Bill's BBQ-Hull Georgia
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
If you head north out of Athens on GA29, you will come to the intersection of 29 and 106. A quick left onto 106 (Forston Road) will show your the parking lot for Bill's BBQ. We had seen it several times coming back into town from SC, but had never stopped. One Monday we tried to have lunch there, but apparently Bill's is dark then. Months later we made it back.
Smells like fry grease inside. The walls are covered in Dawg posters and memorabilia so that's cool. They had a great picture of Richt talking to Meyer with augmented with (paraphrase) right over there we will do a team dance. We also are going to sack you Heisman winner 5 times.......(/paraphrase)
This doesn't really seem like a Q place. They have too many things in the menu which are not Q; Bill's Burgers and Fries might be a better name. Anyway, the counter help was hugely lacking in Southern Hospitality and seemed bothered by our presence. When we ordered our pork plates, we were asked, "Hot or Mild?". This ended up meaning that they were going to dump some cayenne based sauce on our pork. By the time we got home, the pork had absorbed all of the sauce liquid and we were left with some dried on cayenne. The plate apparently had no options and included a huge amount of stew and very little pork. Picture your standard three hole styro to-go conatiner; the little one on the top left was pork, the big one on the bottom was full of stew.....Bill's Deep-Fried Brunswick Stew Palace? The stew was good, the pork was ok.
Its a hassle for us to get to, the counter was indifferent and the Q was mediocre. We'd say skip it and go somewhere else.
Ambiance rating: 1 Squealers
(Only the Bulldog posters kept the grease at bay)
Food rating: 1 Squealers
(meh, it wasn't bad)
Beer rating: 0 Squealers
