    Love this place. This is the kind of vinegar based BBQ I've been eating in GA for 60 years. And the Brunswick stew is over the top.

    Best hash and vinegar based barbecue you can get--anywhere. If you're ever in Louisville, GA, you should make the trip to Purvis'.

    It is NC style, but that makes sense because of migration patterns.

    Hands down best food in Waynesboro!…read more Amazing meats, perfect veggies, tons of options, and all for rock bottom prices. I'd give 6 stars if I could. I have had a few of their meats and my favorites are the ribs and the porkchops. They really know how to handle pork. As for sides, any vegetable is a winning pick and the mac and cheese is a perfect pairing with any fried food. The service is fast and accurate and their system for running through the long lines works amazing. The restaurant is a bit dated but it Taylor's has been an institution for forever so that's a good sign. This is a perfect quick lunch spot or a quick family dinner spot. Seating is limited but tables rotate pretty quick. If you are wanting a place to sit and chit chat for an hour, I'd suggest taking the food to go.

    This is my second time here. My first time was about 6 years ago and the portions of the food as…read morewell as the freshness was superb. This time however was very disappointing. The portion was smaller. The taste lacked. The chicken was dry. A fried pork chop should be seasoned or at least the flour. We had sweet tea that was super sweet which is a -/+ depending on your taste buds. I personally love a sweet tea. Mac and cheese was over cooked. Black eye peas and Lima beans were very watery and lacked seasoning. The only reason a 3 star was given was the CUSTOMER service. The staff were very friendly, very attentive. They greeted us when we came in, thanked us as we paid. It was a little disturbing to notice the separation of who worked the service line and who worked the cash register. We don't live in the 1900's. There was a picture in the dining room, in one of the pictures shown, very disturbing to see something clearly from the era of segregation. To know this establishment has such a high star value is scary.

    I'm picky about BBQ, as are most southerners, because everyone has the BBQ they grew up with to set…read morethe standard and that varies tremendously geographically! But South Carolina has the best BBQ of all the southern states when you can find the right stuff. BBQ Barn is the right stuff. They've got pulled pork with quality sauces, hash similar to what I make myself (therefore excellent), delicious southern sides, sweet (and unsweet) tea, various other meats (their burnt ends are yum!) and some desserts that look great but I haven't tried yet. They also aren't a buffet style restaurant which is a great thing in my opinion. They have a good amount of seating but I don't think they'll fit lots of large groups so keep that in mind. They do have a drive thru and you can order food to go. Unfortunately, they are also like other good BBQ places in their limited hours; they are only open Wednesday-Saturday each week so they can't be Sunday dinner or Monday emergency dinner unless you plan well ahead. The staff are nice and the restaurant is always clean enough. When we aren't making our own barbecue, we are probably getting barbecue from BBQ Barn (or the only other good bbq spot in the CSRA).

    Delicious, warm, gracious. These are the words that come to mind when I think of BBQ Barn. I have…read morenow dined here three times. My first two visits were only 24 hours apart because it was so good. This time I experienced the same delicious food and quick service. I am impressed by the quality of the food (so fresh) and how kind everyone is here. I like to ask what they recommend, because the desserts change and the cashier was sweet and indulged my questions. I also can't speak highly enough if the sauces. I am a big fan of the spicy georgia red bbq sauce. The gold is also great, just a mustard flavor. I'm tempted to buy a bottle the next time I visit. My recommendation - Come visit on a warm day. Order a platter of food (2 meats will give you plenty of leftovers) and a slice of cake. Sit at the outside tables and enjoy. There are fans outside if it's too warm.

    The brisket was good, I got the 3 meat platter. It was good, the sweet sauce was the best one. The…read more3 servings of meat were small but altogether was a fair price for the platter which was about $16 I believe. I was thinking maybe bigger serving sizes and juicer cuts, but price to plate--it was fair enough. I spent $50 for me, my husband and daughter. The macaroni and cheese was just okay, so was the okra. I think flavor wise everything was okay to good, with room for improvement, but nothing was bad. My favorite parts were the sweet sauce, the brisket, and the name of the restaurant because it's my daughter's name. They also reposted her on their instagram which was very sweet and showed great social media presence.

    Subject: Extremely Disappointing Order - Augusta Location (Grubhub)…read more I placed a dinner order this evening from your Augusta location through Grubhub. The order included: Two-meat option (beef with hickory sauce, pork with sassy sauce) Coleslaw Baked beans Six wings with sassy sauce Blue cheese dressing The order arrived in approximately 35-40 minutes, which was acceptable. However, when I opened the bag, several items were missing and the food quality was unacceptable. There were: No utensils No napkins No blue cheese dressing No hickory sauce Additionally, the meats were cold, the baked beans were barely warm, and the coleslaw was not at an appropriate chilled temperature. When I called the restaurant to report the issue, the person who answered stated, "I didn't bag your order." When I suggested that someone should look into who did, she laughed. That response was more disappointing than the food itself. This experience reflects poorly not only on this location, but on your brand as a whole. I will not be ordering again from this Augusta location or any of your other restaurants. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. Keith Smith
