One of the things I look forward to when traveling to/through BFE is the oppty to stop into hole in the wall BBQ joint and sampling what's on the menu. Just so happens I was in Dawson and well, the pickings are pretty slim so it's not surprise this place jumped out at me immediately. The name is certainly no lie, it literally looks like a (rundown) farmhouse off the side of the main (?) road through town. Parking is plentiful, assuming you don't mind parking on unpaved and uneven ground. Certainly wasn't an issue the day I visited but I can imagine it'd be a pain if it were raining. Inside there appeared to be plenty of tables inside, along with a couple high tops and an odd bar type space to the right. Ordering was most pretty straight forward, and the girl taking my order was happy to point out the things they didn't have that day (brisket and a host of sides). Regardless, still a pretty decent lineup to order from including ribs, chicken and pork, along with some crazier options I didn't spring for (turkey leg and frog legs!). I ended up getting the rib plate and added a few extra bones, which they were quite accommodating on and just asked how many more I wanted. Taste wise they were quite good, great smoke, pretty meaty and I made quick work of them all. I elected for beans and potato salad for my sides, and while the beans were forgettable, the potato salad was pretty good. The sauce was ok, nothing too fancy and just a basic sauce that I ended up adding a bit of hot sauce to. All in all, a pretty solid place in the middle of nowhere. Don't know when, if ever, I'll be back but I wouldn't hesitate to drop back in again. read more

We decided to try this place considering the reviews and it didn't disappoint. We had the ribs and pulled pork sandwich and both were really good. Their fried green tomatoes were sliced thin which helped keep them crispy. The serving sizes were plentiful and definitely worth the money. We definitely will be back when we drive through town again. read more

Their fried green tomatoes are staple in my family and came highly recommended when I was in town. I got them to go and they were delicious. Great cut and the batter is seasoned just right. I'd gladly recommend this dish. read more

The Farmhouse - Fried green tomatoes (delicious!) - Barbeque Near Me - Dawson, Georgia

I've been waiting almost a year to try the farmhouse but I'm never in town when they are open. Finally, the stars aligned and here I am at 12 noon on a Thursday. It's pretty crowded but seating available. Parking is very limited. There was a line to place your order but it moved quickly. There is one restroom and it was clean. The restaurant itself looks like it was pieces together but I'm pretty sure they planned it that way and it's actually nice and clean. The drinks are self serve with free refills. The guys working the counter were nice and answered any questions I had as a newbie. I ordered a rib plate with okra and stew. The ribs can be served wet or dry. I decided on dry so I could add sauce if needed or left the way they were if flavor was good. They were moist and nicely smoked but the flavor left a little to be desired. So I dipped the meat into the side sauce as I picked off the bone. The stew was actually really good. Lots of meat, good consistency, and some veggies ( no Lima beans thank god ) the fried okra was hot and fresh ! Overall good food and I will definitely visit again if the opportunity arises. read more

I have wanted to try the ribs for a long time but never had time to stop. Today I was passing through and stopped to get a half rack of ribs uncut and wrapped in foil so they would hold till I got home to Leesburg. First of all, I have never seen a half rack of spare ribs with only five bones. Then they were either so overcooked that I could not chew them, or the thicker ribs were greasy and fatty and it was very obvious they were old. Needless to say, my dogs enjoyed their $14.00 snack. As for me, I'll never stop there again. read more

I love a good roadside BBQ place. All of the best ones have a good pit going out back that holds the promise of what resides within. This is no exception. I had the Farmhouse dog. "What gives?" You say. A hot dog at a BBQ joint. It was the best way to try a sample of what I wanted. It was a nice grilled dog served in a basket with chili, slaw and BBQ on top. Grilling the dog brings out the flavor of the meat. The chili was a wonderful hot dog chili with a tiny bite to it. The slaw was fresh and cold, crisp, yet creamy. The BBQ was top notch pulled BBQ. Not to be heretical I tried the ribs, too. Maybe the best I have had in a year. Maybe better. Tender, not tough. Juicy, not soggy. So much better than any chain place. The people are friendly and the guests are, too. We talked with a phone guy and he said he eats there regularly. Don't let the exterior looks fool you, it's great eats and very clean. read more

We stopped on our way to Florida. Food was just ok. There was little service. Bathroom out of order. Not too friendly.

I'm kind of new around here. The Farmhouse has great food! Good variety on the menu. This BBQ place even has fish on the menu! My boyfriend's Mom thought the fish was delicious. We LOVE the BBQ. But my absolute favorite is the fried okra. And if you have a sweet tooth, they have you covered there too. Happy, friendly employees. If BBQ or fish aren't for you.. check them out on Facebook or just go in, they have other things on the menu from time to time like daily specials. Steak, lasagna, and other yummy stuff. read more

This place has a great vibe/ country feel. It is very reasonably priced. However, I ordered the brisket plate and my brisket was old and very dry. It looked like it had been microwaved to long. It had a good flavor and maybe I caught them on a bad day during lunch. read more

They should change their name to "The Flyhouse" There were hundreds of flies inside and some smashed on the tables. I ate in my car! I give 2 stars because the guys working there were friendly. The food was just ok, but I examined every bite for fly parts . As I waited for my food, I noticed everyone taking their food to go. It's a shame because it's a cool little place - if they could just get the fly situation under control. . read more

My husband got ribs plate. I got pork plate. Everything was great! Best fried green tomatoes I've ever had.

Called in to order and the guy said it wouldn't be long at all. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to get our order wrong. Then when we got it fixed there was a hair in the fries and everything was too salty and tasted like pickles. It's obvious they hadn't changed their oil in a while and they're frying everything in the same oil. The sausage dog was also one of the worst I ever had! Oh not to mention the prices on yelp are all inaccurate. I had high hopes for this place but am sad to say we won't be back. read more

The absolute BEST roadside BBQ I have ever had! We stopped on our way home to Wisconsin from Florida and took a detour to avoid Atlanta traffic. This food made it worth the extra time. We had ribs, which were juicy and full of flavor, brisket which my son said was the best he has ever tasted and the half chicken which was crispy on the outlet side and juicy inside. The coleslaw and mac n cheese were the perfect compliment to our meals and I loved their sweet tea. I highly recommend a stop here! read more

Found this place on Yelp. Husband had the brisket platter, little on the dry side, onion rings and Mac and cheese. I had the rib platter, green beans and Mac and Cheese. Wow. A ton of fall off the bone ribs on my plate ended up sharing it with my husband. Green beans and Mac and cheese were good. Definitely worth a stop for some good grub. FYI - not sure if it's because of the holiday and people traveling through, it did take some time to get our food. If you are not in a hurry to get to your destination give this place a try. read more

Whoa This place is a hidden treasure! So much to choose from and it's delicious! I had the brisket sandwich. It was perfect! Not too fatty and not at all dry. It had BBQ sauce, mayo, and cheese on it. I also got fried squash. They were thin perfectly fried squash coins. So good! My hubby had the BBQ sandwich. He also had the baked beans and corn. He said it was all very good! Don't miss this little gem! read more

Just passing through town and stumbled on this gem! Great food excellent service, clean and comfortable dinning area. Must try the brisket sandwich! They are modest in the description but what a sandwich! The cook filled me in that the add smoked provolone, combined with the BBQ sauce, it was heavenly. read more

Waited 25 mins for a plate.. just taste like frozen bbq to me but nc bbq is where its at if this is the normal

I had the BBQ sandwich plate. The sandwich and coleslaw were delicious and just the right amount of drippy. The mac, eh nothing special. My husband had the Rib plate he said mine are better, so sweet, guess it's the love I put in them. I snag one of his onion ring the minute it hit the table, yum! So glad I made an impulsive U turn. The restroom was clean but out of TP. read more

I ordered the jumbo barbecue plate with Slaw and fries with a sweet tea. The best part was the tea. They need more and better people working the counter. It also took 30 minutes to get the order and They didn't have a line at the door. Finally, it was fair barbecue for the South. It reminded me of canned barbecues. They don't have sauces on the tables and what sauces were available were almost empty. read more

Great spot to eat. Rib plate is great. Ribs are cook perfectly. Great service. Would recommend to anyone.

In town for a job for a few days. Absolutely delicious bbq. Worth the wait that others have complained about. Good prices too. You can get a half a chicken and two sides plus a drink for less than ten bucks. The Potatoe salad and bake beans were fresh and delicious. The bbq sauce can be bought separately and you'll probably want a jar to take home. If you're just driving through and want a little local cuisine it's definitely worth the stop. Better than anywhere in nearby Albany. read more

Great side dishes, Fried Green Tomatoes and Corn Nuggets, my FAV. Sweet tea just right. BBQ Pork sandwich is good, Chicken plate could be a little warmer. Have not tried Ribs but will coming up shortly. Hit this place up every weekend. The wait can get a little long on a Friday or Saturday night after 5. read more

Extremely delicious !! I don't like BBQ American food doesn't impress me but this restaurant was fantastic

Hands down some of the best bbq I've had. Don't be in a hurry but it's worth the wait. Best tea in Dawson!

Great BBQ in a town that has little to offer, in the way of restaurants. Recommend the pulled pork sandwich. They used to be carry out only but now have a small dinning area that is air conditioned. They have a large selection of food to eat but stick with what you expect to get at a BBQ shack and you can't go wrong. read more

Diamond in the rough is the best way to describe this place. Stopped here on the way back from Atlanta and absolutely loved it. I ordered the bbq pork sandwich plate with fries as the side and sweet tea to drink. Loved everything. The pork is pulled in sauce on a burger bun. Sauce wasn't too sweet or spicy, but just right for my taste. Fries were regular crinkle style, salted just right. Sweet tea was just as I like it, sweet. Stop here if riding thru Dawson and you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

Amazing food and the restaurant itself is super cute. Really friendly staff and the service is great.

WONDERFUL FOOD AND SERVICE!! Try the mac and cheese bites and the brisket sandwich. SO DELICIOUS!! You really can't go wrong with anything. Wings, chicken plate, BBQ sandwich are all great! read more

Stopped again, got stew and a half chicken to go. Stew was too sweet and below room temp. Had to have them warm it up. Chicken wad inexplicably underdog at the thigh, pink and bloody and overdone in the breast. Shame, because the flavor was good Waited in line, got to tg he front and the cashier took a phone call right in my face. I'm sorry, the guy standing in front of you should get the priority Sadly, I won't be back read more

This place looks like nothing, but the service is quick and friendly and the food is delicious and inexpensive. Don't leave without trying the fried Oreos!!!! read more

Roaches, roaches, roaches!!!! I have never seen so many bugs in a restaurant in my life. The were crawling all over the walls and ceilings.

Food was pretty good. Tea was very sweet. Took a while to get it and it wasn't too crowded. Worst problem was the bugs crawling on the wall by our table. read more
