Before I even start with the food, let me just say that the ladies working the counter were as friendly and polite and welcoming as you'll find anywhere!! Just so nice!! I ordered the sampler platter so I could taste all their meats, and for my 2 sides collard greens (incredible!) and Mac & Cheese (delicious!). From the meats, the pulled pork was my favorite, followed closely by the ribs. Chicken and sausage were good as well. Also - the hot BBQ and Sweet BBQ sauces were very tasty and unique. But again - what made the food taste even better was the INCREDIBLE ladies who welcomed me in. As I was leaving, a man arrived to help them and he was equally friendly, thanking me profusely for coming in. Great people and great food - the perfect combination!

I had the chopped chicken since I don't eat much pork, but many in my party swear by the pork. Also the bread pudding is a fan favorite. They have a lot of seating and event community seating. On the weekend they have an open bar. After you get your food, you have a choice of 10 -15 sauces and you can get as much as you want. Unlimited refills in drinks too! This an old town mom and pop place with good food and fun vibes. They also have and event hall across the street.

I'm a fiend for good BBQ, and I seek it out whenever I'm in the South. Here we go:…read more Let's get this right out of the way: Pork ribs are not served, at least not when I visited. In my book, that's an automatic demerit. I chose the pulled pork sandwich with collards and mac n' cheese as my sides. The pulled pork was a little dry, but the house made BBQ sauces made that an easy fix. The collards were fine, but the mac n' cheese didn't grab me. The service was great. Friendly and on the ball throughout the meal. I have no complaints in this regard. However, the ambience is semi upscale, which in my experience is a red flag for a BBQ joint. It's BYOB, so in theory one could show up with a case of Natty Light, not that I'm recommending this necessarily. The qualifier is necessarily. In the final analysis, one can do better in Athens. I'm sorry to say this, but that's the way I see it.

They get a 3 only because of the service…read more I really wanted to like this place and the food looked so good online, but it just was not good. Started with the deviled eggs and they were completely over powered with mustard. It tasted like someone squirted it straight from a bottle into my mouth. Yuck. Ordered the stew they have? Server said it was very peppery and he was not kidding. Yuck again. Tasted like someone just put as much pepper in it as they could and no other flavor. Ribs looked really good and smelled awesome. But they just were not good or tender and there was hardly any meat. The top part of the rib was all fat and cartilage. I needed a knife to cut the meat off. Shouldn't need to do that for ribs. Mac and cheese was pretty good! Overall do not recommend based off of what I had. The service was top notch though and the manager didn't charge us for the food which I very much appreciate. If they can fix the food I would absolutely try there again because it smelled amazing inside. Maybe just an off day on the ribs? They looked like they should have been done but just didn't make it. Ribs should pass the bend test. Cook till you pick the rack up and they bend in the middle without breaking.

We saw that Boss Dawg offered catering so we ate dinner there to give it a try and we were sold. We spoke to the owner after dinner and told her what we were looking for and they said "we got you!" They brought the food on time, it was all served hot in aluminum serving pans, the servings were more than enough (we expected 30 people, ordered for 35, and had plenty left over), and it was very affordable. The brisket, chicken, collards, mashed potatoes, salad, cornbread, and tea were all so yummy! Our guests had happy tummies! We highly recommend Boss Dawg for both dining in and catering.

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.
