For a restaurant that looks like a beat up old gas station on the outside, this place absolutely…read morerules. Despite the looks from the outside, the restaurant is really well designed on the inside and is up to par with any other BBQ place you might stumble upon. The prices are fair and the service is pretty good. The staff are always quick to respond and seem well adapted to the Friday night crowds both times I and my partner went. I have to say they nail it with the two meat plate, the portions are just perfect and for the price I always manage to have leftovers to bring to work during the week. The brisket is really good, like perfectly fatty, a little burned (in the right ways) on the side, very soft and fluffy, and just overall really high quality. Their brisket is everything I'd hope for in proper Southern BBQ and they hit the mark. The pulled pork is interesting because the consistency is not consistent. As seen in the photos the first time it was served with a very thick cut, but the second time it was almost minced. I didn't love it the first time, it was kind of dry and nothing special. I liked it a lot more the second time though, and it went well with the BBQ sauce. I'm really not sure what happened to the Texas toast, honestly, the first time it was pretty good and, well, toasted, but the second time they just did the thing where they give you an uncooked piece of white bread which was sort of a let down. The max n' cheese is hit or miss but I loved mixing it with the minced pulled pork which made up for the significantly depleted amount of cheese the second time. I liked the green beans, nothing to write home about but a good side. The fried corn was solid, and a good choice if you like something on the saltier side. Overall, great restaurant with pretty good food.

And I mean just that. Ordered 2 potatoes and 2 rib sandwiches. Potatoe portion size was a tad smaller than usual but to my surprise the brisket was alot drier than usual. I understand now why they gave me 3 containers for each plate and it was to remoisturize it. I dont complain but this was not up to par at all. The Rib sanswiches were an absolute joke... Both sandwiches featured the small ends from a rack. again DRY. and i mean DRY DRY DRY. to the point where I went to separate the meat from the bone and you could hear the meat break leaving sharp edges of overcooked meat. I wish I took a picture of this before throwing it all in the garbage. Being a hometown BBQ place you need to stand out from the competition and That may just be the problem there's no other competitor close by so the quality can be substandard and there's nothing to compare it to. Dont get me wrong, I have been here multiple times and ordered even for my team at work, and it was great but all those times I did look at it inside before leaving. This time I didnt as otherwise I would have refused it on the spot. Congrats you left a nasty taste in my mouth so yes Im going to let everyone know. CHECK IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!!

Maybe it was just a bad day or maybe you've changed it altogether. I hope it goes back to the way it was.

The massive stained vertical poles interior with large diameter shipping ropes made for a fun nautical atmosphere. Our waittress was very attentive. We found the menu very pricy.

Being a strong supporter of locally owned restaurants, my wife and I thought we would give it a try. We were immediately struck with how friendly everyone was, and delighted even further to learn that we knew the owners! We each ordered a hamburger, and were both very pleased. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the fries were good, and even the salad was delicious. But the highlight of the meal was the Red Velvet Cake! They brought out a HUGE slice to cap off our delicious meal. I highly recommend Paula's Kitchen and welcome this new business to Lyons, Georgia!
