A local favorite. It’s either drive thru or order at the window… so no “atmosphere” except what you’re breathing. Great food and great service!

I review restaurants across many platforms. Whitts in Athens is very good! Their vinegar based sauce is delicious!!! However, I have found inconsistency in their meat. Most occasions is perfect but I have gotten food at times when the meat was very dry.

I know BBQ is like Ice Cream, everyone has different taste, but a Whitt’s sandwich is something everyone should try. In my opinion, it’s the perfect blend of moistness, smokiness and meat. I wish I lived closer, I might be there every week.

I’ve have been going to whitts BBQ for 30+ years and it is as good today as it was back then. Moist, tasty and delicious. Their pork sandwiches is as good as it gets.

Best bbq around. My most recent order was messed up but that doesn’t mean I won’t go back. Just count your sandwiches before you leave. My order was one short and I didn’t realize it until I was halfway back to Huntsville.

Whitt’s is the best and always will be. Many other BBQ places add all sorts of strange flavors to their food thinking that they’ll make it better or a bit different which is great but the flavors shouldn’t be all that you taste.

Literally the best barbecue in Athens. I’ve never once had a problem with my food or the service. Pulled pork is what I usually get but the turkey is great as well. The loaded baked potato is to die for.

I wish the one in Decatur was opened past three. I can never make it there.

The food was great. Service was quick. The young lady “Tierra” working at the window was such a sweet heart, very respectful and hard worker. Would definitely recommend this place.
