Went in with my wife and a friend, we all had ribs and sides. Ribs were nicely rubbed and cooked perfectly fall off the bone tender. We will go back and try their other meats. Their prices are a bit high compared to the other smoke houses. However it was worth it. read more

THE place in Dublin to get great BBQ. The food here is authentic. From the early days of the competition circuit to a time of being a food truck and now a restsurant, the owners have not relaxed their standards. read more

Great Brisket, Ribs, and Brunswick Stew! We ate the 2 meat platter with Brisket and Ribs. Our sides included Brunswick Stew and seasoned fries. It was more food than we could eat at one sitting. The rids were tender and savory. I ordered my brisket chopped and lean, it was moist, delicious, and included burnt ends (my fav). I would definitely eat here again when passing through. Also the staff was really nice. read more

I was so excited to try this local bbq place after hearing how good it was. I ordered a rib plate with the famous cowboy baked beans that i heard so much about. Didn't open my plate until i got home and i was super disappointed. 2 tiny ribs and the baked beans tasted burnt. I spent $12 for this meal. Never going back again! read more

You know the pulled pork is good when you consider eating it without the sauce. Yes! It's delicious! I had a pulled pork sandwich with sweet and smoky sauce. I wish we had bought some sauce to take home. Not that they didn't give me a nice portion, I just want more for later . We also got the Brunswick Stew. I decided to take it home so I could savor every scrumptious bite in comfortable clothes. It has a smoky flavor with lots of meat and tomatoes. Yeah, they earned all those trophies with this good food. I hope they have brisket the next time we're in town. read more

Get some good BBQ! We were heading back home after spending the weekend in Atlanta on a Monday and I was Yelping ahead trying to find a lunch place. BBQ is an often a great trip meal as it is so much better than fast food and just as quick. I found that Holy Smokes BBQ was open on a Monday and it was 10-15 minutes off the highway (which was in range as we were running at a leisurely pace ). When your first walk in you see they are serious about their BBQ and have won several contests (a good sign of things to come). We ordered at the counter and asked about combo platters and they offered one that has ribs, pulled pork, brisket and chicken with two sides. We decided to share it and picked Brunswick stew and their Brisket Chili as sides (yeah, heavy in meats..) but we had to try the stew and a brisket chili is uncommon. We ordered tea with lemons and the latter they weren't sure they had any but would check. The drinks are self serve which is fine as it is quicker and easier to grab a lid and a fill up for the to go cup on the way out. The meal came soon after the ribs (4) were meaty and tender with a sweeter sauce than what I typically have liked. They had a nice pink smoke ring but not much/any seasoning on the outside (purists, I guess). We remembered to ask for the lean brisket which came in two thick slices, it was though a little dry for my taste. The chicken we probably messed up and did not order white meat which is our preference (personally, I think if they offer the option they should ask you what you want when ordering...). The leg and thigh was juicy and tender (which is more typical as the test to me is the white meat being that way). I had used their mustard based sauce (one of four homemade types) and found it to be thin and lacking flavor. Their other sauces two ketchup based are both on the sweet side with one being spicier than the other. The final sauce, the one I was most concerned about is the sweet vinegar based one, which was just weird to me as I like a vinegar based sauce to be tangy on my pulled pork. The pork it self was good and lean. The Brunswick stew did not stand out at all (I'd pass if I was a stew fan) but it's fine as it does have some nice sized chunks of meat in it that I liked. The brisket chili was a nice change of pace and worth a try with a good chunks of brisket. We passed on dessert and grabbed our to go teas and hit the road. Food 4 The BBQ is very good, but not enough to pull me off the road craving one or the other. The sauces to me were not my style as I prefer a tangier more flavorful sauce as a personal preference. Atmosphere 3.5 I like the obvious pride they have in their food and the restaurant shows it with competition posters and trophies! Service 2.5 It's counter ordering and self serve drinks which is a standard 3 for that type of service. I expect the detail in the ordering lean meat or burnt ends options, white or dark meat questions. The lemons did make to our table in the middle of the meal, with a nice and ernst apology, as the kitchen did not include it and she got backed up with orders. Price 4 It's good BBQ and the price of the combo was comparable to others I've had. OA 4 They are very good, but I've had better (especially the sauces) and unless I was passing thru, I would not take the drive into Dublin off of I-16 for the BBQ unless there no better options (which is possible). read more

Holy Smokes BBQ And Catering - Combo platter, pulled pork, ribs 4), lean brisket & 1/4 thigh /leg under the bread. The sides Brunswick stew (ehh) & Brisket Chili! - Barbeque Near Me - Dublin, Georgia

First off understand this is a food truck setup permanently in a parking lot with a tent to eat under. The day we stopped it was windy and cold - which wasn't their fault but did kind of dampen the experience. The BBQ was very good - Wife and I both had the pulled pork. Sides are a little limited and portions were small. Very nice staff and they were cooking the BBQ in big smokers right next to the tent which gives the place a nice aroma. Good stop in this part of the country! read more

Good bbq spot. I had the brisket dinner and chose fries and baked beans. The beans tasted good but were a little thick. The fries were tasty. They were somewhere in between standard cut and shoestring and they were dusted with their rub. I chose the fatty cut for the brisket (you can select lean, fatty or chopped.) The rub added a light flavor and the bark was good. The fat cap was jellatinous as it should be. I also added a cup of brisket chili. It was a good take on chili - I'd get it again if they offer it. Finally, I got chopped pork to go. It had a good, light smoke flavor and didn't have a lot of fat. I enjoyed that the next day. Overall, a good bbq joint that I will definitely visit again. read more

The chicken and brisket were cooked to perfection. The Brunswick stew was delicious...very meaty and smoky taste! Worth the 10 minute drive from the interstate. Very roomy and clean inside. read more

Pulled pork sandwich and rib dinner... AWESOME! We're going to make this a regular stop on our road-trips to Savannah. Wonderful people and even better service. Highly recommended! read more

First time visiting this place. They had picnic style tables. The restrooms didn't have a changing table. The food was basic bbq. I absolutely loved the baked beans & the choices of bbq sauce but that was all. Paid $23 for two meals bbq was cold. Wish there was more to the actual meals left still hungry ‍ read more

We will not eat here again. Unclean environment. Germs and flies. They are so busy that they can't keep a cleaner restaurant.

Brisket was great, I was expecting a little bit more than 4 small slices for an $18 meal though.

I love their ribs, BBQ is good too! Usually go to Ga. Bobs as it is close to work. Holy Smokes is hard to beat!

The Ribs are so tender with sweet spicy barbecue sauce Brunswick stew taste so homemade it's delicious highly recommend

Holy smokes. Theres no building. Its food truck. Wth?!?! We stopped in dublin ga for a bbq sandwich. Lets start with the good. Good proteins and sauce. The outdoor seating sucks cuz the flies swarm like your a jar of honey. The buns were kids size and they ran our of forks. I guess ill slurp mu coleslaws and beans. This is a side of tue road food truck. Not sure if he has a license. The beans were ok and the slaw was weird. Kinda orange in color. Sweet and vinegary but i had to use my knife and could get enough in my mouth to taste. Well back in our cat . We just shoved our sandwiches just in time not to get flied to death. Dont stop. It not worth it on so many levels. Too quick to get going couldn't take any pics. read more

Great place. Very friendly with a great variety of food. Bbq was great. Moist and in nice cuts. Rib are awesome.

There is just something about food trucks that takes me back to Houston. Add BBQ, and I really feel like I'm back in Texas. My first trip here I got the basic: a pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and thank to a Yelp check-in offer, a free side of Brunswick stew. My husband ordered the sandwich only with baked beans. The potato salad is out of the world. I love a good chunky potato salad and they hit the nail on the head. Beans were good, nothing jumped out at me about them. This was my first time trying Brunswick stew and it was tasty; a tad on the sweet side for me though. As for the pulled pork, it was falling out of the sandwich bun it was piled so high. And, it was melt in your mouth delicious! My second trip I decided on the pulled pork quesadilla with jalapenos. Once again, it did not disappoint! It was piled high once again between two crispy tortillas. (Only thing missing is some cheese.) I take off a star for the sauce. I am thankful you can get it on the side since I am not a fan of sweet BBQ sauces. That's just my personal taste though. read more

Food is always great. Same for the customer service. I have been eating here for years and never get tired of it. Definitely a must try.

This place was pretty good. I will have to try other sauces that they have. The Carolina Mustard Sause was not a favorite of mine, but everything else was delicious. The ribs was extremely tender and the sides was wonderful. Will be back soon!!! read more

Solid bbq! M glad we stopped. Good Mac and cheese. The winder was the bbq chicken tacos. I'm m seriously craving them again.

It's hit-and-miss so far for me. The first time I went it was the bomb. The second time however not so much.

Deliciously different BBQ. The Hot Mama is a must try! Don't miss the potato salad too! This family owned restaurant is a real gem for the Emerald City! They truly are the definition of community. Can't miss the smoking Bull out front. Be sure to try all of the BBQ sauces and grab a bottle to take home. Try the ribs too! read more

Driving down I16 and needed to eat. Stopped in based on the response to the owner's response to a negative review (ok and all the positive feedback on the food too.) It is no longer a food truck. Now it's in a building complete with tables, a/c and a restroom. I had the pulled pork sandwich and hubby had the pit master sandwich. We both got beans as sides. Everything was delicious. I got to taste the sausage off of hubby's sandwich and it was very good! I liked combining the sweet and spicy sauce with the mustard one. The beans have pulled pork in them which I liked but hubby didn't care for. It was a tad on the sweet side but still tasty. read more

OMG, probably the beat ribs I have ever had; tender and tasty. Enjoyed trying the sauces at the table. Ive never been much of a BBQ fan, but Holy Smokes is changing my mind! read more

Ribs are excellent! Pulled pork was dry! And Mac and cheese was greasy mess but nice staff and like I said awesome Ribs!

Best barbecue in Dublin. They have since moved locations over to the shopping center by Kroger.

Came here for lunch when I was working in Dublin. This place has excellent bbq for a great price. My favorite was the brisket chili, it hits the spot on a cool afternoon. The food is served off a food truck with a huge parking lot and outdoor seating. They have a very polite staff and more importantly excellent food. This will be my first stop when I am back in town. read more

I visited Holy Smokes for the first time today and was thoroughly pleased! The pulled chicken was great. The coleslaw and the baked beans both had a unique twist that I've never had before. Imagine coleslaw with a slight tangy twist and baked beans with brown sugar and pork I believe. The BBQ Sweet and Spicy sauce was also tasty and had a unique taste. It was clear that everything was made in house and that this establishment is comfortable in their own BBQ skin. I highly recommend! read more

You know how you crave bbq at times, just to be disappointed because it's too dry, salty, or burnt? That's definitely not this. The ribs and baked beans were exactly how I imagined that I wanted them to taste...juicy, seasoned, and simply delicious! Pricing was also very reasonable with very kind and helpful staff. Great place when traveling through Central GA! read more

Always top notch!!! When family comes into town we definitely make sure they have the chance to try this place!!

The new location is SO NICE!! It's gorgeous and they definitely didn't leave the awesome food or excellent service behind.

Food is amazing staff is even better great experience great food recommend it to anyone TACOS ARE OUTSTANDING

Can just drink the sweet and smoky sauce that they make. Crave something from there at least once a week. Even when trying to eat healthy- the quarter chicken tastes incredible and i feel good about eating it. It doesn't even need the sauce. read more

Good food truck BBQ. Nice people. BBQ trophies out front. Had the pulled pork sandwich. Yummy bun and sweet sauce.

Great place to stop for a quick bite. Clean and professional. Sweet sauce is very good, coleslaw is sweet and tasty. Great BBQ A+++
