These wings are smoked and then fried before being tossed in the flavor of your choosing. They are huge and always perfected cooked. I absolutely love the atmosphere and old school feel of JDs. A small bar and massive dining hall with lots of fun art on the walls. The place always smells fantastic from the smoker too. Service is alway the best. All of the servers are super friendly and quick with taking orders and getting drinks. Aside from the wings we have tackled all the apps, sides, and some of the bbq. So far we have been impressed with just about everything. The hush puppies, fried jalapeno, and collard greens are among my favorites. Honestly one of my favorite spots! Definitely worth checking out.

Everything was delicious, especially the fall off the bone ribs and the brisket. Let me tell you, I've had BBQ from Texas to Carolina to Santa Maria and have never had better brisket than what I had at Big Shanty. It was super tender, juicy, and so flavorful. The crew was super friendly too and I'd like to give a shout out to Paul and Lori. Keep doing what you're doing and I hope to see you again sometime soon. Thanks for the great food and friendship and I'll wear my Big Shanty Smokehouse and Willingham's World Championship BBQ t-shirts with pride!

Good barbeque - Cute staff…read more I usually order their Beef Brisket or BBQ Pork. I like their Fried Okra, Mac & Cheese, French Fries, Onion Rings and Mashed potatoes. Corn Bread! I have never had it like this before - like a pancake. They call them "golden-fried cornbread patties." Yum! The place is casual and comfortable. The staff is friendly and always treats me well. They are located in The Shoppes Of Acworth shopping center. There is plenty of parking. It is easy to get into and out of the shopping center. When leaving, if you want to go south on Hwy 41, exit the shopping center to Mars Hill Rd - go left, then turn left onto Hwy 41.

My navigation took me on a super convoluted route, so if you know where North Cobb Highschool is, they're located across the street from N Cobb Highschool's gym. When exiting to leave, there's no left turns so be forewarned, you might have to do some finagling to leave via Blue Springs. I may have missed it because I was so focused on nav, but I think the business park should get better signage (both at the street and once you turn in). If not for the Too Good To Go app, I would never have realized this business existed. They also opted to use one of those handwriting fonts for their logo so even the storefront signage can be a little hard to read from a distance - even with my 20/20 vision. Lol. Interior Clean, bright, well lit. Customer Service Five plus stars. The owner, Clay, reminded me of home (my small town hometown). Super friendly. Super welcoming. Super jovial. While I waited, I had the opportunity to chat with his lovely daughter, Breanna (sp?) and she was an absolute sweetheart. Price / Value They appear to have lots of affordably priced meals. The QRC on the postcard launches their website, versus a pdf of a traditional menu, so you kinda have to scroll through as though you're trying to place an order. I was lured in by some tasty looking pork chops and salmon in their Google photos. And the macaroni & cheese looked like the the kind I love. (This type of mac n cheese used to be called 'Southern custard style' but now it seems to be called Béchamel style or Greek Béchamel since a true Béchamel supposedly has no eggs. Whatever its called, I prefer it over the runny Velveeta style mac n cheese that has gotten so popular.) Food I mentioned the Too Good To Go App earlier. That's what brought me here. Unfortunately, I have a shellfish allergy and my 'Surprise Bag' was a shrimp dinner. I won't go into details here because I don't want others to give Mr. Clay a hard time if they find themselves in the same situation - but suffice it to say, Mr. Clay did his absolute best to not let me leave hungry. I did, ultimately, try some of the yellow rice and steamed veggies. I can safely say that the yellow rice is actual turmeric rice. Overall Even though I didn't get a chance to eat an actual meal, I wanted to make sure I posted a review with the hopes of providing breadcrumbs for others to find this hidden gem. If I had to list a negative, I'd just say that I think they'd benefit from an actual 'formal' menu. I'm 'old enough' that I find it somewhat frustrating to have to visit a 'web store' and click through as though I'm trying to place an order - versus looking at a menu with items grouped (ie meals, sandwiches, salads, sides, etc) and good descriptions. Several items show 'out of stock' or 'low stock.' I do like that they seem to have gone out of their way to post photos of food and provided descriptions in the 'featured menu items' section. I'll definitely be back to try the salmon, whiting, collard greens and macaroni & cheese.

Order a side of sauce if you like saucy they don't absorb the sauce like fried wings do. The ranch was excellent as well. Let's talk meat. The smoked chicken. I mean it is perfection.
