Or you can order some alcoholic slushies or shakes (very good). Thick wooden benches & tables for seating. Clean dining. Food's good. Restrooms are trippy. Jet black toilets. So unless there's a reflection coming off the water it looks like you're staring into the abyss. Anyway, nice place. Looks like it used to be a gas station converted into a restaurant. Only challenge is parking. Very limited. But good eats. Check it.

Recently though one of my friends mentioned LR Burger and I knew I needed to check it out. It took me a year to get there but I am so glad I took the leap and decided to try it. The first time we went I "chickened" out and got the Buffalo mother clucker sandwich which was "wowza!" So stinking good I had dreams about it which made me extra sure their burgers would be amazing. I saw the SouthPaw a double patty with blue cheese sauce tomato, & lettuce on the menu the next time and it was like pure kismet I knew that was my burger. I ordered it and what do you know it was phenomenal I mean pure bliss to partake in! There is something for everyone my very picky kiddo loved the Oklahoma and couldn't stop talking about how delish it was! Every single time I am remotely in the Monroe area (which is every day twice a day) I have to talk myself out of going to get one. So good. 10/10. My top burger in all 50 states so far. If you haven't been you must go immediately and have the burger of your life!!!

We've eaten here enough times that it feels less like a restaurant visit and more like part of the tradition. Tonight I ordered the Blue Plate Special with hamburger steak smothered in grilled onions, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, and a big bowl of Brunswick stew. My unsweet tea stayed filled thanks to Rhonda, who was serving tables while also managing the restaurant. We learned that Hot Rod's started the evening with three servers scheduled. Business was slow, so one server was sent home. Naturally, that's when things picked up. Even so, Rhonda and the remaining server kept everything moving smoothly, and we never felt neglected during our visit. The Brunswick stew was excellent and gave us an unexpected opportunity for comparison. Earlier in the day we had Brunswick stew at Fresh Air Bar-B-Que. Hot Rod's version was chunkier, with larger pieces of meat, more noticeable vegetables, and a slight kick of spice. The Fresh Air version was smoother and more finely blended. Both were excellent, but they were definitely different styles. The hamburger steak was flavorful, the green beans and collard greens tasted like proper Southern vegetables, and when the Texas Pete hit the table there was only one thing to say: "My man, Texas Pete goes on the collards." Then came the surprise ending. We learned that peach cobbler was half price today. Unfortunately, they were out. Or so we thought. A fresh cobbler was still in the oven. For the next several minutes, the suspense reached maximum peach. Finally, the cobbler emerged from the kitchen and was served à la mode. The French gave it a classy name. The South perfected the application. Warm peaches, a buttery cobbler topping, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream that immediately melted with a purpose made for the perfect ending to the meal. It was absolutely worth the wait. Hot Rod's continues to be one of our favorite stops in Social Circle, and after another great meal, I have no doubt we'll be back again the next time we're in town.

Today I experienced Baddies Burgers for a second time, but at a different location and I must fully…read moreadmit... I was so confused! Just two days ago I experienced the Gainesville location for the first time and while I enjoyed their triple burger, the patties were cooked a little too crispy. I get those crispy edges are what many people love the most about a smash burger, but my preference is a juicy burger dripping with toppings. I didn't think this was possible after my first visit, but today the Watkinsville location completely changed my belief. My burger was so juicy and so dripping with toppings that it kept slipping off the bun. I actually had a difficult time eating it and used a ton of napkins to keep my fingers and face somewhat clean as I gorged! But WOWZA was I impressed. The very thing I made note of in my Gainesville review was fully redeemed here. I should note that I experienced this location via a pop-up food stand outside newly opened Grizzle Brewery during a Saturday vintage car show in Monroe, GA. But the owner insisted our experience here was as genuine and true as we would get at the brick & mortar. He also mentioned their policy is to deliver the burger within 3 minutes of ordering, which they did effortlessly both here and in Gainesville. I am officially a fan!

So let's start with the good: The service was top notch and the restaurant was super clean! The decor is definitely hip and I love to see places like this popping up in small towns. Our server, and likely the owner or at least one of, was extremely attentive, anticipating our needs and checking to ensure we were all set. Great experience in that regard. Now the food: As far as food goes it was good and the prices weren't bad, at least going rate for bbq joints these days. As far as bbq, there is better out there. We don't live in the area so we wouldn't be regulars anyway. If we did live in the area, I'd eat there again but as far as bbq goes, it's not my first choice. The ribs were good. The brisket was a bit dry and a lean cut rather than the fatty cut we asked for. The collards could use a bit of vinegar/pepper sauce, not sure, just missing something to make them hit. The Mac n cheese, I think maybe they were trying for a gourmet flair with some specialty cheeses, not sure. Had I expected that, like something in the description on the menu, maybe I would've enjoyed it more. I'm open to new and fresh spins on classics, but I was expecting traditional baked mac-n-cheese. The Brunswick stew was good but a bit flat on flavor. I added salt. The baked beans... they actually did hit. I can certainly give em that one. The kiddos got chicken tenders and fries and while I didn't try them they did look good. The tenders looked like they would make a delicious sandwich too. The sweet tea was perfection. Overall lunch was good and I do wish the restaurant well. I just think they have a bit of room for improvement.
