They have a large selection and almost everything is home made. We were greeted promptly and welcomed with a friendly smile by the cashier. We ordered ribs and a side of pork. We were disappointed with the ribs . It was the end cut and they were overcooked and dry. Very disappointing compared to prior photos I have seen. The nightlight of the visit was the cobbler. It was wonderful. Served warm with a scoop of ice cream. We would return and hope for a better serving of ribs.

I told myself I wasn't going to eat BBQ on the rest of this trip after my recent experiences, but I…read morejust couldn't help myself after seeing "competition style BBQ" on the nameplate. Opening the door, you are immediately hit with BBQ smoke flavor. I was getting pumped. I ordered a tornado and the rib and brisket platter just to get a sample of everything. I picked the Mac n cheese as a side. The platter came with a half link of jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage which was the best thing on the tray. The tornado was ok. The brisket portion was pretty weaksauce. I'm paying $30 to sample some brisket and I only get two slices? Ouch. It was ok. The ribs were not smoky at all, and there could have been more rub for bark and flavor. Sauces were average. Mac n cheese was inedible for me as it just tasted like butter and noodles. Place was rockin with a lot of people, but overall, would not go back.

There is a sign at The Southern Growl that reads, in effect, that if your pet or your child…read moreproduces waste on the premises, you are expected to clean it up. I read it three times, not because I misunderstood it, but because I wanted to confirm that it listed pets and children in that order, which it did, and that tells you something about the sequence of problems they've encountered on the lawn, though I've decided not to find out what exactly. With that said, the lawn is not exactly a lawn at all, unless you consider granite rocks as a lawn, which the residents of Elberton, Georgia do as it is considered the "Granite Capital of the World." Elberton this is not. This rocky lawn is to be filled with Bichon Frisés and children in ball caps, and on the afternoon I visited it was doing exactly that. There was a dog near the covered bar area moving through the patio with the serenity of an animal who has never once been told that other people exist. His owner stood nearby holding a beer and looking proud, which is a face I recognized, because I have a son and have stood next to him with that exact expression at least twice in public places where I should have known better. I had the Radiant Positivity, a sour ale at 6%, which sounds like something printed above a middle school guidance counselor's desk but turned out to be genuinely good, all grapefruit and a tartness that knew when to stop. I thought about ordering the Kamp Jam, a 4% light lager described as tasting like shared laughter and the unbreakable bonds of friendship, and decided I wasn't there yet. The owners opened this place in 2014 and have expanded it three times since, which tells you something about Greer that it probably already knows about itself but that the rest of the area is still catching up on. Consequentially, Greer itself has also expanded its waistline 3 times since 2014 but that's a discussion for another time. I thought about asking about the Southern Sanctum, an American Tripel, but the afternoon had reached the evening and a point where a Tripel felt like a commitment that deserved more deliberation than I had left in me. I paid my tab, which was reasonable in a way that surprised me given the quality of everything, said goodbye to nobody in particular, and drove home thinking about the Kamp Jam, and whether the unbreakable bonds of friendship were something I'd get to eventually.
