If you like southern BBQ this is the place for you!…read more We went here during a recent camping trip to Indian Springs State Park near Flovilla, GA. This unassuming roadside place is just a few minutes away from the park on the road to Jackson, GA. The building has a rustic feel with 2 dining areas, 1 large nicer room in the back and a smaller plainer room near the front door. We sat in the smaller room which was clean as the staff was on the spot to clear whenever anyone left. We both got the Deluxe plate with contained shredded pork, a cup of Brunswick stew, Cole slaw, 2 slices of white bread, saltine crackers and a pickle. We also had iced tea. You order at the counter and take a seat. The staff was friendly and helpful in describing the choices. Our total bill was about $28. The pork was really good with the house sauce. The green deeet slaw was also really good, especially when place on top of the pork. The stew was good, this was the type in which most ingredients were puréed so most veggies in it were not visible. They had several desserts available but we did not try any. This place was out of the way but I think they have another location in Macon. All I know is that if I am anywhere near either I'm going back!

If you're looking for the kind of old-school Georgia barbecue joint that feels like it's been doing…read morethings the right way for generations, Fresh Air Bar-B-Que in Jackson is exactly that place. From the moment you pull up, you can tell this is a true classic. The building has that authentic roadside BBQ feel, simple and unpretentious, the kind of place where the focus has always been on the food rather than flashy décor. The pulled pork is the star of the show. It's chopped the traditional Georgia way and served piled high with their signature sauce mixed in. The pork is tender, smoky, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. The sauce adds a tangy, slightly sweet balance that works perfectly with the meat. It's the kind of barbecue that doesn't need anything fancy--just a fork and a few bites to understand why this place has such a loyal following. Another standout is the Brunswick stew, which is exactly what you hope for at a historic Georgia BBQ spot. Thick, hearty, and packed with flavor, it's loaded with a rich tomato base, tender meat, and vegetables that have clearly been simmering together for hours. Every spoonful tastes like a recipe that's been perfected over decades. If you come here and don't try the Brunswick stew, you're missing a big part of what makes this place special. The sides keep that traditional Southern BBQ theme going as well. The slaw is cool and creamy, the pickle adds that perfect bite to cut through the richness of the pork, and the simple slice of bread ties the whole plate together the way classic barbecue plates always have. Fresh Air Bar-B-Que is the kind of place that reminds you why roadside BBQ joints became legendary in the South. No gimmicks, no frills--just great pulled pork, outstanding Brunswick stew, and a tradition that's clearly been preserved over time. If you're anywhere near Jackson, Georgia, it's absolutely worth the stop.

I ordered the large ribs with two sides and enjoyed it at their outdoor picnic area. I will definitely be returning to try the smoked wings. -Ribs: 9/10 wish they were already sauced, but they were falling off the bone & seasoned perfectly -Slaw: 9/10 good & thin -Baked Beans: 3/10 nothing special, lacked flavor -Lemonade: 10/10 only comes in one size & a TRUE southern lemonade Truck drivers get free parking with $20 food order or donation.

My friends and I ride our Harleys there (about 7 of us) whenever we get a chance. No matter what state you visit for BBQ, let me tell you that they have the best Brunswick stew on the planet - I swear!!! The BBQ sandwiches are piled high (enough for 2 sandwiches) and tastes wonderful - even without adding any extra sauce. The sauce is either medium or hot. (some say a 3rd one - sweet) Normally I don't do "hot" but this one is excellent and easy to tolerate the heat. (a little runny nose) The dinner plates run around $12.99 and up and come with 2 sides. Everyone loves their fries, which are actually thin cut potatoes perfectly cooked as crispy. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The place is always clean, including the bathroom. They have TVs you can watch, no music, and they serve beer - including IPA choices. I could go on and on but let me just suffice it to say - you will be so glad you found this place and will crave returning asap. Btw, they are now closed both Monday & Tuesday. (we go on Sunday am when they open at 11am)

Food: Collards were perfect-peppery and salty and had little bit of pork mixed in-solid effort Cornbread was sweet and moist Yams were cooked well, but they're cinnamon and brown sugar heavy-if that's your thing. Okra-generic freezer bag variety-fried and nothing more. Mac&Cheese-it was a little underwhelming. It was heavy on the butter and it had separated in the container so it made for an oily mix. The rest was just cheese and noodles. No egg, no roux and little seasoning other than pepper. I will say I've had a lot worse attempts at Soul food/Southern food...the meal was decent and I'd eat the collard any day of the week and be perfectly happy.

But we made a Togo order tonight and it was quoted 10 minutes until pick up. And they were right on time. The sweet and sour chicken was heavenly.

They're so good with the soup. The crab Rangoons were great and you could tell they're handmade and not frozen. I will say that while everything mentioned was amazing, the fried rice was not up to par. The rice was dry and wasn't very good. That won't stop us from ordering again!
