You couldn't taste anything but vinegar. That's not the good southern BBQ we were used to. It was more like Carolina BBQ, which is horrible. But, I'm not counting you out. Maybe it was just a bad day or maybe you've changed it altogether. I hope it goes back to the way it was.

Traveling in Georgia and had to try the local barbecue. Papa Bucks is a busy place with locals…read moreenjoying the food. Restaurant looks like an old gas station from the outside (it may actually have been one). Good job of renovating the place inside. Comfortable looking. Order at the counter. Papa Bucks has pork, brisket, chicken, St Louis Style Ribs, burgers and such. Sides include standards like baked beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, fries, potato salad and such things as brunswick stew, sweet potato puffs, fried okra, and deep fried corn. I went with the 2 meat combo plate and chose pulled pork and brisket with coleslaw and baked beans. Meats were tender. Brisket was good, but a little more time to render down the fat would have been appreciated. Pork was tasty as well as the coleslaw. Beans seemed a bit overworked/overcooked and had a mealy mouth feel to them which was a bit offputting. Portions were decent as well as prices.

Amazing food and even better service! The pulled pork plate is huge! There was so much food I…read moreneeded a to-go box for my bbq and sides. All the food was great but the potato salad is beyond delicious. I would drive two hours to buy it again. The staff here goes above and beyond; our waitress ran out to the parking lot to return my purse after we left it at the table. You won't find better BBQ or more attentive service anywhere else!

Great spot right off the highway, a very nice place to stop and be introduced to some Georgia BBQ…read more We picked up a couple of pulled pork sandwiches, we opted for the "big boy" which is an 8 oz. serving of pork. It was plenty of food, but it made the sandwich a bit dry, which is not common as we have had plenty of sandwiches in GA and they tend to be pretty wet. The sauce was good, then again we needed more than usual because of the meat ratio. You live and you learn type of situation for me. The fries were good, and the mac was tops.

The owner Minister Tyler is a very friendly guy. Deeply religious, and willing to share his interesting background if you ask. Food was good, cooked to order: catfish, cabbage, rice, and sweet potatoes. Fresh, but not extraordinary. Wish I'd ordered the oxtails in retrospect. A few things: No forks, so I had to eat lunch with a spoon. No diet drinks. No iced tea, sweet or unsweetened. I don't think I'd try the pineapple lemonade again. Tables were rickety, uncomfortable. It was all a bit (or more than a bit) hard to fully comprehend. Almost no other customers. That said, it is a lunch I'll remember for a while, and will tell others about. If you're up for an unusual meal adventure, I'd say go for it. It's really something to see for yourself. Personally, I wish the charismatic Minister Tyler luck and success in his restaurant. I'm not sure I'll be back. But I found it to be an interesting experience, for sure.

Harry's appealed at first because they have a very spacious dining room with good separation…read morebetween tables. When we got there, we were impressed with the plexiglass between us and the staff, although it was a bit off putting to see the lady who took our order with her mask hanging from an ear. Nevertheless, the plexiglass was between us and the lady who brought our order to us wore a mask. I couldn't see if the cooks were wearing masks or not. This restaurant appears to be newly constructed and all the furniture was new and clean. The floor was clean, too. The food? We'll, I was disappointed. The Cole slaw was real strange. It has no mayonnaise and tasted like ground up salad. The Brunswick Stew was more like potato soup than Stew, very little meat or any ingredient other than potatoes was in evidence (although, it was not too bad as a potato soup). The BBQ had no flavor at all, so it required a liberal application of the sauce to be palatable. However, my wife ordered the whole catfish and declared it delicious. Her French fries were also good. Overall? While not something I would recommend to friends, I want to return and try some different items on the menu before I recommend against this restaurant. As a new business, they may get better over time as people give them feedback. I hope they succeed, as the facility is good and I love small town restaurants.
