    Nice little find in the middle of nowhere. If you want a good back road bbq sandwich this is your place.

    First, I am surprised that I haven't reviewed this place before. Second, I am absolutely amazed it…read morehas quite a few low ratings. I have no idea who these people are who give low ratings, but I can say they are all insane. LOL Seriously, this is one of the best BBQ places in Georgia. I have to admit that I am extremely critical of any BBQ place and Georgia has some of the worst in the South. This may be the best Georgia BBQ place I have ever tried and I have tried a lot of them. Not sure what the deal is as great BBQ seems to stop at the Savannah River on the South Carolina side of the state. As an aside, the hands down best BBQ in the country is in SC and NC. For decades now, when I drive I20 through Crawfordville and Heavey's is open, I stop and get BBQ to go. Occasionally, I will eat inside. Last time I did that was with my son and grandson on the way to a Braves game. They loved it. They have an incredible atmosphere inside, plus the giant rocking chair by the front door and antique vehicles outside that you can take a look at. Inside is antiques and super cool artifacts of the South, including animal heads on the walls and all kinds of antique items. It is worth it just for the atmosphere. But, the food rocks, as well. That is why I don't get the low reviews. I am a pulled pork guy and that is how I compare Southern BBQ. In Texas, I try the brisket, as things are different out there. Pulled pork, hash, and sides are what I go for and everything I have ever gotten from here was good. Perhaps their selection is not quite as much as some other places, but with BBQ, you are really going for pulled pork and ribs. Their hash (and rice) is outstanding and their pulled pork is so good it doesn't need sauce. But they have a few choices of sauces, including the disgusting Kansas City/Texas/Memphis sweet stuff. But also they have the thin vinegar/ketchup SC/NC sauce. I think they even offer the middle SC mustard based sauce. Mac and cheese and greens are both good. They have a few others, but those are my go too. I hit this page today because I was checking to see if maybe they were open on Thursday. They are not, only Fri-Sun. All the best BBQ joints are only open three to at most four days a week. My trip to Watkinsville on Thursday will, unfortunately, not be one where I stop at Heavy's for a quart of Pulled pork and a couple of sides to take home. My loss. I love Heavy's. The people are friendly, as well. These low scores confuse me and almost makes me think something is going on.

    Just don't do it. They messed up Brunswick stew. It was $5 for the small. It is flavorless and…read moresmells horrible. Would not recommend even for a cat. Services was quick and lady was nice. Could not recommend eating here. After reading the reviews I thought it can't be that bad, it is! Take your photos go inside get a drink but leave afterwards!
