Drive-thru

It might be that we had extra heightened expectations from our first encounter with this place, which was at a townhall where they were the caterers. The shredded pork and chicken was so tender and the peach cobbler dessert was delicious. Perhaps we forgot to take into account that this was a free meal on a empty stomach at the time. Fast track to our first visit to the actual location - this was one of the few places I didn't bother to study (searched just to make sure I wasn't going when closed) before driving right in. We were pleased to see a drive-thru option for those who are cautious of crowds as this restaurant is always full of cars. The staff who took our order was very courteous and didn't mind reciting the list of sandwiches and all the side menus - twice. As a place that likely has many regulars (judging from our neighbors who eat here almost every other day), I was already prepared to hear in their voice some dose of "annoyance" since we were asking menu questions that frankly, their typical audience wouldn't ever ask. However, I couldn't find anything other than a friendly attitude from start to finish. Frankly, this had large part in full stars to this experience alone. As for the actual food, while I was a bit disappointed in my BBQ sandwich, there was about 4 hour period where the food cooled. I'm going to blame myself for not eating it in time. The parents were okay with the prime rib sandwich and left me all but one corn nugget and 2 pieces of mac n' cheese. Hence, the "okay" wasn't very convincing. While I can't imagine coming here for multiple days in a week, but perhaps enough for them us to order in the future like a regular soon. Fun fact: Despite a locally run place, they have their own branded BBQ sauce that's sealed like any other fast food chain. How cool!

Stopped in for lunch at the Smokin Pig Restaurant in Bowdon GA. While on an antiquing adventure. Had quite a few trucks out front so we thought it could be good. The food was very good. I had the Hamburger Steak and Mushroom Gravy with a side of yummy Potato Salad and really good Mac and Cheese. $9.95. My wife had the Chopped BBQ Chicken Salad that was piled up with tasty BBQ Chicken. $10.95. Service was prompt and friendly. Servings were plentiful. Dessert menu looked good but we were stuffed. The ambience is of a typical small town Cafe - BBQ joint. They were doing a brisk sit down and take out business! The place was very clean including the restrooms. The prices were very reasonable. They had a full menu of BBQ as well as Steaks and other items. Parking was just out front. We will definitely stop here again! Very nice!

Fast friendly service and delicious generous portions make this an awesome stop! The Smoked Wings were some of the best I've had and the Ribs were amazing! Thank you Savanah and the rest of the staff for a wonderful visit! Unfortunately, we have to get back on the road and what we really need is a nap!

Meh. It's alright, small portions, big price, just a small town BBQ place. Wasn't the best, far from the worst.

Great food. Local charm. We order their Brunswick stew for Christmas Eve every year and dining in…read morewith their salad bar is great, too. Love the hickory fries!

A church, a set of electrical wires and some pulled pork. The three intersect in most direct of…read moreways within this homey joint in the middle of this railroad town named Temple, Georgia. From the outside to the inside, it is a fairly classic countryside establishment that has a homey feel to it and a welcoming, yet confusing to outsiders atmosphere. All the classics are here: pulled pork, baked beans, fried okra, potato salad. Walking in, the couple resident guests who likely consider themselves part owners give the stare down, in the same fashion that they do for their cat when it drags in a rattlesnake into the house. Asking if the sauce comes on top or side of the pulled park, the waitress pleasantly informs that the chef does either depending on the day, thus going back to check what kind of mood they are in today. Yeah, it's that kind of a joint and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a different world than the city that's a mere half hour away. As far as the meal, the pulled pork is all-right. A bit dry, not particularly fresh, but standard mass produced pork. The okra is excellent. The potato salad is very vinegar centric, to a degree that made it a bit hard to actually finish, but could be of flavor for some. With all of that said, Jones BBQ is still a much better option than the fast food options in town and worth a stopover if passing through Temple. It's a simple place, with homey food and represents the place where it is.
