    The food was so good. The service was outstanding. The actual building could use some updates but we loved the outdoor seating!!!

    You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Even the hot dogs are above average. The cole slaw is the best around!!!

    First, I am surprised that I haven't reviewed this place before. Second, I am absolutely amazed it…read morehas quite a few low ratings. I have no idea who these people are who give low ratings, but I can say they are all insane. LOL Seriously, this is one of the best BBQ places in Georgia. I have to admit that I am extremely critical of any BBQ place and Georgia has some of the worst in the South. This may be the best Georgia BBQ place I have ever tried and I have tried a lot of them. Not sure what the deal is as great BBQ seems to stop at the Savannah River on the South Carolina side of the state. As an aside, the hands down best BBQ in the country is in SC and NC. For decades now, when I drive I20 through Crawfordville and Heavey's is open, I stop and get BBQ to go. Occasionally, I will eat inside. Last time I did that was with my son and grandson on the way to a Braves game. They loved it. They have an incredible atmosphere inside, plus the giant rocking chair by the front door and antique vehicles outside that you can take a look at. Inside is antiques and super cool artifacts of the South, including animal heads on the walls and all kinds of antique items. It is worth it just for the atmosphere. But, the food rocks, as well. That is why I don't get the low reviews. I am a pulled pork guy and that is how I compare Southern BBQ. In Texas, I try the brisket, as things are different out there. Pulled pork, hash, and sides are what I go for and everything I have ever gotten from here was good. Perhaps their selection is not quite as much as some other places, but with BBQ, you are really going for pulled pork and ribs. Their hash (and rice) is outstanding and their pulled pork is so good it doesn't need sauce. But they have a few choices of sauces, including the disgusting Kansas City/Texas/Memphis sweet stuff. But also they have the thin vinegar/ketchup SC/NC sauce. I think they even offer the middle SC mustard based sauce. Mac and cheese and greens are both good. They have a few others, but those are my go too. I hit this page today because I was checking to see if maybe they were open on Thursday. They are not, only Fri-Sun. All the best BBQ joints are only open three to at most four days a week. My trip to Watkinsville on Thursday will, unfortunately, not be one where I stop at Heavy's for a quart of Pulled pork and a couple of sides to take home. My loss. I love Heavy's. The people are friendly, as well. These low scores confuse me and almost makes me think something is going on.

    Just don't do it. They messed up Brunswick stew. It was $5 for the small. It is flavorless and…read moresmells horrible. Would not recommend even for a cat. Services was quick and lady was nice. Could not recommend eating here. After reading the reviews I thought it can't be that bad, it is! Take your photos go inside get a drink but leave afterwards!

    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.
