First, it is hard to find a BBQ place open on a Sunday. My husband and I were driving around…read moreHabersham County and oh my goodness. This place is AMAZING. Second, as soon as you walk in the door you feel like family. It seemed like everyone serving had a smile and were wanting to serve the customers even if it was not their specific table. Team work! Third, the food was SO SO good. We ordered a fried pickle appetizer, a combo of three meats-A FULL half of chicken, BBQ pork, and rib tips. Two sides- Fresh cut fries and Mac-n-cheese. The fried pickles were very crispy but we probably would not not get them again. I also think the ranch was bottled which I am not ever excited about. The star of the show was everything else. All the meats were moist, the smoke could stand on its own with no sauce. The fries were delicious. The mac and cheese was a little dry, but maybe it was the end of the pan. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

Liked all of mine! My kid got cheeseburger, fries, and mac and cheese, with chocolate cake to go. I got to taste the burger, which is real beef, great flavor. And the chocolate cake, wow, so good. We were lucky enough to have a sweet boy from a neighboring table take time to tell us about his toys. That was a bonus for this visit!

If you're up for a ride and craving BBQ, TB&J BBQ up in Clarksville, near Lake Burton off 197, is…read morethe place to go. This spot's a little out of the way but so worth it, especially if you love riding the roads around here. They're closed for the season after Oct. 27th but will be back around Easter, so it's one to keep in mind for next year. They've got it all: ribs, brisket, chicken, nachos, beans, slaw, and a super cheesy mac & cheese that hits the spot. Tyler and Jess, the owners, are welcoming and excited to serve up great food. There's not a lot of room to order, but grab an outdoor table and kick back while your food's on the way. You might even meet the local dog (we're calling her Bella) who loves a good belly rub and is around most of the time. Whether you're on your bike or driving through, TB&J BBQ is a top choice for great BBQ in the area.

There is so much space in the front with cornhole boards or just to hang out. When we walked In I could tell this was going to be amazing BBQ. Writing on the walls and chairs, menus board hanging on the wall and daily specials written on chalk boards. Or orders were quickly taken by a very efficient hostess the. We grabbed a seat. I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be. The place was clean and very nice. The health rating was great and it was a really nice place.

Expect a little bit of a wait but they have outdoor cornhole games and putt-putt while you wait. I'm not the biggest fan of brisket when visiting BBQ restaurants but theirs is amazing and I highly recommend it! I learned the hard way on my first visit and my son allowed me to try some of his. The sides are very simple but they compliment the BBQ. Fried okra was fresh and cooked to perfection. The jalapeño cheese grits are unbelievable and a must try! Service was a group effort by several waitresses who took good care of us. If you ever near Clemson, I would definitely make this a stop.

This has not let me down in the slightest. The greens were amazing, every time I come back to Georgia I find another amazing place to enjoy BBQ. I'll be honest they were already out of brisket, so I didn't get to try that. I did come in a bit later. But the ribs, omg so good. Helen is around the corner, so that town gets a lot of traffic... just go around the corner and you will find this spot. IMO much better food and worth the few min drive. Don't get me wrong Helen is great to visit but this bbq spot is more of a Georgia staple, not an attraction. You come here for good food. Love the Carolina style sauce too!!

We just love this place. They have had the same crew for a few years that we remember. Don't miss out on the best burger. We normally share a burger and fries but this is an exception...we get our own!!! The fries are even very good. And yes, they are probably frozen out of a bag but they just fry them like most just can't do. We also love to buy their jellies and jams. Top notch. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.

Great bbq in Helen!…read more After getting out the river we decided to stop by for lunch since they're located right across the street from Cool Rivers. We honestly had very low expectations with Helen being such a touristy town but we were def in for a treat! The staff and even locals were super sweet and friendly. My husband can make friends everywhere but one of the locals was just extra friendly this visit and made us feel very welcomed. I forget what the special was this day but we got a little of everything plus the special. They also have mini melts for the kiddos. Y'all when I say EVERYTHING was good, everything was VERY GOOD. Maybe because we had low expectations, or we were hungry, or we were influenced by the friendliness, but we were extremely surprised. Everything was seasoned well, bbq'd well, cooked well. I don't normally order chicken because of the high percentage it will be dry, but i did and the chicken was divineee. Crispy smoky skin and juicy tender meat. Very well done. Ribs, amazing. If I had to complain about anything it would be the brisket. We ordered our brisket sliced though it came sliced/shredded and could have used a little more smoke. Though still very tasty. Upon walking out the ladies up front asked how our meal was and my husband told them it was "actually good". Poor verbiage on his part, APOLOGIES!, but our expectations were so low and Flying Pig just blew us out of the park we had no words. Our whole experience was great and we would not hesitate to stop by, or recommend, the next time we are in town.

I ordered the smoked turkey with slaw and brunswick stew. The turkey was very good. The slaw decent. The brunswick stew tasted fine. But It was not the Brunswick stew I like. I like everything ground. There should not be potatoes and lima beans in it! It was a BBQ Soup. But that is my opinion on Brunswick stew! One of my sons got the Brisket Philly. He said it was good. And another ordered the chicken bacon ranch. He thought a sandwich but was a pizza. It had a ton of onions he picked off. Otherwise he liked it. Very clean dining room. Decent food. Sauce was ok. Nothing special.
