The mashed potatoes were watery almost soup like. This is the second time I have been here in 5 years and I remember it being better before.

The food was decent given that it's a buffet. The fried chicken was delicious, but the rest of the…read morefood was just alright. Service was prompt since when I'm done eating on a plate, they cleared it out pretty quickly. On the bright side, it was busy when I went in there so food was never lukewarm, and the value of the meal is better than most fast food joints these days with inflation.

Visited Hawaiian Style BBQ under the new ownership, and even though a few items I had enjoyed in…read morethe past were no longer available, it didn't take away from the overall experience at all. The food still felt authentic and full of true Hawaiian flavor. Coming from a family with roots in the Big Island and Maui, I can appreciate when a place captures that genuine island-style taste and atmosphere. One thing that really stood out was how they start you off with fresh in-house made pork rinds, similar to how Mexican restaurants serve chips and salsa when you sit down. It was a unique and welcoming touch. We ordered the spicy poke, Spam musubis, and a mixed BBQ plate with two scoops of mac salad. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The mac salad especially had that classic island-style taste that's hard to find done right. The staff was friendly, the decor looked great, and the restaurant had a warm, inviting feel. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for authentic Hawaiian comfort food.

Ambience. B Service. A…read moreFood. A Price. B Found in strip mall next to Kroger. Lots of parking lot spaces. Booths and tables in brightly lit finding room. Service was quick to seat and take orders. Love they give complimentary pork rinds to snack on. Friends order masubi - spam nori wrapped rice. Nice. 3 for $9.50? I see different prices online vs menu. The shrimp tempura was okay for fried shrimp. And friends garlic fried chicken was good. I had the double meat plate. And wanted small but they charged me regular charged for $30. 3 slices of short ribs extra $6 up charge for 3 pieces ?! and 1/4 lb of pork belly bites. Also orders kimchee of cucumbers and cabbage. Nice flavors and not overly spicy. I do think they forgot to give me my rice. For $30. Thought this was a bit high for what I got. Food is delicious. Service. Good. Just not sure of how the portions are created for platters. My fiends dish for one items were under $15. Oh well...shall keep an eye on portions and prices in future. Will still go back but así es toy what get for the price I am paying. A. Small order vs regular order.

Trust your gut!!…read more I had always told myself that if you ever go to a bbq spot, one of the requirements before entering is that you should smell BBQ smoke. FROM NOW ON, I WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM THAT SAYING. I stopped by this place and when I got out of my vehicle, I stopped and looked at the store front and said......this is a bbq spot !?? No bbq smell nor smoke. Himnnn. Ok. So I proceed inside......no BBQ SMELL EITHER. internally, red flags popped on. I talked to this young lady who had ordered Togo and I asked if she had eaten here before and she said it's her first time too. I wished I had gotten her number so I could have asked how did she like it. Anyways, ambiance and service was fine. The food was not on par for my liking. I had sausage and Brisket and my sides were beans and potato salad. The meats lacked BBQ SOUL in my opinion. The beans were great and the potatoe salad was terrible ( like the potatoes were not fully cooked.;They were hard just not hitting) Will go find another spot in town. I wanted some good bbq and I am left with a unsatisfied need for bbq. Thanks.

Just checking out this new BBQ spot. First thing to know is that GPS led me to the street side of…read morethe restaurant, but the entryway is on the opposite side towards the corner of the small strip mall! Please put a sign in the window on the closed side. When you pull up to the entrance, you'll smell the smoke from the grill in the air! There's also a huge grill out front that you simply can't miss! I was quickly greeted upon entry. I ordered 2 rib plates with potato salad and a pint of hash, smoked wings weren't available this particular day. Since I've gone back during lunchtime, specifically to try these smoked wings. Unfortunately, they were closed both times. I should have checked their hours prior. Located their hours on their FB page. They're open 11-5 Wednesday-Saturday. Onto the food...The ribs and potato salad were ok or unremarkable to me. I guess I'm a little picky, but I didn't see a smoke ring nor taste the smoke at all. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I did go a little late. Maybe the ribs were warming awhile. Not sure, but I'll give it a try earlier next time along with the smoked wings and update my review as necessary. My husband and I both really loved the hash and rice!!! Also FYI no military or first responder discounts available.

This place is amazing! Best bbq in Augusta hands down. This is a local family owned business and…read moreeveryone was so friendly here. I came at around 3pm but it's advisable to come earlier when they open at 11:30am cause the food sells out fast! They have ribs, chicken, turkey wings, pork chop, and so much more. I got the smokehouse chicken with hash and rice with mac and cheese. The chicken is smoked to perfection and you get good flavor all the way through the whole piece of chicken. It's really tender too and tastes even better with the bbq sauce. The chicken has the best smokey flavor that I've never had anywhere else before. The hash and rice is also really good with lots of flavor and not too salty at all. The Mac and cheese is great too. I don't know what they put in it but it's delicious. The mango lemonade is perfect to wash everything down with (just a little too sweet for my preference). I definitely want to come back again to try their ribs and pork but I need to remind myself to come earlier so everything won't be sold out by the time I get there. I wish i knew about this place earlier because they seriously have good legit bbq. Also wish they had a sign in the front of the restaurant so it's easier to find. But hey if you know you know.

First review of 2025 and it's a good one! We finally got back to Freeman's before they sold out and…read moreit did not disappoint. I'm not necessarily a culinary professional but I am a southern gal who loves food and loves to cook, and my family and I have strong feelings about BBQ. Since moving to the CSRA, we've found lots of "pretty good" bbq but nothing GREAT. Then we finally had Freeman's! They make traditional BBQ, slow smoking the whole hog and they only smoke about 1000lbs a week and they sell out in the three days they are open (Thurs-Sat). The pulled pork is great (and for other reviewers questioning, pulled pork is the real BBQ, other meats can be good but don't bother on a first visit with anything other than pulled pork), I think it can stand alone without sauce just because it's tender and smoky, but the sauce (a delicious and not too sour vinegar based BBQ sauce) only makes it better. I've got strong feelings about hash too, and their hash was quite good. A little on the watery side for me BUT it wasn't liver hash (a pro in my mind) and it was not overly sweet like many hashes tend to be (including my own recipe, that I'm now going to fiddle with). The Mac and cheese was good but needed salt (as most restaurants do, we love salt). That's all we got- pulled pork, bbq sauce, hash, Mac and cheese. We went there to order takeout and brought it home so I cooked rice myself. They have a very small seating area inside, a few tables with hole-in-the-wall vibes. I definitely think they are better suited to doing what we did- takeout to eat at home or elsewhere but the restaurant dining area was clean and if we didn't have a toddler who can't sit still I'd probably be more inclined to stay and eat. Their menu is limited but that is a GOOD thing, and I can only vouch for what we had but I suspect the other sides are good too. We talked with Mr Freeman, the third generation owner, and he was very helpful and kind in answering my questions about BBQ and helping us decide how much food we needed for our group. IMPORTANT: as I mentioned, they run out of their pulled pork every day. The first time we tried to go was at 5pm on a Saturday and they were sold out. The second time we went was around 12:30 or 1 on a Saturday and he said they were already on their way to being sold out for the day. Go early (they open at 11) to ensure you don't miss out on the best BBQ in the CSRA!

To place an order, customers pay at the front register for both dine-in and to-go meals. There are plenty of menu options available, including daily specials. All entrees are prepared fresh, so you should expect about a twenty-minute wait after submitting your order. During my visit, I ordered the two-pork chop special for lunch, which arrived piping hot and well-seasoned. I ended up taking half of the meal home to enjoy later. Big Mama's truly captures the essence of Soul Food culture and flavor. It offers a very casual dining experience that is sure to delight your taste buds.
