Me and my fiancé traveled up to Blue Ridge Mountain for the first time so we wanted to try a barbecue place. This was the first place that we saw. We walked in and the lady that was there welcomed us with open hands. She was very sweet. very patient with us as we were looking at all of the menu options. As we're deciding what to eat, one of the cooks gave us a sample of some smoked chicken salad and I will say that was a 10 out of 10. After that, we got some sliced brisket, spicy sausage, baked beans, tater tots. Y'all I'm not even joking. This was the best barbecue I've had. The sliced brisket wasn't that seasoned however, when I mix it with everything else, it was perfect and complemented the entire meal very well. This is a great starter barbecue place if you're new to barbecue and I definitely will be coming back read more

Service was good order at the counter, BBQ themed restaurant, clean & well decorated. Wish I could say the same for the food, I ordered B stew, pulled pork samich, stew was like wet mush with no flavor, pulled pork, moist but zero flavor. Wife had a burger, dry, no flavor. Ice tea & fries were good. Sorry, just can't recommend this establishment. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but felt the need to warn others. Adult plates are kids meal size portions. I wish I would have taken a picture! We chose the two meat plate, the bbq wasn't even enough for a sandwich. The side of beans was in a tiny sauce cup, and we got only a few corn nuggets. We could have had a better meal at McDonald's. It felt like we got samples of what an actual plate should have been. The food also wasn't good. Left feeling super sad and ripped off. read more

Nice quick bite to eat downtown Blue Ridge. The workers were very nice and quick with our food. The place was small, but still had several tables. I got the pulled pork sandwich. It had a lot of meat I would definitely go back. read more

I agree with the other reviews. Overpriced, dry meat. Very disappointing. We would recommend finding somewhere else to eat. read more

Visited this BBQ last week, and I have to say April, the owner is a sweetheart of a lady. Southern hospitality at its finest. We ordered the ribs, which were fantastic. Please note that the ribs are not slathered in barbecue sauce. All homemade BBQ sauces are offered on the side. I really appreciate BBQ that isn't covered in sauce, kinda lets you know you're getting a quality product not bathed in a sauce. I also appreciate the fact that everything is made fresh in-house every day. I would recommend this establishment if you're in the area. read more

Place did not have much seating, and the food was pretty good, but it had the best toasted buns I've ever had read more

Food is ok, but prices are ridiculous. Can drinks and juice boxes from Sam's for $3 No wonder the place was completely empty at noon while the place down the street without parking was FULL read more

We sat on the front porch - just lovely Great Food - friendly counter service, no table side service - Ribs were fantastic, Brunswick stew was mouthwatering, The only thing I did not like is that the greens were very spicy and they did not notate that on the menu. Other things that were spicy and they told you. I do NOT do spicy . Would absolutely go back and just not order greens read more

Food was pretty average, and the prices were a little high. Definitely better places to go to

If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I would! We have been going to this establishment for the past 15years! 1st of all it is under new ownership! Owner is not friendly @ all! Former owners were AMAZING! She seemed very spaced out while trying to take our order! We received our food which was subpar! Now portions are much smaller, price is higher...a side of mac and cheese (which was mostly water) was $4.00. Before new ownership the bbq, Smoked chicken salad, fried pickle spears & corn nuggets were a must have on our multiple mountain trips every year! Once we received our food my daughter attempted to use the squeeze bottle of barbecue sauce when the entire bottle top ruptured and barbecue sauce went everywhere on all of us! No help was offered, someone removed the bottle during our chaos of going to the bathroom to try and wash off the disaster which was everywhere! I approached the new owner and suggested that some help would have been a nice gesture...her response was "I was busy" WTH...there was no one there but us @ that moment! WOW...we will NEVER stop here ever again! Don't waste a trip the food and service were TERRIBLE! The new owner is a disgrace read more

Sunday night and most places were closed. This was the only option available and we should have listened to the kids and gotten pizza. First, we walked inside to order but there were people online and no one had a mask on. Another place that thinks COVID isn't real. So we walked out and went to the drive thru. The girl at the window was nasty and very little customer service skills. We said we just were visiting and asked what she recommended. Her response was "Whatever you like". Ok so we ordered ribs and Barbecue beef. Asked what sides were available and she said to look at the screen. Ribs were dry and sauce was just ok. Beans were good. Barbeque beef plate was just ok. The food was overcooked and had no flavor. So sad, really wanted some good ribs. Should have read the reviews first. read more

We went here and thought it was going to be good. But we were sure wrong. When we got there hardly anyone was there, and service took forever. After waiting around 30 minutes we placed our order. The food prices were outrageous. Also the food came in small portions. The food was terrible It all came from dollar general. The food was very cold as well. The bad macaroni was 4 dollars for the smallest portion of macaroni ever. If you are looking for somewhere good to eat, do not eat here. And save your money and time. read more

When Bob owned it was very good. Now just terrible. Prices are absurd. Go to Carrolls by the Ingles, or Mike's next door if Carrolls is closed read more

The place was clean and empty when entering . Unfortunately thats where the good things stop. The food was absolutely not worth the price and barley edible. It was So expensive too for the little food you get. All of our plates were cold, flavorless and dry. I ordered the pulled pork and it resembled wood-shavings. The sauce helped a tad(picture attatched). The sides were mediocre but at least they were kinda warm but were pretty grocery store frozen sides. Overall no effort put into serving decent food even when you are the only customers they get in the last hour. read more

My wife and I eat out a lot, and this could be one of the worst barbecue meals I have ever eaten. It was overpriced and sparse the full order of fries looked like it was a third full. The ribs were overdone. The sampler platter look like a kids meal. I am usually generous with my reviews and look for the good in things so the best thing I can say about this restaurant is you would highly enjoy it if you never went! This is less of a review and more of a warning stay clear!! unfortunately to post this review I had to give it at least one star they don't deserve that read more

Very disappointing. We tried it a couple of years ago. it was okay. We try to vary our restaurant choices to spread our help to local businesses. We both had the brisket plate. $48 for two with soft drinks and a tip. brisket was so tough we couldn't cut it with the plastic utensils. Tried picking up slices. Very tough and chewy. Almost inedible. Sides of slaw and fries seemed like prepackaged items. Collards and okra were good. We won't go back. Brisket next door at Mike's Trackside has been excellent each time we've had it. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the 1/2 rack and tater tots. Ribs were fresh and Smokey. Very happy and I'm hard to please when it comes to bbq. Brought the family back for dinner. Loaded tots were great and chicken salad was so good we brought 2 pounds home. Service was spot on. Very polite and helpful. Out door pet friendly, covered deck for out door seating which was perfect for us. read more

The food was prepared well due to a influx of business they where out of ribs, & chicken tenders. My wife had the open baked potato, our friends had the pork Sandwiches which where Good. Sweet tea was delicious & fresh, I had the bbq chicken which was cooked well & had a good flavor Of being smoked. I had the onion rings which where tasty . The sweet tea was fresh. Everyone enjoyed there food. read more

I never review restaurants but felt the need to on this one. Just spent $64 for a family of 4 to eat, with only the kids getting drinks. Way over priced for what you get. I asked the server if they messed up and gave us kid sizes on the side items. Nope - just half the size you would normally get at a regular restaurant. The bbq was not horrible but not the best either. The sides were not that great, baked beans were hard and Mac and cheese tasted like out of a box. If you want good bbq I would recommend Carrolls in Blue Ridge or Biguns in Talking Rock. Today was a disappointment stopping here to try something new. Spent too much to still be hungry- ouch! read more

Blue Ridge Mountain Bar-B-Q - The size of side items - Barbeque Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

We have eaten here multiple times and always ordered the smoked chicken salad. This time I ventured out and got the smoked sausage with onions and peppers. Well at least that's what I ordered and paid for it 45 minutes later I got smoked sausage with NO peppers or onions. It was ok. Along with this plate I got undercooked fries and canned beans with BBQ dumped in it. Wife got the chicken salad and it was good as always. The banana pudding set off a 30 minute discussion about what proper banana pudding is and what it is not. What she got was banana flavor pudding which she described as tasteless and fake. There are a lot of great places in North Georgia to eat and this is not hugest on the list. read more

Driving into Blue Ridge we needed food after a long drive from Florida. We were in the Mood for BBQ since we passed so many place on the way into town but wanted something close to our cabin. A few BBQ places are closed several days of the week so we found this one open and we went for it. Pulling up the lot was empty we thought could be a bad sign or perhaps just later during the weekday we had missed the rush. My Husband ordered the pulled pork with toast and 2 sides ($9.99) with fried okra and Mac and cheese. Pulled pork is OK not the best not the worst. We will search out better during our trip. The m&c didn't look appealing- but was flavorful and creamy! Also the fried okra was on point! I got the smoked chicken salad on lettuce with crackers (or toast if you choose) YUM! I would definitely go back do the chicken salad and sides! They have a container out to sample and that sold me on it so kudos for free samples to entice! They had a counter with mild, sweet and hot BBQ sauce and a mild white and red hot North Carolina vinegar sauce. No frill seating inside and out. Customer service needs some major work. I took off 2 stars- one that the BBQ at a BBQ restaurant was OK not amazing and the customer service was non existent. read more

This place was kind of a let down after tasting the smoked chicken salad sample in the lobby of the restaurant. I should've ordered it. Instead my foolish butt ordered the chicken tenders which were soooooo dry and the macaroni and cheese which tasted more of a nacho cheese than a regular cheddar cheese. The pasta salad was dry as well and tasted days old. The bbq sauce however was delicious and I used a half of a bottle on the chicken tenders alone lol. Sorry but look elsewhere in Blue Ridge if you are trying bbq in the area. read more

Cute little place. Clean. Friendly staff. My favorite is the smoked chicken salad sandwich. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich which was really good even without sauce. Wasn't fatty or greasy. The bun had a nice little crisp on the inside. It is a little pricy but the food was so good that we didn't care. read more

Brought my husband here after 15 years of not having been in... nothing has changed since I was just a kid. The chicken salad is the same and wonderful and the pig is still out front! He was very happy and understands why I've been begging him to drive from over an hour away for the last four years. He is very excited to take our kiddo here when COVID starts to decline. I was very happy to be back!! read more

Definitely would not return- the reviews are right that say most things lacked flavor - we wondered if maybe they were out of salt and/or any spices back in the kitchen. The fries tasted like frozen grocery store fries, barbecue was lackluster & had no depth to it, mac & cheese truly the worst we've ever tried... just overall would recommend going elsewhere!! read more

Food was a bit disappointing for what they charge. Portions are small and both the brisket and pork sandwiches were dry and lacking much flavor. The sauce choices that were provided didn't include a spicy choice. Bush's baked beans from the can had more flavor. read more

Stopped by for late lunch/early dinner after recent white water rafting in the area. Very small location, and very busy. 3 or 4 tables inside and more on the front porch. You walk up the window inside to order, then take a seat and wait for your meal. The wait was a bit long, maybe 10-15 minutes to serve up our group of 6. I started with an order of fried pickles. They are the pickle spears, not the chips and are served with a side of ranch for dipping. The pickles were still a bit cold inside. For my entree, I ordered a Chicken BBQ sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. The chicken was thinly sliced, smoked white meat on a toasted bun. There are three types of BBQ sauces available to serve yourself at the condiment station. The sandwich was ok, nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was good, but very small side portion. It was OK for me, but nothing special. read more

I'm prettty sure I just overdosed on sweet tea- and I'm kinda ok with it. Ok so hubs and I both ordered sandwiches- I went for the beef and he got the chicken. Being from Florida we had some high expectations for BBQ in Georgia and came here despite the negative Yelp ratings since this is the only BBQ place we could find open on a Sunday. My BBQ beef sandwich was really dry and stringy and the mac and cheese was a little too milky and not enough cheesy. My husband's chicken sandwich had to be the most disgusting thing ever- poor guy had a bite and we left. He did have chips as a side item and they were by far the best food item we ordered- fresh, salty, and made in house. If I came back it'd only be to sugar load off the tea. read more

The worst Brisket I've ever had. I've had well done steaks that were better. The sides were ok and the ribs were edible but not good. I won't be back. read more

Ignore the bad reviews, I'm glad I did! This is great quality bbq. We ordered the whole chicken and brisket and it was better than most barbecue I've had. Everything else we had-- their sauces, coleslaw, Brunswick stew, and deserts were also amazing. My family just purchased a place in Blue Ridge, so this will definitely become a regular spot. read more

Very small place with very slow service. The food is ok but definitely not worth the wait. Sausage was good and also pulled pork.

I come in from San Diego to visit family and this is always outlet first stop. Corn nuggets and fried pickles will change your life. Smoked chicken salad is a great choice and they always have samples. Drive through now which is super convenient. read more

One of the only places open in town when we were looking for a late lunch on Sunday. Not sure why it only has 3 stars because this place was amazing! The service was really great as well and the woman taking our order could not have been better. The food had a good smoky flavor but not too overpowering, just right. The selection of sauces were tasty as well. We got the ribs and the half chicken. Would definitely recommend the half chicken not the sliced chicken. Try the fried corn nuggets too, they were really good. Overall this was a great find and is definitely underrated. Don't let the 3 stars scare you away, this is a solid 4-5 star bbq place! read more

There was zero seasoning on the ribs, pork, and chicken we were served. Not even salt and pepper on any meat! The mac/cheese was runny and flavorless. Best food item we had was collard greens--at a meat-centric restaurant. They had the foresight to tape on the counter a list of menu items they didn't have; however, it did not include the smoked half-chicken I ordered, so they served me bland sliced chicken breast instead. I had no interest in eating that, so they served me about a pound of "minced" (not pulled) roast pork. After a few bites and added sauces, I gave up on the whole meal. What a waste of $40 for 2 people to have lunch (including iced teas and tip)! Blah! read more

We ate lunch there on a Tuesday afternoon. There were no other people dining in the restaurant. We ordered the plate for two and got chicken and barbecue pork, with french fries, corn fritters, mac and cheese, and onion rings. The barbecue was really weird as they served it completely chopped up in very small pieces. It came with two pieces of garlic bread, but when you share the meal, each person gets one piece, so you can make a half of a pork sandwich. The rest you had to eat with a spoon because it was chopped up so small. The chicken was very bland and had very little smoked flavor. The onion rings were over cooked and very standard size, like frozen. The corn fritters had no taste other than the corn and fried batter. The Mac and Cheese was literally cheap boxed, power Kraft Mac and Cheese. It was actually runny like the boxed kind. The French fries were Kringle fries and pretty standard tasting. We also got the banana pudding. It was canned pudding with vanilla wafers on top. No bananas mixed in the pudding. The people working there were extremely friendly and that is why I've given the restaurant two stars. Very disappointing. We can not recommend this restaurant and won't be back. read more

Please keep your Yelp page updated. It says it's closed today but obviously it's not. I drove by and decided to try a new BBQ joint. I'm surprised as to the low rating cause the food is actually pretty good. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

First time here. Visited while on vacation. The menu selection is pretty good. With only a handful of customers, our food was ready in less than 10-minutes. Visiting from South Carolina, while the BBQ was tasty it wasn't what we are used to back home. Our friends from Ohio thought it was really good. Biggest disappointment was not being able to enjoy a glass of beer with our meal. read more

We tried this place on a Sunday afternoon. Looks good on the outside and nice on the inside, buy their food needs some work. Everyone's bbq was very dry and the smoke flavor was overpowering. The Mac and cheese was flavorless and they were out of fried okra. We burped it all up for hours. read more
