The server was nice and the food was great. Noice! The atmosphere was unique, and I enjoyed the meal. Yay :) I liked the Smack yo mama tots (do not worry, I did not smack my mama) read more

4 Way BBQ - So far so good - Barbeque Near Me - Lumpkin, Georgia

We hiked Providence canyon for HOURS. This was the only place open. 10/10, family style bbq. It was perfectly the way I would have expected it to be and we still remember ordering from the window and eating on the porch of someone's actual home. LOVED it. read more

Was visiting Lumpkin, GA for a few days and decided to check out the local BBQ. Ordered the rib dinner which came with baked beans and tater salad and a slice of bread. The ribs had a nice smokey flavor and good barbecue sauce. The sauce had me licking fingers after finishing each rib bone. The baked beans and tater salad were very good as well. Overall a great meal. Ordered outside at the window and was waited in by Amanda, who was pleasant and friendly. I would eat here again. read more

This BBQ restaurant is in a house and the front porch is huge with lots of seating. The take out window ordering was easy and the food was hot and fresh. We will be back again next week after going to the park. read more

Food was great and service was friendly!! we will be back soon !! i would recommend the ribs or pork sandwich

Great bbq and nice service.it tastes home made and fresh . I love going there. The wings were absolutely delicious. The chopped pork sandwiches were the I have ever had . This place deserves 5 stars. read more

Food was microwaved, somehow it still came out cold. Menu says it's fresh and ready but chicken was still pink, overpriced. The food gave my family food poising. Not a fun overall experience read more

Looking for a bbq joint as we were passing thru on Hwy 27 and this place was less than a mile away. Stopped for lunch and tried a 3/4 lb pork sandwich. One word- yuk. Crock pot chopped pork already sauced. It was a large sandwich and maybe the whole thing weighed 3/4 lb, not 3/4 lb of meat. Not smokey like bbq should be. Not worth the $9+ price. Wanted to try some ribs but was not going to spend $25 for a 1/2 rack. read more

This is a great stop if you are in the area hiking Providence Canyon. We completed our hike on a Sunday morning, and this was one of the only spots that was open. We caught them with just the right amount of time to eat before their 3 pm closing time. The restaurant is in a converted home, and the seating is in a large, open entry way. They have a window to the outside porch that they use for servicing to-go orders. They also have outdoor seating on the porch (alongside a large smoker) in case you spend to much time at the base of the canyon, playing in the mud. Shirts and shoes are required and they ask that you clean your hiking boots if you are eating inside. You can purchase one of their "our butts smell good" t-shirts if you want a souvenir. The spot appears to be family-owned and frequented by visiting hikers and local families. The menu consists of standard barbecue fare. My family and I all opted for pulled pork options (sandwiches and plates). Flavor was smoky and peppery, with a hint of vinegar. Cole slaw and baked beans were great. Because of our morning hike, we splurged and ordered dessert. The key lime pie was a fantastic sweet and tangy finish. It was quick, affordable and very filling after the morning's physical exertion. We would definitely return if we were in the area. read more

After hiking gorgeous Providence Canyon the park staff said this place had good boiled peanuts. Boiled peanuts are my new vice. Addicting like crack. I bought a basket for $4 plus tax. This place looks like it doubles as their home. Super friendly place with deer head mounts on the wall. Lumpkin is a really cute and older small town. Support local business. read more

$36 for 2 regular drinks, sandwiches, a cup of baked beans and a cup of Brunswick stew. Mediocre bbq at best. The service was fast and the hospitality was nice, otherwise the food and price alone would make this a 2 star. read more

Good small town food. The Brunswick stew was good an smokey but basic. I had the pulled pork on a tater. It was tender and mild, good for my taste. My husband had the rib sandwich and he enjoyed the smoked ribs but they were a bit tough. The restaurant is the first floor of an old home and it appears the owner runs the kitchen and smokers on the front porch. The meat is smoked right there which is great. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if Yelp would let me. Good home cooked food, cute. $24 for two people was a bit high for lunch. read more

Great food and good people! I was told the Key Lime pie was fantastic and i will be trying next time!

This is an excellent barbecue joint. The sides are excellent, and that's how you can tell the good places from everything else. The slaw was as close to perfect, as close to my ideal slaw, as I could hope for. Nice and crisp and fresh, just the right touch of sweetness. Perfection. The beans: excellent. They are seasoned with chopped pork. Exactly what I'm looking for in beans. I had the chopped pork sandwich. It comes sauced, and the sauce is balanced between sweet and tangy just right. I normally wouldn't want my pork sandwich sauced, but in this case, the sauce is excellent, and it does in fact bring out the subtle smoke in the meat. This is as good a barbecue plate as I've had. Fresh sides. Perfect slaw. I mean, I adored the slaw. And a great balanced sauce that complements the smoky pork. Highly recommend you stop here for lunch if you're passing through Lumpkin. read more

BBQ PorkBrunswick StewSmoked Ribs all was delicious and the staff is always friendly and helpful

We were looking for some good barbecue close to Richland Rum Distillery. We had high hopes when it looked like a mom and pop place, but our hopes were dashed. We would say no way to 4-way. The food was mediocre at best, and prices were double what we normally pay for twice as much better quality food. Owners were in adjoining room watching TV loudly. Food served in styrofoam with plastic utensils. You would not expect that when paying $21 for a plate. read more

On the menu it says "fresh not frozen and all homemade" But we watched them take it out of the freezer and then we heard the microwave turn on. We got the food in less than 10 minutes and we were the only ones in the restaurant so they couldn't have possiblly home cooked it that quickly. Their were small flys bothering us the entire meal and THEY CHARGE YOU FOR WATER! It is obviously a home turned into a restaurant. Do not reccomend. read more

Only place around it seemed. I'm pretty sure their pulled pork wasn't smoke and was rather crock potted in a soup if sauce. I got 1lb for $15. It was mostly sauce and chunked. Not pulled. Inside is beautiful honestly but they still aren't allowing people to come in and eat. read more

We stopped here on a Sunday for lunch while driving down 27 on our way to Florida. Its a nice quiet little town, plenty of parking in the rear or on the street. Food was quickly delivered and the folks working there, I think the owners, were super friendly and hospitable. No complaints on the food either. read more

We paid 68.00 with tip to feed 2 adults and 2 children. The portions were very small for the subpar food and price and we left hungry.

On our way to hike Province Canyon looking for a restroom and snacks. Saw 4 Way BBQ across from the mini mart and we decided to give it a try. Tasty pulled pork sandwiches, pulled pork on baked potato, Brunswick Stew, and spicy baked beans. Good sweet tea. Fueled our 3-mile hike. read more

4 Way BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Lumpkin, Georgia

I don't think I've rated a place this low in a long time. Whatever you do, Don't buy the ribs. They were tough and not very good and to top it off, way too expensive. Someone else had the pork sandwich, they said it was pretty good. My rating is based solely on the ribs. The people were nice and the environment was decent. I just can't emphasize enough that the ribs were not good. The smell of the place was wonderful. The ribs tasted ok, but they were fatty, not tender or too meaty, sinewy, dry in one section on the end and at best, one or two ok bites. I expected more from this place. I'm pretty sure the ribs were just reheated from an earlier day. read more

I spent the day hiking in Providence Canyon and stumbled upon this place by accident -- my cellphone GPS recommended it to me (the lady in the review bitching about cell service is full of shit, I have a horrible provider and even I got service). The owner of the place was manning the grill. I watched my food being prepared with the woman who hiked with me. We sat on the porch and ate, and the owner, his other staff member, and a random diner ate with us. They made us feel right at home, talked to us about the town and its history. Water was free, but the drinks we had got free refills. I'm pretty snobby about my barbecue. I know how to make it myself, and I come from a long line of good ol' southern folk who make delicious barbecue. So when I say this food is good, take it for what it's worth. read more

My friends and I hiked at Providence State Park one Saturday morning and this place was the only place that was open and close by for lunch. We were excited to try a locally owned BBQ joint in Lumpkin with a great ambiance! However, my friend and I were very disappointed by lunch. I got a chicken sandwich, and was a bit frustrated when the $8 sandwich consisted of only a chicken breast and 2 pieces of bread. The chicken was all right, a little cold, but nothing special. My friend got a pulled pork sandwich, which he thought was a bit fatty. Overall, we went here in a pinch, and likely will not return. read more

4 Way BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Lumpkin, Georgia

0 stars. Overpriced, terrible food. Went out for a day hike with friends, from Tallahassee FL to visit the canyons.. We were all super hungry and saw a sign advertised outside the park for BBQ. WORST DECISION EVER. Wound up throwing away food. Wonder Bread with frozen meat recooked. NOT FIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. PS. If u happen to visit on a good day, you may see the owner yelling, extremely loud and viciously at the neighbor's children next door because they were on "his property" (which is an actual single family home with some tables inside, taxadermy and a outdoor window for take out...) and he then calls the police on them..all happened as we waited for our inedible food. .You cant make this shi* up. This actually happened. read more

Great down home bbq served by super nice folks. You can eat inside, which feels like Grandma's house, on the porch or get takeout. We got ribs, dark chicken plate, pork plate and butt stuffed potato. All were delish. The coleslaw and baked beans taste homemade. read more

The rib was terrible. Not cooked well enough, it was tough and served on a lousy piece of bread. The place is nice and the people are friendly. read more

Meh. The bbq sandwich wasn't that good. It reminded me of school lunch-style sloppy joe food. I wasn't expecting chopped cubed pork bits drowning in ketchup-like sauce. The chicken sandwich had blood veins in it and looked very dry. On the other hand, they have Lays potato chips and the staff was friendly. Giving one more star than I would because it's a local business. read more

I got the pork sammich and my buddy got the ribs. The pork sammich was not decirnable as pork and was swimming in some kind of ketchup based bbq sauce. The ribs were under done and still had the membrane on the back. It was near 30 bucks with one soda after the tip. They have cool t-shirts though and I'm a sucker for that. Also, I hate to turn away business from a small town family owned restaurant so maybe you ought to go and prove me wrong. Post a comment and I'll update this. read more

This place was horrible. $80 for our family of 6. Charged us for water and no free refills. It's a tourist trap, and there is no cell service to read any of the reviews. Avoid this place at all costs. The BBQ tastes like it came from a can. For prices like these I expect excellent BBQ. Don't waste your money. read more

4 Way BBQ restaurant. Horrible. Tough mean ole waitress that didn't crack a smile. When we made a complaint her only respone was, "I just work here." Then there is the food...fatty tough ribs that only a dog could rave about. Average to blagh pulled pork plate. Brunswick stew was more of a sloppy joe with some corn thrown in. The bill for two adults and two children came to 78.00...tip not included. You eat out of strofoam box. Do I need to go on? Sure! Outside of the house looks cute....until you enter. You're met with four deer heads on the wall with a creepy stark interior. Apparently this is also the owner's house. Angry smiling face signs are posted to warn you not to enter (This means you! ) You are also further warned on the menu to "keep your comments to yourself" if you don't like the food. We should of handed him a note saying, "Never coming back." read more

Rib sandwich consists of 2 tough ass ribs that have barely been on the smoker sitting on top of 2 pieces of white bread smothered in shitty sauce! read more

Hiking in Georgia and we come across a cute bbq place, yet the service was anything but. Walked in and was immediately told they were full and that we could only eat outside...uhm okay. We go back outside to a regular house window that she opens and takes our orders. We order ribs...not available and sweet tea that we wait almost 35 minutes for but we actually have to go inside and ask for them because they were just going to serve it with our meal...wtf??? Their sweet tea tasted like crap...So now were sitting outside on a porch in the middle of summer (thank goodness it did not feel too bad outside) and now we are getting harrassed by flies and gnats (we were just on a hike, bugs dont bother us but trying to relax and eat, come on.) Oh also, the grills they use to cook the food has a big can of hot shot roach spray by it...yummy. 40 minutes in and a couple walks up and gets seated inside...i thought there was no seating?!? After waiting 45 minutes for our food, the mysterious window opens and out comes our food...it was okay. A waitress came out once and refilled drinks but never saw her again. When we asked for pie...they had 1 piece for 3 people... Wheres the southern hospitality? Absolutely terrible experience. Oh and then the owner walking a dog exactly where we are sitting and trying to enjoy our meal and hes going to the bathroom... read more

Just had lunch there and we were impressed. Love that the family uses their house as a restaurant! The BBQ pork and beans were delicious! I got to taste some of my husband's Brunswick Stew and it was good. And I don't even like the stuff! If you're ever in the area stop by and eat there. read more

Well, you know what they say... "If you don't like it, Lumpkin!" As we happened upon the finest dining location in Lumpkin, our group was positively pleased to dine among deer (you'll get it when you get there) and friendly country folk. We found gastronomic delight in the grub with which we were presented, such as the famous butt stuffed tater, savory pulled pork sandwich, and simple but scrumptious coleslaw. And if you're the kind of person who has a hang up about eating squirrel, you'll be relieved to know you can order the Brunswick stew with no concerns. It seems there are always those who can find something to complain about, but our experience with the food, service, prices, and facilities left us with no complaints, only full bellies and happy hearts. Thus, by unanimous vote, we hereby decree this to be a respectable establishment well worth your money and time. We highly recommend any and all wayfaring carnivorous travelers passing through Lumpkin to give 4 Way BBQ a try! read more

When you're driving down the 27 and get hungry this is the place to go. Although seemingly expensive at first, the food is amazing! Remember- your in the middle of no where. Meat falls right off the huge ribs - chicken full of flavor and the pulled pork delicious. Get the sweet tea- bypass the bottled water. Good portions, friendly waitress and amazing aroma. Settled in an old house, rooms on both side and you can see into the kitchen. You pass the grill as you enter, setting the ambiance for a good country bbq meal. A must try! read more

definitely not fresh ! food literally came from the freezer and we heard the microwave. they were watching tv in the other room. worst sweet tea i've ever had. would not recommend. read more
