    Loaded Bar-B-Q Baker Brisket Mac & Cheese Bombs The Boss Sandwich
    Destiny G.

    First time coming here and just let me start off with the service, AMAZING. The seating area outside was very comfortable. The food was super good and came out quick. Everything was hot and seasoned to perfection. We got the Boss sandwich, loaded brisket potato and fried Mac n cheese bites. Will definitely come back to try the pulled pork.

    This is a really great place, as we were looking at the menu one of the owners introduced himself and helped us out what to pick, they make everything in house and it's really fresh. We ordered the Pitmaster nacho platter it was delicious. This is the best nachos you will find in Athens.

    Chicken tenders and loaded queso.

    This is a little chain and the food is really good. I like the chicken tenders more than the bbq, and the bbq is good. It is close to Costco and that is convenient. The interior is kinda what you would expect for a contemporary restaurant that is looking for some nostalgia vibes. The outdoor seating is pleasant if it is not too hot, there is very little noise from traffic. The only thing I do not like is the stand in line service. Everyone is friendly and food comes quickly to your table, I just prefer that I could order at a table versus the lineup.

    Smoked chicken platter with white bbq sauce

    First visit to the Athens location since we moved here in late April. Place was very nice with indoor and outside dining along with drive thru. Noticed that you order up front rather than table service at this location. Worked out well and quick. I had the pull pork platter with collards and baked beans. Meat was plentiful and perfectly sauced. Sides were very good with their tasty biscuits. My wife had the quarter smoked chicken with white bbq sauce. Her sides were potato salad and fruit. She loved the smoky taste of the chicken dipped in the sauce. Very good barbecue and sides.

    Customer service is amazing here! They weren't open yet but they let us in to sample the menu during their friends and family event. They took care of us, explained the menu and gave us drinks! They have a double drive through, takeout counter inside, dining counter with tables and bar! Very clean and modern design. Go check them out

    Lots of meat on the brisket sandwich.

    Food is good. I have tried the beef brisket sandwich and the pulled pork plate--both excellent. The mac n cheese is killer good. Collard greens were really good. We had really knowledgeable wait staff who provided good service. Ambiance--it's a new place so everything is clean and new. The noise level is worrisome...we were there for a late lunch with only a few customers inside--and it was noisy.

    Collard greens

    Best BBQ in Athens. Sooo yummy! Cheddar biscuits are sweet like cornbread muffins. The collard greens were on point! Potato salad, Mac and cheese, and baked beans were all good. Ribs were great! I loved the option for Carolina pulled pork. I'm a huge vinegar fan.

    The absolute worst brisket I've ever had in my life- so tough I couldn't chew it. Will not ever go back.

The food: I went with the Fried Chicken Blue Plate. Between the regular and the Nashville Hot, the Nashville was the winner--flavorful and moist without being overwhelming with the spice. Huge shoutout to my server for suggesting the brussel sprouts; that glaze is incredible and they were easily my favorite part of the plate. The mashed sweet potatoes were unique--I'm still debating if I liked them or loved them. The jalapeño cornbread was a bit sweet for my taste but on par with most restaurant cornbread. The mac & cheese wasn't bad, but also didn't do much for me like most restaurant mac & cheese. The cocktail: Do not sleep on Nana's Naissance. I wasn't sure what to expect from the ingredients, but it's like an elevated take on Rumchata. The service: I was seated at the bar and experienced a noticeable delay--a group that arrived well after me almost finished their meal before mine arrived. However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.
