Great family business. Excellent hamburgers, BBQ and vegetables! Service with sass! Clean and open space! Best and sweet hot BBQ sauce around!! It's a tradition in Ringgold. read more

Expensive not good at all only been one time not going back . Ordered the burger only wanted a few toppings the waitress ask how it was she said I guess they can't read my writing ugh just nasty read more

The best BBQ around, hands down. Taste, variety, good service, hospitality, atmosphere...Bailey's has it all.

I have been coming here for many years now and continue to go as a member because it's a good value. The place is clean and neat, the hours are good unlike some chiropractic offices that are only open during my working hours, here they are open on nights and weekends to accommodate those of us that work through the week. My last visit was with Fawn and she really gets the job done. I will see her again for sure. read more

Food is basic. This place is for "regulars" who've been going there for years. Not really something to go out of your way to enjoy. I got a burger and my friend got bbq chicken. When I say it's basic that's exactly what it is. I forgot I was in a bbq place because everything taste like it was from a can or no love was put into the food. The waitress seemed very stressed and tired which didn't sit well with me because us and only one other customer was in there the entire time. Ambience was farmer friendly and southern. It was just ok. read more

Tasty Holy cow! And I'm picky with bbq! Will definitely visit againBBQ Pork Sandwiches read more

Great food, good atmosphere. Excellent breakfast wonderful barbecue. hometown feel wonderful wait staff.

Baileys has been around since before I was born. As long as I can remember, my family has gone to Baileys for BBQ. They have the best salad you'll ever eat. Homemade ranch is THE BEST EVER, and I'm a ranch-a-holic! Hamburger steak is great. Brunswick stew is the perfect lunch on a cold day. Cant say enough about Baileys and the wonderful food and service they provide. read more

Good prices and good food. We did the family pulled pork meal takeout. Only thing I will not order again is the coleslaw. Coleslaw has no flavor or taste. read more

we eat here at least twice a month. great food and great staff. you should try it at least once

The service couldn't be better and the food is delicious. Try the pepper slaw. I tried it for the first time tonight. It was great.

Hubby is 5th generation north Georgian. I lived here for 46 years before we moved to Florida in 2020. Baileys is the standard we base all barbecue on. All fall short. read more

While in the Chattanooga Tenn area, a friend was asked where is there a good BBQ restaurant that he would recommend and with no hesitation, he told myself and my fellow travelers to try Bailey's, that he thought we would be pleased with the BBQ. First of all, I have to say that I have been told that there is not a BBQ restaurant that I will not try. The truth is that I have tried BBQ in Harrison Ohio, Nashville Tenn, Maui Hawaii, so in the spirit of enjoying good BBQ, the decision was made and I was excited trying another regions BBQ and sauce. I must first admit that Eastern NC vinegar sauce is my favorite, but I will experiment with other areas sauces on their BBQ. Now on to our experience at Bailey's BBQ. We arrived at the establishment at about 6:00PM on a Friday evening and the parking lot was full except for 1 space, which we promptly took. One of my friends stated , I think we have found a good restaurant because of the people already here. As we entered Bailey's we observed that all the tables were full except one and once again we immediately began to sweat ourselves when a server rushed over apologizing for not having the table already cleared. Another good sign, employees care about their customers, even as busy as they were. Our waitress was at the table almost as the table was cleared. I inquired of the table beside us what they would recommend and was told being it was Friday to try the ribs, Hmmm, I normally order BBQ but after hearing that one of my friends was ordering BBQ, I ordered the ribs and so did my other friend. When our meals were served, I found the ribs to be tender, moist meaty and smoked with a dry rub. (I would like to know what rub they use, because the flavor was outstanding) my fellow rib person also commented on how good the ribs were. Now to the KING of the meal, the BBQ. I asked my BBQ friend to allow me to sample his BBQ and found first of all that it was chopped course, not too fine, the smoke flavor was exceptional. In my personal opinion, if Bailey's BBQ was basted with Eastern NC style vinegar sauce, I would probably say it is the BEST BBQ I have had in years. My friends felt the same way as I did. As a side more, the corn bread served with the Brunswick stew is outstanding as well. I informed the owner and her daughter (who was our server) if I was within 75 miles of Rinegold Ga I would go out of my wAy to stop in and enjoy a meal with them. read more

Visited this BBQ joint while in the area on business. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of BBQ pork. Above average BBQ sauce with options for mild and hot. The Bake Beans are kind of a chili type version with hamburger meat mixed in with them. Very good Large hand made fries are one of the side options. Meatloaf looked like it might be good watching others. Might try that next time. Breakfast was on menu if here in the mornings and expect it would be great Only issue is service. Extremely slow service. Waited to place order and another 20 minutes before seeing any food. We did arrive around noon and place 3/4 full. But still lacking here read more

Definitely worth the 2-mile trek from 75. Went with my mom on the drive from Florida to Ohio. We both had the BBQ pork plate, which was huge. Definitely should have gotten the child's plate for late lunch. We each had, pulled pork, baked beans, cole slaw, and potato salad. We also tried the Brunswick stew, which is like a vegetable stew, but with BBQ meats (pork and chicken and beef). It was incredibly flavorful and full of veggies. (Corn, peas, Limas, okra, tomato) The pulled pork was very tasty - smoky and the sauce came in mild and hot. The potato salad is mustard-y and very good (homemade, of course). The cole slaw was mayo based, but not sweet and drippy, definitely also homemade. The baked beans were the best I've ever had in my life. They were smoky and sweet and savory - I could eat them every day! You also get 2 rolls; just yeasty rolls with the plate. Definitely worth the off-highway trek! Don't stop at fast food, this place is delicious! P.s. - mon-fri they have $6.50 and $7 lunch plates. Even in Saturday, our huge plates were $9.99. The Brunswick stew is $2.79 a cup. The place is rustic, but waitresses are friendly! They are open 6:30am-8p sun-thurs and 6:30a-9p Friday and Saturday. Dooooooooo eeeeeeeet! read more

Bailey's Bar-B-Cue - BBQ pork plate - came with cole slaw, baked beans, and choice of potato (got potato salad). Also side of Brunswick stew. - Barbeque Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

Visited for breakfast and lunch on separate occasions. The bbq was a little salty for my taste but otherwise good to eat. I would say my meals of bbq were average. Breakfast is pretty good. My food was seasoned well and hot. Service is great every time. read more

Below average barbecue. Good service. Food was hot. Gave it two stars for the food and service

Found this place using Yelp. just a few miles off of I-75, but worth the drive. Reasonably prices and by the looks of the place it's frequented by the regulars. For less than $20.00 we got two home cooked meals that filed us up. Solid home-cooking. read more

Favorite restaurant! Best bbq and love the family atmosphere. You can't go wrong with anything you order but my favorite is the Tony Tater. Must try! read more

This is a hidden gem but not hidden to locals. If you love meat with smoke flavor this place of for you. Beans are full of smoke and just a little spice. Slaw doesn't have a ton of flavor but added to the bbq it is a good compliment. The portions are huge. I love spicy food and the hot sauce was crazy spicy. I mixed mine with the mild sauce and it worked great. read more

This was the BBQ I wanted! A real place... And I had my first taste of Brunswick stew. Yummy! This is the rare BBQ place where you don't need to sauce the meat... it's just perfect as it come out of the kitchen. Wowza! (Gee... I never finished writing this when we were on vacation! Sorry 'bout that! We ate here in June of 2012 on our way down to Florida.) read more

I really enjoyed the BBQ beef and the flavorful pork and beans. I'm not a beans fan but theirs was really good. Cole slaw is a little bland, but I came for BBQ. The place is country style decor inside a metal shack, but the reviews were spot on with good food. We actually had really attentive service, too. read more

Bailey's Bar-B-Cue - BBQ beef. The coleslaw is a little bland but everything else tasted really good. - Barbeque Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

Okay, I've been coming here for about 10 years . Consistently satisfying. Nothing exciting about their pork or chicken Bbq (I don't do beef). Just good. I'm nitpicking but they throw lima beans in their brunswick stew. That's anti " merican". Shoot if you're looking for filler why not add brussel sprouts and rutabagas. But I digress .But it's kinda a bummer for a nicely flavored stew. Try the wings they're really good. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Friendly staff and plenty of parking. Baileys is also open for breakfast. Closed on Sundays. Recommended read more

Great spot for BBQ. Slow cooked and excellent cuts of meat. Portion size was very good and the staff is very attentive. Sides just complement the rest of the meal. Will add this spot as a place to return to again and again. Thanks to the staff. read more

Bailey's Bar-B-Cue - Barbeque Near Me - Ringgold, Georgia

The Dining Divas went to lunch at Bailey's Bar-b-que in Ringgold Georgia on Wednesday September 11th. There were 14 of us. Our server, Pat, did an excellent job. It is not easy for one server to take care of 14 customers at one time, but she made it look effortless. We were truly amazed by her service. The food was prepared with great care. The recipes are family favorites and prepared fresh. The BBQ is to die for. It is cooked on the property to perfection. The portions are huge and most had to take part home. The owner, Jane, came to our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Even the cook, Scott, which is the owners son, came to our table to see if his cooking was enjoyable. Our native British Diva said it was "bloody good ", which means it was as good as it gets. Bailey's is a family oriented restaurant with a homey, you belong here atmosphere. Most of the customers knew each other and there were cheerful conversations and a lot of laughter. When we left, it felt as if we had been to an old friends home for dinner. Bailey's is a true hidden gem and we encourage you to go and enjoy it for yourself. You will not be disappointed and we will be going back! We rated Bailey's a 5 out if 5 only because 5 is as high as we can rate it. read more

How disappointing! Definitely not worth the 4.5 stars that it was rated. I had the Beef Plate and everything was bland. The Beef itself was a dry pile with sauce dumped on it. The Coleslaw was tasteless and thick. The Baked potato was just ok. The portion was huge but I wasn't looking for a quantity I wanted quality. read more

Eh. Mediocre pork. Service was eh. Nothing special. Pricey for what you get. We wouldn't return or recommend.

Great great restaurant. Food is 5 star bbq. Burgers are like homemade. Always fast & friendly staff. Take-out or dine-in, you will not be disappointed. read more

Best hot sauce ever...perfect BBQ pork & beef...will be back soon!!

Best bbq we've found in the area! The location is unassuming but just a few minutes off I-75 and an easy drive from Chattanooga. Down home ambiance and attentive & friendly service. The bbq pork & beef are really, really good - flavorful, tender, delicious on their own before adding any sauce. The baked beans are the best I've ever had, with a great smokey flavor & hearty chunks of meat to add to the flavor. The portions are generous, and my wife and I now order the kids plates - still plenty of food for a grown up & the waitress said lot of adults get them. If you're in the Chattanooga area or passing through, this is a fantastic bbq destination. read more

BBQ pork sandwiches and tater tots were delicious! No lie I would say it was the very best BBQ I have EVER had. The location is a little off the beaten path from the expressway but well worth it. The prices were also very reasonable and the waitstaff is very friendly. Next time I'm anywhere close to this place I'm making it a point to stop back in! read more

I love their BBQ it so good! The envirement is very clean. Employees are very polite and welcoming. All in all it was a great experience!

Overwhelmed by memories of the bbq places from my childhood, this is real deal, old school BBQ. It's slightly over smoked (I'm guessing they use straight hickory, which has a tendency to do that), but the half chicken was very tender. My three ribs were small, but well cooked and delicious. The Brunswick stew was fabulous despite the presence of lima beans. The blue cheese dressing for the salad was homemade and perfect in flavor and viscosity. The bbq sauces were sweetened with molasses and was heavy with it. Not particularly my favorite on their own, they were both (hot and mild) great accompaniments to the meat. Full of old folks and locals, it's a perfect example of what bbq can be when done right. Outstanding and we'll worth the exit from the interstate read more

Not one of my favorite places to eat but most of what I have eaten here was really good. The bbq is good and so is the hamburger steak. Baked beans are extremely good, very different than most people serve but excellent in my opinion. Slaw is very bland, add to bbq or salt and pepper a whole bunch, or add hot sauce to it to help. Fries are good and the rolls are good with butter. People are nice, service has always been good for me. price is a little high in my opinion for me but you do get a lot of food on the plate. read more
