    Buffalo chicken dip
    Keith F.

    They are doing a lot of things the right at this restaurant. We had wonderful service from each of the employees including the manager and owner. Throughout We sat at the bar within our view was a large tv, playing sports. This place was much larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. It was clean and well organized. Many of the customers who came in knew the service and vice versa. The food was delicious. It was well seasoned and cooked right. The fried pickles were thick cut and perfect. The chicken dip with chips was very good. The chicken I had for my entree was moist and flavorful. This is a welcomed addition to the Ball Ground food scene.

    Brisket

    Cherokee County has better BBQ options. I ordered brisket from the point/fatty end and received a plate with a few cubes and what appeared to be chopped up beef. Looked and tasted like I got whatever happened to be left over from slicing up a dry brisket. Brunswick stew seemed off as well as it was the first time I've ever had a stew without any liquid in it.

    First let me say the actual location no longer exist. The owners decided to take their show on the road full time in the form of a food truck. We had tried a sandwich once at a festival but they were out of everything else and we finally were able to try the brisket. Oh boy this brisket guys...it is the best around. I'm not kidding. Great color, flavor, texture, seasoning and portion size. We didn't even need sauce. There were several good sauces but this brisket stood on it's own. The baked beans have a nice kick to them and the mac n cheese was good too. I can't say enough about the food and the owners came out and chatted and even sat with us. If you see this food truck follow it and eat the brisket.

    Choate is the real deal when it comes to BBQ. We went on a Tuesday night, they had trivia night going on, but we didn't have a problem finding a table. Their special was burnt ends which is my favorites. I got them on top of their loaded tots and it was delicious! The other person in my party got mac n cheese topped with pulled pork. Their mustard BBQ sauce, which has to be one of my favorite, went perfectly with that. The mustard sauce was just the right balance between sweet and tangy. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable of their products. They cater and do bulk meat by the pound for larger parties. This place is great with a good vibe and yummy food.

    You can find their food truck frequently behind Truck and Tap in downtown Woodstock and they have great Brisket and Pulled Pork.

    This little food truck has incredible BBQ! The brisket and pulled pork are delicious - as is the sauce-generous portions too.

    If I could give negative stars I would!! I have NEVER seen a place ran more poorly! My husband…read moreand I decided to stop for the first time ever at the Ball ground Burger Bus, excited to try it!! When we entered, we were discouraged to stay and told there would be a wait. When I asked if anyone was close to finishing their meal, I was told no that everyone there had just been seated! We waited 35 minutes for a table (which is fine BUT..) when they decided to seat a family of 4 before us that had only been there for 15 minutes. The family they were seating was even SO shocked that they looked at us and said no you guys were here first and apologized. When I asked the young waitress why she skipped us, she replied that the table was for 4. I expressed that it was not ok to skip over us and that we were not going to keep waiting while they continue to skip over us and that we would leave. She shrugged and said "Ok" while the short fat woman that was training her looked in our faces and loudly said "Oh well"! When we got in the car and I called for the manager, she first blamed us for leaving and then tried to blame the waitress in training. I'm not sure what training has to do with common sense or etiquette but it seems as though none of the 3 women had either! This ENTIRE experience was HORRIBLE!!
