Bill's BBQ-Hull Georgia

2008-01-23T17:50:00.000-08:00

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.

Colonel Poole's BBQ

2007-09-28T19:35:00.000-07:00

Must get away.....Must be somewhere else.......Go to Mountains, Stay in cabin, Bring the barky-barks.

Bailed work early on Friday, loaded food, wine, dogs & Punkerdoo into VehicleOfPunkerdooAndHusband and headed for Cherry Log via R53N. Our plan was to hope to hit East Ellijay in time to try what was reputed to be some of North Georgia's best Q.

Luck was on our side and we arrived ~7pm (Poole's closes @ 8PM on Friday). The place is easy to find as it is just off of 515. The outside is fine example of kitsch overload with a towering "pig hall of fame" hill and hand painted signs and cars. We pulled into the parking lot and were immediately greeted with the fine smell of hickory. Poole's has outside seating, so we were going to have our dogs eat with us. We opened the back to let them out and immediately discovered Rainah had chewed her leash into bitesized chunks. Load them back up and travel to Ingles for a replacement leash. Back to Poole's ~7:30. We ordered our standard:

Punkerdoo: Pork Plate with slaw & potato salad
Husband: Pork Plate with slaw & stew

They had 2 sauce choices on the "to go" counter, so I obtained portions of each. When we opened our containers, we found that our pork had been pre-sauced. If you have read any of my previous posts, you know that I think that pre-sauceing is evil. So then, strike one. The pork was not too moist, nor too dry, not really anywhere so I guess it was OK. There was more smoke in the air from the pit than was in the meat, but there was some evidence of smokey flavor. The slaw was not my favorite, though I cannot remember why. The stew was 1st rate, but no one remembers the potato salad. I guess that pretty much sums of the food, edible, but not memorable. Oh yeah, why do people serve toasted buns as bread? Buns are buns, things to contain sandwhich items, NOT to be eaten as bread. We did hit them near closing, so I suppose they need some compensation for that, but not much. We would eat at Poole's BBQ again, but will try some of the others in the area before returning.

Bubba's BBQ

2007-09-12T20:47:00.000-07:00

HEY! Guess what? I am going to review a Q joint that is not on Hwy 441.

Punkerdoo and I were on our way to Chapel Hill, NC to help Photo Specialties with their Bid Day. We hit Charlotte around lunch time, so we asked Guy (remember him?) where we might locate some sustenance.

Guy came up with several suggestions, one of which involved a "seafood barn & BBQ" in the title. As LongHairedBrotherOfPhotographerInGermanyWhoWorkedForHusband would say, NOT! We were torn between Bubba's and Smokehouse. We decided Smokehouse might well be a chain and that anyone who would call their place Bubba's was either crazy or closed or both. Bubba's turned out to be a very good choice.

They are proponents of Eastern North Carolina BBQ. This means Hickory smoke and vinegar based sauce. In addition, it might also mean hushpuppies instead of white bread; not sure, but that is what they gave us.

At any rate, we knew we were in the right place when we parked next to a local Sherrif's Deputy. Cops always know where to eat. Then again, I suppose he could have been serving someone or busting up a ketchup based sauce ring.

Back to the food. It was a busy place, but we were seated immediately. Sweet tea? No, non sweet and lemonade please.

We ordered the $7.99 lunch special.

Punkerdoo: Pork Plate, Baked Beans, Potato Salad
Husband: Pork Plate, Slaw, Potato Salad.

The baked beans ruled! Just a hint of molasses. The slaw was pretty good too, it was mustard based which was a new one for me. The Q was excellent; it had just enough smoke and was very moist without having that I just got microwaved look and feel. Please go eat Bubba's Q. You will be happy you did.

Fat Buddies BBQ

2007-07-20T21:08:00.001-07:00

If find it really strange that while most resturants have names that do everything to hide the fact that you will actually be consuming food (and probably food that is not good for you), BBQ joints go out of their way to remind you that you are going to eat PIG. As someone once said, "pork fat rules!"

Punkerdoo and I had to head to Ohio to attend cousinofpunkerdoo's Big Fat Greek Wedding (no relation to the aforementioned fat pig.) We had just purchased a Mio C220 so we thought it might be fun to drive by a completely ridiculous route just to piss off the GPS. We decided to call our GPS "Guy" (Think French..Ghee).

We were going north on 441 and wanted to do whatever was necessary to keep from driving through the Park and into Gatlinburg. When we hit Franklin, NC we decide to have lunch. We asked Guy about where to eat some Q and he started spouting directions that led us through some residential section of town, down what looked like an alley and suddenly we were in the back lot of a strip mall. About the time Guy said, "you have arrived", we saw the sign for Fat Buddies. Guy rules!

Anyway, being the suspicious and doubting type, I try to avoid stipmalls in practice and stripmall BBQ on ethics. However, we were here and we were hungry, so we went in. The place is big and was very busy. We noticed when walking up that there was no tell-tale scent of hickory or oak in the air, so my alarm bells were going off.

We were seated immediatley and looked at the menu. This place has many things other than Q, but they also seemed centered around ribs (as if the t-shirts stating "I sucked bones at Fat Buddies" didn't give that away). They did have several options on "smoke cooked pork" so we went for the standard pork plate (.50 extra for pulled rather than chopped)

Husband had pork plate with slaw and potato salad (no stew on menu)
Punkerdoo has pork plate with fries and potato salad

HEY! The meat tasted like smoke cooked pork. Wood cooked BBQ that actually has some essence of smoke in it! Weird. Then I remembered that we noticed no signs of a pit. Maybe this Q was cooked in an oven that had a sawdust smoker attached..... The purist in me hopes not, but damn the meat was proper.

At any rate, give Fat Buddies a try, they have 3 locations.

GA Pig BBQ

2007-07-10T15:45:00.001-07:00

If you head south on I-95, you are bombarded by Sonny's BBQ billboards. While they do tend to make one hungry, the thought of having to eat at one keeps us looking for local BBQ eateries. The problem with looking for M&P food while driving on an Interstate is that they tend not to advertise. As we were just about to cross over in Florida, I spied a small sign near Brunswick, GA "GA Pig BBQ". We we got off I95 and turned left onto Route 82 into a swath of gas stations and fast food joints. We were encouraged by the sudden appearance of what looked like a large shack that had been ripped from its life in the swamp and deposited amid some weeping willows and pine trees. Perfect! The parking lot was dirt and gravel and there were no sidewalks other than pine straw. It was 3 in the afternoon, so the lot was empty; however the OPEN neon in the window was lit. Several signs on the outside warned against 4-legged animals on the porch and cameras on the inside. Better and better.
It was nearly 100F outside and not much cooler inside even though there was a window unit or two cranking away. Once inside, you realize that this shack had never been moved as the ceiling doubles the roof and the exposed rafters and beams were actual pine trees. Their open pit is inside and next to the counter which makes for a hot and smoky atmosphere. Enough about the building, on to the food.

Husband ordered a pork plate with stew and potato salad.
Punkerdoo had a pork plate with stew and slaw.

The pork plate is served open faced on toasted buns and is pre-sauced. Personally, I prefer to sauce my own food, so this was a strike against the pig. They did have an amazing assortment of hot sauces available, but the only BBQ sauce on the table was the same ketchup based sauce as what was on the plate. We also don't really like ketchup based sauces, but when in Brunswick.....

We found it really amazing that there was so much smoke and flavor in the air but none in the pork. The meat was fresh and moist (we watched the guy chop it up), but the lack of smoke made us realize why they slather their sauce on the meat.

The stew was really good though, you could actually pick out recognizable vegetables such as lima beans and corn. So many times stew looks like it has been run through a food processor, so this was a treat. I guess if you want good Brunswick stew, you need to order it in Brunswick, GA.

I had ordered a bottle of water, but Punkerdoo ordered lemonade which was served from a communal thermos at a center table. There must be some heavy concentrations of sulfur in their local water supply because the lemonade smelled so much like rotten eggs that it was undrinkable.

We are not sure what the deals was with the meat, they had obviously been doing this for quite some time, maybe we just expect too much flavor? We would still pick it over Sonny's though.

Jot Em Down BBQ

2007-07-01T20:59:00.001-07:00

I know, 2 BBQ places in 2 days. Too bad! We will probably try Bill's BBQ (just outside of Athens on N29) on Monday. Hell, I think we might just smoke our own butt for the 4th.

Jot Em Down BBQ is in our minds (and mouths) the best Q in the Athens area. That is, aside from our own :) Actually, it is the best commercial BBQ we have had.

It is consistently moist and smoky. The sauces are varied and good and the banana pudding is always tip-top.

We keep wondering why the more established places in the area can't get as much flavor in their pork. I guess that Jot Em Down just pays more attention.

Jot Em Down is based in the old Williams' Grocery on Whitehall Road near the Barnett Shoals Road intersection. The building was built around 1924, and operated "as a country store serving everything from fresh cut meat to hardware, toys and gasoline." Today, they sell Q, ribs, and white bread. They also have their own line of Chow, tomato relish and other pickled BBQ requirements. The interior looks just like a 20's grocery with rough hewn floors, trap doors and Redneck Greece head shots.

Try them out, you won't be disappointed. Order the pork plate with slaw and stew (potato salad if you are feeling perky). I prefer the hot sauce (vinegar and cayenne) Punkerdoo goes mild. I have not tried the XX-hot as i prefer my green sauce to be on my enchaladas.

Zeb Dean's BBQ

2007-06-30T16:32:00.000-07:00

On the Hartwell side of Danielsville is Zeb's BBQ. I had read that this was the place to go in the Athens area for proper Q. As we were coming down from SC, we pulled off I85 at R77 and then took R29S back into Athens. We saw many a Q shack on the way, so there are more places to try.

Zeb's looked like the place to get good Q as it was in a small building along the road not really anywhere near a town. The place was a flurry of activity even though it was 4pm on a Saturday. We stood in line at the counter to place our order, but were surprised to find out that we needed to sit down and order from a menu.

I ordered the pork plate with slaw, stew and SierraMist ( I HATE sweet tea) and Punkerdoo had the same only with Lemonade. The pork was very moist and tasted just like moist pork. That is to say, there was no hint of smoke flavoring whatsoever. We were really disappointed as this was purported to be the authentic North Georgia Q place. The sauce wasn't bad, but I think the sauce should be an option rather than a requirement. The sign outside says "Hickory Smoked". I guess that means that Andrew Jackson was addicted to nicotine.

We will try Zeb's again, but I doubt we will go out of our way to do so.

Fresh Air BBQ

2006-09-06T00:18:00.000-07:00

Just east out of Athens on Athens Highway is the Bogart version of Fresh Air BBQ. Locals and the adventurous know that the iffy looking exterior encases some of the best Q in the area. (edit: they repaved the parking lot)
Once inside, you immediately realize that you are in a BBQ house somewhere in the south. Step up to the counter and order. I don't believe I have ever been in Fresh Air when Fox News was not playing on the TV in the corner; so, in order to keep from banging our heads on the counter, we usually order to go. Don't be worried about the looks or the programming, the pork is worth the stop.

Mountain Man BBQ

2006-07-31T13:03:00.000-07:00

On the edge of the GA-NC border, just north of Dillard sits a place called Mountain Man BBQ (Like everything, its on 441). From the outside, this looked like your typical roadside eatery, but the pit was right out front and smelled fantastic.
Upon entering, you can choose 2 directions in the front hall which are apparently the smoking and non-smoking sections. As we don't smoke cigarettes and didn't feel like starting, we chose the non side. On the day of our visit, the hostess had apparently forgotten to come to work, so they had enlisted the help of a young boy. According to our waitress, he was doing a much better and more accurate job. The interior was really interesting. That is to say interesting in the sense of monochromatic pine paneling and plastic flowers. Then again, we were there for the food. The smoking side, which I think doubled as the bar, may have been more eyecatching.
Most of the BBQ places we have visited don't have Baklava on the menu, but when we paid our bill to a Greek gentleman, we felt better about its inclusion.

Oinkers

2006-07-28T18:34:00.000-07:00

Heading north on GA-441 (Why are we always on 441?), just south of Clayton, GA you will run across Oinkers. If you see the huge Wal-Mart in the sky, not only will it ruin your illusion of eating BBQ in the middle of nowhere (which is exactly where you are) but you have also traveled too far north. Make sure to bring cash because they don't take American Express or any other form of modern payment. Husband had read that the Q was good so we were expecting more. Maybe they were having a off day, but we found the meat to be dry and flavorless. Their sides however kicked-ass. The Brunswick stew was the best we have had in a while.
