Wonderful place Great food ribs so good needs no sauces kind owner/server sat outside Perfect

If you're up for a ride and craving BBQ, TB&J BBQ up in Clarksville, near Lake Burton off 197, is the place to go. This spot's a little out of the way but so worth it, especially if you love riding the roads around here. They're closed for the season after Oct. 27th but will be back around Easter, so it's one to keep in mind for next year. They've got it all: ribs, brisket, chicken, nachos, beans, slaw, and a super cheesy mac & cheese that hits the spot. Tyler and Jess, the owners, are welcoming and excited to serve up great food. There's not a lot of room to order, but grab an outdoor table and kick back while your food's on the way. You might even meet the local dog (we're calling her Bella) who loves a good belly rub and is around most of the time. Whether you're on your bike or driving through, TB&J BBQ is a top choice for great BBQ in the area. read more

We love this location, love that they are open on SUNDAY!! Go early and if you are going to have a large order call ahead! Get the sampler and some banana pudding!! Would love if they would add bbq egg rolls to their menu!! read more

We ordered the salad ((it's huge) and the platter with three sides, potato salad, coleslaw was good but the BBQ beans were the best. The ribs and sauce were very tender and a light smoke, the pulled pork was delicious as well. You order inside and there is a great covered area with picnic tables. The owner was so friendly and even checked on us if everything was ok. read more

Pucked up BbQ for 37 folks for our family 4 th of July gathering. Everything was on time and delicious ! Yummy in every way! The oulled pirk was cooked perfectly . No sauce meeded for me and may of us! Super yummy! My 2 year old loved the wings too! Thank you for all the love and care you put into your preparation of your BBQ! Pick up was a breeze too! read more

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. read more

TB&J BBQ - Taken May 27th 2023 - Barbeque Near Me - Clarkesville, Georgia

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. read more

Simply some of the best barbecue I've ever had in my life. Tyler, the owner is a perfect host. The small red building hides an amazing treasure. It's really great. Rustic and is charming with dining outside. read more

This place is so good. We stopped by after a Sunday morning hike at Hemlock Falls and it was the perfect way to start the day. The customer service was amazing, the food came out super fast and the house made spicy bbq and mustard mixed on my brisket was something I'll crave in the future! We took the banana pudding home with us because we were delightfully stuffed! read more

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. read more

So disappointed - they are closed until Spring. I guess that means we will need to plan another trip :) Beautiful area. read more

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! read more

It's just a small building off the side of the road, but the BBQ is awesome! We literally passed it, and saw "WINGS" on the sign and pulled over. Awesome BBQ smoked wings. Some of the best wings I've ever had. They are doing it right with a smoker in the back. They also serve pulled pork. Baked beans side were hot and delicious. It was a gorgeous day and no one else was there, so we sat out in the back on the picnic tables. Just glorious!! The service was great too. This was in the middle of the pandemic, and they came right out to our car for our order and brought it back out. Easy pick up. read more

Fabulous BBQ, slaw, beans and service! Young husband and wife own and run the place and make all of the food on site. We'll be back! read more

The ribs were falling off of the bone, smoky, and juicy! Loved every one of the barbecue sauces (sweet, spicy, vinegar, and mustard). The owners were beyond nice and attentive. Our food came out quickly and we are looking forward to coming again!! read more

Great barbecue, mainly take out. We love barbecue nachos, ribs, and wings are very good. Closed for the season. read more

This place is very nondescript, you'd probably drive by it and never know it existed. This would also deprive you of some of the BEST southern BBQ anywhere in GA. Come hungry, the portions are generous without breaking the bank. I recommend the pulled pork, it's got plenty of good smoke flavor and no sight of dryness. The mustard sauce is excellent but the sweet won't disappoint either. The beans, don't worry they're not from a can I promise you won't leave any. Finally since you came hungry don't let it go to waste and get yourself some of that homemade banana pudding with REAL bananas! The owners are so polite and attentive, southern hospitality at it's finest. read more

Basically a small bbq shack but there is outdoor seating. The service was excellent, the people here are very friendly. Everything I ordered was delicious. Best potato salad I have ever had. They load up the sandwiches with pulled pork. Even the sauces were delicious. We had our dogs with us and they gave each of them a pork bone so they were pretty happy, they even gave us extra bones to tale home for the dogs. Best bbq I've had in northern Georgia and we come up here a lot for hiking. read more

Only had the ribs and wings, Bc they sold out the rest of meat. Lol. Great ribs! So good! I am so glad we stop and try it! Ps very dog friendly, they even offer bones for my dogs! Great southern atmosphere, try it if u are in the area, u won't be disappointed!!! read more

This place is a gold mine of deliciousness. The wings are insane. The ribs are stellar. Sandwiches are phenomenal. We had a group of 8 and every single person said it was some of the best BBQ they've ever had. The owners are so friendly and the place is so cute. Seriously, just eat here. read more

Ordered 20 wings total with 4 different flavors. After finding hair on the 3 different flavors took them back. A total of 5 wings had hair on them. The couple that did get eaten was over cooked. They were burnt on the outside. I expected the wings to be replaced but they was out of wings. With very limited options here to eat I asked for the pulled pork even though they didn't offer any substitute. I felt like I was bothering them even though this was their fault. Customer service can go a long ways in this situation. The wings was $1.25 per. The pork was much cheaper so I had to ask for my money back in the difference which was $11. Got the pork home and was severally disappointed. The "bark" of the pork was so hard you couldn't bite it. The flavor of it was lacking. Over half of the pound of meat that I purchased had to be thrown away. I will NEVER eat there again. Better options in Clayton or can make them at home. Normally I make my own just didn't have time to today. read more
