Although this place is well known and been in business for years, I found it to be just about average. I’ve had much better BBQ and I’ve had much worse. It looks as if they haven’t wasted any money sprucing up the interior during the past 40 years, but it IS the only EATS joint between Watkinsville and Greensboro.

I was en route from Athens to Savannah. It was a bit early for lunch, but as I drove by and smelled the smoke from the smokers I did a quick u-turn and enjoyed every bite and every moment in the quaint country dining room. Loved the Chicken Mull side dish…Google it.

Excellent food and nice environment. My first ever bbq in USA in 2014 and since then I have been going there. I love their chicken plate (however, I like their sauce on the side so that I can pour it by my self). Their chicken mull is my wife’s favorite. I highly recommend Hot Thomas.

So I’ve been there a handful of times. The food is decent. Mash potatoes are good, Mac and cheese, bbq and hamburgers are good. No refills on soft drinks but that’s no big deal. Only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the staff isn’t very friendly unless they know you. You can tell they’re really friendly to people they know and distance themselves from new customers. Overall great food and not a very warm welcome

The best family owned bbq joint you can go to around here in my opinion. They have always been nice and welcoming when walking threw the door. You can call and Jake your order so it will be ready when you get there. The chocolate pie they sale is to die for! Not to mention when my mom worked there they were so nice and treated her good as well.

People who work there are nice. And the location/atmosphere is cool. But the food is pretty bad.

I have been eating there every chance I get for the past 20 years. Excellent pork barbecue, and their chicken mull is the best I’ve ever had, I just bought 7 quarts to go!

First of all, go on the weekend so you can get their BBQ Chicken because THAT IS WHERE IT IS AT. Then order their chicken mull and potato salad because those are the best BBQ sides in Athens. But most importantly, you *have* to order their chocolate pecan pie because holy cow, it’s the best dessert in Athens. A little birdie told me that if you ask nicely, they’ll top it with their homemade ice cream

Great BBQ stop, nice little country stop. Glad we did a U-turn when we passed by. And the chicken mull is fantastic, hadn’t heard of it bit glad I ventured. It’s a cross between chicken noodle soup and Brunswick stew with touch of black pepper and a big touch of awesome
