"I love this place. Phil is really friendly. He'll talk to you about making barbecue or probably about anything else. The rest of the help (one woman is the only other person I can remember seeing there) is friendly. The pulled pork is the best I have tasted in North Georgia, bar none. It's smoky, it's as tender as it could possibly be, and applying sauce is up to the customer. This is how it ought to be done. There are sweeter sauces and hotter ones to choose from, all good. The sides are good too, but really I'm all about the meat when I go here. This place looks pretty humble from the road, but the great barbecue places often do. I first tried this place after seeing the Atlanta Magazine write-up online. I thought surely some writer from down in Atlanta wouldn't know squat about good barbecue, but I guess that one did, because this place is tops. If you're driving far to get here, just make sure they're open before you head out. They have somewhat limited hours. And oh yeah, in case you haven't read anything else about this place, you add up your own bill from the menu board. If you don't find that old-fashioned and charming, suck it up, because the barbecue here is more than worth it!"
