It feels like a place that simply never stopped being what it has always been. The old pit, the brick walls, the long tables, the signs on the walls, and the simple serving line all remind you that Fresh Air has been doing this for a very long time. One thing worth knowing before you arrive: this is Carolina-style pulled pork with a vinegar-forward sauce. If you're expecting sweet barbecue sauce, reset your expectations before that first bite. This is a different barbecue tradition, and that's part of what makes the experience interesting. We ordered the Deluxe Plate, which comes with pulled pork, Carolina barbecue sauce, homemade Brunswick stew, homemade coleslaw, a dill pickle spear, and two slices of plain white bread wrapped in plain white paper. That little package of white bread may not sound like much, but it perfectly fits the restaurant. Nothing here is trying to be fancy. The focus is on the food and the tradition behind it. The lady who took our order was very nice and a wonderful example of Southern hospitality. She patiently answered our questions, helped explain the menu, and recommended the lemonade. She told me it was excellent, and she was right. My cousin said the Brunswick stew may be the best she has ever had. I'll let that statement speak for itself. Fresh Air Barbecue has been serving barbecue for nearly a century. Looking around the dining room, enjoying the food, and talking with the people who work there, it is easy to understand why people keep coming back. Some restaurants serve food. Others become part of a state's history. Fresh Air Barbecue is one of those places.

I can't think of how to describe the BBQ here except as baby food…read more The service and space are fine but, the food just didn't cut it for us. Friends who grew up in the area told me that they'd never recommend it to me. I wish I'd spoken to them beforehand. We shall not return.

It can get a bit crowded, and that said to me that's where I needed to be. I tried a few times and couldn't get inside. But I finally got in, and I see why people like it so much. It's very family friendly, as I had my niece with me. Plus, overall, the waitress was very nice, and the service was fast. Now what a surprise, a special sausage was on the menu. It's hard to find what I call red rose sausages, and cooked with a little burnt, the way I like them. Well, they are here! Of course, I ordered the grits, and there were no lumps. Those are the best kind of grits. We ordered a breakfast sandwich. It's been a while since I had one. We shared that, and it brought back memories. We actually closed down the place. As you can see in the pictures, it got empty. But when you find a great, delicious breakfast with red rose sausages that remind you of home, you'll sit there, enjoying the food and forgetting about the time.

I like to try new restaurants so headed down to Griffin and decided to give this place a shot. It was crowded, but we were able to be seated rather quickly. Our server was attentive and very nice. She did a good job explaining the different items and any specials that they had.. we opted for cheeseburger or breakfast plate, and I swapped out the bacon for fried chicken breast. Also got the lunch plate with mac & cheese and fried okra.. the fried chicken breast was absolutely delicious and so was the okra. I wasn't a huge fan of the pancake, but I got the plain one.

They are very small for the price you pay. They aren't super expensive but for what it costs, the portions are still small. It's a small critique but I still highly recommend!

We each chose a fun cocktail and they came out quickly and were delicious. The pimento cheese dip was interesting; I wouldn't get it again, but we were starving and ate it. The stars of the show were the smoked trout panini and the brisket melt. Both were so yummy! So was the Gouda cheese grits! Amazing service, great food. What more could you ask for?

The server was on it and we never wanted for anything. We tried some of their seasonal adult beverages and even had the bartender come out and suggest some of her favorite old fashioned recipes. We had raw oyster and they were nice size and just what we were looking for. We had a pasta dish that used bow tie noodles, steak and cheese. I was surprised at how good it was. It was a perfect day out so we were able to take advantage of the outdoor patio. Again highly recommend Yahola if you have never been.

New kid on the BBQ block and they're coming in hot. I stopped by during their soft opening to try…read morethe J Walker Platter and let me tell you... it's a feast. For $54.99, you get a 1/2 lb of brisket, four ribs, a quarter chicken, four sausage links, and sides of mac and cheese, green beans, cole slaw, and Brunswick stew. It says it feeds four, and it's definitely a share-worthy spread. That said, a couple things stood out. First, they were out of chicken, but they made it right by letting us double up on meats of our choice. We got extra ribs and sausages, which were a great swap. The brisket? Tender and flavorful. The ribs? Smoky and satisfying. Sausage? Juicy with a snap. Honestly, the protein game was strong. My only real gripe? The mac. If that container was 12 oz, I'm the Queen of England. lol No, but seriously, it barely had enough for each of us to get a taste and it was only 3 of us. IYKYK, in the South, mac n cheese is sacred - less is not more :). The green beans were portioned similarly, but mac being the crowd fave made it feel way more noticeable. Same goes for the to-go BBQ sauces, they were tasty, but not filled equally. Still, this is a soft opening, so I'm chalking a lot of that up to early growing pains. Inside seating is available with about 8 4-top tables, or grab it to-go (which we did). Service was quick since everything's prepped, and we loved that we got to sample the full menu with one platter. Pro tip: bring friends and come hungry then come back later for your faves. I know I will!

The strawberry cinnamon roll was especially dry and lacked the soft, fresh texture we expected. The mac and cheese was very oily or overly buttery and tasted bland, as if it needed more seasoning. The staff and service were excellent. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and professional. I would absolutely give the customer service five stars.
