtually no vegetables. Only mushrooms and bean sprouts. Did not have any zucchini or other vegetables that would have been nice. The corn with cheese was just OK. Did not like that they only bring out 2 Meats at a time. Other Korean places will allow to order and cook more than two at a time. Peppers and onions and zucchini would have been nice. NO BUFFET available to go along with the dinner. Also did not feel that an automatic 18% tip was appropriate . It's supposed to be a self cook restaurant similar to the melting pot or kpot restaurants. Didn't like there was no knives. At least there were forks upon Request . Didn't like the paper napkins that were crammed into the diner style dispenser. Also $15 for a mixed cocktail 🍸 was very pricey. Don't expect to get out of there with 2 people for under $115. Choice is yours.
With all that said, I did enjoy the meal. Not sure if I would go back unless they improved on the above.

Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetables primarily only limited meat options“
