    Bigun's Barbeque is located between Ellijay and Jasper. Can't miss their big sign or any of their signs. Quickly pulled up to their parking lot which is big and plenty of space. Lots of outdoor seating and they also have a drive through window. Just follow their entrance signs then the enter here sign but somehow missed the order here sign once inside. Thanks to the cashier for waving at us we then got back on track. Cashier was wonderful super nice and friendly. We ordered a couple of the 4 meat platter ($24) with choices of brisket, pulled pork, bbq ribs, turkey and pork sausage. For the sides mashed potatoes, geen beans, mac and cheese and potato salad. All the sides were really good but the meats not so much. The pulled pork was flavorless, brisket was on the dry side, ribs fell of the bone but were also flavorless and could not taste the smoke flavor. Turkey and pork sausage were the best. You get your choices of sauces . I stuck with original sweet bbq. My biggest disappointment was the corn bread. It was actually more of a corn meal muffin. No corn flavor and it was dry. You get two with your platter. I regret not ordering the Texas toast. Overall the place was clean, spacious with plenty of parking, great staff, signs everywhere but not the best bbq food I ever had.

    Craving for some good local BBQ while visiting near Ellijay and will continue to look. Bigun's BBQ was good but not the best I've had before. Stars of the day was the amazing cashier who took our order. He was the best! Friendly, bubbly, helpful, patient, and super nice. Not the best Bbq when the sides outshine the meats. Might be an off day with the breeze but as you pull up, we didn't get that smoky bbq smell that you're normally accustomed to at a bbq joint. Not a lot of smoke flavor in the meats. Brisket was a little bit on the dryer side. Pulled pork was basic. Ribs were good and fall off the bone tender. Pork sausage was amazing as it was crispy and juicy. The turkey was good. Sides were amazing as everything was on point and flavorful. Only disappointment was the so called cornbread. It was more of a cornmeal muffin. Grainy, dry, crumbly and lacking flavor. Overall it was okay bbq. Bbq sauces were wonderful and side were great and service was amazing.

    Bbq for the win! Biguns was the lunch suggestion of my coworker. She shared it was a consistent stopping spot of her family when they were in Elijay area. The staff at the counter where you place your order were engaging and helpful, the restaurant was clean and quiet- we sat on the outside porch, and the server who brought out our food was spot on with the conversation. There's plenty of parking- from motorists to motorcycle riders to someone hauling a trailer (and more). It was a wonderful atmosphere to dine. I ordered the brisket platter (comes with two sides) and the star was the Mac and cheese. It's not your traditional over baked casserole- it was a creamy, velvety dish of love.

    Little PORK sandwich (4oz). We did not order a side. It was served with pickles on the side. Delicious

    Pleasantly surprised at the Delicious food, excellent service and super clean restaurant. We visited at 11:54. We ordered a Little Pork Sandwich (4oz) with no side, it was served with pickles only. That's how we ordered it. We also ordered a Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs (Dry Rubb), and they were perfectly cooked, served with 2 sides. The ribs had no fat, all meat. The restaurant has a drive-thru and take out counter outside. Plenty of parking for RVs, bus, trailers. I will definitely return.

    We drove up to try their Brunswick stew. The counter service was friendly and so were the servers. Ambiance was roomy comfy booths and all wooden cabin feel(it is N GA). I agree with the internet reviews as the Brunswick stew was worth the time and gas to get here. The pork was tender and not dry. The corn bread and okra topped off a great meal. There was a choice of six sauces ( one gluten free) . My favorite was the " talking rock tangy" and Carolina mustard BBQ sauce"! A few are hot so those were not for me. The menu is varied so vegetarian's can eat here too. Sweet tea was not overly sweet. We were so full that no dessert was necessary.:)

    I last reviewed Bigun's 8 years ago. It's changed some- the layout is better with a paved parking lot, ample seating inside and out and it's very clean, including the bathrooms. We ordered a full rack of glazed ribs (you can also get them dry) and extra sides to split amongst the 3 of us. The ribs were delicious and plentiful. The meat fell off the bone. There are 6 sauces at the table to try with them. It's a great variety. I personally love the sweet. The collard greens were a bland but they have hot pepper sauce by request. The green beans were more like pieces. They aren't as good as Bojangles or Bill Miller BBQ (in TX). The Mac and Cheese was deliciously creamy with a fun shape and lots of cheese. The cole slaw is good but if you're looking for carrots and a little tang, it's not here. The Texas toast was perfectly toasted, the baked beans were yummy with pieces of pork throughout, the banana pudding was fresh and the best I've had! We love this local joint and will come back for sure!

    Brisket and pork were good. Pork sausage was amazing! Moist and tasty. Ordering is at the counter and then you grab your drink and find a place to sit. Didn't even make it to my table and food was coming out of the kitchen. All employees were super nice and helpful.

    The food was pretty good, but the staff and service not so much. Worth eating, but order over the phone and have food togo.

    Do they have heated ourdoor seating?

    Don't think so. It it is enclosed a little as we sat out aside with it being rainy and a little chilly. It was quite pleasant

Choate BBQ is new and so therefore the whole restaurant felt very clean and their BBQ and sides were definitely on point. We got the double brisket and ribs and got 6 sides of which all was absolutely spectacular. The brisket was fire but the ribs were simply phenomenal. For dessert we got the peach cobbler with ice cream and banana pudding. Lunch was so delicious we bought an extra brisket to bring home for our sons. Our waitress Jodi was very friendly and helpful throughout our meal and the service was fantastic. The BBQ sauces were very delicious and we found that all three were great separate and even good mixed together. Parking was very easy and I am happy to say Choate BBQ does BBQ right and is a great place to dine if you are visiting Gibbs Garden or are in the area. 5 solid Stars and two thumbs up!

Plenty of seating with a friendship table in the middle and a good looking bar. Service with an attitude! A good attitude, service was on point and upfront about all the food and what you were getting. We were told the brisket was done (all out) but had the trimmings left. Wasn't my wife's favorite, but I did enjoy what she didn't finish. Great Bbq sauce also, with the sweet and mean being my fave. If you are reading this stop on by and enjoy this place.
