4 /5 Mia Caringal: This restaurant was featured in Eater Atlanta Athens Top Ten Edition as well coming in 3rd for Trip Advisors Athens BBQ Restaurants. My guest was a bit leery on the name choice as it doesnt conjour up pittmaster BBQ. But while he doesnt feel strongly about Google Reviews, he did have more faith in Trip Advisor. And I pointed out this restaurant made both lists. As we wanted to dine out for Sunday Dinner another factor was serving Sunday evening until 8PM.
We had the only appetizer - Housemade Pimento Cheese with Wheat Crackers. We also shared both BBQ Plates - Pulled Pork and Pulled Chicken which are accompanied by a soft, warm Roll, Mac and Cheese, and Coleslaw. The Macaroni is soft and well cooked with a good balance of cheese. Coleslaw is fresh cabbage with light dressing. BBQ was moist.
While other reviews mention BBQ Sauce Overload to the point of getting messy, we had light sauce on both plates.
We also shared the fresh Banana Pudding.
Sadly the bathroom is accessed via the back of the building walking on several uneven surfaces which is not wheelchair accessible. (Surface starts off cement, uneven brick, leaves/grass, and uneven concrete. But if you have light mobility issues the bathroom itself has handicap railings.
Plenty of parking on street or across the street in the neighboring church parking lot with permission.
The ambiance is eclectic and cozy.
