Sunday I went in this restaurant to do a takeout order for a quart of their baked beans and was told I would have to wait 45 minutes. Needless to say I left. It was only 4:47 pm and they seemed to be understaffed and had no take out designated staff or spot to order take out. read more

Everything you'd expect, great ribs, que, sauce and sides! Excellent service! Great bar and restaurant! read more

Butt Hutt BBQ - Ribs, puller pork, baked beans and coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Just moved back to Athens and have been to the restaurant weekly. We have really enjoyed the food. Seems like they have really stepped up their food since we moved back. My wife had the wings on wing night and loved both the dry rubbed and the medium sauced wings. I had the veggie platter which has the best potato salad. It is creamy and delicious. The fried okra is tasty and the stew good. Our nephew loved his combo platter. The mac n cheese was good and enjoyed the ribs and chopped chicken. Our server was so nice and provided great service. Definitely in our restaurant rotation. read more

Butt Hutt BBQ has outstanding service and they had exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend their fried okra and the dry rub wings! If you're looking for authentic BBQ this is a perfect place to check out. read more

when i rate this a 5 star rating please don't go in there expecting michelin stars and fancy china. their trivia is so awesome and there's always a crowd. to date i haven't had better wings and ranch that weren't out of a food truck. i also love their green beans and half chicken plate (basically a better version of crispy rotisserie chicken). they have the best potato salad (and i hate potato salad) bar none. best bbq you'll eat on a paper plate and i'll put money on it read more

I preordered a smoked Turkey for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely amazing and very juicy. Today is Sunday and it's still very juicy and delicious three days after thanksgiving! Definitely ordering one every year from here on out! Craig Lee sure knows his way around the smoker. I also ordered 50 smoked wings for our watch party for the Georgia/Alabama game and they were also delicious! Definitely recommend smoked wings whenever you have a party, but with smoked wings you need to preorder a few days ahead of time. read more

food was good but wait staff was horrible. literally placed drink order and watched waiter talk for nearly 20 min to friends before I asked if we could get our drinks and he became rude. He finally went and got drinks but attitude stayed read more

Super fun Friday night. Live music was perfect and food was great. Baked beans were awesome. Service was great--our gal was super nice and high energy. All in all, a really fun casual way to have dinner on a Friday read more

I had a meeting over the University of Georgia campus and I've heard about the butt hutt so is able to go over and grab some lunch before we went for our meeting. True bbq place with simple interior, bar with cold beer and some really good pulled pork and smoked chicken salad that was the bomb! Got a couple of cold beers and enjoyed our lunch watching some golf. Had great service they were really on the ball very inexpensive very tasty. Highly recommend!!! read more

The brisket is amazing! Wait time/service was also pretty stellar. Very well known hole in the wall, but dont let the beat up booths steer you away. The food is worth it! read more

Sunday may be the wrong time to visit, as they get busy, and they ten to run out of things before replenishing their stocks on Monday. HOWEVER, we went on a Sunday, and still enjoyed our food. My wife and I both got a Buttwich. The name of this sandwich appeals to my inner nine-year-old, and the sandwich itself appeals to my mouth. The shredded pork in that sandwich was tasty, and the regular house sauce is an excellent accompaniment. I tried the mac and cheese, and it did not disappoint. My wife had some fries. They got cold kind-of quickly. We shared some corn fritters and I loved them. My only complaint there is that I want more of them. I took some banana pudding home for dessert. It hit me in all the right places. Excellent stuff. Service was quick and our waitress was very friendly. It's easy to see why this is such a local favorite. read more

Ordered the pork plate for takeout. They were really busy Friday night. The pork was smoked perfectly. Loved the flavor. Also had the okra and corn fritters. It was a good sized helping of okra . The corn fritters were good, but I'll get something else next time. The food was ready and hot when we arrived. Good barbecue place. read more

Some good bbq. Amazing ribs. Pulled pork is good. Brisket isn't bad, but the ribs are wayyy better.

Need some Georgia BBQ - hot vinegar sauce please? Then stop in here. UGA memorabilia? Check! Paper towels to catch the mess? Check! Corn Nuggets? Check! Tender brisket, flavorful ribs - and yes, the butt (pork shoulder) is juicy too. Stop in - but be prepared to roll up your sleeves. read more

so I wanted corn nuggets so bad and searched Yelp for help.. lol Sooooo enters ButtHutt. When I walked in, I was greeted by the nicest cashier. She was so pleasant, even helped me narrow down my choices. I have NEVER eaten here before but I'm glad I did today. I ordered the Pull pork plate with corn nuggets and macaroni and cheese. Im sitting in my car waiting for curbside service. I will be back with an update once i receive my food.. read more

Really enjoy this restaurant. Almost always have excellent service. Most recently 5 star with Ernie. He was SO fabulous, kind to my kids, and polite and thorough. I love the fact that they have the events that they have with live music, karaoke, and trivia. Our favorites foods are their pulled chicken, baked beans, and coleslaw. read more

Butt Hutt BBQ - Enjoying karaoke - Barbeque Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Service was pretty much non existent, took 45 minutes to get the food after 15 minutes to order. Dry, steamed over food that might have been cooked on Friday (today is Sunday) Bunch of young adults running the place, and I say adults tongue and cheek! My last time here as it's gone down hill since the small place on Baxter street. read more

So let's talk about the Butt Hutt!!!! Trivia is an amazing time!!!! So we will start there, great time and laid back atmosphere. The host is a good time and the wait staff if on point for how busy they get. Some of the other customers take it too seriously in my opinion, but other than the buzz kills in the crowd they have great drink deals and the food. Now that we have arrived at the food, it's time to sit down and have a talk..... *queue chefs kiss* this little gem we found! Normally BBQ is a HUGE let down. Literally everywhere. We were skeptical at first but since we arrived super early we decided to give them a shot and boy were we fat and happy about it. We started with the brisket, num num num. it was super tasty and flavor was on point. You didn't need sauce but if you got it, they were all on point, you won't be disappointed. We got onion rings for the side and it brought back memories of getting onion rings at the shore in Jersey. Idk if they were battered in beer but I sure was! Fast forward through a couple of pitchers of epic beer prices and we arrive at the pulled pork homemade potato chip plate appetizer meal thing (I don't remember the name but I sure remember the flavor cause my mouth is watering typing this!) y'all run, don't walk seriously RUN, to this establishment and if you don't do anything else today, you must get here and order this dish!!!! Idk if it is the beer talking or not, but smother that bad boy in the hot bbq sauce and float away into fat kid heaven. I did not care how messy it was, cause I was all in with no eff's given. I'm pretty sure I looked like my tween-age daughter that time I took her to Tuscaloosa to try dreamland bbq (which if you've never been there you better run that way too). I'm talking BBQ sauce all over my face lol. Seriously go support this business so great places like this don't go under! read more

Yummy bbq in a simple setting (yet UGA decor!). They're chopped chicken sandwich always hits the spot. Gotta try their corn nuggets. Servers are courteous and prompt. read more

Charmed by the name, this was the first place that I checked out in Athens. I'm not a big bbq person, so the whole menu was pretty new to me. Everything was great! Corn nuggets - creamed corn deep fried, dusted with salt, maybe sugar and honestly the best damn thing I'd eaten in weeks! Chicken Mull - If smoked chicken potpies were soup, they'd be chicken mull. Incredibly delicious and perfect on freezing winter nights. Banana Pudding - I've avoided eating bananas as a dessert but, in an adventurous mood, went ahead and tried it. Sweet, creamy and flavorful, I'm officially a convert. The service was peachy. The young people working took my order, made recommendations and were pleasant to chat with. read more

Driving thru Athens, stopped for dinner. Was a great place! Great food and wonderfully nice people! Patrons and workers. We will be back!

We visited here last night and was not impressed. The bbq was not fresh, pulled pork was dry, chicken was dry. Potato salad tasted like hose water, beans seemed canned, slaw needed more mayo and seasoning. Very disappointed. Will not go back and cannot recommend. We are bbq fanatics and this just doesn't live up to the price or quality of food. read more

We picked up a basket of ribs with potato salad & a basket with brisket with Mac n' cheese. Both meats were delicious with out sauce, however I tried the vinegar, hot & sweet, all were delicious. The vinegar has a strong black pepper taste, the sweet wasn't overly sweet and complimented the dry rub on the ribs, the hot was spicy but not overly hot. The potato salad has bacon in it & was some of the best potato salad I've ever had. The Mac n' cheese sadly was nothing to write home about. The cost of the meal baskets was reasonably priced, friendly staff. Totally worth the stop. read more

Super nice waitress. BBQ was plentiful and tasty. I made the mistake of getting a side salad which , duh, what was I thinking??? Hello this is a BBQ joint. Corn nuggets were just average. Ribs were really good. Good sweet tea! read more

Don't overlook the pecan pie! It's home made, purportedly by the Butt Hutt owner's mother.

Great food, fast service. Live music was nice. The Buttwich is awesome. The name of the sandwich is hilarious, but really good. Parking can be a challenge, but otherwise, a must visit location when in Athens. read more

Good food but the place is overrun with flies !! I couldn't concentrate on my food .. I was dodging flies!!!

In town for a wedding and found this place. It's just your average hole n the wall. Booths and folding tables and chairs. But the food was great!! I got a combo plate of ribs and pulled pork with bake beans and potato salad. Now the ribs were thick and juicy. They don't cheat on the size and I needed a bib to eat them. Overall everything was great and I would come back. read more

Butt Hutt BBQ - Combo plate. Pulled pork, ribs and bake beans - Barbeque Near Me - Athens, Georgia

Food tasted decent. I was thoroughly disappointed in the portions- for about $24 we received a whopping 2 tbsp of macaroni and cheese, 2 tbsp of Cole slaw, 4 slices of brisket (MAYBE 1/4 pound), 2 pieces of wonder bread, and a medium fry from McDs. This was supposed to feed 2 people and was not remotely satisfying. Disclaimer: was ordered through Bulldawg Food, still assumed it would not change my issues eating in house (the $24 was food only, not taking into account delivery and bulldawg cut). read more

Just had lunch here, I don't understand why people gave two and one star reviews. We started off with the fried pickle chips which were outrageously good with the what-what sauce. I had the rib basket with coleslaw ($9.95) 4 large delicious perfectly cooked ribs, and tasty Cole slaw with a unique spice to it I just could not put my finger on. My son had the butt plate ($9.95) with slaw and corn nuggets- all of which were delicious. We had so much left over - enough for another meal. The staff were all friendly and efficient. The interior was casual and clean. read more

saucehouse was way better in my opinion. I got the brisket last time I went to butt hutt, was very dry and thick cut. when I eat brisket I expect it to be very tender and fall apart. I'll stick to saucehouse for good bbq. read more

This place is a solid/consistent 3 stars. We dine here frequently as it's the best BBQ we've found around Athens that doesn't give me heartburn. BBQ pork sandwich is good. Not a lot of bark usually (which is likely why I don't get heartburn from it but it is the tastiest part). Brisket sandwich is mostly good. I've had it twice, but it's usually very fatty. I asked this last time I had it whether you could order it sliced and you can, so I will do that next time to see if it will be easier to eat and not have to pull globs of fat out of your mouth while dining. This is served on Texas toast. I prefer the bun given the high fat content of the brisket (why add more, right?). Because of the way they chop the meat, it also makes it a bit hard to eat (which may be solved by ordering it sliced). Fries are awesome. Tried the slaw and it's "OK" Stew is overly sweet. My companion would always order this if it was good as it's usually his favorite at BBQ restaurants. Salad -- ugh. I just wish that one BBQ restaurant (other than having to drive to Jim-n-Nick's) would have a decent salad. Iceberg, cheese and tomatoes with meat is not a decent salad, it's more of an afterthought. Chickarones -- I wasn't in the mood for BBQ one day when my companion wanted to go, so I ordered these as my entree protein with a side. They were tasty and crunchy but there were only a couple of small bites of actual chicken meat ... it was mostly just fried chicken skin. I've tried the fried okra a few times and it was good the first time and burned every subsequent time I tried it so I stopped ordering. I really dislike that they use styrofoam cups. Why not buy some cups and wash them? In a town like Athens which is largely environmentally conscious, this is a major faux pas IMO. read more

Ok, so I feel so blindsided!! I've been coming to Butt-Hutt ever since it opened here which was about 2-4 yrs ago...and I've NEVER KNOWN that they had a BAR!! OMGG!!! Where have I been?? My boyfriend and I went here Sunday(3-29-15) and got our usual....pork sandwich and rib plate. I've always been a fan of their food, very tasty and my boyfriend likes it as well. Anywhoo, I was looking around and I saw what appeared to be drink menus(never noticed them before), so when our waitress (who's name I must say, just b/c it's a funny, country name), Julie-Beth came back we asked if they had a bar, and she said "yeah, a full sit-down bar", I was FLOORED!!! "Really?....Unhh-Onnh", so I got up to look, and low and behold there's a bar in the back!!! ROTFLMBO!!! As LONG as I've been coming here, I never knew there was a bar!!....I'm glad I didn't bet my boyfriend b/c I sholl would've lost!! The magarita was just ok...nothing to jump up and down about! Now that we know there's a bar, we mos. def. will partake in some adult beverages from now on at Butt-Hutt! read more

This place was honestly terrible. I love BBQ and was looking forward to trying it. I got a plate with pork and turkey. First of all they give a slice of bread. Like, straight bread from a bag not toasted or anything. The pork tasted like it was days old, the turkey was absolutely microwaved. Trust me, I've eaten thanksgiving left overs and that turkey was nasty. Just save your money and time and go somewhere else. read more

I have placed two large pickup orders from here, and both times something has been left out. I placed an order this past Saturday 12/4 and not only were items left out but we received two quarts of soured Mull. Needless to say and not that it matters but I won't be ordering from here again. I get it that no one wants to work anymore, and not many people have good work ethic these days but do better with what you have. read more

I was on hold for 5mins tonite (Thursday 5/6) & no one cared to come back to the phone to take my order. I guess they did not care about me or how much I wanted to order. read more
