Smokin PO Boys BBQ - Winder (GA)

5 /5 Sony Antony: "You havent had BBQ if you havent been to Smokin PO Boys BBQ"..said my friend Patrick while sitting at Meander Brewing for a beer. Two days later, I decided to drive the 40 miles and 1 hour it would take for me to reach this joint. It was a charming place tucked away in the quaint town of Winder. Place was full of people. But I was lucky to get a seat without any waiting. My friendly server was one of those busy country girls who still manage to provide excellent service. I ordered a combo of chicken and steak, along with some unsweetened tea. Both dishes were fantastic! I ended up finishing my entire meal, even though it was enough for two servings. I really wish the restaurant were less than 15-minute drive from my place in Atlanta, as thats all I can afford for my lunch breaks on a regular basis.

2 /5 C R: After trying to park, with one of the only spots left next door the parking lot wasnt that bad. Across the street from the courthouse. Looking at the building it could use a paint job. As you approach the scribble all over the windows made me question if were in the right place. When we walked in everyone was standing in a long line at the cash register. After a few minutes of questioning do we sit down or stand we finally found out we could sit anywhere we wanted. The table was sticky and wet we had to wipe it ourselves. The choices were very limited. Basically its pork chicken or ribs. After ordering it appeared in front of us within 2 minutes. It obviously was not cooked fresh Im assuming they microwave the food. It tastes the ribs werent fresh, the pulled pork plate tasted very stale with Burnt pieces, the side dishes are not good. The potato salad tasted like they use the wrong type of potato and was very gross, the coleslaw tasted like it was mixed with water, the Brunswick stew tasted like it had no flavor, overall the only reason this got above two stars was because everyone was friendly. The entire place needs a thorough paint and clean inside and out. New menu and fresh food cooked when ordered.

2 /5 ME: This place has been on my list to try for a while and finally got to try it however the service was not great. My kids did not receive coloring stuff but we saw other kids at the restaurant with it. Our waiter was barely at our table however others wandering by would just ask "do you need anything" and one of those I asked for a to go container but never got it. Asked the waiter for it when he finally came by and still took a long time to get it. Food was good, fresh but the service definitely took away from the experience being nice and welcoming.

5 /5 Robert Wayne: Six members of my family gathered for lunch at this outstanding barbecue restaurant in Winder, Georgia! I had the mixed combo plate with delicious, pulled pork and barbecued beef ribs, fried okra, and slaw. It was incredible. The service was excellent, and the kitchy decor was quite entertaining. I highly recommend this restaurant when you’re in the mood for really really good barbecue!

5 /5 Alexandria Russell: Ok definitely worth a try for sure. I got the loaded bake potato with the sweet sauce and it was excellent. The Brunswick stew was the best stew Id had that isnt processed in a food processor. Im partial to finely ground Brunswick myself but theres is good. The banana pudding is freaking amazing!
