A lot of reviews talk about the last at the counter being rude. I didn’t find her to be rude at all. I don’t need my barbecue provider to be over the top sugar sweet.

We were out and about with family and looking for a place to eat that offered outdoor dining since we also had a small dog with us for the ride. This was a hidden gem that we found and also we had all been in the mood for bbq. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. I had the 3 rib plate, Brunswick stew, and Cole slaw. The corn is different, but I still thought it was good. I also had some mac and cheese which I thought was also good. The corn and Mac and cheese being leftover from my family that gave them over to me. I would certainly eat here again.

Not very fresh or tasty sandwiches. Prices are hearty but who can blame them? Kinda so so really but friendly owners. Pulled pork was ok but not freshly cooked.

Been coming here with my father since they opened. Nothing like a baitshop thats 5 mins from you. Quick and easy to get on the water. Im here anywhere from 2 days a week to 6 days a week. Healthy bait and the tanks show it. Always well taken care of and ive never had a bad meal. This family business will always have my business. Thank yall so much!

Finally stopped in after driving by several times weekly and was glad I did. The dining room is bigger than expected and decorated with lake photos. The barbecue was just fine as was the Brunswick stew. Will be back.

You will not be disappointed here. Their amazing service, tender meats, and homemade barbecue sauce makes this the perfect place to enjoy some BBQ. Owner’s Sherry and Terry are wonderful and work hard to provide a wonderful meal.

Ok. We didn’t get food here, but we got bait. I have to say thier tanks were very clean. I also got more bait than I ordered. They just scoop it out and charge you for what you wanted. Also I do have an aerated collapsible bucket I use. Have had this bait for almost a week. Just changed the water and fed them a bit. Still alive. Oh…..and the worms we got were great. Big ones. We are from New York state. No shop in out area has bait like this. Very good

We had been wanting to try Sherry’s for quite some time since they are north of us, away from all traffic in Gainesville, GA. They have a very nice set up but unfortunately falls short of what I have come to expect out of a BBQ place… A good brisket, amazing sides AND friendly service!! My wife joined me for this so she normally gets a veggie platter and ended up with MAC & CHEESE, GREEN BEANS, BBQ BEANS and POTATO SALAD. The MAC & CHEESE was good, cheesy with good cheese taste and the POTATO SALAD was OK, not bad but nothing spectacular. The GREEN BEANS did not taste good to us though and after one bite we thought “are they burned?”. The BBQ BEANS tasted like ketchup and had a strong flavor to them, so if you’re into those type of beans you’ll like them. I ordered a 3 MEAT plate and ordered an additional side since it only comes with 1 side, so I picked the MAC & CHEESE along with CREAM CORN. The MAC & CHEESE as mentioned above was good and the cream corn was creamy and tasty. The pulled pork was OK and could have been a more tender but with their carolina sauce it was good. By the way, we are NOT spicy eating people and their spicy sauce did nothing to neither one of us… that was a shock! My turkey was refrigerator COLD so definitely not cooked fresh and my brisket, although it had a good rub and taste, was tough. Definitely not one of my best BBQ finds 🙁

I have been a few times. I usually pick up on the way to work. Last time I remember not having enough sauce with my sandwich. One 2oz portion cup is not enough for a pulled pork sandwich. Today I called ahead and ordered 2 sandwiches. When I got there, I asked for some extra sauce. I was told that extra sauce is 50 cents each. I was shocked. Its not about the money. How are you going to sell a sandwich with not enough sauce to enjoy it, and then charge for more sauce? The women explained if I were eating there I could have more sauce and that the sandwiches were costed with the 2oz BBQ sauce. She also said that she didn’t make the rules. She politely offer me two more sauces. I have added a picture of the four “2 oz” sauces I received. Needless to say, my sandwich was still a bit dry and could have used more sauce.
