We have eaten here for the last 10 yrs and I have never had a bad experience. The food is always good, the service is great and the beer is ice cold! I have always loved the way the building seems like a smokehouse and smells like it when you go in. I also have never witnessed anyone unhappy with their visit. I don't know how it's not more busy than it is. "Fresh air what???" Blind pig blows them out of the water from their pulled pork to the ribs and especially the stew! read more

First time eating a blind pig was a real treat, I got to talk to the owner and for me that they had desserts, but they were out of one of the desserts that I like which was a chocolate pow cake, but that's okay. I had the full rack of ribs, okra coleslaw and Brunswick still and it was absolutely amazing. So if you're down in Jackson, you need to go Uber to blind pig with gosh, they have really good barbecue. read more

My dinner was awesome. Really no service. You order your food like a fast food place. They bring you the food. Everyone was extremely nice. I well be back and I well tell everyone about how great the bbq was. There was little parking but no problem find a parking place. read more

Service was good, the sides were very good. We had stew, Cole slaw, home made chips. The pulled pork sandwich was good. 3 in our pantry ordered 1/2 rack ribs. Very disappointed they were extremely dry. We went later in the evening so I think they were over cooked. The other issue was the flies. We had 5-6 flies we were shooing the whole time we were eating, so that was not pleasant read more

I've been eating here for years and have always been a huge fan of the Brunswick stew. The meats and sauce are pretty tasty too! I live in Oregon now so don't get to have it as often, but whenever I'm in Jackson I make it a point to stop in. Service is always good and you can't beat the UGA decor! read more

I see people giving this place 5 stars... more power to them. It's Just not good BBQ to me. The lemon poundcake was nothing at all to write home about either. Service was good although I got the food to go. Nice restaurant. read more

A hog has 13 ribs yet the Blind Pig only gives 8 and claims this is a full rack. False advertising should be illegal. I will not be going back nor will I recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Typical bbq joint service. Friendly and to the point. Good food and surprisingly good sides. The decor is less of a focus than the food but the place is clean and has plenty of seating. read more

I found this place in a random "restaurants near me" search. I was surprised at how busy they were on a Thursday night an hour before closing. The staff were very nice. The young man who took our order was so sweet. He was so patient with my daughter and all of her questions. We both ordered the Half Rack dinners to go. She had fries and Brunswick stew. I had fries and coleslaw. We both enjoyed the fries. I enjoyed the coleslaw. My ribs were salty and tough on the ends and I wasn't sure if the ribs were salty or the sauce was salty. My coleslaw was good and very fresh. We also had the lemon and carrot cakes. Surprisingly, my daughter thought the cake was a little too sweet. I enjoyed the carrot cake. It was moist and flavorful. I would go back. I'd just go early in the day. I think I'll try the grilled burger next! read more

Amazing food. Great rosemary lemonade. Consistent recipes. Never a poor meal. Favorite spicy bbq sauce. Try their "hurtin' hot" bbq sauce if you like spicy bbq sauces!! read more

Good quality pulled pork solid sauce. No complaints Sides are very good. Home made potato chips are always a fan favorite read more

Nice place. Currently offering takeout only. You can phone an order in or prefer through a window. We were in the area and it was recommended to us. Good portions of BBQ on the sandwich and home it round fries. We also tried the beans (they are on the sweet side) and the slaw. 20 dollars gets you 2 combos. The buns and meat could have been a tad warmer for my liking. Sauce is available on the side- nothing fancy. I did miss having a few to choose from. Overall, if your near Jackson lake worth a quick lunch stop. read more

A great find avoiding Atlanta traffic on the way south. We had 2 racks of ribs and 3 orders of fries among 4. Plenty of food. The ribs are very good but the potato fries are about the best I've ever had. A definite recommendation if you are in the area! read more

Great local restaurant. I had a half rack of ribs with baked beans and cole slaw. The beans had secret ingredients that were excellent. The rib were good.with good sauce,I added some extra. The family behind rhe counter made it special. A place to go back to again for more great BBQ and baked beans and other items on the menu read more

This BBQ place is my favorite anywhere and I do mean anywhere. It's a 50 mile round trip for me and worth every minute of anticipation. My friends and I ride our Harleys there (about 7 of us) whenever we get a chance. No matter what state you visit for BBQ, let me tell you that they have the best Brunswick stew on the planet - I swear!!! The BBQ sandwiches are piled high (enough for 2 sandwiches) and tastes wonderful - even without adding any extra sauce. The sauce is either medium or hot. (some say a 3rd one - sweet) Normally I don't do "hot" but this one is excellent and easy to tolerate the heat. (a little runny nose) The dinner plates run around $12.99 and up and come with 2 sides. Everyone loves their fries, which are actually thin cut potatoes perfectly cooked as crispy. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The place is always clean, including the bathroom. They have TVs you can watch, no music, and they serve beer - including IPA choices. I could go on and on but let me just suffice it to say - you will be so glad you found this place and will crave returning asap. Btw, they are now closed both Monday & Tuesday. (we go on Sunday am when they open at 11am) read more

We frequent here often. Love the staff. Delicious food in a quaint building. The ribs and 1/2 chicken (served only on Sundays) are our favorites. Great stew too. read more

Literally a hole in a wall. Small private location . The food is so good . Fries and stew are the best sides. Ribs , pull pork and turkey sandwich are the best meat . The shop feels like someone is cooking out their house kitchen. Food is always fresh and good . Prices are good for serving size given . I highly recommend . Crazy thing I lived in my house for over 3 years and never knew this place was 10 minutes away from me that's how small and low key this place is. read more

$6.00 for a pork sandwich, pre sauced meat out of a steam table. Hard pass. $4.00 for a tiny bit of stew. Lunch "special" was $11.00. No wonder they don't have any business at peak lunch. Place STINKS of old grease way past time to change, lack of exhaust fans, leaves the same stink on your clothes after just 3 minutes inside. Hard pass. read more

Blind Pig BBQ - the front of the restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Georgia

Another amazing place to eat in the Jackson GA area. Me, my wife and son ate here a couple of weeks ago. The food was really good. If you're in the area, stop by I don't think you'll regret it. While I didn't give this place 5 stars, I do plan to eat here again. I tend to be stingy with 5 star ratings. read more

The Blind Pig Pork sandwich is stuffed with tender, juicy meat and though the accompanying Stew wasn't particularly appealing visually, or aromatically it all tasted great. Initially, I did regret foregoing the Home-made Chocolate Pie dessert ... Then I watched the movie "The Help". read more

Very good bbq but the Brunswick stew has gotten runny but still very good. Take cash because they charge more for credit cards. Don't blame them, the credit cards are taking part of their profits. read more

Happened to be in the area and we're considering Fresh Air BBQ when a friend suggested Blind Pig was better. So, we checked it out and I'm so glad we did. Amazing BBQ even if I am from NYC. I've done my fair share of exploring in NYC, a number of places around Asheville, NC and random places on the east coast. This place did not do anything poorly. The pulled pork and ribs were nicely smoky and not greasy. Great taste not too much sauce on the ribs. Choices of BBQ sauce 3: sweet (not my type) hot and some sort of xtra hot (but had a different name which is escaping me right now). I'm not one to add much BBQ sauce and I didn't think it needed it but the extra hot starts a little sweet and sneaks up on ya though I'll say it doesn't stay with you which is really nice. All of the sides were rocking. The home fries were discs of potato fried to perfection and just enough salt. Cole slaw was chopped which is not my preference but had a great flavor, just enough sweetness. The baked beans had lots of pork at least three types of beans and were the perfect balance of savory and a touch of sweet. Finally the Stew was amazing my girlfriend said best she's ever had, I don't have a lot of experience with it so I had nothing to compare it to. The drinks we had included the rosemary lemon aide which I will say when I poured it the color gave me pause I thought it was going to be tooth aching sweet but it was not. It was absolutely delicious though I did add a slice of lemon. My friend had the unsweetened iced tea and she was raving about how good it was. The chocolate nut pie was super yum, be warned it had coconut. As a recent convert to liking coconut I will through out that warning. Overall I would go out of my way to get BBQ here. It's out in what seemed, to this NYer, like the middle of not much. Also it got a cute set up inside with nice seating. read more

After tonight I will never eat at this place again. They have more customers than they want and they let you know by completely disregarding you. After our meal my daughter went and purchased 2 whole pickles to go. After 20 minutes I went and asked if they could get the pickles so we could leave and then an entire pickle debate ensued and the pickles became a hot potato of responsibility that nobody wanted accountability for. After another 5 minutes we still didn't have the pickles and nobody had accepted responsibility for getting the pickles so we left. They can have the pickles and we will never return to this place again. This isn't the first time I walked out of this place without the items I paid for because they just don't care to service their customers in a timely manner. I will never return again. read more

Great hole-in-the wall BBQ joint. Casual dinning. Value is good with portion size. I like their BBQ better than Fresh Air. read more

Good find Mr.Addison, good find.(Atlanta Magazine #5). Road Trip..... July 4th weekend 2010 Now, while everyone else in Atlanta is searching for their favorite couzies, arm floaties, jet ski keys, and wife beaters....my BBQ seaking a'''s headed to the southern bumble f''''k woods for a little smoked pigggy...come here piggypiggypiggy ....appropriately in Butts County.(pork butt hint hint) After driving about 40 miles, through a land filled with classic Dixie small businesses aka... yard sales, produce stands, cousin swaps, and bait shacks, I arrived at the newcomer onto the scene... Blind Pig. First, impression...looks like a classic road Que joint, a little to nice, owner's accent is dead on, no particular smells, menu is standard Georgia style, open kitchen behind order counter(traditional), 15 minutes in line---good sign---hmmmm what to order....oh yeah some smoked pig. Lunch special-$7.95 Choice Fumed Pork or Turkey Sandwhich....ummm pork Choice Stew or Beans....ummm stew Choice Slaw or Fries....ummm slaw Choice Drink.....tea This spot is the epitome of everything a classic Georgia Que place should be. If you own or intend to own a BBQ place than come here to eat, and if you are not close to being as good as these guys than shut down or don't open so I can save my f''''n' gas money....thank you very much. Everything is well seasoned...especially with black pepper...which I like, and the sauce has got some tang and heat. Cole slaw is your standard fine chop, but they make a well flavored dressing. Brunswick Stew is in the top 3 that I have ever had. The Pork sand. is your base two cheap pickles w/ sunbeam bun, but the pork and sauce make this $7.95 lunch worth all the drivin'. Oh yeah...the tea is good...if you can't make sweet tea like this don't f;;;;n;'' bother. I'm lonely...give me a rack to go, sauce on the side, beans, more slaw, and GPS coordinates home. Made it out alive before to many locals start to look at me with both their crossed eyes...but I have the comfort of ribs to guide me back to the smog. Oh yeah... these beans are perfect, the ribs deserve a review all to themselves. Praise Zeus...I have Been Blind--ed(Pig) by the the light, but I can see clearly now...please be this good or better @ your place so I can stop dissin' on the Que around these parts. amen 4.45 stars for being the base Georgia BBQ blueprint Chef Invisible--Out read more

Blind Pig BBQ - I found you - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Georgia

Should Blind Pig BBQ be mentioned with some of the best BBQ shacks in NC/SC/GATN? Probably not. Is it darn good? Yes. In Jackson, Georgia, and likely within 50 miles of here, good luck finding better. We took an extended lunch to drive out into the sticks for a chance to decide this for ourselves and are glad we did. And, if you're headed to Indian Springs State Park or Jackson Lake, a stop here is a must. Blind Pig offers very good BBQ and honestly, one of the best Brunswick stews I've tasted - and that's having eaten at more than 250 BBQ restaurants in the country (no exaggeration). The stew is the best thing going here and a must-try for everyone. Upon arrival, you'll find friendly folks awaiting your visit. Don't expect to pull in next to other restaurants, gas stations and a local Walmart. This place is a stand alone and does a great job at standing out. We sampled the smoked turkey and pulled pork, both of which were solid. I can't imagine anyone complaining. Meanwhile, the sauce wasn't the best we've ever had, which kept us from notching five-stars. As for the sides, dive into the french fries. These hand-cut potatoes hit the spot. In fact, you'll probably want to order another load of them. Just remember, there's normally homemade pie, too. Homemade is a theme here. Don't expect to eat reheated and frozen food. Go to a chain for that. read more

Got dinner to go because we had three little kids with us. I thought the stew lacked flavor but the BBQ was good and their sauce is good. My son got a corn dog and he loved it. It took them forever to make our to-go order. We waited like 30 min. We really wanted to only wait like 10 min and then be headed home. read more
