  If you like BBQ, Dubs is a great place to stop by in Calhoun. The service is fast and friendly, so it's a great place to stop by during your lunch break.
  
  Before I tried Dubs, I was afraid to eat BBQ, but that has change now! Make sure you try their BBQ sandwich It really makes the visit!

  It is one of the best rib places I have ever tried - I try to get there once a week. Also, great sauces. The meat falls off the bone and I think the price is very good compared to the national chains in town.

  Personally, I'm not impressed.  The BBQ is good, but nothing special.  Same goes for the sides.  Factor in the high prices and it's just not worth it.

  Price is a little high but it's worth every penny I spend there! It's the only good BBQ joint in NW GA and small business that this town loves. I suggest the pulled pork sandwich (small or large size)

  Dub's does not have any signage due to a Calhoun city ordnance restricting signage and it means the place is easy to miss as we drove right by it and had to make a U turn. We mentioned that to the hostess when we entered and got what we interpreted as a pretty indifferent and certainly less than welcoming reply.
  
  As it was our first time and we don't get to Calhoun often, I decided to order the pork plate with a side of 1/4 slab of ribs so I could try both. My brother had the pork sandwich. I had fried okra and baked beans and he had french fries and stew.
  
  The pork came without sauce (which is great so you can taste the meat) but the ribs came slathered in what I think is the original sauce (they have four sauces on the table). Neither the pork nor the ribs had any smoke flavor. The pork had no evidence of any bark either. Both could have been cooked in an oven.
  
  I tried all the sauces and several combinations and they helped but could not overcome the lack of pit smoke flavor. The okra were standard frozen okra, not bad, nothing special. The beans could have come out of a can and did not appear to have been enhanced with any home cooking additions. The Texas toast had almost no butter and no discernible flavor.
  
  My brother agreed that the pork did not taste smokey but he liked the sauces on the meat. Neither of us liked the stew. It was on the sweet side, fairly smooth with visible pieces of corn. French fries were fine.
  
  We arrived about 2pm and it did appear that we were the last customers there and it looked like they were closing so maybe we got the bottom of the barrel. All in all, not what I look for in a BBQ joint.

  According to one of its regular customers, Dub's is the only place in Calhoun that doesn't need a sign.  If it weren't for the red tin roof, I'm sure I would have whizzed right by it yesterday when I met my family there for lunch.  Even so, Dub's seemed really busy.
  
  Every member of the staff at Dub's was very nice, just what you would expect from a southern BBQ joint but seldom find anymore.  We had the fried pickle spears as an appetizer.  I was a little hesitant because they were served with the staple of southern dipping sauces/condiments/salad dressings:  ranch.  I was shocked at how good they tasted...I think everyone who goes to Dub's should try them.  
  
  For my entree, I had onion rings and the pork sandwich, which I smothered in the Dub's original sauce.  (There are four sauces from which to choose.)  It was delicious, but I think the pickle spears were my favorite part of the meal.  
  
  Overall, my experience at Dub's was great, but our table was terribly lopsided.  Instead of fixing it, the man who worked there watched my father crawl around on the floor and replace the missing rubber foot on one side of the table.  Also, our salt shaker was completely empty, so I had to grab one from another table.  Otherwise, I would have given Dub's five stars.  
  
  Random side note:  I was especially entertained by the national spelling bee competition that was playing on one of the TVs.  I watched 10-14 year-olds spell words like metarteriole, keratolysis, and dysautonomia.  Lassi was also one of the words, and it's pronounced like "glossy" without the "g" instead of like Lassie the dog.  Tricky, tricky, you spelling bee moderators.  I had to look up its meaning.  It's a Punjabi yogurt-based drink that can be made with Indian spices or sugar and fruit to make it sweet.  I'll have to try one some time.
