    The outside of the establishment with the vehicles is well kept. It looks kind of odd due to the fact they are scarecrows. When you walk into the location it wasn't well maintained and the staff wasn't welcoming. The location is famous for the movie Sweet Home Alabama and you'll notice old pictures of the location in the film. I and my fiancé were not sure how and if the food was cooked. The refrigerator looked disgusting and not well maintained and there were layers of dust and grime in this location. I've read previous reviews stating that this was some of the best barbecues in Georgia and I can say this food was not good at all. The pulled pork sandwich I had was simply warmed meat on a piece of bread and dry. I asked for french fries and was brought the most random box of ketchup that seem that hasn't been used in years. My fiancé felt uncomfortable and disgusted by the location of the food and it looked unsanitary. I wanted to give it a fair shot and tried the food and realized it was dry and seem like it was warmed due to the location having a barbecue I saw no stove or fryer.

    View from the inside.

    Heavy's is a experience in its self. The pulled pork was good but I had never eaten Brunswick stew and didn't really take a liking to it. (I'm used to hash with rice)The slaw was good! Inside sitting area is a little strange and could use a good cleaning but the tables were clean.

    Not impressed. I don't like giving poor reviews, but this place earns one. The place was decorated with a lot of old stuff. All of it had a super thick layer of dust. Makes you loose your appetite quickly. We had a combo platter and I didn't like anything including the sides. The ribs are boiled and stewed in sauce. The fat was not rendered and was globs of gooey tasteless mess. There was not one thing I could eat. The place has hype because a scene from a movie was filmed there. Pass this place by. Your tastebuds will thank me.

    Red Truck on the property

    Quaint little back roads stop for a warm meal. The decor inside is what you might expect and then some, decked out with taxidermy covering the walls from floor to ceiling. Places like this thrive on their regular crowd and tend to cater more to them than two random travelers; and the service and attitude of the counter clerk proves this point. Nonetheless, the food was tasty. BBQ Rib plate comes with Brunswick Stew and Coleslaw (with diced pickles ) and you can tell it has been cooked low and slow with care. Spanky, the yard dog/security system is there to greet anyone who walks up, as long as they come to him and give him pets. The old trucks outside and throughout the property are gorgeous and therefore my favorite part.

    Great bbq!! It's a great place for lunch after hunting or camping! Friendly staff and very affordable. Lots of seating and family friendly. Sweet home Alabama was filmed there and they have many interesting decorations. Great burgers, Brunswick stew and sides. Thank you!!

    Pretty awful food- very vinegary BBQ sauce, vinegary slaw. Not to mention all the dead stuffed animals looking at you.

    Great BBQ and sides in a family-friendly, comfortable setting…read more FOOD: Tasty, not fancy-just yummy. We really like the ribs, but you can't go wrong with any of the choices. SERVICE: friendly, helpful servers FACILITY: is a remodeled old car sales and service building, with old memorabilia. LOCATION: A short drive out of Athens, but worth the time and distance. So good.

    Great BBQ is made here! I had a pulled pork sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Not overly…read moresmokey, but definitely smoked pig. The meat was tender, lean, and very nicely flavored. The appear to be very careful to use only quality meat. The bun was great too. My wife commented on how much she liked it. We thought that the banana pudding was as good as we have ever eaten. The Brunswick stew is amazingly good. We took home a pint and the next evening we had it on top of rice for dinner. I think it's really good. BTW my wife doesn't like to go into many BBQ places since you can come out smelling smoked... The place is an old Chevrolet Dealership that's been very neatly turned into a nice looking restaurant. ...and it's not smokey... So on a BBQ Joint scale, the ambiance here is a 10. She was also impressed with the way the place looked. The folks who served us were as nice and friendly as anyone could expect. My wife who is really not a fan of eating BBQ outside of our house, actually suggested that we take the convertible out and drive over for BBQ sometime. It's an hour drive, so that indicates how much she enjoyed the place.
