The ribs were fan-dang-tastic. I mean, whoagood. For THAT REASON ALONE, I am a fan of this place…read more The brunswick stew stinks. 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.

I ordered the half slab of ribs to try with the different BBQ sauces but I only tried the mild and the JByrds juice because I don't really care for sweet bbq sauce. The ribs come without sauce and they were cooked tender with just enough hold onto the bone for chewing. I'm a TEXAS girl with a strange taste for Sonny's bbq but it's nice to know there is a BBQ restaurant right near me in the small town of Roberta Ga. that I can get good ribs and I liked my chili cheese dog with onion as well. The chili seemed to have a sweet taste to it but I liked it. They have Coke products which is a plus if I choose to drink a soda and they also have sweet tea to represent the southern taste. I will definitely be back to check out the BBQ chicken and Brisket sometime soon. Nice to have a restaurant where I can watch carb intake by eating meat which I can make my own veggies to go with it at home. I wish it had a warmer atmosphere inside and a bit friendlier or should I say more outgoing when ordering. The prices are a bit high but they are everywhere so I will support this business and I'm glad they are here in our small town of Roberta.

Chicken fingers and fried chicken had people smacking their lips! Meatloaf and mashed potatoes were new to us. Do you take the risk or eat the finger licking chicken? Let me tell you Meatloaf and mashed potatoes are now my favorite! Tender meatloaf not full of fillers. Meat and seasoning says it all. It sat proudly beside this creamy , buttery, smooth pile of mashed potatoes! I am talking about real mashed potatoes. There is no way them taters came from a bag of fake flakes. The only thing wrong was the wait to see if there were any leftovers and to beat people to score a plate for supper! I must go take a nap now as I have finished my leftovers. trust me when I say I will dream of the strawberry cake.

So on our way back from visiting friends at Lake Lanier, I as the passenger + navigator said..hmmm...we need a break but let's find soul food. I said. Who goes thru Macon and dont eat good. Not me. So, I hit Yelp. Then I asked AI. Claude. Claude gave me a list and there was the H! So we drove 20 minutes out the way. Best detour ever! Go early. Buy an extra meal for home. I gladly dropped my cash. ..salmon cakes made me cry....everything was off the chain. Well, I had my good juju on, I sat on a bench with a 30 year veteran of this place. She talked my ear off, what a delight. So the place is decked out in Allman brothers memorbilia. It was their early haunt as they rose to fame. Well the founder, older blk lady is dead. Her family smartly sold out to corporate. But it was worth it. They maintained all thats good. Even the tiny old bathrooms. Need an update for sure. But. .Definitely worth the visit. Parking was horrible! So go early! Now, you need to go by Macon cemetery. See Allman burial, civil war places. I want to explore Macon more now! Well, as we drove home, around Jacksonville, I reached in the back seat. No fork. Just a smile. Yes i fed my driver. Salmon cakes hit on all cylinders. Sadly the two meat plate left off my meat, turkey. But forgiven. I should have checked my to go order. Never trust. Always verify. Broke my own rules! Stop by. Soak up history, flavors in this quaint cafeteria style. Nothing fancy. Just pure delight!
