Fresh Air takes all the headaches out of catering. The catering team always accurately calculates just the right amount of food for the lunches. Delivery is on time.

I ate it, but I was not impressed. I don't know how they became the Best BBQ, in Ga. My Grandfather would cook A Hog for 3-4 days and sat outside All night long to baste it and keep the temperature right. Brunswick Stew is watery, no veggies and the pulled pork is over done with white vinegar, too much vinegar. Should be Apple cider. That is not BBQ.

So they know how to turn out fantastic Southern Cuisine including scratch made pies. More food than you can process and all deliciously home made.

S&S Cafeteria has a huge amount of seating and the servers are fast, friendly and very efficient. Very reasonable prices and a great value. I'm so bummed. I somehow lost my photos for this review so I guess I'll just have to go back and enjoy it again. lol But some of my choices were the Turnip greens, black-eyed peas baked chicken, southern slaw and a yummy slice of sweet potato pie. I was born and raised up north but I must have some southern blood because I couldn't get enough of everything. Lol.

Didn't have it, but I show my credit card payment to them....19.78 was what i paid. The cashier instead came back, handed me 4 single dollar bills and a remade sandwich. Stay out this place.

It's this thin mess, and if you insist on trying it, get the salt shaker ready. The baked beans weren't so wonderful, either. I decided to try the goat, and I didn't much care for it. I don't think it was bad, it just wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The chipped consistency was a little off-putting, I think. Overall, I prefer my BBQ to be pulled or chunked, as opposed to chipped. They didn't necessarily do anything wrong with the preparation of the goat, it just wasn't to my liking. The business is honestly in a shady looking spot in a shady looking area (in a shady daggum town, really). Travel cautiously, and stick with the ribs.

Luckily the best barbecue in town happens to be right around the corner from me. Joe-Bear's & Sons…read moreTexas Style Bar-B-Que is located in the historic Cherokee Heights neighborhood. They are situated in a building that has seen its better days, emblazoned with a mural on the side that at first glance looks like a hungry beaver. It took some time before the genius in me figured out it was in fact a bear. What the place lacks in aesthetics they more than make up for with their cooking. The smells of succulent meats waft up to greet each diner as they enter. One can't go to Joe-Bear's and not order the wings. Succulent and smoky they fall off the bone and are easily the best in town. Their combination plates offer the "standard two meat and two vegetable" options. I ordered the slab pork rib and chicken plate. Not a fan of collard greens, I chose potato salad (x's 2) as my side. An order of pulled pork barbecue and a side of baked beans completed our take out order. Upon returning home we promptly dug into the containers of food. The ribs were meaty and falling off the bone. The wings were juicy, smoky and sweet. The pulled pork heaped on a bun made the perfect sandwich. The beans and potato salad were reminiscent of grandmother's tried and true recipes. But the best accompaniment in my book is a frosty Stella. This was food that made you proud to be a carnivore. As we ate I noticed we slightly resembled the mural on the side of Joe-Bear's building. Good things definitely come in 3s at Joe-Bear's... wings, ribs and pulled pork. It's a trifecta of meaty goodness.

Nowadays, "home-made cooking" and "soul food" can be found pretty much everywhere. I would know -…read moreworking as a travel show host, I've done my share of eating at a wide variety of restaurants all across the U.S. Here at Lockett's Kuntry Cooking, I've not only found the best fried chicken in the entire country, but a true and authentic home-cooked meal. After we finished filming at a nearby Georgia Peach Farm, the owner of the farm strongly suggested that we stop at this restaurant for lunch. As we pulled up, the outside did not look promising. The shabby-looking building, weather-worn sign, and the general emptiness of Culloden, GA - a small city of 223 people - all seemed to suggest that we keep driving. Thank goodness we didn't. As the four of us walked in, a small but quaint one-room dining room came into view. There were about 10 or so tables, and a few locals enjoying their meals. The exposed brick walls warmly complemented the red and white pattern of picnic table covers; an eclectic collection of paintings and photos lined the walls; and a photo of Truett Cathy, posed next to a proud elderly woman could be seen. Our waitress, Jakayla, who will be entering the 5th grade soon, came and took our order. We ordered four waters and two diet cokes. We also ordered the lunch specials and other items from the menu on the wall, a series of hand-written, colorful poster boards. After writing down the orders, she ran to the kitchen to relay the orders to the cook who, in turn, scolded the young lady for not asking about and writing down the necessary details of the items ordered. Jakayla promptly came back to our table and sheepishly apologized, asking which condiments and veggies should be placed in my colleague's sandwich and cheeseburger. Soon, the drinks were at our table: two styrofoam cups with ice water, and two styrofoam cups with ice, along with two cans of diet coke. Last time I drank out of a styrofoam cup was at an outdoor food truck event. It's not too uncommon, so I didn't think much of it - although I thought it was a bit strange, since this was a sit-down restaurant. The Fried Chicken Lunch Combo, which my colleague ordered, was the first to hit the table: a breast and a wing, collard greens, and field peas with onions, all on styrofoam plates. Looking at the fried chicken, my opinion about this place started to change. I realized we were in for a treat. They were fried to golden perfection and smelled heavenly. Next item arrived at the table: the chicken sandwich. Now, when I say "chicken sandwich", you'd probably picture a chicken breast patty with veggies and condiments, neatly sandwiched between two buns. Instead a fried thigh and leg piece, still attached to each other, bone-in and all, were placed between two pieces of sliced bread. He had to take the bones out and re-sandwich them between the pieces to make it resemble a sandwich. This sounds ludicrous, but also delightful at the same time. There was no fancy accommodations here - and they weren't pretending either. This is the way their food had been served at this place for decades. It was delightful. My order arrived - perfectly fried pieces of leg and thigh, with collard greens and field peas with onions. Biting into the golden brown drumstick was truly an experience, as it had been the most flavorful, home-made, and so delicate at its simplest form. KFC may have its 13 secret spices or whatever - but this was truly the best fried chicken I've ever had: just perfectly crispy with juicy and flavorful insides, and a touch of grandma's care. It's a one-woman show in the kitchen. The cook, lovingly referred to by the locals as simply "Mama", came out of the kitchen to hang out with her customers. She's been cooking all her life, and had been doing what she knows and loves. At age 86, she says she doesn't plan on giving up anytime soon. After the meal, all four of us thanked Mama and her granddaughter Jakayla for a wonderful meal. My colleagues being avid photographers, took some wonderful photos of both of them for memories, of which I've uploaded a few. Some practicals: as you could imagine, this place is cash only. There's no reservations and the parking lot is very small. It gets very busy around holidays, and there aren't any convenient public transport nearby. Note the limited operating hours. There's absolutely no feasible reason to visit Culloden, GA - it's a small town in the middle of nowhere. However, if you're fortunate enough to be in the surrounding area, this place is an absolute must. Even those visiting Atlanta, it's a few hours' drive to this place but it would be 100% worth it and then some. Final word. This place absolutely and honestly lives up to phrases like "soul food" and "home-made cooking." For really, really good food, made by really, really good people, Locketts Kuntry Cooking is an absolute must.
