Went in for lunch with some coworkers, we've eaten here 3 or 4 times but this will be my last visit. Every time we've eaten here they're always out of multiple items. Today they didn't have the jalapeño poppers, this is a regular issue. They were out of coleslaw, brisket and a couple of other items. I ordered chopped pork and it came out cold, apparently the table next to us had the same issue, they sent theirs back but I ate mind as time was a factor. $21 for chopped pork and a cup of Brunswick Stew and a water. My friends each had a sandwich and fries and it was $20 each. The Brunswick Stew was very good, everything else was average at best and way overpriced. Like I said, I won't be back and I definitely do not recommend. read more

Solid South GA que... Stopped by Babe's for the first time while in town for work... It was recommended by a colleague. All-in-all pretty good... The staff was friendly, the food came out quick, it was solid/respectable bbq, and well priced - $16 for lunch w/ a drink. I'll definitely come back when in town again. read more

Babe's Smokehouse is a must stop if you're in the area. It looks like a truck stop but trust me, this is a great place to have some good BBQ. Babe's Smokehouse was a nice surprise for lunch. After looking on Yelp, everyone agreed Babe's Smokehouse was the best choice after reading the reviews. We just left Disney and I am craving a burger! Once we're seated, our waitress tells us the specials. Once of them was chopped beef smothered in mushrooms and brown gravy. Its still a burger, bring it on! The food tastes like my mom is in the kitchen, this was just some down home cooking. From the mashed potatoes to the homemade corn bread, Babe's Smokehouse should not be missed if you're in the Savannah area. read more

Made the drive from Guyton while visiting for spring break at 3:30pm only to arrive to a desolate parking lot and closed sign. They need to update their hours. Found out their hours are not 11am-7pm as posted, but actually 11am-1:30pm. Not sure how anyone would know this or expect such short hours of operation. Not only did I waste my time visiting your location, but also didn't get to enjoy any great southern BBQ I'd heard about. read more

Babe's Smokehouse - Closed location - Barbeque Near Me - Garden City, Georgia

The location is interesting. It appears to be an old trucking cross dock converted to a farmers market. Ok - how annoying is it to be in a near empty restaurant with the staff watching tv and socializing all the while you're watching your meal sitting at the pass under the heat lamp. Very! Everyone is super polite but far from customer focused. An admitted BBQ snob I'd say the food is average. Ribs are thick but fatty and overcooked for my taste. Brisket was good enough. They lightly sauce the meat and have no additional sauces on the table. Sides were straight from the can, salted and served. Portions are healthy and prices are reasonable. Which gets the 2 stars.. On the back end of the meal having to ask for a check in an empty restaurant is also disappointing. Overall: place seems clean, food is average and service is not good. A one and done experience for me. read more

Don't be fooled by the location of Babe's Smokehouse. The service was excellent and the food was to die for. Prices are super reasonable! The portions are generous and you will not leave hungry. Their barbecue sauce is very tasty and I will definitely return when in Savannah, GA. read more

Absolutely amazing. As british people we found the ribs and brisket the best we have ever had - juicy and tender. Other Americans loved it too . Great service (so good I had to give 20% tip) read more

Great atmosphere. Super good price. But great take on the blt. Has thick cuts of bologna lettuce tomato and bacon with slice of Swiss and American. The country fried chicken was super good and juicy as well as the sides Mac n cheese and green beans with corn bread. Can't be the price 25 bucks with drinks and tax. Defently will go again. read more

Babe's Smokehouse - But and lunch special country fried chicken Mac n cheese green beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Garden City, Georgia

Located in a truck stop in the outskirts of Savanna there is a bbq joint doing things right. Making a unique sauce and smoking everything in pecan-wood for the right amount of time. It's nothing fancy but is everything it needs to be. I got the pork ribs, half chicken & pulled pork. All were fantastic including the sides 10/10. I particularly loved the spicy bbq sauce with its tanginess. I recommend you go here if you love meat and are in the area. Cheers! read more

A local who was working on the same job site as me told me about this place at the Farmers Market and that I would not be disappointed...and he was correct and even more so it was awesome! I had rib and brisket combo and it was fork tender (but not falling apart) and ribs were with that slight tug off the bone. Sauce can be a make or break for me, but the spicy was the perfect match for both of these fatty meats. Onion rings awesome! Greens too! Peach cobbler! Perfect meal. Thanks! Also, people were very friendly! read more

Would come back here for takeout. Nice portions for the price. Redneck Reuben was really good, also had the ribs (spare ribs) and Mac and cheese. Liked that they gave big sides of tasty bbq sauce to go with the dishes. Fried okra was pleasantly tasty. read more

You might be tempted to keep on driving by this place if you even manage to notice it from the road. It is indeed shack-like. This is no hyperbole like some places in the city that use the word "shack" in their names to suggest an authenticity they don't deserve. It is on these unexpected road sides where the "real McCoy" local food can be often be found and in this case, that's the absolute truth. Just don't be expecting anything remotely "fancy-pants". During our southern barbecue binge, we literally stumbled upon this place while looking for yet another hole-in-the-wall barbecue shack that we'd heard about. That other place unfortunately was not to be found; it must have closed, but just as we were despairing over this, we saw a sign for Babe's. It was meant to be; the BBQ angels were looking out for us. We pulled in and asked a gentleman who had just exited the doors and was heading to his car what he thought. He waxed poetic about how good the food was here and told us we'd be crazy not to try it. He said he was originally from Texas and "knew good BBQ" and that he'd traveled all over the south eating BBQ over the years and that Babe's was one of the best. We quickly parked our car. We're so glad we took his advice. This place is beyond unpretentious but with delicious country-style food. It is the antithesis of "fine dining" and that was fine by us. It's the typical southern BBQ set-up of a meat plus two sides. There is no alcohol license so tea, water or soft drinks is what you can get. I got the pork ribs here and my husband got the brisket. Both were absolutely delicous, mouthwateringly savory and tender, expertly smoked and barbecued. We were in southern barbecue heaven. Although I can't imagine someone who is not a meat eater wanting to come here but if you were such a person and found yourself dragged here by BBQ fiends, there are plenty of delicious sides like the mac and cheese that could easily make you swoon. The desserts, which were an assortment of southern style cakes looked quite tempting, but we both were too full to do more than gaze lovingly at the display. There was a beautiful Red Velvet cake for one. I used the rest room here and I am happy to report that it was clean and not scary. On the way out we talked to one of the cooks who was outside at that smoker shack. He was generous with his cooking and meat smoking tips but something tells me, that even with our own smoker set-up at home it may be hard to reach the culinary heights of this humble place. . read more

I have only been here once but the brisket sandwich I had was amazing. I have to make it back one day

Really good barbecue here. Stopped by for lunch. The restaurant was full on a Monday lunch time. We had the pork plate and the Low Country pork barbecue sandwich. The Low Country is chopped pork barbecue sandwich. The pork is served with slaw on the bun. The pork plate came with your choice of side. Sauce is at the table. read more

First time. Real Texas-style barbeque smoked to perfection. The servings are enormous. Will be visiting again.

Some of the best barbecue around! I have to get the buffalo shrimp every time, it's that good!

It's good food but if your a local and try to call before lunch you can give that up cause I feel like they keep the phone off the hook so they can't take pick up orders read more

Awesome BBQ spot. Food came out fast and was very good. Really good sauce, really good sides. And the service is top notch, the gals who seat you and wait on you couldn't be nicer. Nicest waitress I've ever had. Excellent all around! read more

Babes bbq wow, one of the best places i have eaten at, we where there with some friends on vacation from philadelphia. This was the best bbq we had in GA and the BEST customer service we had in GA, they will treat you above and beyond! And the food is to die for, the brisket cheesesteak was the best sandwich i have had! read more

Solid bbq spot. Nothing special about the place but good solid place for a good meal.

2 stars bc the bbq pork was good & togo cashier was a sweetheart. Few things infuriate me more than when someone steals from me. I ordered 2 lbs to go. I get home and open boxes... right away knew one of the boxes way short on pork. After weighing meat, I can confirm it was 1/2 lb short. No excuses, the owner made both my togo order. At $20/per pound, I expect what I pay for. read more

Very nice establishment with considerate nice employees. The experience was great a few things about the food but overall not bad. I think that the quality of the food should have been a little better than what I got but I may have come a little too close to closing time. So I ended up with the leftovers for the day but hey that's on me. If I'm ever up that way again for business and I'm staying a week or so then I'd give it another go. Also I would eat in this time as well the Togo was not the way to go either for this visit. read more

We literally followed our noses to some delicious barbecue! You smell barbecue as you drive down the highway and we decided to turn around and go find it. So glad we did. Yes, it is indeed a shack with a 2nd shack which serves as the smoke house next door. You know as soon as you walk in and see the guys behind the counter that you're likely in good hands. You could picture any of them participating in a barbecue competition very easily. They just look like they know what they're doing. Hubby ordered the brisket sandwich with cole slaw and I went for the plate of ribs with a side of mac and cheese. They cook spare ribs here, which was just fine by me. My meal cost $7.95 and when it was delivered to my table, I was amazed with the pile of ribs it contained. For $7.95 I got a mother lode of ribs that were fall off the bone tender and delicious! Their barbecue sauce has a mustard base and it's really yummy. We also brought a hot version of the sauce in a squirt bottle to the table for adding a little kick. I had plenty of ribs to share with hubby, which delighted him no end. My mac & cheese was a perfect side and actually stayed hot all the way through my lunch. My boy's brisket was really delicious but a bit messy to eat as a sandwich. I would have preferred a pile of it on my plate to the sandwich. We didn't know we were about to find a little hidden gem when we followed our noses in here and we're soooo happy we did! read more

We weren't even looking for a place to eat as we drove by but the smell ( even with our car windows closed!) caused us to literally turn around a half mile up the road as we looked at each other and said, wow, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yep, it is that good. Like a magnet that smell.... Sure it looks decrepit and probably just on the line regarding health department certification but hey, we are talking supreme barbecue here my friends!!! The smoke house with the stacks of wood outside and the smoke wafting into your nostrils is a great introduction to what lies inside this small, order at the counter from a chalkboard menu "dive". But I'm here to tell you this is some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten - anywhere!! My brisket was unbelievable and the burnt ends spectacular. I thought I'd hit the jackpot until I tasted my wife's short ribs. OMG!! A huge plate of ribs for $7.95? Unheard of!! Fall off the bone, perfect smoke, incredible BBQ sauce, cooked to perfection. This is BBQ nirvana!! It doesn't get any better than this. Anywhere. This is the end of the rainbow. Wow. read more

Service was the slowest I have ever encountered. Had the half chicken and it was just disgusting.Appetizers never came out because our slow waitress forgot. My son had the burger and said it was just okay. It wouldn't have been so bad if the service wasn't excruciating. Sat there staring at our food filled plates waiting desperately for her to remove them and she just handed us the check and still left the dirty dishes and gross food in from of us. Reviews were promising but our experience was negative. read more

The service was good. And the BBQ itself is smoky but didn't strike me as a particularly good value. The BBQ sauces are ok with a little spice in one and a little sweetness in the other. My problem was with the smoked fried chicken. It appears that they actually cook this chicken fully both ways because I have never had such dry meat in my life. I started with the dark meat and it was as dry as dry chicken breast. This is something of an achievement as it is difficult to dry out dark meat to this extent. There was also burnt "bark" on the chicken. It doesn't work that way on chicken. Of course if the dark meat was this dry, the white meat was hopeless and, in fact, it was like cardboard. And I don't just mean this as a clichéd metaphor, I mean it literally reminded me of chewing paper when I was an elementary school student (I know, I know, but kids do dumb things.) Except the paper was not so dry. I told the server my opinion but I also asked her not to say anything to the kitchen until after we left. The sides are so-so. Surprisingly the collards are UNDERcooked, which is not a complaint I foresaw myself making. The brunswick stew belongs to that all-too-common class of "BBQ sauce with garnish"--it's like calling a tartar sauce "egg salad". (And it suffers in comparison in particular because my friend had made such a delightful version with leftovers earlier in the month.) Cole slaw was bland. Mac and cheese was pretty standard. Usually I go to Streamliner (and isn't that much further away) or its sister restaurant, Sandfly BBQ but they were closed on this day. I'll probably try somewhere else next time. read more

What a great find when we were literally passing through savannah. Great service and excellent food. I got the brisket and wow!! So tender and their homemade bbq sauce is excellent. My wife got the grilled shrimp dinner and the seasoning was delicious. For the kids their chicken tenders were excellent, nice and fresh. What made this place extra special is even on a busy lunch hour they were were very nice to my 2 young children. My only negative was there wasn't more brisket on my plate. I highly recommend this place and hope to return to savannah to try their ribs and other dishes. read more

a really good hamburger needs no ketchup, mustard or mayonaise. I added the lettuce, tomatoes, onion and pickles. 1 bite and I knew it was the best hamburger I have eaten in years. I took 1 star for the barbeque chicken which was a bit dry. all the sides...stew, beans, greens were excellent. The service from Nina was first class! The change to fives stars after I realized their chicken was not the one I was given. Their chicken was amazing according to someone who ate it. read more

My wife and I stopped by for early dinner and this place is awesome. The buffalo shrimp appetizer was pretty good, but we were expecting the shrimp to be grilled and they had a coating on them that must have meant they were deep fried. They were still great, but not what we were expecting. I got the two meat platter and that was quite possibly the best brisket I have ever had. Guy Fieri needs to take notice and try this brisket. The ribs were fall off the bone, which you would expect from a chain; but these folks make everything from scratch! Very impressed. read more

Nothing wrong here except entrance to the restaurant a little tricky. We ate a chopped pork plate with potato salad and a brisket plate with baked beans. All really good. The pickles seem to be homemade and are delicious, and I'm not really a pickle person. The sauce was not vinegary like we find in NC or smoky like we find in Texas but it was tasty and good. We asked for more! Hope we can come back. read more

Fast friendly service. This is my go to lunch place when I get to Savannah. I highly recommend this place.
