I had the bbq sandwich and it was very good. I had the home fries, stew and baked beans as well. The stew was alright, however, the home fries and the baked beans were amazing. I definitely recommend getting them if you go here. The ribs looked really good so I'm probably gonna try them next. read more

The fella and I are working our way through Atlanta Magazine's top five Atlanta area barbecue spots, and at #5, The Blind Pig was our first stop. The barbecue at The Blind Pig is worth the drive. Their ribs are quite tender and deliciously meaty, their sauces are delicious, and the smokey flavor of all their offerings is spot on. For the classics of Southern barbecue, pork ribs, brunswick stew, chopped pork sandwiches, the Blind Pig is a 4 star establishment in my book. A solid 4. But The Blind Pig has earned an extra special place in my heart, because I love Thanksgiving. This point may sound weird, but it is key to this review, so I need to level with you. I love Thanksgiving. I love it so much, that I seek out Thanksgiving-like entrees throughout the year. I am a summer baby, born in July, and for years on my birthday, in the heat of summer, I would ask for Thanksgiving for dinner. I love turkey, the classic sides and pie. The smoked turkey at The Blind Pig is without peer. It is so delicious it will haunt you. Its flavor is mesquite and lingering, its texture is perfectly yielding and moist. For the turkey alone this place would get 5 stars in my book, but the Pig has even more gems to offer. Homemade pie is readily available- pie with buttery crusts in delicious flavors (for instance chocolate cherry). These are the magical country pies you always seek out at roadside diners but seldom find. The Pig also does some of the best baked beans I've ever experienced, not-too-sweet and a little spicy with delicious smoked sausages bits sitting among three kinds of beans. You must go, like-minded Atlantans, and seek The Blind Pig out. The 40 mile drive feels like an quest, and the feasting at the end feels like a just reward. I've already called the place to reserve my smoked turkey for Thanksgiving. read more

Ever like to get in the car and take a road trip with food as the destination? Consider driving out to Blind Pig BBQ. The first time I go to any BBQ place I have to get the pork plate with a side of stew. Blind Pig did not disappoint. The portions were generous for the price. I thought the sauce was good. There was a bit more smoke flavor in the meat than other places I've tried in the area. The service was friendly, and it wasn't too crowded the afternoon I went so I talked a little college football with the staff while finishing up eating (but not with my mouth full). The place seems bigger than I would have guessed when looking at it from the outside. I think if folks from out of town come for a visit wanting good Georgia BBQ, I'm taking them to Blind Pig. read more

The Blind Pig has some of the best BBQ I have ever had in my life. I want to live my life at this restaurant. I will get married here, and have kids here, and welcome my grandchildren here, and then die happy and full of pulled pork. So yeah, it's worth the drive. The stew and home fries are fantastic, and they have BBQ chicken on Sundays. I am not a ribs person, but I have witnessed people go into rib-induced feeding frenzies, so they must be good. If you're not into pork, the barbecue turkey is a tasty alternative. read more

These might be the best ribs I've ever eaten. The stew was very good was the slaw. I will be back and try more. The rosemary lemonade wasn't my thing...but it was interesting. This place is an absolute gem. read more

Yes, it hit the spot! Great fall of the bone ribs. Highlights: Ribs are perfectly seasoned and cooked, Generous portions, Friendly staff and a decent sized dinning area, Quick service and help yourself peanuts bucket. Can improve: Their half rack is $15 and a full rack is $19, the pricing doesn't seem to make much sense. They maybe have a quarter rack option plate that comes with 2 sides? Also, apart from their ribs, I have tried everything else on the menu and the only other thing I like are the beans. Benchmark: Great BBQ but limited to ribs. I have a had Fat Matt's in downtown and these come very close in quality and taste. But Fat Matt's has great sides so I will have to go with them on an overall score. Ordered take out multiple times since Aug 2015 and will keep coming back form more. read more

Off the beaten track, a little over an hour outside of Atlanta. Perhaps can be considered a hole in the wall. Decor is minimal, but it is relatively spacious and comfortable. Once your close, you can't miss the place. It's the building with the blind pig on it. I arrived here late morning and was bummed to find out they were out of ribs! DOH! I tried some of their other dishes. The pulled pork, baked beans, and stew were all pretty good. And this place was cheap too. Really, really good value. I can't wait to go back and try me some ribs! read more

First of all, it's NOT where the GPS or yelp mapping thinks it is, so watch for the signs. Then just for fun I guess, there's no sign at the last turn. We drove 30 minutes out of our way because of the five star review of this place. Certainly not deserving of five stars! They do not have chicken, nor do they have any kind of beef or brisket. They do have a chicken special on Sundays, but we were not there on Sunday. So pork sandwich it was, and not the best I ever had, not even close. My wife had a turkey breast which actually wasn't that good and we don't believe it was even freshly prepared. Putting a plain piece of white bread on the plate next to turkey breast isn't exactly our idea of what barbecue should be. The place is clearly in need of an overhaul. No idea when the last time was the Decour was updated, and I don't mind antique Decour, but it was just dirty. I still gave it two stars because the sides weren't bad and I actually like the Brunswick stew which had a bunch of meat in it and was very good. Also the sliced potatoes that were fried like french fries were very good as well. Definitely wouldn't drive 30 minutes out of my way again to go to this place. read more

We had the lunch special (pulled pork sandwich) with round cut home fries and stew. Everything was delicious and served hot. Will be back!

I have returned here several times just to have the spare ribs and stew. The ribs are a work of art. I had to preorder some to serve the relatives at Christmas (I didn't want the relatives swooning in public!) We ended up freezing the leftover ribs which were then carefully packed in ice to return to SF with a son. He has since phoned to have me figure out how to supply him regularly (FEDEX here I come!) This is a blind pig that knows what it is doing! I have also had the beans and they are excellant. Still have not been able to make it to the desserts, which still look wonderful. read more

The boyfriend lives right now the road from here. We ate here for lunch on saturday. He had eaten here before but he wanted me to try it. I had the pulled pork plate with fries and cole slaw. he had pulled pork with slaw and baked beans. He was really wanting me to try the rosemary lemonade. He got a class and I had a sip. It was pretty tasty. I also tried his baked beans and they were delicious. I could have eaten the whole thing. cole slaw was allright and the pork was YUMMY!!! read more

My favorite barbecue place in Jackson! Never disappoints! love their Rosemary lemonade & they have the best pulled turkey.

We come from oregon to visit family. This is a must when we come here. Amazing food highly recommended.

Not since the long-ago Stodghill's barbecue in Jenkinsburg (which burned down many decades ago) have I tasted such honestly smoked and delicious pulled pork, not to mention a unique brunswick stew incorporating both pork and turkey and rivaling any I have ever tasted. Fresh Air gets more press but the barbecue at Blind Pig is demonstrably better, and all you have to do is taste it once to know this. The pulled pork is served without sauce so you can taste the smoky depths before deciding how much of what sauce you may want to add. The dine-in experience is relaxing and cordial, and the takeout options are plentiful. The sides are not afterthoughts, rather the result of love, especially the beans. Pricing is great especially considering the mind-numbing amount of *work* required to make good 'cue. The young staff are the furthest thing from sulking cellphone zombies, instead engaging customers in non-scripted, upsell-free conversation and helpful gestures seldom found in restaurants today. Do not miss any opportunity whenever you are within an hour's drive of Blind Pig BBQ, to stop by and stock up on their peerless product. read more

I went to buy take out turkey and coleslaw. Upon getting home- found coleslaw sour, and meat had bad taste. Threw food out, and do not think I will be going back. read more

This was my third visit to the Blind Pig. Every time I go, it's just as good. Great bbq, and nice spicy sauces to go with it! One of my favorite spots to eat when in the area. read more

From the moment I arrived I had a good feeling about Blind Pig. Nice rural location with the great smoky smells you would expect from a real bbq restaurant. Friendly staff and a simple menu with just a few fresh options. I ordered ribs and sides of beans, home fries, and slaw. The ribs were FANTASTIC! Just what I was hoping for. The same could be said for the slaw and baked beans. I ordered takeout and the wait time was reasonable. I'll probably call ahead next time. Rosemary Lemonade was different. My wife wasn't a fan of it but I thought it was very good. Overall I will definitely be back. Little too far away for us to make it a weekly stop but close enough for when I have a bbq craving. Looking forward to trying the smoked chicken (only available on Sunday's). Great job! read more

This place has some really good BBQ. The sauce is flavorful, and the beans and home style fries were really good as well. Well worth the drive from Griffin. read more

Some of the best around, Now my #1 Favorite since the Mad Dog in Conyers Retired. I travel around Georgia Quite a bit as a field agent.. Cant testify much about anything here but the pork sandwich because that's all I usually get anywhere because I'm usually on the Go.. If I'm on the Motorcycle I'll hang outside in the Shade . It's Nice that they sell Beer so I don't feel weird drinking my Yellow/Amber Coke in the Parking lot while enjoying my Pulled Pork Sandwich ;) read more

Came here based on other Yelp reviews with wife and child. Time was 11:30 am (Wednesday) and it was pretty empty so plenty of tables to choose from. Sandwiches were nicely priced. The rosemary lemonade was awesome and the fantastic reviews on the smoked turkey were not exaggerated. I feel the pork sandwich was average. I normally eat pork but not anymore. Give me the turkey! read more

Among the best ribs I've ever had. Stew and home fries were both excellent. Well worth your drive.

The food is good but you never know when the place is open. We have been there 4 or 5 different times and were only able to eat there twice. Finally we gave up going because then the hours sign on the door said they should have been open but they weren't open. read more

My gf and I along with her son stopped into this place today to try it out for the first time. We were not disappointed at all. We both had the pulled pork plate (mine with fries and stew, and hers with slaw and beans). The BBQ was absolutely delicious!!! We both really enjoyed the slaw (and we don't care for anyones slaw). Stew was excellent and very flavorful. Beans were standard and the fries were pretty good. The little one got a hot dog and even that was really good too (yes we had to try it as well). Sweet tea was pretty good too. The staff was super friendly and service was quick. It was kinda out of the way to get to the place but once there we could see how they stay in business. Will absolutely be going back to try the ribs next time. read more

Delicious!! The young people that work in there are so good to you. Sweet, sweet boys. Great BBQ atmosphere and the food is amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place. I am not much for BBQ but I love me some smoked turkey! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Home made desserts are mouth watering and are always fresh. Prices are cheap. If you want ribs or chicken, recommended getting there early. While it's off the beaten path, it is completely worth it! read more

On my way down to Disney we stopped here and I could not have been more impressed with the place. It was a little bit out of the middle of no where, but I saw they had good reviews on Yelp so I took a chance. The place just looks cool. It is set up nicely for a BBQ joint. I got a full rack of ribs with two sides and my wife got a pulled pork platter with two sides. The prices were under what I would expect for the quality of everything we had. The first thing we had was a rosemary lemonade that was absolutely delicious. It sounds like a weird combo, but it was outrageously good. My ribs were outstanding. Perfect amount of smoke and super tender. The home fries are great and seasoned well. The Brunswick stew was great as well. Never had this before being from up north and I really liked it. I tried my wife's pulled pork and it was great. She even got a piece of coconut pie that was outstanding. Literally everything we had here was outstanding. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. I could not recommend this place more to anyone. If I am in this area again I will make it a point to go here again. read more

Good BBQ! The ribs are outstanding and one of my favorite oink joints. Will definitely visit again!

We eat a lot of bq all over. Was just avg to us. We had ribs and pulled pork. I didnt care for the baked beans at all. Service was quick and friendly. Nice little spot. Serves beer and has small patio. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place! We had rehearsal dinner here for a barn wedding close by. The food was FABULOUS! and service can't be beat. Kathy and Ron (owners) were very helpful in setting up exactly what we needed. Kathy even took the time to help me decorate our room, with a friend's help...YOU GOTTA TRY THIS PLACE!!!! You will fall in love with the quaint intimate atmosphere and decor...and will love the BBQ! read more

We've just moved to Covington from Fayetteville and the Blind Pig is our new to go BBQ. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The bbq, Brunswick stew, beans, and chips are some of the best I've had. The atmosphere is also very warm and inviting and don't forget to munch on the free roasted peanuts while you wait!! Great place!! read more

Excellent service and food, worth the hour drive from Atlanta. Ribs were cooked perfectly, wet with great sauce. Baked beans just right and very good stew. Even had a slice of homemade key lime pie to finish it off. I will be going back soon. read more

A friend who has a house on Jackson Lake recommended this place so I decided to give it a try. The pork sandwich was very good but the brunswick stew is GREAT. It truly may be the best brunswick stew I've ever had - well, except for the stew my grandmother used to make years ago. My friend says their beans are the best ever, and I'll take her word for that. This place is a real find! read more

The food is good. The price is a little high. The service is sloooooooooow! I would give this place 5 stars but the service is so slow that it knocks off two stars for me. I cannot eat here if I only have 30 minutes to eat. During busy times it can take 30 - 45 minutes just to get the food to the table. During slow times it can take 7 - 15 minutes. read more

My family's been here a number of times. The food has always been good and plentiful. The hours vary by season so it's hard to tell when it's actually open. The price should have 2 $ signs though since most menu items are between $5-$10 and with a family of 3 that can add up. The restaurant is clean and the tables and chairs are not all crammed into 2 rooms plus you can eat out on the deck. There are tv's for sports and to keep the kids entertained. Overall a very good restaurant made better because it's close to home. read more

A great place to eat barbecue. The only draw back they tend to run out of chicken before 4 on Sunday's. Love the ribs and they give you enough pulled pork for 2 people. There sides are delicious, there Cole slaw s to die for!!! read more

Great family BBQ restaurant. Ribs, pulled pork and all the fixings are all delicious. Staff is great and they deliver you food in good time. Great choice if you have been on the lake or hanging out in Jackson. read more

This is the best bbq I have EVER tasted. The sauce is a little sweet like I prefer it. The home fries are fantastic. I live in the area and I have to keep myself from stopping in every day. The only things that need a little attention are; the fact that they may or may not be open when you expect them to be and it takes quite a few minutes to just walk in and order a bbq and fries. Worth it though! read more

I'm lucky to live 10 mins from here , Have eaten here a dozen or so times and haven't had a bad plate yet . Oh Boy those ribs are CHOICE!!! Just be prepared to wait because I don't think they are as prepared for how popular they've gotten. read more

Went after reading Atlanta Magazine's review and don't regret it. True, it is off the beaten path, but worth the drive. The ribs are smoky and flavorful and barely need sauce. The beans are non vegetarian and delicious. The thinly sliced chips are perfect. Our group didn't try the stew nor pulled meats-another reason to go back, right? read more

Best barbecue in Jackson, one of the best barbecue restaurants in Georgia. The stew, pulled pork, and turkey are incredible. The service is always excellent, and the young workers in the kitchen are always good conversation. Don't go to Jackson without trying Blind Pig!! read more
