    My favorite BBQ place thus far. Great fresh BBQ made daily, none of the reheated slightly dried out ribs you get at the high volume BBQ joint. Every meat I have tried here has been outstanding, and if you'd like a pro tip it is to call before you just drop in. Everything is made fresh daily and in limited quantities, so if you give them so notice you can roll in while it's being pulled off the smoker and have amazing BBQ. Lastly, and certainly not least, the staff are truly warm, kind, and attentive people. Every single person there is so polite, responsive, and make you feel like you've been invited to a pig pick'n, as if you're part of the family. Every weekend I enjoy my drive out on that winding lake road to come visit these wonderful people and enjoy their wonderful food. 10/10 recommend.

    Ok. TB&J BBQ knows what the hell they're doing. If you're looking for some of the best smoked ribs, you can't miss this joint. I mean, you literally can't miss it anyways as it's one of the only buildings around! Their ribs have bite, tender, fall-off-the-bone, smokey...dare I say, perfect? Yes. They are. Their smoked wings are straight fire too. These guys are smoke experts. Their beans have beautiful chunks of pork and taste fabulous. Their smoked Mac and cheese is divine. If you're within 100 miles, just get in your car and get here. I promise you, it will NOT disappoint. Owner will constantly make sure you're taken care of. This is THE JAM. And their sweet tea slaps.

    This place blew me away harder than that tornado I was caught in when I was 6 years old, which destroyed my life because I landed in Georgia when I used to live in Kansas. Thank god that tornado did destroy my family though, because it brought me to this place. TB&J BBQ is an experience like no other. They had the cheapest damn price to portion sizes I'd ever seen. Me and my friend got a pulled pork sandwich, bbq plate, 5 wings, with coleslaw smoked Mac and baked beans. In addition to this we got the biggest god damn sweet tea id ever seen (and it was only the small) and a pint of banana pudding. The guy at the front counter was pretty nice and accommodating. He did try to warn me that the wings were too big and might not be able to finish all 5 and the sandwich. Clearly he does not know who I am. The lady in the back was cooking the food and running it as well and she was so nice. The food was amazing, and I would go so far to say that it's better than your step-uncles annual family cookout, which he never seems to be sober for. Yelp wants me to talk about the ambiance. It's a damn red shack. You'd think that it would be messy or whatever inside if you're a judgmental person just based on the size. If you did think that maybe you should stop thinking like that, because here you are reading the reviews for this place you previously judged and haven't went too yet. You're missing out. Anyways as previously mentioned- it's a little red shack. The seating is outside so if it's raining be prepared to run to your car and violently cry if you slip and drop your BBQ. Anyways this place literally saved my life. Idk how yet but if I ever am thinking about ending it all I'll just come back here and all will be cured.

    Just us enjoying our great food

    What a treat! My husband and I happened upon this place while on a day trip in the area. The Yelp reviews looked pretty good...and this place didn't disappoint! The ribs were so tender the meat fell off the bone, the pulled pork was smoky and delicious, and the baked beans were yummy! The couple who owns the place were so nice. The husband/owner came out and chatted with us while we ate. My only regret is I didn't get the banana pudding! If we're in the area again this will definitely be on out to-do list!

    First, it is hard to find a BBQ place open on a Sunday. My husband and I were driving around…read moreHabersham County and oh my goodness. This place is AMAZING. Second, as soon as you walk in the door you feel like family. It seemed like everyone serving had a smile and were wanting to serve the customers even if it was not their specific table. Team work! Third, the food was SO SO good. We ordered a fried pickle appetizer, a combo of three meats-A FULL half of chicken, BBQ pork, and rib tips. Two sides- Fresh cut fries and Mac-n-cheese. The fried pickles were very crispy but we probably would not not get them again. I also think the ranch was bottled which I am not ever excited about. The star of the show was everything else. All the meats were moist, the smoke could stand on its own with no sauce. The fries were delicious. The mac and cheese was a little dry, but maybe it was the end of the pan. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

    One of my favorites and want to go every time I'm in town. Everyone takes care of you here…read more Got pork with greens and sweet potato fries. Of course, I had to get banana pudding to go. Liked all of mine! My kid got cheeseburger, fries, and mac and cheese, with chocolate cake to go. I got to taste the burger, which is real beef, great flavor. And the chocolate cake, wow, so good. We were lucky enough to have a sweet boy from a neighboring table take time to tell us about his toys. That was a bonus for this visit!

There is so much space in the front with cornhole boards or just to hang out. When we walked In I could tell this was going to be amazing BBQ. Writing on the walls and chairs, menus board hanging on the wall and daily specials written on chalk boards. Or orders were quickly taken by a very efficient hostess the. We grabbed a seat. I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be. The place was clean and very nice. The health rating was great and it was a really nice place.

Expect a little bit of a wait but they have outdoor cornhole games and putt-putt while you wait. I'm not the biggest fan of brisket when visiting BBQ restaurants but theirs is amazing and I highly recommend it! I learned the hard way on my first visit and my son allowed me to try some of his. The sides are very simple but they compliment the BBQ. Fried okra was fresh and cooked to perfection. The jalapeño cheese grits are unbelievable and a must try! Service was a group effort by several waitresses who took good care of us. If you ever near Clemson, I would definitely make this a stop.

    OK this is a tough review. I was going between three and four stars so you need to know that from…read morethe beginning. Hangry's is a local burger place that looks pretty busy most of the time. However don't worry about that, the two times that we went the line was quick and so was the service. You walk in and you will see the counter where you order, and attached to that is a venue. It is mostly burgers, hot dogs, and chicken strips with combinations of those available depending on your hunger (or hanger I guess). Place your order, go to a table, and a short time later your food arrives. On this visit I had a burger and cheese fries. Megan had a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. My burger was well grilled and seasoned and was a smash burger, The bun was one of those dense brioche buns some people like. I don't but that's ok, it is a style. However you should get a double patty to get a better meat to cheese ratio. The fries are the kind with some skin on them and look like they are cut in house. The downside of that is that they are served less crispy than I like. The cheese sauce was good, it was better than what some places offer that is straight out of the can. Megan said there was plenty of bacon on her burger so she was less concerned about the meat to bun ratio. Her onion rings were tasty and uniform enough that they seemed out of a bag. With drinks we were right at $30 cash which is kinda high but tariffs are killing us. If you are in the area give Hangry's a try, but get the double patty! I have some photos Yelp won't upload right now so I will try again later.

    Great bbq in Helen!…read more After getting out the river we decided to stop by for lunch since they're located right across the street from Cool Rivers. We honestly had very low expectations with Helen being such a touristy town but we were def in for a treat! The staff and even locals were super sweet and friendly. My husband can make friends everywhere but one of the locals was just extra friendly this visit and made us feel very welcomed. I forget what the special was this day but we got a little of everything plus the special. They also have mini melts for the kiddos. Y'all when I say EVERYTHING was good, everything was VERY GOOD. Maybe because we had low expectations, or we were hungry, or we were influenced by the friendliness, but we were extremely surprised. Everything was seasoned well, bbq'd well, cooked well. I don't normally order chicken because of the high percentage it will be dry, but i did and the chicken was divineee. Crispy smoky skin and juicy tender meat. Very well done. Ribs, amazing. If I had to complain about anything it would be the brisket. We ordered our brisket sliced though it came sliced/shredded and could have used a little more smoke. Though still very tasty. Upon walking out the ladies up front asked how our meal was and my husband told them it was "actually good". Poor verbiage on his part, APOLOGIES!, but our expectations were so low and Flying Pig just blew us out of the park we had no words. Our whole experience was great and we would not hesitate to stop by, or recommend, the next time we are in town.
