Went back, merely for the brisket! That says a lot because it was an hour drive. Knowing the system now, I called ahead. This time I had ribs, brisket & fried chicken. I ate off of it for two days - don't judge me. LOL Brisket was tasty but drier than first time but still very good! Ribs were really good! Yes, sir! Fried chicken, pretty good too. White, Ga is a drive but the food is good. It's just cooled off by the time you return. A place to sit & eat would get it a 5 for this visit and for me learning how to navigate their system.

Do yourself a favor and pull-in and order all of the sides. It's a place where, I kid you not, the…read more"cobbler" is a vegetable side option! We will go out of the way to come by again. We were greeted enthusiastically by the nicest Southern gals. It's a quaint, small town "Meat 'N Three" place. The lot had pickups (great sign) and some local old fellers, about my age , who were wrapping up their afternoon lunch and coffee. All signs pointed to a good experience. The tea was fresh, strong, and hit the table as soon a my narrow butt hit the seat. The food was fast as well. Country fried steak, cole slaw, and mashed potatoes were fine. Graves-homemade. The green beans, greens, pintos (aka soup beans), toast, biscuit, and cobbler were top notch Southern delicacies. Several others were recommended, namely the home fried, fried mac 'n cheese, and fried corn. I mean, based on other reviews, the cheeseburger and chicken biscuit are next on our lists to try. If you have a bad experience here, you're trying hard.

License plates adorn the ceiling, with antique kids…read moreriding toys and Knick knacks of all kinds (a possum wearing a Santa hat!) pictures all over the walls, history of White, Restaurant shirts all around the world, stars and autographs, etc. They have amazing burgers and hot dogs. Their meat & vegetable options are amazing. If you order the fried pork chops I recommend getting some brown gravy on them. When you want a refill on your tea, just go to the register and ask. The servers stay busy with walk in/to go orders and delivering food they don't really have time to come back and "check" on you.

You order at the front and they bring your meal to the table, but then they clean up the tables after you! For the sides, we've had mac & cheese, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw and I can recommend all of them! When we chose the bread with our side, we were told this was the cornbread that was slightly sweet however it's not it's the salty savory kind. Hope this can help when anyone's placing their order to set expectations.

Lots of outdoor seating and they also have a drive through window. Just follow their entrance signs then the enter here sign but somehow missed the order here sign once inside. Thanks to the cashier for waving at us we then got back on track. Cashier was wonderful super nice and friendly. We ordered a couple of the 4 meat platter ($24) with choices of brisket, pulled pork, bbq ribs, turkey and pork sausage. For the sides mashed potatoes, geen beans, mac and cheese and potato salad. All the sides were really good but the meats not so much. The pulled pork was flavorless, brisket was on the dry side, ribs fell of the bone but were also flavorless and could not taste the smoke flavor. Turkey and pork sausage were the best. You get your choices of sauces . I stuck with original sweet bbq. My biggest disappointment was the corn bread. It was actually more of a corn meal muffin. No corn flavor and it was dry. You get two with your platter. I regret not ordering the Texas toast. Overall the place was clean, spacious with plenty of parking, great staff, signs everywhere but not the best bbq food I ever had.

While we did come in…read moreduring a busy time our patience was rewarded amazingly, we had our young child with us and her food was served first with ours out right behind it :) I must admit that the bbq is some of the best even compared to Texas or even Kansas City. The brisket was on point and the pastrami was better than, dare I say, Katz Deli in NYC! If you find yourself in on a busy day just be patient cause it's well worth it, and props to our waitress for handling us during a busy time with no issue; she was a taller lady with blackish hair

They sat us at our table and said someone would be with us. One table was occupied and had food in the dining room. We looked over the menu and sat and sat.... As we watched the staff in the kitchen in full view. Our waitress was eating something out of a cup and the others chatting away. Since we were such a bother we got up and left. Never again. Horrible service especially for a weekend when they had already been open for over an hour. Go to Bigguns instead where they are thrilled to see you and treat you like family! You'll thank me later.
