Just found this BBQ restaurant today and OMG is everything amazing! We liked the folksy vibe and the comfortable atmosphere. We were a group of 5, and everyone was happy with their meal. I had the ODB Brisket sandwich and the brisket was just divine! All the toppings- house pimento cheese, pickled red onion, and white BBQ sauce, blended well with the sliced brisket. My husband had the chicken sandwich and was very happy with how tender the chicken was. We each had a side and shared them. I had the Street corn esquite style and my husband chose the mac n cheese. Both were very tasty! We were enjoying eating our sandwiches so much that I forgot to take pictures of them! We were full (stuffed). BUT, Cora, who was running the place, making sure everything was in order and served promptly, told us about her specialty margaritas and made us one. Wow, was it DELICIOUS! We wanted it spicy so it came locked and loaded with jalapeño infused tequila and tajin on the rim. With the nice foam layer on the top and the combination of every ingredient in the cocktail, along with the presentation, just blew us away! 100% YUMMY! There are other variations to choose from too. We HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for those who love bbq and definitely recommend it to those who don't know yet if they like bbq but want to try and see what it's about. 6 stars out of 5 for a great lunch or dinner! read more

The best BBQ in Glynn Co. I finally went to Hootenanny's this weekend, I have been missing out. I have thought for 20 years that Gary Lee's had the best BBQ here but they slide in to 2nd place, barely. The Texas Twinkie is awesome and their ribs might be the best I've had anywhere. The brisket rub was a little too salty for my taste and the bark was a little bitter, but I'm nitpicking. Could have just been off a little this weekend or because it was take-out. The red BBQ sauce is unique and very tasty, a little heat, a little sweet, and vinegar tang. The vibe is also cool. I will definitely be back! read more

We have heard about Hootenanny's for some time and decided to try it out. It was amazing. Probably the best brisket we have ever had. We will be repeat customers for sure! read more

First of all I spent 3 months in Dallas TX for work and have been through all the BBQ you can think of. This place genuinely blew all of that out of the water. Amazing brisket, ribs.... I Mean it falls off the BONE! If you are in the area and want some good high quality bbq go there Will be coming there again soon. :) read more

Easily as good a brisket taco as I have ever eaten or even spent 14 hours making myself. I live in San Antonio when not on Saint Simons Island and I kinda know my way around both Brisket and Mexican Food. Plus, I'm a fat guy so when I tell you it's good, I know what I'm Talking about. Service is great and the Ambiance is way nicer than the usual BBQ Joint off the beaten path. read more

Food service and ambiance Great, PRICES Crazy.....can find bbq just as good for a more reasonable cost.

I Had the brisket sandwich. Hubby had chicken sandwich. Very good. We usually go out on Fridays to a sit down restaurant where you get served by a waitress, this is more of a sandwich to go place. Got a menu and ordered drinks, then go up to order when you're ready. Food was served in a cardboard box so that you could take it if you wanted. Bbq sauce very good. Self serve water. It's cute. Cole slaw was good, corn was very good. A good lunch spot or sandwich to go. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good luck to the proprietor's!!! read more

Wow! This BBQ is amazing! Restaurant was recommended to us. We walked in and the couple sitting at the table said, it's so good! So, we sat and ordered. Brisket, nana's slaw and Mac n cheese were my hands down favorites. We also really enjoyed the pulled pork, Brunswick stew, street corn and potato salad. Wait staff were super friendly. Great music playing. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. Great place! read more

I'm not from Georgia , and not a fan of BBQ but let me tell you about this restaurant! The best BBQ hands down ! Decided to try it as it was recommended from a friend that lives here locally , the restaurant itself is cute , looks like your aunties house , small and quaint , some live music in the back of the restaurant. The food 10/10 . Stop by and support them ! They are worth it read more

Nice out-of-the-way location. Good food, varied menu. We recommend both the restaurant and its location.

SO. GOOD. We just happened to find Hootenanny's in a quick google search and we're so happy we did. Some of the food items might sound a little different or unique but every bite was delicious. The hoot house nachos - so good. All of the BBQ was so good. Esquites were so good! The charro beans had a unique flavor- kind of like curry or jerk? But they were delish. read more

An amazing find in our way to Jekyll island. HUGE servings. Great food and flavors. Not sauce heavy bar b que . Such a nice atmosphere we sat out back and watched football. Quick food delivery. 100% recommend read more

Hootenanny’s BBQ - Smoker - Barbeque Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

Great chicken sandwich and corn. Food is tasty and good portions. Didn't try anything else but the chicken was just right.

Updating my review based on overall experience Interior / Exterior 2 stars The dining room is still under construction, so can't comment on that. Last two visits, the 'backyard' was devoid of tables and benches so you have to stand and wait for your order to be called. There are a few tables on the concrete driveway and 'front yard.' Last visit, it was very windy. The whiteboard menu actually flew off the nail and became airborne. One of the potted trees in the driveway overturned. It was not a great day to dine outside. Ease of ordering 0 stars You can still only order via Toast, Facebook or Instagram. In my opinion, the ordering process needs a complete rehaul. Here's why - 1) Toast app does not have ALL items and not everyone wants to download an app to place an order. I work in IT, so it's not like I'm a tech dinosaur, but I like to be able to ask questions if I'm unsure about something and their menu descriptions are VERY vague. 2) Menu descriptions could use some work. See #1. For example, the brisket stroganoff / beef stroganoff had pork belly in it. A lot of my friends and family don't eat pork. I only discovered it had pork belly in it after I logged into Facebook and looked at multiple posts. The coleslaw is very good, but before tasting it, I had no idea if the yellow coloring was from turmeric, mustard, honey mustard, etc. I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food, but there are definitely flavors and items I know I don't like and would prefer to avoid. 3) I already mentioned that it's a bit difficult to walk on the large stone / gravel 'sidewalk.' I should also mention that it's not easy for a disabled person to go to climb the steps to go to the window. And I only noticed this because I'm recovering from a torn meniscus - so maneuvering stairs, standing for more than a 5 - 6 minutes - can be a bit daunting. I'm guessing they're doing something to backyard and the tables and benches will be back. I don't know - didn't ask. 4) They are not easy to reach on Facebook or Instagram. They never responded to my FB question and after I raved about the food to my buddies, both of them said they tried to place orders via FB and were not able to. My buddy who works at the hospital was trying to place an order for her team and she said she never got a response. My buddy who works at FLETC said he got a response, but it was after he'd already given up and gone somewhere else. 5) My final visit, I attempted to get ribs. FINALLY found out that they no longer have ribs on Saturday unless you pre-order on Toast app. ~ 02/07 - arrived too late to place order, but Tommy told me they'd have ribs this Saturday ~ 02/08 - showed up and ordered sandwich, Kate told me they'd have ribs this Saturday ~ 02/10 - show up Sat before Superbowl Sunday & Kate said no ribs unless I pre-ordered for Superbowl Sunday, told me to come back next Sat ~ 02/17 - no response to FB message about ribs, didn't want to drive to Brunswick for no reason ~ 02/24 - final weekend in town, showed up to order ribs, was finally told by Kate that ribs are only available if you pre-pay / pre-order. She said they used to have ribs every Saturday but they stopped. Now - you can only get them if you pre-pay / pre-order on Toast app. And I think you have to get the order in by Tuesday. But the paper menus in sheet protectors at window still say they have ribs as a Saturday special. SMH. Food - 4.5 stars I had the beef stroganoff, but got the sandwich for my brother. He didn't care for the sauces or the slaw (he said both were too runny), but he raved about the meat. I loved my food. My buddy Derek loved his brisket, pickled onions and stroganoff but didn't care for his pimento cheese. Customer Service - 0 stars The young lady at the register said she was new. I explained that I wanted a small ramekin of slaw topping, but for my side I wanted the beef stroganoff. I explained this twice because it was clear that she thought I wanted a side of stroganoff AND a side of slaw. They still got this wrong - put the slaw on the sandwich, then got annoyed when I brought the sandwich back and asked them to re-make it. No apology for the error. I even apologized for the inconvenience and explained that I was driving the sandwich up to my brother because I wanted him to experience the deliciousness. He's 5 hours away and didn't want it to get soggy. So I got my re-make, but it came with a complimentary order of raised eyebrows, pursed lips and chilly silence. Price / Value - 3 stars Pricey, but what one would expect for this type of food, ie 'elevated' barbecue. Menu clarity issue - I still don't think they rang up my ODB brisket correctly. I think they charged me as though I'd ordered EXTRA brisket. Overall Overall, I think locals who work or live nearby will love this place. Averaging out the stars listed above, this should be a 1 or 2 star review, but the food is too good to give it less than 3 stars. read more

Good food, nice set up and fast service! Great atmosphere and easy to find, I would recommend the lamb tacos! There super good!!

The BBQ Illuminati had Pork Belly Tacos so I HAD to try that special out!!! Oscar Foxtrot Sierra!!! Out Fricking Standing! SO juicy and the umami flavors with the pickled onions and veggies on top were spectacular! The service is always fast and friendly.

Fabulous!! Vegetarian Sweet Potato Tacos and Street Corn were DELICIOUS!!!! Usually when my carnivore husband drags me to a BBQ restaurant , I'm resigned to a non-meat side and an iced tea. But Hootenanny's Vegetarian Tacos were a great answer and let me join the dinner experience. Thank you!!! We'll be back! read more

This restaurant appeared to be a large, multiroom house. Seating was very comfortable in smaller rooms vs. a large cavernous space. Service was prompt and friendly. I had the pulled pork sandwich and Brunswick stew and received generous portions of each. The stew as quite flavorful with lots of nicely cooked - but not over cooked - vegetables and bits of meat in a flavorful broth. The pulled sandwich was so generous it could not be picked up, as a sandwich, until some of the meat was eaten with a fork. The bun was standard but not special, the meat was soft, tender, lightly smokey but a bit salty for my taste. We ordered a sausage for later and found it wonderfully lean but with the just right amount of fat and spiced just right and mild. Altogether, an excellent lunch. read more

Based upon a recommendation my wife ordered a tray and a brisket for a Christmas Eve gathering. We had never tried Hootenanny's before. The food on the tray could not have been better. Outstanding is not an adequate description. The brisket was also very good. We intend to become more frequent customers. read more

Awesome spot to get a beer and some great bbq. We came less than an hour before closing time and the food was still great and nothing was sold out. They have a fenced inpatio area as well as open air seating. Would come back if in the area again. It looks like a house and back yard but dont let that throw you off, worth a visit. read more

We almost turned around!! So glad we didn't. The Brisket was outstanding. Would go out of the way again for this place.

They prepare gourmet style bar b q. Everything we have had from there is delicious! If you haven't checked them out, you definitely should.

Food was absolutely amazing, perfect atmosphere for a fun little night out or a great lunch. The staff is so sweet and welcoming. Perfect spot for some amazing BBQ. read more

Holy moly, what a delicious place to eat. I got the street corn and brisket street tacos. The brisket is fantastically flavored and such a good blend with the toppings. The street corn is also impeccably seasoned, good kick. I would recommend anyone to come here and try their brisket and food. How I've been in this area for so long without hearing of this place is a crime! I didn't get a picture because the food was gone before I knew it. read more
