The best bbq you can find anywhere near Dawsonville. They give you so much for the money and it is…read morealways perfect. Some of the reviews are crazy, they are so wrong, in my opinion. I always go for the pulled pork. I get a pound and it makes me three good meals with leftovers. Being a single, it is nice to find such quality that I can take out and enjoy several days. The sauce is really good in my opinion. And if you really want a treat, try the banana pudding. Yummy x 2.

The staff were so incredibly kind, the prices are affordable, a rack of ribs is $25, that was so tender, not over seasoned and did I mention HOT like the temperature was not warm!

I have bought their bacon and roasts. Both were great. Service is always friendly and competent. This is a family-run restaurant, so they have a vested interest in your satisfaction.

Yonger is a rare shop, in my humble opinion, for east coast since healthy choices both in markets and eateries are like trying to find a needle in a haystack so my heart happy knowing this exists here not far from where we stayed at just minutes from our children's maternal great-grandparents home. So many wonderful options and staff was friendly from the time we walked in to the moment of checkout. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking for more sustainable items or at least a healthier choice here and there.

A lot of food, and I was really full. The Brisket was only okay. A little dry, even though I had requested the point (fatty part). Probably would not get this again. Ribs were decent, although they didn't have very smoky flavor. Almost as if it were cooked on a pellet grill. The highlight were the Sauces, which were great, and there were a bunch of options The pecan pie was terrible unfortunately. Recommend just skipping desert, especially since the food portions are large. Clientele were mainly elderly, so even though we arrived early we had to wait. And when we left, the place was almost empty.

This new Sav-Mor Foods location opened early April 2018 in the same spot as an Ingles that closed…read morein Westgate Plaza. It is part of a chain that operates stores in NC, SC and TN. They do NOT have a website. They ARE owned by Ingles yet Ingles makes no mention ANYWHERE on its website that they exist. I went to the Grand Opening and there were management folks all over like at an Ingles opening but to a lesser scale. They promote themselves as a discount store. There is also a chain in the regions called Sav A Lot, and this is not them. There is also a Sav Mor in Alabama and I dont believe this is them either. Northern California has a chain called Sav,Mor Foods and this is not them. This chain uses a dot between Sav and Mor and this chain here in NC SC TN uses a dash -. If you look around the store you can find a few bargains but nothing to get excited about. Opening week had nice Pineapples and Cantaloupe for $1.50 each. Canned vegetables, not a name brand were 39c can. The help in the store is 100% new. NONE of the Ingles help stayed on to work here. The workers will readily tell you yes this is owned by Ingles. You will also see Laura Lynn products throughout the store. The yellow shelf labels are just like Ingles. However you cant scan your Ingles card. They have no such card. They also DONT have bakeries, delis, or you scan. Only regular human checkers. They do have an area of Hispanic/Mexican foods. Whats also different is you will find a few things that a regular Ingles would never carry. One odd one is a flat of No Name No label Cat food in monster cans. Most cat foods I thought were small cans the size of tuna cans or smaller. These are BIG cans. Must be some monster cars around these parts! (photo posted) 12 unmarked cans sealed on a flat for $4.17. Thats less than 35c a can! I dont think it gets any cheaper than that! These can sizes really puzzle me though. I wonder what this stuff is really used for? Another thing you can get here is some of the less fashionable parts of the animal in the meat dept. They had pork tails, pork stomach, pork ears, pork neck bones, pork feet, beef tongue,beef feet, beef tripe. Some people use some of these things for bone broth which is now in fashion for health. They dont have a website so you cant look at a flyer online. In the store they have a small 8 1/2 x 11 sheet with specials at the door. The help was friendly and I wish them success in Franklin.

They have good supplies of gluten-free items, and their Harvest Farms sirloin steaks are deliciously tender. I use them often as a Personal Chef.
