I ate before the camera, but I can assure you it was tasty. This place was hopping and I was immediately impressed by the friendliness of the staff. I ordered for takeout and the person over the phone was so helpful and upbeat. I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was good along with the chili (which was my favorite of the two). The parking was a bit difficult as there are limited spaces and I had to drive around a bit to find somewhere down the road. Then again maybe locals know something I don't and there is additional parking that I just missed. read more

We called about an hour before closing with a large order and were not made to feel like a problem. The staff were so kind and even gave us a tea while we waited for the pick up. Food was outstanding and fresh! Location is small but take away food was still piping hot when we got it home. We had the smoked wings (which are HUGE!), ribs, pork sandwiches as well as brisket. Everything was well seasoned and had a perfect smoke to it! read more

I hate leaving unstellar reviews, but we were really disappointed. The food is really underwhelming. My in-laws, husband and myself went, we have had BBQ all over the US. And this just wasn't much of anything, a lot of tasted like it was straight from the grocery deli. It's not a clean space and really we were surprised it has past board of health standards, my in-laws got sick after eating here too and couldn't stay out of the bathroom once we got them back to their home. It's so sad, because we really wanted to like this place as it had so many reviews. The only real great thing about it is the staff, they are friendly and helpful. read more

Great divey atmosphere & decor in an old shack w/ about four tables. Very friendly & attentive service. Iced tea, baked beans & cole slaw were really good. Pulled pork BBQ was ok but plate was swimming in grease, which was also soaking the garlic toast. The mac & cheese was disappointing & seemed almost a cool, creamy, thick soup. Grandson got a hot dog & chips off the kids' menu & ate it up. read more

Stopped by here for a quick lunch and ordered takeout as covid is still on the rise. I tried the beef brisket and it was pretty tasty and cooked perfectly. It bbq sauce was good and complimented the brisket. The mac and cheese was rather lackluster and reminded me of the stuff that comes out of a box where you heat it up on a stove. The included chips were standard Lays and I would have preferred some other option like home made chips or even fries. The ambiance and service was good and this looks like a place enjoyed by locals. read more

Cute little restaurant on the side of the main road. Mike's BBQ tastes as fresh as it looks. The atmosphere was comforting and had both an indoor and outdoor seating area. The menu was limited, with few sections with Sandwiches, Plates and Ribs. They also had a variety of sides including chips, potato salad, greens and Mountain Dew Apples. I ended up going with the dinner plate of pulled pork. My plate also came with 2 sides, I chose green beans and the Mountain Dew apples. The Mountain Dew apples were delicious and warm. As for the pork, it was soft and melted in my mouth. The Smokey undertones were complemented by the sweet barbecue sauce. It also came with a side of Texas garlic butter toast! The ribs literally fell right off the bones as you picked them up. They were flavorful and very meaty. The Mac and cheese is a good choice for a flavorful side. Nice and creamy. Would go with this one or the apples. Pro Tip: Come early they have no closing time because they sell out quick on weekends! read more

Mike's Trackside BBQ is full of locals and that's on my book a good sign. They didn't disappoint anyone in my group. You were lucky that we visited this gem on a Thursday. They have a special for $5 pull por sandwich that is a must have. I highly recommend it with a side of either chili or Brunswick Stew. I chose the Chilli but be careful, it has a kick of his own. Parking: Outside and plenty. The place is on a corner and very easy to find. I'm sure is known by everyone in Blue Ridge GA. Food: Excellent. We almost tried everything on the menu. The chicken was a bit dry but everything else made up for it. I know that the term ribs right off the bone is overused, but it fits the mold here. The pull pork was probably my best ever. I can say the best 5 bucks ever spent. They keep their sauces warm in a crop pot and they are both AWESOME. The sweet was great for kids, but the spicy was the perfect mix of flavor and spiciness. You can safely enjoy it with your items. It became a bit addictive to me. If they would sell it, I would have taken some. Staff: Recommended different options, including what would be great for sharing and what not to. She was on top of everyone's drinks and needs. She is definitely getting her 10K steps each day lol. Drinks: No alcohol here. They keep their drinks simple. Tea, Pepsi products and lemonade. Decor was cool with antiques and very cozy. This was definitely a great place for lunch. Beware of the spice of the Chilli. Crackers might not help much, but you will be sweating soon. PS: Mountain Dew apples were unique read more

Rented cabin for few days in Blue Ridge and had taste for bbq. Not many options (unless you're living off the land) so we gave Mike's a shot. Reminds me of how my Grandma's house smelled inside. That alone gets 5 stars!!! Brisket sandwich and rocket dog were both delicious. The sides as well. If we're ever back in Blue Ridge, we'll definitely be back to Mike's. read more

After a long road-trip with extended family, we dropped in for a bite. And I have to say, their food is great. First off, this place is old. It looks like a trailer house from the 60s, but once you go inside, it is quite lively. The dining areas are really small, so don't expect to have room for a dozen friends. The walls were decorated with old truck license plates, and old toys, and other odds and ends. The menu didn't have a large selection, so it was difficult to decide on what we wanted. I ordered a Pulled BBQ Sandwich (The Tumbleweed is what it was called, I believe.) It was magnificent. It was HUGE and covered the entire bottom bun, and covered most of the plate. The barbecue sauce was spicy, but I enjoyed it. (if you have a thing for sauce being too spicy, you might not like it.) The prices were decent: Not to high, not to low. Just about right. And the waitress was very polite, and always happy to help. If I was hanging out with friends, I'd definitely stop by here again. Good stuff. read more

By far the worst BBQ I have ever had. I spent a total of $24 for two chicken buns with sides and my god. It was absolutely disgusting. Nothing but chicken that tasted boiled and rubbery and a bun. I called to give feedback because i feel as though it is important especially for the high star rating it has... IN BLUE RIDGE. Will never come back to this location. Maybe the pork is good?? I wouldn't know but I asked the manager how they cook their chicken and she said it's a secret. Then she told me it's smoked? And then grilled, and then she said not grilled??? So do you not know how your chicken is prepared? God knows what is going on in that kitchen. Do not get chicken bun. read more

Stopped by here after going apple picking. I thought it was a pretty subpar BBQ place. There was also a pretty concerning sign in the bathroom. Highlights: The baby back ribs were great. Prices were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The folks at the counter were nice and the food came out quick. I would say that's about where the highlights end. Room for improvement: Pulled pork, chicken, every side item, toast, and the bbq sauces were all pretty bland. We had a group of 6 so we got to try quite a few things. Only the ribs stood out. They were out of wings so we didn't get to try those. There was an alarming "decoration" in the bathroom. There was a plunger shaped like a gun that said "if it's brown, it's down". I want to give them the benefit of the doubt in regards to what it meant, but I had a couple of friends of color with me that did not feel comfortable here after seeing it. read more

This is probably sone of the best ribs I've ever eaten in my life. I typically don't get ribs because when ribs aren't cooked right, they're just bad. I got the 1/2 rack on a whim. Wow! They fell right off the bone and were juicy and flavorful. For $18, you get a 1/2 rack, two sides and bread. It's a steal. I ordered the pinto beans (which I never see at a bbq place) with onions and potato salad (no egg). Everything was delicious. I couldn't finish my meal and it's easily a shareable meal. BBQ is one of my favorite types of food and this place did not disappoint. We passed at least 2 more bbq places on our way there, but I'm glad this is where we stopped. read more

We were next door having a local beer when we spotted some meats walking by, and so we decided what goes better with beer than BBQ! We were not after a full meal, but just something to nibble on while enjoying the views and our beers, so we went with the loaded tots topped with brisket. The tots were solid, brisket was decent, a bit dry. The mac n cheese, while in theory sounds cool on the tots took away from the dish more than it added to it. Again, it was decent and easily shareable, but I would not order again for $17. Service was hit and miss at the bar.

I asked for more because the crab cakes were a bit more bread filled than crab filled. I know I am spoiled with west coast Dungeness crab as you get a lot of chunks and not well flaked blue crab, but I really was hoping for more crab than I got for the money. The coleslaw was just okay. It was a nice mayo based dressing but lacked a tangy/sweet combo that I just adore. I am not impressed enough to return.

Of the many BBQ places I've visited, this one is a long standing one with quite a history. If you…read morevisit, the story is written on the menu. But a history is not the only thing this restaurant offers. This place is one of the very few that smokes the meat to a very obvious degree. I have not tasted this level of smoke in a while, and it is quite an acquired taste that is not commonly found these days. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, fried pickles, and a blackberry cobbler. The food was OK, yet the ribs had that unique smokey flavor of years past. This place is a gem of the past. The dessert was good, and the service was friendly.

Such a fun place with absolutely delicious barbecue! Our service the whole time was great; there is…read moreplenty of seating inside with a rustic vibe throughout the restaurant. I ordered the ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender. The rub on them was delicious, and their sauce perfectly complimented the juicy meat. I wish there was a little more spice in their spicy barbecue sauce, but it was still delicious. I also tried their garlic salad, and it kind of just tasted like a bottled grocery store dressing without a lot of garlic flavor. The sides were good but nothing standout about them. However, their raspberry lemon cake was incredible. The tart lemon complimented the sweet raspberry flavor perfectly. I'd come back for their ribs and cake any day!

Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.
