My family and I have eaten here several times and we really love this place. I have ordered their pulled pork, ribs and wings here. I am very particular about my ribs and usually don't eat anyone's but when my husband makes his. Their ribs are very good. My mom and dad come here to get their turbo nachos that they really love. But let me tell you something: those BUTTER DRY WINGS are something else!!! They are the best flavor I have ever had in my life. The food is always fresh and the fries are always cooked to perfection. I love the variety of sauces they have on hand and their service is always great. The servers and cashiers are always welcoming and polite. read more

Smokin-PO-Boys Bbq - Butter dry rub wings with fries - Barbeque Near Me - Winder, Georgia

I've been coming to this place for years and every time I go back it's a little nostalgic. The decor is "thrown" together and funky. The staff has the whole "southern hospitality" thing down. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the fan favorites tend to be the hillbilly tacos and the smoked wings. Apparently the wings are a patented butter dry rub and I gotta say they taste amazing. Full of flavor and tender. This visit I went with a bbq chicken sandwich (drizzled with the sneaky sauce which is one of four types of bbq sauces at each table) and the baked beans which always hits right. You get what you pay for here, and it tastes like it comes from a place that loves to make bbq! read more

Family decided to try the local BBQ spot while visiting Winder. We were seated quickly and everyone was friendly. Waitress answered questions and was helpful. Typical BBQ place with fun decor around. The sauces caught our eye first as there are 6 specialty sauces with unique names/flavors. Everything we ordered was very good. I loved their chopped brisket and fried okra! My mom enjoyed the pulled pork and Brunswick stew. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we will be back next time we visit Winder!! read more

Food has always been excellent until my visit July 14. Pulled pork was dry and bun was too stale to chew. Potato salad was delicious. Service quick and friendly, as always. Doubly disappointed because I regularly take home a pound of meat to enjoy all week! Maybe stick with the brisket and wings! read more

Great for dine in or carry out. Always quick, delicious and generous helpings. Staff is ALWAYS above and beyond. Make sure to try all the bbq sauces which along with their Butt Rub seasoning are for sale to take home or gift to friends! read more

Smokin-PO-Boys Bbq - Pork Sandwich / Beer battered onion rings / Lemon Pepper wings / "Turbo" nachos pork rinds - Barbeque Near Me - Winder, Georgia

Friendly staff, good portions for the price, and most importantly, DELICIOUS food! The chopped chicken and pulled pork were super moist and smoky. Even my 18 month old approved! The baked beans also had a lovely smoky flavor but weren't too sweet (quite possibly the best baked beans I've ever had!!) I also really enjoyed the coleslaw and fried okra. I'm curious about the lack of mac n cheese on the menu but definitely no worries, everything was heavenly!!! We will no doubt return soon!! read more

Very casual, rustic even -but the BBQ is excellent !! Food 5/5. We tried their dry rub wings ( meaty and yummy) , pulled pork (tasty and big portions) , and the ribs (excellent-fall off the bone tender). We also judge Bbq on its sauces-they have several choices in the tables. Sides were very good and include slaw, fried okra (nice and crispy), Brunswick stew (very good) . We were glad we chose this restaurant! Service 5/5 Quick, pleasant, helpful! Location -easy access if you are in Winder. 20-30 minutes from Athens. Restaurant is inside city limits with other restaurants and stores nearby. Facility 3/5 Rustic/casual Tables not crowded together. Only one small rough restroom for use by only one person at a time, unisex. Parking lot next to restaurant and street parking, too. read more

I only go on Sundays when they have brisket, but it's worth going past a few other BBQ joints to get it. It's not soggy or too fatty, and has a good smoke flavor.The sides are good as well. The sauces are good as well and cater to a range of spice levels. read more

PSA - pets are NOT welcome and there is NO outdoor seating. Disregard info from online sources that say differently. No clue on food since we were turned away due to health regulations for animals. read more

First timer. Heard good reviews and gave this a try. It was really good, We split the po boy pork sandwich. Nicely cooked shredded pork and the slaw was delicious. Fries cooked perfectly.

Freaking excellent!! I didn't realize they had brisket until after my meal, but the pulled pork was delicious and I enjoyed the choice of sauces. read more

I did a carry out 1/2 pound of pulled pork with bbq sauce. Everything good BUT they only gave me 2 small cups of bbq sauce.. c'mon can't you afford a bit more sauce to make it all right??? read more

always great service even when they are crowded (which is basically all the time) their sweet tea and lemon pepper wings are my favorite!!

Why isn't everyone going here for barbecue ribs, pulled pork, chicken and above all. . . the beef brisket!!! The food (barbecue and traditional sides) is amazing. The atmosphere is casual and inviting. The entire staff is friendly and attentive. You have not had the best barbecue until you eat at SMOKIN-PO-Boys Bbq! read more

Did you say BBQ? Look no farther than Smokin, because their food is SMOKIN, not just in flavor but in hospitality too. They are always so welcoming and it's a great family friendly restaurant, whether you want to dine in or carry out. They have the best BBQ plates, sides and their homemade banana pudding is to DIE for. read more

After reading reviews I thought that it would be a good place to try. But was very disappointed. We order a pull pork sandwich and most of the meat was fat. Not what we expected read more

food was great but i think the prices are high for amount you receive and they don't like to honor coupons

I reviewed Smokin-Po-Boys back in 2014 and not much has changed. The pulled pork is still excellent. I think they have even more sauce choices now and so if you have a preference in sauce you're likely to find it here. But the sides are still lacking. We tried the Onion rings and the breading was falling off and greasy. The Brunswick stew lacked flavor. The fried okra was just OK. Overall still just OK. read more

Disappointed in the food. The baked beans had way too much garlic. Garlic doesn't belong in baked beans. Yuck, I ordered a pound of pork (it was cold) 1qt baked beans and 1qt coleslaw (it was good) $63.00. I thought that was overpriced for what I got. I think I'm done ... read more

Been eating there for years I've never had a bad meal foods great also love the banana pudding. Nothing on the menu isn't isn't good conveniently located in Winder a local must Eat At location. read more

We ordered some bulk pulled pork and a variety of sides for some contractors working at our house. We placed the order the day before so we could pick it up at 11:00am when they open. We still had to wait 20 minutes because it wasn't ready. The food was very good, some of the best we've had in a long time. I would have given them a 5 if the order had been ready on time. We'll definitely give another try. read more

Some of the best Brisket I have had in the area. They just pulled it off the smoker. Fantastic. Great local BBQ place. Our server did a job taking care of our large group read more

First time in to Smokin-Po-Boys. Wednesday night 6:00 for dinner. We met some friends, and they said the wings are the best, so we went with 10 wings half dry rub, and half with the "kitchen sink" sauce. We ordered a full rack of ribs to share, and two other people ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sides. This restaurant has GREAT bbq! I mean, the ribs were fantastic. Love the dry rub on them and the perfect smoked flavor. Add your own sauce. Wings were also fantastic! Loved the "kitchen sink" sauce which is all of their hot wing sauces combined. I loved every finger lickin good bite. Haha But seriously, great food. This place is pure bbq style, nothing fancy about it. I heard they have brisket on the menu over the weekend which I am going to come back to try. So, if you are looking for daggum good bbq, this is the place! Seriously. No pics. We were scarfing our food down. read more

We really enjoyed finding this hidden gem while exploring the quaint town of Winder. We had wings, pulled chicken, fried okra and lemonades. Our server was super sweet and the food was delish. I wish we lived closer so that we could patronize more often! read more

I tried the wings (kitchen sink spice) and the ribs. I have never been to Winder until now. The food here is very tasty, and the service was outstanding as well. Our waiter was a very helpful young man. read more

Man what a delicious spot. The Yelp app didn't lead me astray. I devoured those hillbilly nachos and can't wait to try it again. White chunks of smoked chicken over fresh chips with Cole slaw on the top. It was extremely delicious . It's a must try. read more

Dry butter rub! That's the post lol. If you've never tried their wings, you're simply missing out. Not too crazy about their fries due to the lack of seasoning, but back to the wings... get them! read more

Hillbilly nachos with brisket. Local sent me here. Very good food and service. Nice folks. You want to stop here and fill up

This is the real deal barbecue in downtown Winder! Pork chicken ribs whatever you want they have it and it's smoked and it's good! I'm coming back with my phone not left in my office so I can take pictures and posted properly. Great barbecue! I got me a pulled pork sandwich on the way to go but will stop back by and sit for a bit. Highly recommend.! read more

Today was my first time at Smokin Po Boys. I'm thrilled! I just moved to Athens and was seeking a place as good as the Smokin Pig in Richmond Hill, GA. I had a small appetite so I got a kids' BBQ sandwich with slaw and a half sweet tea. BBQ is tender, juicy, flavorful. The vinegar bbq is PERFECTLY tangy, sharp, balanced, flavorful. The slaw is fresh, crisp, crunchy, with enough flavor and not too much mayo. Half sweet tea is fresh and the perfect amount of sugar. The service was quick, efficient, friendly. They DO take AmEx and parking is plentiful. Thanks y'all! I'll be back, and tell my friends read more

Pretty good bbq in winder. Small place downtown. The place was packed even at 5:30 on a Friday. Proteins were very good and sides were ok. The ambiance could use some help and alcohol would have been nice. Service was very good. Will try again soon read more

So when my somewhere in a mood for bbq I try to entertain it as much as possible. I'm always chasing that taste I'm use to from the past I grew up with. These guys have got it down pretty good. From the ribs, to the pulled pork sandwich and to the Brunswick stew. Not bad, not bad atol as I would say. Yes I meant to spell it that way. The Brunswick is always the main thing I'm after. No one makes it as good as my granny did who lived in Loganville ga. So wished she was still around because that was some of the freshest home cooking straight out of her garden. They also raised and processed their own hogs. So I know the difference between grain fed and slop fed hogs. Slop fed is so much tastier. But sometimes I run across what seems to have that farm raised smell and taste. It all depends on where the pig came from. This place has a tasty meat which has a hint of that smell and taste. Very good bbq indeed and I will come back and suggest this joint to others. Thanks for a good experience. read more

Food is good but the staff is worthless. They all act like they hate their job in the hot no air conditioning. I can't say I blame them. I waited 30+ min for 1 plate, zero communication. read more

Awesome service, and the food is amazing. Highly recommend this place to everyone who loves BBQ.

Ordered 2 smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving. The turkeys were smoked to perfection. Juicy and delicious!! If you need someone to do the work for you on your next holiday...hit up Smokin Po Boys!! While you're there ordering food for your next event, get you some banana pudding. Yeah man!! Good stuff. The service and ease of ordering the turkeys was on point, as always! The staff is friendly and very helpful. read more

It looks like a hole in the wall but it is really good BBQ. Will not be disappointed. The Brunswick stew really good too.

Not a big fan of bbq but I love their dry rub chicken wings. Best fries in town too. Given a choice between some corporate chain and a family owned restaurant the chain loses every time. read more
