Would give 3.5 stars if Yelp had it. A little bit expensive but portion was huge. Almost a pound of brisket. Coleslaw side was good and had chopped pickles in it - vinegar based and not creamy. Mac and cheese was average. Was able to get in and out pretty quickly. read more

Keith-A-Que - Brisket with coleslaw and mac & cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Ashburn, Georgia

We were driving to Florida on I-75 and were looking for that perfect, unique, hole-in-the-wall serving local cuisine for lunch kind of place. Found it. Keith-a-cue, is less than a mile off the highway and so worth the time. Got the perfectly smoked pork butt sandwich, my friends got the pork butt plate and another got the shredded pork plate. Both got okra - get the okra. Their fried okra is about as good as it gets. And the pulled pork butt is so perfect, don't mess around, get it. The place really is a hole-in-the-wall - literally - you order at a window in an outside wall. They hand you your drinks and then bring your food to you in the adjacent, spotlessly clean and comfortable dining room. This was exactly the place we hoped it would be when we pulled off the highway. If you are headed to Florida or returning from there and drive through South Georgia on I-75 plan a stop in historic Ashburn. You will thank me. And you will thank Keith for the amazing smoked pork butt and okra. Yum. read more

What a great place! Everyone was so friendly! The owner, Keith himself, brought our meals out to us. The brisket sandwich was delicious with ample brisket. The fries were cooked perfectly! It came with 2 different sauces both of which were great! Btw..they have inside and outside seating plus a drive-thru! Take the extra few minutes and drive into town for a great experience! read more

I found the pulled pork sandwich very dry and bland. I needed to pour a lot of BBQ sauce to get it edible. BBQ sauce was not the flavor I enjoy. I would not eat here again. read more

Good food. Great service. More of a grab and go kind of place. We had the brisket. Larger serving:

I had an urge for barbecue so we decided to look for a locally owned store instead of trying Buc-cees. It was a great decision! My husband had a two piece fried chicken with french fries and coleslaw. I had the sliced brisket sandwich with baked beans. Our choices were absolutely delicious. Ginger, at the front counter, was very friendly and brought us fresh to-go cups for our trip. read more

The ribs here were bangin. We stopped here on a roadtrip randomly, and it was worth it. The Brunswick stew was delicious as well. 2 combo plates, a kids hotdog and ribs and a side of mac n cheese with two drinks was 50. Plenty of parking and there was a drive thru as well. You walk up to order, but they have an air conditioned building with tables and booths that was clean for eating. read more

Visiting from Alabama. The food was really good . I had the BBQ sandwich. My wife had the cheeseburger. She said it was really good. Service was great . Good home town atmosphere. I love those little tucked away places in small towns . Try it you will like it . read more

It was raining, cold, and you had to stand in a puddle of water to order - they couldn't be bothered to open the inside window. Tells you a lot about their attitude toward their customers. We got back in the car and drove off after trying to go through the drive-thru and waiting 10 minutes without anyone taking our order. I don't care how good the food is - if your callousness toward your customers is this strong you deserve to just go out of business. read more

This a great quick stop for bbq. Doesn't look like much on the outside but brisket and ribs were great! Oh, and the baked beans were my husband's favorite. My understanding from employees is that the food is made from scratch everyday. read more

We went to this restaurant because it has at least 4 star review. We were so disappointed. The fried okra was lukewarm warm and made ahead of time. The green beans were right out of the can. The macaroni and cheese had no flavor. The mashed potatoes were instant. The beef brisket was really tough. Maybe we just caught them on a really off day. Not sure but I wouldn't go back. read more

We stopped here to grab lunch on a road trip, and I'm so glad we did! Their pulled pork is amazing, super juicy, and tasty. Loved their green beans as well. read more

Keith-a-que's Super Q was mediocre-a-que. Fries were okay. Sweet tea was sweet tea. People were nice, but it was overpriced. I will not be back. read more

The pulled pork and coleslaw were good, but the Mac and cheese was not. The sweet tea was good as well. I recommend their bbq sauce as well and the people were nice. read more

Stopped at Keith-A-Que on our way through town looking for pulled pork. We ordered two pulled pork sandwiches, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, a two piece snack with onion rings and a sweet tea. It was about 30$ which is a good price for that much food. I'll start with the pros. The coleslaw is probably some of the best coleslaw I've ever had in my life. It's like savory in the best way possible. The meat for the pork butt sandwich was juicy and flavorful and the fried chicken was seasoned well and crunchy. You could definitely tell it was fresh. The sweet tea is fantastic. We almost went back for a second. Now onto the cons, the Mac and cheese was overly cheesed and the noodles were over cooked. I wouldn't order the Mac and cheese again. The onion rings tasted as if they had been fried and then sat for a while and dipped back in the oil to heat up, also not my favorite. Last for me was the bun, the bun almost ruined the sandwich for me. The bun tasted like it had sat out and not because it was hard it just had a strange flavor. read more

I'll start the review by saying that I'm obsessed with with BBQ. I live in Michigan and seek out tender smoked meats everywhere I travel. It's always a treat to drive down south, there are so many more BBQ options than I typically see up north, it's not always easy to find the good ones though. I've driven by the Keith-a-que sign numerous times over the years. It's always seemed appealing, but for some reason the timing just didn't work out... I'm happy I finally stopped! I stopped on an extremely hot (100 degree) Saturday afternoon. It makes about a mile off of I-75, but worth it. I asked if I could order just just meats without sides and the employee said sure. I ordered brisket and ribs and it was under $9!!! That was music to my ears. After a short wait in the heat, my order was ready and I headed to my car to sit in the air conditioning. When I opened the box I was excited to see tender juicy brisket and soft moist ribs. The meats were tasty and their BBQ sauce complimented the meats really well. I'll definitely stop by again, i enjoyed it more than most random BBQ spots I've ever stopped in! read more

Excellent food, decent service, definitely a highlight in Ashburn, Georgia. Visit when in Ashburn,,,

On our way home to Florida we saw Keith's billboard on 75 and had a good laugh and figured let's try it. We did and we sure are glad we did! Delicious! We had ribs, baked beans, 99 cent pork sammy, Mac and cheese, Brunswick stew and seconds of the Mac and cheese bc the kiddos thought it was the best creamiest cheesiest ever! On our way out we even ran into Keith the owner! He was as nice as his staff! Thanks guys! Bathrooms very clean! read more

I don't know who is stopping here but this was terrible bbq. If you know what GOOD bbq is, find a different place to go. Best thing about our visit was the sweet tea. read more

Cute little BBQ place, smells amazing when you drive up! Order at the window and they have a dining room. Service was friendly. Chicken was moist and burgers very juicy. Next time I'll actually try the BBQ! read more

So thankful that this place fit perfectly into our schedule to stop for lunch. Each person in our family of four had different items and everyone gives this place two thumbs up. My husband absolutely loved his chicken tenders and he's pretty hard to please...the chicken itself had really great flavor. I had the brisket platter with beans and slaw, the coleslaw was the best I've ever tasted. The baked beans were really, really good too. Both had a hint of sweetness, just that 'something' that made them stand out. And according to the kids, the hotdogs and the BLT are awesome, crinkle cut fries are great too. We will definitely revisit anytime we get a chance to. read more

I have traveled the country from NY to California and have had some great BBQ over the many years of traveling. My husband and I stopped for the night from our vacation in the NC Mountains, and wanted Authentic Local BBQ. Found this place. Wow! What a find!! I recommend anyone in Ashburn Georgia who is visiting Carroll's Country & Sausage Market, it's worth the mile drive to this establishment. You will not be disappointed. The outside may make you think twice, but trust me-I'm a CIA Culinary Grad 1999. It is a home run. Portions are large and very tasty , tender and makes you wanting more. Staff is friendly and COVID safe. Inside seating is not available at this time because of Covid. They offer a drive through and walk-up window. read more

We have been passing the sign on the interstate for years. We always made note of it, because my husbands's name is Keith. This trip on the way to Tennessee we said on the way back to Florida we would stop by for a late lunch. We arrived around 4:30 pm. My husband wanted a brisket sandwich but they didn't have any beef, due to beef shortage because of COVID. My son wanted fried chicken but they didn't have any ready and it would take too long. Not off to a great start. We decided on 1 pulled pork sandwich with French fries and coleslaw. 1 pulled pork sandwich with green beans and Mac and cheese and rib platter with fries and Mac and cheese. The pulled pork sandwiches were great. Soft bun and a good portion of pork. The coleslaw was like KFC but with relish and so much better. The fries were good, but nothing special. They accidentally gave us baked beans and they were the best baked beans we have ever had. The green beans were fresh and seasoned really well. The Mac and cheese was so creamy. The hot sides were very hot (temperature not spicy). My teenager had the rib platter, no comment from him, he did eat it all. We ate in our car because we had our dogs with us. We went back and ordered a bigger size of the coleslaw, Mac and cheese and baked beans. We will definitely be back. read more

Mushy macaroni an cheese, no flavor ribs, canned baked beans - nope nope nope - so wished that this was a better experience

Quicker and more delicious than any of the fast food places in town! Support local! Grab some Keith-A-Que! Stopped in on a road trip with a craving for BBQ and we were not disappointed. I'm picky when it comes to BBQ and everything was absolutely mouthwatering - reminded me of my Dad's cooking. Chicken fell right off the bone, the combo platter is the way to go! read more

Best pulled pork we've ever had! Customer service and employees give true southern hospitality!

Really good barbecue really nice people work there. I love barbecue more than anything and they do a very good job with it and they have wonderful Carolina mustard sauce read more

I want to give you 4 stars since I don't live closer, but that's just jealousy talking. Driving home from Florida to Tennessee on January 5th, we needed a place for lunch. This local que joint does not disappoint. Guy Fieri should find this place, but then the lines will be off the hook. My husband and I each ordered a combo plate. We had ribs, chicken, Boston butt, and brisket. Sides were green beans, cole slaw, baked beans, and French fries. In particular, I loved the cole slaw. It is chopped and in a sweet mayonnaise dressing. There is a choice of two house-made bbq sauces: tomato base is slightly spicy and mustard base is tangy. We purchased a bottle of the mustard sauce to take home. Keith is a friendly owner/host. He doesn't take himself too seriously, but he takes his q quite seriously. If you have the chance, stop by for a great filling meal. If you don't have a chance, make it happen. Venture off the highway and support a local guy serving delicious bbq. read more

Good Stuff! I tried the little $1 little 'cue sandwich, and a full brisket sandwich. Both were delicious and well worth it. The mashed potatoes were pretty meh, definitely from a box, which doesn't usually bother me except these were too loose. Stick with the meat and you'll enjoy yourself! read more

We were on our way back to Nashville from visiting family in Florida. We usually try to stop and try new places along the way. We saw a billboard along I75 and decided to look up the reviews. They seemed mixed, more along the positive side though, so we exited off the interstate and drove the mile or so to Keith-A-Que. This place is located in a small town. The restaurant has a drive thru, a walk up ordering window outside, along with an inside dining area, with a walk up ordering window inside. We decided to order inside and eat there. The menu is located next to the ordering window. We entered the restaurant and looked at the menu. The woman who was working the window wasn't very friendly at all, almost snappy. I thought maybe she was just having a bad day, but later on, she greeted 'locals' in a much more friendly manner. Oh well. I ordered the brisket sandwich with fried okra. We also go the pulled pork sandwich with fries. I ordered a water that tasted like it was from a garden hose, it had a really funky flavor. It didn't take too long for the woman at the counter to yell our food was ready. The portions were nice for the price. The brisket was full of chewy fat that I need to dissect from it. They have two sauces on the table. One that is hot and one that is mustard based. I liked the flavor of the mustard one over the hot one, and I'm a fan of hot stuff. The fried okra is the kind that you buy frozen at the store, same for the fries. Both were disappointing. The brisket was more tender than the pulled pork. Both needed some sauce on them. Overall I wasn't impressed with anything. Next time, I will stop about an hour north of this place in Perry, Georgia if we want bbq. There is an awesome placed there called GrillMasters with friendly people and great food. read more

Took a chance and drove into downtown Ashburn. Found the Keith-A-Que. Ordered the oak fired half chicken - Excellent! Sides of fried okra and mac-n-cheese were ok too. Definately worth the 2 mile ride off the highway for some southern BBQ. read more

Keith-A-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Ashburn, Georgia

I honestly never thought there was BAD BBQ,. some maybe better than others but this was the worst we have ever eaten in our lives. The pulled pork sand-which was like unidentifiable mush soup on a bun. The ribs were so tough and fatty they were not edible. The fries were the only thing we could eat. Sorry Keith! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I've worked in Ashburn for 3 years and I always pass it on my way to work and I love BBQ, so it was going to happen at some point. Tonight, we picked some up and brought it up to work. I ordered a rack of ribs, a combo BBQ platter that had marinated chicken, Boston butt, and some beer-battered onion rings. I also ordered a pint of their Brunswick stew and asked for BBQ sauce on the side. I honestly wasn't disappointed. The ribs had a dry rub all over them and the inside was moist and well cooked. The sauce was a brown sugar, tomato and mustard-base sauce of some type. It had some heat to it so I imagine there was a good bit of cayenne or something in it. It matched well with everything. The Brunswick stew was some of the best. It's not the best, but it was very good. Rescue's (LITERALLY right behind them around the corner) has made better stew in my opinion, but they are not consistent. I tried a piece or two of the Boston butt and it was tasty and also went well with the sauce I've definitely had better onion rings, but the onion rings are edible. Some of them were a tad overcooked. I think it needs a fluffier batter of some type. It just tastes very heavy and not light and fluffy as I think it should. Still, delicious nonetheless. Overall, this is a cool little drive-in. Give it a shot and you will likely not be disappointed! Just a little observation: I don't understand why BBQ in this area gives you a piece of plain bread. Put some butter on a piece of bread and toast it with some garlic salt or something. read more

Stopped in here while driving from Atlanta to Tampa for the weekend. I wanted to try some wings but they kind of just looked like fried chicken so I went with the ribs combo. I got it with the mac and cheese and brunswick stew. The ribs were decent, they had a good smoke to them. The mac and cheese was ok but I really didn't think they stew was very good. It was all potatoes and not really much of anything else. Tasted a bit like a goulash. Place wasn't bad for the middle of nowhere and id go back to try the pulled pork. read more

They have the best whole smoked Boston Butts ever! I can always count on them when I have to feed a crowd in a hurry!

Road trip. Who wants to stop at a chain when there's lots of great local places? Saw a sign on 75 and pulled off for a late lunch. Keith bought this place 20 years ago, right across from Ashburn's city hall. We got to talkin and he's a good guy. He's got two sauces, a honey mustard and his personal sauce. Both are good with influence from South Carolina style. Ribs were tender and fell off the bone. Pulled Boston butt was perfect. Keith also does fried chicken and the kid was very happy with the chicken finger sandwich. Cole slaw is a chopped style with a bit of mayo. Not too sweet which is what I like. Onion rings were fresh from the fryer and not greasy at all. Hot dogs and burgers are on the menu but we didn't get a chance to sample. This local joint is a great example of central Georgia BBQ that doesn't make the mistakes of over-cooked meats or greasy ribs that many others do. Keith's got a 100 food safety inspection score proudly posted and seems to treat his folks well from the happy conversations overheard from the kitchen. Stop by. We will again next trip south. read more
