Our friends recommended this place on our way to their place in Florida. I am glad they did!…read more This place had made some of the best of lists. And for good reason! This is a really big restaurant. We had our dog so we got it to go and sat outside. There are a couple of tables there. There is a separate to go order area, which is nice. The food was phenomenal! We got brisket, chicken and sausage. And some spicy burnt ends! The chicken was the star. But everything was great. Including the sides. We also got some fresh fried pork rinds to go, they were cracking when they came out! So good! This is a great place to get some BBQ in the area We will be back!

The setup is quite nice, with many barbecue sauces to choose from and a whole salad and dessert bar for those who fancy them. The ribs I ordered were quite nice but on the drier side, and it's been a really long time since I had great fried okra - they knocked that out of the park. Overall, this was a comforting experience!

So stopped in here as we were looking for a dog friendly restaurant after a vet visit in the area…read more Super glad we did. The staff was exceptional, with even the one of the owners checking on us. My wife and I love good BBQ and had some of the best around the country. The ribs had a nice bite through while still being tender and juicy. The sliced brisket was moist and had a really nice smoke ring on it. They had three barbecue sauces on the table all mad in house 1) original a sweet and smoky bbq, 2) a mustard based sauce, and a pepper vinegar sauce all of which were very good. Now the sides were some of the best I have had in a long time. 1) roasted brussel sprouts in a maple glaze, 2) braised cabbage with bacon, 3) braised collards, and 4) Cajun fries. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. We will definitely be back on our next trip through.

Ribs chicken pulled pork with sausage: along with baked beans and Cole slaw. Spicy mustard sauce was the bomb. Got some to go, along with fried skins. I'll have to sneak some while Mrs isn't looking later. Wall filled with BBQ trophies, well deserved. Spoke to Sam, obviously proud of his work and a fine pit master on top of his craft. 7 min detour from I75, well worth your trouble.

Driving home from Florida and we were aiming to try a seafood place that popped up on my search…read more Unfortunately it was closed, so driving around we saw Hog-N-Bones. It definitely did not disappoint. The chicken was so good and very juicy. The fries and mac&cheese were delicious. The staff were super friendly, which may be expected bc of being in the south, but they were super sweet people. I'm not usually a "BBQ" place type of person, but this one exceeded expectations.

He ordered the rib dinner, I did the smoked chicken dinner and my daughter got the ham sandwiches with fries. He got the macaroni salad and baked beans, I got French fries and baked beans. The amount of food you get is just huge, you definitely don't go away hungry. Everything was so delicious and I am not a person who eats baked beans but Wanda's I could eat again and again I loved her baked beans. The owner, Wanda, came out and talked to us to see if we needed anything else and if all was ok. Wanda even brought us out wet wipes for our hands which was so nice and thoughtful. I will definitely go back and will tell others to go also. A great find tucked away off the beaten path but so worth going.

Austin's has been a staple in Valdosta as long as I can remember back to the 80s or early 90s. I…read morecame here this week with my daughter and grandkids as I live in Athens and don't get a chance to get out much and most of the time I'm down in Valdosta we eat at home, but decided we wanted to go out and we chose Austin's because we wanted steak!! Arrived and got a table quite quickly , and landed in the middle I guess, this place is huge, and we got a six top table with three adults and three small children. Our server Marla ( I think I can't find my receipt.), got our drink orders and some fries for the kids to be entertained quite quickly while we looked at the menus to decide what to get for everybody. She was a great server and took great care of us so thank you for the great service upfront!!! I was actually shocked at the pricing of the steaks and prime rib as they were well below market value in Northern Georgia. So I opted for the 10 ounce fillet., a Caesar salad salad and some vegetables, while my son-in-law got the 12 ounce Delmonico with side order of grilled shrimp. My fillet was bacon wrapped, and when I made the first cut, I drooled.! it was perfect! Then I tasted it. It was more than perfect.!! Literally the best steak I've had in years and I am a Chef! The Delmonico steak and shrimp were juicy , had a totally different flavor from the fillet and was delicious!! My daughter also has a 12 ounce Ribeye( the Delmonico , which is named after the restaurant and the way it is cooked, but it's a ribeye). We had enough steak to split for the kids., but got them a couple of order of fries and we did start with the buffalo chips, which are a must have! These are homemade chips with blue cheese crumbles and buffalo sauce and are the bomb!! My kids and I have loved blue cheese potato chips since visiting our most favorite old Diner in Buckhead, Atlanta and make them at home all the time! The 10 ounce fillet was only $34 which I thought it was a great value in 2025 !! I don't want them to raise prices but the same steak up here near Athens, Georgia would be 55 maybe $60. Even the 16 ounce primary was under $40 and is the best prime rib you'll get in the southeast anywhere.!! Austin's is a staple, unfortunately for me it's off the beaten path when I get into town so I don't go out there much but I'll be back again within six months now that my memory is jogged on how good it is. Restaurant is expanding where they are and if you are looking for a steak , or burger and sandwiches and other things they offer, you will not be disappointed. Great service , great food , great memories . Highly recommend.!!
