The staff are always polite and helpful with their menu. The restaurant is not large but it has enough room for large groups and celebration parties. Keep up the great job SMM!

Nice counter folks. Dirty, especially far right as you enter some scary refrigerated areas. Bbq…read moresauce overly sweet, great flavor. Meat was clearly from a steam table. Any outside bark had been steamed into soft bits. Cheapest, weakest bun possible, not toasted or grilled, didn't hold up to the grease and liquids that dropped out of the meat. Brunswick looked good visually, but tasted like paprika or chili powder vinegar water. Runny, simply unpleasant to eat. Macaroni and cheese has some green herb all in it. "Cheese" sauce might be generous. Hard fail. Only took a second bite to try to identify their herbal folly. All in all, hard pass.

You go to a Meat Market for exceptionally tender and flavorful meat. Ferguson's is a must stop. We…read morehad the filet mignon, cooked ours medium rare, it sliced like butter and tasted heavenly. In addition to a case full of delicious looking meat, Ferguson's also has an impressive selection of condiments. Don't forget to pick up their beefsteak tomatoes and of course their peach pie.

My wife and I came out to North GA BBQ & Oyster Bar and honestly... we went all in. It felt like we…read moreordered half the menu just to try everything--and it was worth it. Let's start with the appetizers. The hush puppies are a must. They come with a hot honey glaze on top, and that combo is ridiculously good. Sweet, crispy, and just packed with flavor. The fried okra was something I've never had before. No breading--just split in half and fried as-is. Super unique and honestly really good. If you like okra, you've gotta try it this way. For sandwiches, my wife had the pig melt, which is their take on a pulled pork sandwich on Texas toast. The pork was tender, juicy, and stacked nicely, definitely a solid choice. I had the BBQuban, their BBQ twist on a Cuban sandwich, and it was excellent. Great flavor, well put together, and something a little different from the usual. The meats across the board were done right. The turkey was tender and served in big, thick slices. The brisket had a good bark and paired well with their BBQ sauce. Sides were all solid. The mac and cheese was creamy (I added a little salt and it was perfect for me), baked beans were flavorful, and the collard greens were on point. And the banana pudding... easily one of the best I've had in the North Georgia area. If you're going here, don't skip it. The space itself is fun with a bar area, and the service was great. Everyone was friendly, and the food came out fast. Parking is available right out front, but just make sure you scan the code and register your tag so you don't get ticketed. You can also park in nearby decks if you prefer. Overall, this is a strong BBQ spot in Gainesville. Great variety, solid execution, and definitely worth checking out.
